Using Chemical Reaction Kinetics to Predict Optimal Antibiotic Treatment Strategies
Identifying optimal dosing of antibiotics has proven challenging-some antibiotics are most effective when they are administered periodically at high doses, while others work best when minimizing concentration fluctuations. Mechanistic explanations for why antibiotics differ in their optimal dosing are lacking, limiting our ability to predict optimal therapy and leading to long and costly experi...
متن کاملChemical Reaction Kinetics: Mathematical Underpinnings
Mathematical modeling and simulation of biochemical reaction networks facilitates our understanding of metabolic and signaling processes. For closed, well-mixed reaction systems, it is straightforward to derive kinetic equations that govern the concentrations of the reactants and products. The usual way of deriving kinetic equations involves application of the principle of conservation of mass ...
متن کاملUsing CSP to Understand Complex Chemical Kinetics∗
The conventional methods of simplified kinetics modeling through the use of partial-equilibrium and quasi-steady approximations are reviewed and critiqued. The method of computational singular perturbation (CSP) is then presented with special emphasis on the interpretation of CSP data to obtain physical insights on massively complex reaction systems. A simple example is used to demonstrate how ...
متن کاملUsing iterated reasoning to predict opponent strategies
The field of multiagent decision making is extending its tools from classical game theory by embracing reinforcement learning, statistical analysis, and opponent modeling. For example, behavioral economists conclude from experimental results that people act according to levels of reasoning that form a “cognitive hierarchy” of strategies, rather than merely following the hyper-rational Nash equi...
متن کاملChemical Reaction based Optimal Reactive Power Flow
The optimal reactive power flow (ORPF) helps to effectively utilize the existing reactive power sources for minimizing the network loss. The chemical reaction optimization (CRO), inspired from the interactions of molecules in a chemical reaction to reach a low energy stable state and searches for optimal solution through reactions involving the on-wall ineffective collisions, decomposition, int...
