Applications of Predictive Environmental Strain Models

Predictive analytics of environmental adaptability in multi-omic network models

Bacterial phenotypic traits and lifestyles in response to diverse environmental conditions depend on changes in the internal molecular environment. However, predicting bacterial adaptability is still difficult outside of laboratory controlled conditions. Many molecular levels can contribute to the adaptation to a changing environment: pathway structure, codon usage, metabolism. To measure adapt...

Inferential Modeling for Environmental Applications: the Predictive Emission Monitoring Approach

Energy is a key component of people’s quality of life and an essential element for “driving” economies. Nowadays, we are totally dependent on an abundant and uninterrupted supply of energy for living and working. It is a key ingredient in all sectors of modern economies But energy consumption is inseparably linked with environmental impact issues: the production, transportation, transmission an...

Predictive Spatio-temporal Models for Spatially Sparse Environmental Data

We present a family of spatio-temporal models which are geared to provide time-forward predictions in environmental applications where data is spatially sparse but temporally rich. That is measurements are made at few spatial locations (stations), but at many regular time intervals. When predictions in the time direction is the purpose of the analysis, then spatial-stationarity assumptions whic...

Performance Evaluation of Dynamic Modulus Predictive Models for Asphalt Mixtures

Dynamic modulus characterizes the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt materials and is the most important input parameter for design and rehabilitation of flexible pavements using Mechanistic–Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). Laboratory determination of dynamic modulus is very expensive and time consuming. To overcome this challenge, several predictive models were developed to determine dyn...
