Adaptive optimization of a continuous culture with the use of a bilevel forgetting factor
1School of Chemical Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907.
Abstract:
An adaptive optimization algorithm using a dynamic identification scheme with a bilevel forgetting factor (BFF) has been developed. The simulation results show superiority of this method to other methods when applied to maximize the cellular productivity of a continuous culture of baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerievisiae. Within the limited ranges of tuning parameters tested the BFF algorithm is found to be superior in terms of initial optimization speed and accuracy and reoptimization speed and accuracy when there is an external change and long term stability (removal of "blowing up" phenomena). Algorithms tested include those based on a constant forgetting factor, an adaptive variable forgetting factor (VFF) and moving window (MW) identification.

Parameters Affecting Nonlinear Elimination: Zero-Order Input, First-Order Absorption and Two-Compartment Model
When a drug is administered through a constant intravenous infusion and eliminated via nonlinear pharmacokinetics, it follows zero-order input. For example, oral drugs undergo first-order absorption upon administration and are eliminated through nonlinear pharmacokinetics.
