Feasibility Analysis Upon Optimal Pollutant Degradation via Compartmental Modeling

Dynamic pathway modeling: feasibility analysis and optimal experimental design.

A major challenge in systems biology is to evaluate the feasibility of a biological research project prior to its realization. Since experiments are animals-, cost- and time-consuming, approaches allowing researchers to discriminate alternative hypotheses with a minimal set of experiments are highly desirable. Given a null hypothesis and alternative model, as well as laboratory constraints like...

Optimal Experimental Design for Modeling Battery Degradation

Accurate battery health modeling allows one to make better design decisions, enables health conscious control, and allows for feed-forward State of Health estimation. However, experiments are necessary in order to obtain and validate these models. Unfortunately, battery health experiments are costly in terms of time, person-hours, and equipment. This makes it extremely important to minimize the...

Degradation of Organic Pollutant in Waste Water via CdMoO4 Nanostructures as an Effective Photocatalyst; Ultrasound-assisted Preparation and Characterization

Sphere-like cadmium molybdate (CdMoO4) nanostructures have been synthesized by a large scale and simple sonochemical method by using Cd(Sal)2 (Sal=salicylidene) and Na2MoO4.2H2O for the first time. The effects of sonochemical irradiation time, sonochemical power, temperature, solvent, surfactant and cadmium source were considered to obtain a controlled shape. The as-prepared nanostructured cadm...
