The pig is an ideal model for the human digestive tract. Humans and pigs’ guts share anatomical and physiological similarities as well as microbial functionality. Pig feces samples are commonly used as proxy of microbial activity in the colon, while majority of fermentation processes occur in the cecum. In this…

Computer-assisted modelling of wastewater treatment is becoming more and more popular and is particularly useful for the design and optimization of wastewater treatment plants. Popular models such as the Activated Sludge Model No. 3 (ASM3) consist of a series of differential equations which describe biochemical reactions which occur during biological…

Data integrity is crucial, from the field measurements to the analysis. It is crucial in a research project, and even more in a humanitarian context in developing countries. The available digital tools could reduce any risk of data loss and allow the researchers to visualize near real-time information and monitor…
