Background and objective: Plant-based biofilter system has become a promising candidate for improving indoor air quality due to its eco-friendly sustainable nature. However, it remains controversial whether purification using is effective.Methods: This study used the one-group pre- post-test design analyze effects of operation plant-based on quality, students’ perception health effects, subje...

Personalized medicine is a high priority for the future of health care. The idea of tailoring an individual's wellness plan to their unique genetic code is one which we hope to realize through the use of pharmacogenomics. There have been examples of tremendous success in pharmacogenomic associations however there are many such examples in which only a small proportion of trait variance has been...

The large volume of GWAS data poses great computational challenges for analyzing genetic interactions associated with common human diseases. We propose a computational framework for characterizing epistatic interactions among large sets of genetic attributes in GWAS data. We build the human phenotype network (HPN) and focus around a disease of interest. In this study, we use the GLAUGEN glaucom...

This paper reports on the development of a mathematical model of a packed bed biofilter operating at low influent ammonia concentrations. It is initially filled with biomass-free media, the adhesion by filtration of the bacteria present in the groundwater allowing colonization of the filter. The mathematical model is intended for simulation/optimization purposes, and should describe sufficientl...
