Jonkers Keywords: by-products, obesity, gut microbiota “Gut bacterial fermentation of food by-products” This thesis addressed some of the challenges modern society faces. This was done by studying the use of food by-products (food processing waste) in the context of modulating the gut microbiota in obesity to obtain health benefits. In this manner, deaths associated with obesity (and T2D, CVD) would be reduced. The results showed the suitability of the tested by-products being used as functional foods for humans, and that the use of food by-products can lead to a healthier profile of the gut microbiota, especially the microbiota originating from obese individuals.

The model can also handle uncertainty about preferences of the user it represents and derives a user model that best approximates a given user preference profile, specified only partially when the negotiation begins. In order to perform experiments using the model, we discuss a proof-of-concept prototype using an actor-critic architecture that uses deep reinforcement learning to estimate the strategy template parameters.To handle user preference uncertainty, we use stochastic search to derive the user model that best approximates a given partial preference profile. Our implementation also applies multi-objective optimization and multi-criteria decision-making methods as one of the bidding tactics to generate near Pareto-optimal bids during negotiation. An extensive experimental evaluation demonstrates …
