  • Don't forget to add the "BIOL398-04/S15" category to the end of your wiki page.

Steady State Analysis of a Model

The assignment is here!

I highly recommend starting early. Unless you're really good at math typing and graphics, you will probably need to scan some documents to upload!

Revisions to Week 4 Assignment

• Revisions to the Week 4 Assignment are due midnight PST on Thursday, February 26 (Wednesday night/Thursday morning).
• Do the following:
  1. solve q = (Vyz)/((y + K)(z + M)), for z in terms of y
  2. re-argure x = q(u-y), x = delta(v-z), z = (epsilon/delta)y + V - (epsilon/delta)
  3. z = f(y) from 1, z = g(y) from 2, f(y) = g(y)

Shared Journal Assignment

• Store your shared journal entry in the shared Class Journal Week 4 page. If this page does not exist yet, go ahead and create it (congratulations on getting in first :) )

• Add the "BIOL398-04/S15" category to the end of the wiki page (if someone has not already done so).

MATLAB

• Get together as a group and work on the following: convert the existing chemostat model to the 2-nutrient model of the assignment! You will need to
  • Save the script file and differential equation file and rename them appropriately.
  • Add the new parameters to the global statement
  • Add the new state variable into the differential equation file
  • Add the new state variable into the script through the initial condition and the calls to the differential equation solver.
  • Upload the two new files and link to them on the shared journal.

• Run your new model and upload the resulting graphs as jpegs to the shared journal.
