This paper reports a computational study of model-based multi-objective optimization in the setting of microbial ecology, using agent-based models. This modeling framework is well-suited to the field, but is not amenable to standard control-theoretic approaches. Furthermore, due to computational complexity, simulation-based optimization approaches are often challenging to implement. This paper presents the results of an approach that combines control-dependent coarse-graining with Pareto optimization, applied to two models of multi-species bacterial biofilms. It shows that this approach can be successful for models whose computational complexity prevents effective simulation-based optimization.</p>","PeriodicalId":37222,"journal":{"name":"Letters in Biomathematics","volume":"8 1","pages":"167-178"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9802647/pdf/nihms-1856101.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10476536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One step towards this goal is to develop methods for changing the state of a cell into a desirable state. We propose an efficient method that determines combinations of network perturbations to direct the system towards a predefined state. The method requires a set of control actions such as the silencing of a gene or the disruption of the interaction between two genes. An optimal control policy defined as the best intervention at each state of the system can be obtained using existing methods. However, these algorithms are computationally prohibitive for models with tens of nodes. Our method generates control actions that approximates the optimal control policy with high probability with a computational efficiency that does not depend on the size of the state space.

Improper extermination of cockroaches and their associated allergens significantly increases the occurrence of atopic asthma, a type of asthma stemming from exposure to allergens. To date, dynamical studies of cockroach infestations and their effects on atopic asthma have not been examined. Here we develop a novel mathematical model, with households as the model unit, to study the dynamics of cockroach infestations within a neighbourhood and how they impact the prevalence of asthma. The focus of this study is to evaluate the impact of extermination and removal of allergens in a household containing an individual with recurrent atopic asthma. Through analysing our model, the basic reproduction number for cockroach infestations was calculated and we were able to determine conditions under which cockroaches and asthma can be eliminated from a community containing infested houses.

Unfortunately, publicly available data are rare and many of these outbreaks are relatively small, confounding traditional data-fitting techniques such as least-squares. Using data from three outbreaks during the 2015 and 2017 flu seasons at Trinity College, we fit several SIR-type stochastic models by approximating the likelihood of each model. We find that stochasticity is a key driver in determining the size of the outbreak, and that it strongly depends on the amount of time between the start of the outbreak and the next school holiday. Our results indicate that in order to prevent or limit the size of an outbreak, school closure is likely to be more effective than increasing the vaccination rate. As influenza is a leading cause of negative academic outcomes, these results offer important guidance for school administrators.","PeriodicalId":37222,"journal":{"name":"Letters in Biomathematics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23737867.2019.1618744","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43857377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
