Automated chemistry platforms hold the potential to enable large-scale organic synthesis campaigns, such as producing a library of compounds for biological evaluation. The efficiency of such platforms will depend on the schedule according to which the synthesis operations are executed. In this work, we study the…

Reconstructing unobserved ancestral states of a phylogenetic tree provides insight into the history of evolving systems and is one of the fundamental problems in phylogenetics. For a fixed phylogenetic tree, the most parsimonious ancestral reconstruction – a solution to the small parsimony problem – can be efficiently…

Experimental design plays an important role in efficiently acquiring informative data for system characterization and deriving robust conclusions under resource limitations. Recent advancements in high-throughput experimentation coupled with machine learning have notably improved experimental procedures. While Bayesian…

Genome-scale metabolic modeling is a powerful framework for predicting metabolic phenotypes of any organism with an annotated genome. For two decades, this framework has been used for rational design of microbial cell factories. In the last decade, the range of applications has exploded, and new frontiers have emerged…

Since the introduction of metabolic models and flux balance analysis (FBA) in systems biology, several attempts have been made to supplement these formulations with expression information to form metabolic and expression models (ME-models). However, directly accounting for enzyme and mRNA production in the mathematical…

Gene knockout has been used to improve the conversion ratio of strains for some chemical products. Based on mixed integer bi-level linear programming (MIBLP) and cell network models, there have been several algorithms to predict the target for deletion to improve the productivity of chemicals. At present, the cell…

Polyhedral models of metabolic networks are computationally tractable and can predict some cellular functions. A longstanding challenge is incorporating metabolites without losing tractability. In this paper, we do so using a new second-order cone representation of the Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The resulting model…

We present a vector-based method to balance chemical reactions. The algorithm builds candidates in a deterministic way, removes duplicates, and always prints coefficients in the lowest whole-number form. For redox cases, electrons and protons/hydroxide are treated explicitly, so both mass and charge are balanced. We…

Solving optimization problems, especially for nonlinear and constrained systems, is a challenge. Decades of specialized algorithms have been developed for general and special cases of root finding, minimization (including constraints), for parameter estimation, and mapping connected spaces. These approaches typically…

Optimal subset selection is an important task that has numerous algorithms designed for it and has many application areas. STPGA contains a special genetic algorithm supplemented with a tabu memory property (that keeps track of previously tried solutions and their fitness for a number of iterations), and with a…

Background: Pharmaceutical batch scheduling in multi-reactor configurations presents complex optimization challenges under operational uncertainty, yet limited research addresses how parallel processing capacity affects heuristic performance and predictive modeling. Objectives: This study investigated scheduling…

In the last decade the use of mixed models has become a pivotal part in the implementation of genome-assisted prediction in plant and animal breeding programs. Exploiting the use genetic correlation among traits through multivariate predictions has been proposed in recent years as a way to boost prediction accuracy and…

A mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) formulation for symbolic regression was proposed to identify physical models from noisy experimental data. The formulation was tested using numerical models and was found to be more efficient than the previous literature example with respect to the number of predictor…

In this work we present a new approach that we use to simulate and optimize multiple dividing wall columns at the same time. Instead of considering all model equations as constraints and all process variables as optimization variables in a large and highly nonlinear optimization problem we only incorporate a subset of…
