Tree of possibilitiesplanning an autonomous vehicle's course often involves an approach called Markov Decision Process (MDP) a sequential decision-making framework that resembles a tree of possible actions.
Planning a vehicle's route over any length of time therefore can result in an exponential growth of probable outcomes
vehicle-level planning such as a vehicle's location at any given time; and mission-level or health planning such as the condition of a vehicle's propellers cameras and fuel levels.
For vehicle-level planning he developed a computational approach to POMDP that essentially funnels multiple possible outcomes into a few most-likely outcomes.

While traveling across the country and passing through different types of environments we stopped every few hundred miles to evaluate the immediate roadside vegetation and comparing that to the plants in the natural environments 20 meters away from the road.
but their scientific work closer to home in the New jersey Pinelands also has a relationship to the road.
In New jersey the most densely populated state in the country the network of roads can dramatically shape the area of land that snake populations can occupy without facing significant risk of population loss during road crossings.
Roads reduce the number of snakes we can have by creating more small patches of usable habitat in many cases too small to support even a single pine snake Ward said.
and identified a total of 3872 habitat patches divided by roads and natural barriers. Of those only 156 patches were of a large enough size to support a small population of 3-5 adult snakes.

Two years ago the New jersey Air National guard agreed to participate in a pilot study to test the feasibility of using culverts to guide snakes under roads as part of a larger study of northern pine snakes at Warren Grove Gunnery Range.

The study titled Aphid amino acid transporter regulates glutamine supply to intracellular bacterial symbionts is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS.
Glutamine is ferried across a membrane that surrounds the cells where the bacteria lives by an amino acid transporter named Apglnt1.
To study this transport mechanism the researchers used a procedure that uses frog eggs (called oocytes) to manufacture Apglnt1.
and transporters said Luetje. The oocytes are useful for expression of a wide variety of proteins
To our surprise the transporter is a key regulator of the factory production line said Daniel R. G. Price who worked on the project
When aphid demand for essential nutrients is high the transporter imports large amounts of precursor
and because of other features peculiar to aphid metabolism transporter Apglnt1 not only regulates arginine biosynthesis but all amino acid biosynthesis Wilson said.
Thus amino acid transporters play a key role in the evolutionary success of these insects. But an important question remains:
Wilson's lab may find the answer by looking at other sap-feeding insects with intracellular bacteria based on an understanding that emerged from another study from her lab. The study titled Dynamic recruitment of amino acid transporters to the insect
That study found that the presence of amino acid transporters is expanded significantly in some sap-feeding insects relative to non sap-feeding insects.
Given the extensive gene duplication of the amino acid transporter gene families that took place multiple times independently in sap-feeding insects it makes sense that gene duplication might be important for recruiting amino acid transporters to mediate
The sap-eating insects with expanded amino acid transporters come from a common ancestor. However given that the genes expanded independently in each insect sap-feeding insects likely evolved their relationships with their symbionts separately as opposed to in their common ancestor.
Add in uncertainties like climate change and volatile transportation prices and it's clear why many people think the ESR should meet more of its own food needs.
