Click on 'MPR' to learn
about multivariate polynomial regression, a powerful empirical modeling
technique for nonlinear data or time-series analysis which can outperform
artificial neural networks.
I recently co-authored a book with Jim Alleman of
Iowa State and Peter Strom of Rutgers, entitled "Environmental
Biology for Engineers and Scientists". Click on the title to view the
outline. You can also “look inside” on Amazon.com.
Click on 'ESIM' to
download software for control and simulation of activated sludge plants. Four
programs can be downloaded, including a full dynamic activated sludge
simulator, programs for computing the Dynamic Sludge Age (DSA) parameter, a
program to compute solids distribution and waste rate in step-feed processes,
and a program to simulate gravity thickening.
Click on 'METALS' to
download spreadsheet programs to compute aqueous solubility of lead, copper,
iron, calcium and magnesium, as they depend upon pH, alkalinity, and TDS.
