Modeling Escherichia Coli and Its Sources in an Urban Bayou with Hydrologic Simulation Program—FORTRAN

Application of Genetic Algorithms and Ant Colony Optimization for Modelling of E. coli Cultivation Process

“…Here is the place of mathematical modelling. Some of recent researches and developed models of E. coli are presented in (Covert et al, 2008;Jiang et al, 2010;Karelina et al, 2011;Opalka et al, 2011;Petersen et al, 2011;Skandamis & Nychas, 2000).…”

Metaheuristic Techniques for Optimization of anE. ColiCultivation Model

“…E. coli). Scientists build models (11,23,24,29,31) to be able to predict how fast the microbe will grow on various sources of food, as well as how its growth changes in different conditions.…”

“…GAs are highly relevant for industrial applications, because they can handle problems with nonlinear constraints, multiple objectives, and dynamic components -properties that frequently occur in real-life problems (20,25). GA have been successfully applied in a number of areas (2,5,12,31) and still find increasing acceptance; they are often employed as an alternative optimization tool to the conventional methods (20). the effectiveness and robustness of GAs have already been demonstrated in fed-batch cultivation processes (8,32,33,34,35,36,39).…”

Molecular detection and analysis of enterococcus faecalis survival in tropical environmental waters

“…Although the HSPF model has been used to simulate runoff in urbanized watersheds (Desai et al, 2011;Petersen et al, 2011), SWMM was found to perform better in simulating urban runoff as compared to HSPF (CDM, 2003). This is because urban infrastructures such as drains, detention basins, sewers and related flow controls can be modeled using SWMM (Jones et al, 2007).…”

“…HSPF and SWAT are commonly used to model the fate and transport of bacteria in urbanized watersheds and agricultural watersheds respectively. These two models have been widely used for the development of total maximum daily load (TMDL) to describe the pollutant limits that a water body can receive while still meeting the water quality standards in the United States (Benham et al, 2006;Chin et al, 2009;Petersen et al, 2011;Russo et al, 2011). In HSPF, bacteria die-off rate on the land surface is simulated by limiting the amount of accumulated bacteria, whereas in-stream die-off is modeled by a first-order decay function.…”
