Analysis and IbM simulation of the stages in bacterial lag phase: basis for an updated definition
(2008-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe lag phase is the initial phase of a culture that precedes exponential growth and occurs when the conditions of the culture medium differ from the pre-inoculation conditions. It is usually defined by means of cell density ... -
Analysis of the population structure of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes
(ELSEVIER (AMSTERDAM)., 2010)
Conference lecture
Open Access -
Effect of the haematocrit layer geometry on Plasmodium falciparum static thin-layer in vitro cultures
(2008-10)
Article
Open AccessSeveral experimental trials exploring different settings have been carried out, covering haematocrit layer depths that ranged from 6 mm to 3 mm and separation between the walls of the culturing device that ranged from 7.5 ... -
Individual-based model and simulation of Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocyte in vitro cultures
(2007-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMalaria is still one of the most fatal diseases in the world. Development of an effective treatment or vaccine requires the cultivation of the parasite that causes it: Plasmodium falciparum. Several methods for in vitro ... -
Individual-based modeling of Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte infection in in vitro cultures
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2010-06-21)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessLa malària és encara avui en dia una malaltia que causa aproximadament un milió de morts a l'any a tot el món. La seva eradicació suposa un gran repte per a la humanitat i per a la comunitat científica, en particular. El ... -

Individual-based modelling: an essential tool for microbiology
(2008-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMicro-organisms play a central role in every ecosystem and in the global biomass cycle. They are strongly involved in many fields of human interest, from medicine to the food industry and waste control. Nevertheless, most ... -
Individual-based modelling of bacterial cultures to study the microscopic causes of the lag phase
(2006-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe lag phase has been widely studied for years in an effort to contribute to the improvement of food safety. Many analytical models have been built and tested by several authors. The use of Individual-based Modelling (IbM) ... -
Mathematical modelling methodologies in predictive food microbiology: a SWOT analysis
(2009-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policy -
Microbiología predictiva: una herramienta imprescindible en seguridad alimentaria
(2009-10)
Conference report
Open Access -
Optimization methods for individual-based model parameter estimation in predictive microbiology
(2009)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn the framework of microbiology, Individual-based Models are discrete models in which the main entities are microbes. Their use in simulations as ‘virtual experiments’ to predict the evolution of populations under ... -
Thermodynamic concepts in the study of microbial populations: age structure in plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells
(2011-10-31)
Article
Open AccessVariability is a hallmark of microbial systems. On the one hand, microbes are subject to environmental heterogeneity and undergo changeable conditions in their immediate surroundings. On the other hand, microbial populations ...
