动物实验的缺点英语作文英文回答:Animal testing, a controversial topic in the scientific community, involves the use of animals in experiments to gain knowledge about biological processes and potential treatments for diseases. While animal testing has contributed to significant advancements in medicine, it also presents numerous ethical and scientific drawbacks:Ethical Concerns.Pain and Suffering: Animals subjected to animaltesting often endure significant pain, distress, and discomfort. They may undergo invasive procedures, manipulation of their bodies, and exposure to toxic substances. The ethical implications of inflictingsuffering on sentient beings raise questions about the research's moral justification.Animal Welfare: Animal testing often involves housing animals in cages or laboratories, restricting their natural behaviors and social interactions. These conditions can lead to boredom, stress, and mental health issues, compromising the animals' well-being.Speciesism: Animal testing assumes that animal models provide reliable and transferable insights into human biology. However, species differences can lead to misleading or false results and the exploitation of animals for the benefit of one species.Scientific Limitations.Species Differences: Animal models cannot fully replicate human physiology, anatomy, or disease processes. Differences in genetics, metabolism, and responses to treatments limit the direct translation of animal data to human applications.Small Sample Sizes: Animal studies typically involve a limited number of animals, which can reduce the statisticalpower of the results and lead to biased conclusions. Extrapolating findings from small animal cohorts to larger human populations can be problematic.Lack of Predictive Power: Animal models often fail to predict human safety or efficacy. Many drugs or treatments that show promise in animal testing subsequently fail in clinical trials or have adverse effects in humans.Misclassification: Animal models can introduce false positives or negatives into research, leading to incorrect conclusions regarding safety or efficacy. This can hinder the development and approval of potential therapies for human diseases.Alternative Approaches.Given the ethical and scientific limitations of animal testing, there is a growing need for alternative approaches. These include:In vitro models: Cultured cells or organoids canprovide insights into cellular processes and responses to interventions.Computational modeling: Mathematical models and simulations can predict outcomes based on experimental data and biological principles.Human-based research: Clinical trials and population studies provide direct data on human biology and disease, reducing the need for animal testing.Conclusion.While animal testing has historically contributed to medical advancements, its ethical drawbacks and scientific limitations necessitate a critical reevaluation. The development and utilization of alternative approaches are essential to ensure ethical research practices, enhance the predictive power of preclinical studies, and ultimately improve the translation of research findings to human health.中文回答:动物实验的缺点。

Niching and Evolutionary Transitions in MASA.Defaweux,T.Lenaerts,S.Maes,B.Manderick, A.Now´e,K.Tuyls,P.van Remortel,K.VerbeeckComputational Modeling LabVrije Universiteit BrusselBelgiumAbstractIn this paper we address two topics whichare currently under investigation at our re-search lab.Thefirst concerns the questionof how cooperation can emerge in a systemwith antagonistic agents and how this canbe modeled through a system of Reinforce-ment Learning(RL)agents.Current prob-lems result from the fact that RL systemstry to model all agents active in the environ-ment.As a solution we are examining biolog-ical niching models and measures in order toreduce the complexity of the agent’s learningmodel.The second topic is closely relatedto thefirst since it addresses the emergenceof cooperating evolving groups:EvolutionaryTransitions.We are convinced that the gen-eral mechanisms which can be found in thebiological transition examples can be used toconstruct complex agents from simpler ones.1MAS AND ECWhen looking at current Multi-agent System(MAS) research there is a lot of discussion about how to de-fine an agent(Wooldridge1999),what the architecture of the agents will look like and how they will commu-nicate with other agents in the environment(Huhns, 1999).Although MAS are considered to deploy a col-lection of agents to solve some particular problem,the perspective remains mainly individual-based,i.e.each agent is engineered in isolation.Once the agent archi-tecture is defined,developing a MAS is difficult in the sense that the designer needs to be aware of all the parts that constitute the system and how these parts will interact.All interactions and their protocols are defined a priori.There are a lot of applications for which MAS are the right approach,but which are too complex to be en-gineered.Since other agents are acting in the envi-ronment,it becomes inherently non-stationary.This causes an inability to define all different percepts and actions in advance.Therefore the agent has to learn how to react to changes in signals and how to interact with other agents in the environment(Sen,1999). Most learning is concerned with the construction of internal models of the environment which provide the agent with a mechanism for anticipation and predic-tion.Current approaches use existing Machine Learn-ing(ML)techniques which are to some extent adapted to work in a MAS environment.In this context ques-tions like how to extend the ML algorithm to handle communication and cooperation have to be answered. We believe that answers to these questions can be found by looking at biological systems.In Evolutionary Computation(EC),models of biologi-cal systems are used to perform optimization or learn-ing tasks(Mitchell,1997).EC is used when it is diffi-cult to obtain an exact solution due to the complexity of the application.As opposed to MAS,this approach is population-based,i.e.EC evolves sets of simple in-dividuals which have to behave optimal in some en-vironmental setting.EC populations contain a large amount of simple,sometimes similar(redundant)indi-viduals instead of a few hand-crafted,highly intelligent agents.In EC there exists some god-like central control-mechanism which directs the entire evolutionary pro-cess.This mechanism is in contradiction with the au-tonomous nature of an agent in a MAS.Further,this central control mechanism is artificial in the sense that there is no biological counterpart which performs the same operation.In Biology,fitness and selection are an average result of the reproductive success of a species instead of a calculated property.Moreover,in stan-dard EC algorithms,reciprocal interactions between the individuals in the population are ignored,except for some research on relativefitness calculation in the context of coevolutionary algorithms(Paredis,1997) and niching(Mahfoud,1995)These are only three rea-sons why the existing EC model needs to be adapted when using EC in MAS.Hence,in order to study the merits of evolution in MAS we need evolutionary sys-tems which incorporate interactions and biologicalfit-ness.Such systems are similar to Complex Adaptive Systems(CAS)described in(Holland,1995)and they define a context for MAS research from an EC point of view.Our research group is interested in cooperation and transitions in CAS.Particularly we are interested in the origin and role of cooperation in an environment which is inherently competitive,i.e.every agent tries to reach its personal goals and since this happens in a common environment there will be competition if the number of resources is limited.For short,how can agents know with whom and when to cooperate? This topic is studied from a RL perspective and from an EC perspective.The answer to the question of the origin and role of cooperation is also important in modeling Evolutionary Transitions since cooperation provides the leverage for the construction of higher-level units.This topic will be covered in the second part of this abstract.2NICHING AS A KEY TOCOOPERATIONMAS are inherently decentralized,which makes the coordination of those systems usually very challeng-ing.The agents can only access limited information about each other and the overall system.They have to base their decisions on partial information regarding the state of the system and/or on some private local knowledge.In the Reinforcement Learning community this prob-lem is theoretically studied on a small scale and the Markov game model(Litmann,1994)(Hu,1999)(also called the stochastic game model)is proposed as the underlying system.A MAS has characteristics of both a Markov Decision Problem(MDP)and Game Theory (Gintis,2000).The system can be in several states as in a MDP and has multiple agents whose actions collectively influence the reward as in a game.The Markov game model1is a direct extension of the above 1The Markov Game Model is defined by a set of states S,and a collection of action sets A1,...A n(one set for every agent).The state transition function S×A1×...×A n→models for MAS.This model augments the MDP with actions that are distributed over the different agents as in the game theory model.Every step in the process, the system is in a certain state and a corresponding game has to be played.Although this model gives a natural mapping of the problem,learning in it is not trivial since the Markovian property is no longer valid. In MDPs agents learn a value for an action in a certain state,while in stochastic games values are learned for combinations of actions,and learning is thus done in a product space.Since the size of this product space grows exponentially with the number of agents,this approach is not scalable.In our view the dimensional-ity of the product space can be limited by discarding agents which have little influence on the given reward. In other words,we are interested infinding out which combinations of agents have a relevant impact on the reward function.In examples from Biology,these are the individuals that are in competition for the same resources.The concept of competing for resources is directly mappable to biological species with overlapping niches.A biological niche can be defined as the unique posi-tion occupied by a particular species,conceived both in terms of actual physical area that it inhabits and the function that it performs in the environment(Dictio-nary of Science).Species with non-overlapping niches my coexist side by side without competition,in a stable way.But two species with overlapping niches will be direct competitors.A consequence is that the weaker species eventually will go extinct.However if there is a possibility for genetic variation in resource utilization in one of the two species,divergence of resource use may emerge,and thus leaving the two species to co-exist(Mahfoud,1995).In this context it is important to introduce a way of measuring the niche overlap between agents,in order to decide whether or not to incorporate the actions of these agents in the product space.Once we know this measure,it can help an agent tofind possible and interesting cooperators.More precisely,agents with a high degree of niche overlap are likely to share re-sources and goals and for this reason cooperation can benefit them.We want to test these ideas by using the following ex-perimental setup.Suppose a model including afixed number(>1)of different resources(food)distributed over a two-dimensional grid,and a number of differ-ent agent species.Each cell can contain a quantity of P(ℜ)maps a state and an action from every agent to a probability distribution on S.Each agent has an associated reward function R i:S×A1×...×A n→ℜ.each of the different resources,and each agent species needs one specific kind of resource to survive.Agents move over the grid and each time-step they try to acquire as much as possible of their species-specific resource from the cell where they are at that mo-ment.When more than one agent is present in a cell during the same time-step,a common pool resource game(CPRG)(Gintis,2000)with multiple resources is played.Our idea is for an agent to learn from the CPRGs the agents that belong to the same niche,i.e.,the agents needing the same resources.Then only the subset of agents which belong to the same niche will be mod-eled by the agent.It is our opinion that cooperative behavior may emerge between individuals belonging to the same niche,this as a consequence of the increased knowledge agents have concerning agents sharing the same resources.In the next section we discuss another topic of research at our lab.It addresses the emergence of cooperating evolving groups,more precisely Evolutionary Transi-tions.3INTERACTIONS,TRANSITIONS AND INDIVIDUALITYComplex Adaptive Systems(CAS)are defined as sys-tems made up of large collections of active agents that are diverse both in form and capabilities(Holland, 1995).These active agents are able to adapt to their environment and can interact with the other agents in the collection.The idea is that these interactions can result in evolutionary stable groups of agents in the sense that they evolve as if they were a new en-tity in the collection.The origin of such groups has a biological metaphor which is called an Evolutionary Transition.The easiest way to explain Evolutionary Transitions is by giving a well-known biological exam-ple used by Michod to describe the dynamics of evo-lutionary transitions(Michod,1997):the transitions from molecular replicators to hypercycles,cfr.also (Eigen,1979).Imagine a well-mixed system of molecular replicators or genes.These replicators struggle to survive in an environment with a limited amount of resources,i.e. those elements which are well-designed for that envi-ronment will survive while the others will go extinct. Although this system is inherently competitive,net-works of molecular replicators can emerge through co-operative interaction if the circumstances are right.In this example,interactions occur through catalytic pro-teins or through the surfaces of the other replicators in the system.These two types of interaction allow cooperation to emerge.However,these replicators will have the tendency to defect since cooperation will result in a decrease of theirfitness and hence in their reproductive success. This decrease results from the fact that when a repli-cator is acting as an catalyst,it cannot reproduce or it looses energy required for reproduction.This leads to a lower density of that replicator which results in a de-crease of itsfitness.A decrease will not occur when the molecular replicators keep their solitary state.Hence, they have to gain more by behaving selfishly.Further-more,in a system of interacting genes,the reproduc-tive success of each gene also depends on the frequency of the other genes in the network.Even though defection seems the way to go,these net-works are able to prosper in their environment.So, how can these cooperative gene networks increase in number or how can these frequency-dependent effects be neutralized.Generally,Michod claims that natu-ral selection is not able to overcome these effects and suggests spatial structuring and kin selection as a solu-tion.Through the introduction of spatial effects,the spread of selfish replicators can be limited and con-ditions are provided to maintain genetic relatedness among the replicators.Kin selection can help to re-duce the amount of defection in a group of replicators. Even if a network emerges as a result of cooperation it always can disintegrate again because competition be-tween the individual replicators never ends.To protect the network against parasitic genes,some mechanism has to evolve to protect it against disintegration.A biological example of such a mechanism is thefixation of the location of proteins through the construction of a protective cellular membrane resulting in a cellular structure.This results in a new entity or individual at a higher level which in turn try to prosper in the environment.All biological examples of transitions use the same ab-stract processes;A collection of competing elements in which cooperation emerges and produces new selective units.It is our opinion that this process abstraction can be formulated as an algorithm for the creation of complex structures.This algorithm will be guided by the principles of conflict and cooperation inherent to the biological transition examples.To build this abstract algorithm wefirst need to cap-ture the mechanisms underlying these transitions in a model of cooperative problem solving.We divided the construction of the model in four steps:Step1:Create a system of interacting organisms which can evolve in a biological manner.Examine whether cooperation can emerge without explicit partner selection.Step2:Make the interaction between the organisms explicit in order to identify the networks of con-nected organisms.Again analyse whether coop-erating groups can emerge in this setting.Step3:Introduce Michod’s concept of group func-tionality,i.e.the reason groups are able to in-crease in number is a result of the idea that a group of agents has more functionalities than one simple agentStep4:Examine whether the cooperating groups re-main stable in the sense that they can constitutea new entity at a higher level which is capable ofdifferential survival of its own.In answer to Step1we rebuild a model suggested by N.Packard(Packard,1988)in which simple agents follow a foodgradient,consume food,reproduce and struggle to survive.For more detailed information we refer to(Packard,1988).In this model,we introduced indirect interaction in the sense that instead of allow-ing the agent to consume all resources,their consump-tion was determined through a n-player common pool resource game(Gintis,2000).The behaviour of the agent is genetically determined,i.e.an agent can be selfish or cooperative.The goal of this experiment was to examine whether it is true that cooperating agents can survive in a competitive environment.The results showed that this is the case.The difficulty in this sim-ple experiment is the observation of the groups,i.e. tofind out which agents belong to which cooperative groups.Therefore we made the interaction and partner choice explicit in Step2.The interaction with the chosen partner will remain as long as the agent is in the neigh-borhood of its partner.When the social link exists and the agent consumes food,it will give a part(here1/2) of its food to its partner.Hence it behaves in an altru-istic manner.The goal of these experiments was again to examine whether in this setup altruistic agents can survive.Again the results showed that these altruists could maintain themselves.To examine Step3,we need variation in the behavior of bugs to introduce the idea of agent and group func-tionality.To do this,we removed the gradient search from the Packard model and allowed the bugs to use individual strategies forfinding food.In our model,we added only one rule to the bug’s genotype and more-over these rules were more simple:each time a bug wants to move,the gradient is calculated and the re-sult is compared to the if-clause of the bug’s rule.If the clause is true,the bug moves accordingly otherwise it does not move at all.A bug pays both a movement and a metabolic tax.Thus,when a bug is at a location with few resources and does not move then it will die. In order to survive,bugs need to cooperate,i.e.to share their rules.An altruistic bug provides its part-ner not only with a part of its food but also with the rule it uses to survive.The partner thus gains extra rules which it can use to move to regions with higher amounts of resources.When the partner behaves self-ishly it will gain extra resources and information from the others in the short run but it might not survive in the long run.Hence,survival is not a property of a single bug anymore but of the group of cooperating bugs.For the moment,we don’t have enough results to draw reliable conclusions but we are convinced that we will obtain them in the near future.Once a group of cooperating individuals emerged in Step3that group has to be protected against defect-ing members or external parasites which reap offthe benefits of the group.This step,Step4,is not com-pleted yet,but once coordinated group movement is established we can examine the emergence of new evo-lutionary entities.In this context we are examining aggregation techniques which merge the group into a single unit.This aggregation should occur when the group remains active over a period of time,i.e.all components remain connected,eat enough to allow survival of the network and move in union.Once the abstract algorithm is completely captured we will try to embed the model into Learning Classi-fier Systems and(Evolutionary)Reinforcement Learn-ing systems and perform some experiments on typical MAS problems.ReferencesM.Eigen and P.Schuster(1979).The Hypercycle: A Principle of Natural Self-Organization,Springer-Verlag,Berlin.H.Gintis(2000).Game Theory Evolving;A problem-centered introduction to modeling strategic interaction ,Princeton University Press,Princeton,New Jersey.
