Phytocare on Tuesday

First thing in the morning was a briefing where each of the four groups presented their results. Then group work continued until we talked with Dick, the company representative to whom the groups reported and asked questions. The groups are roughly working on:

1) Ad hoc ODE model with some numbers from reality,

2) Diffusion-advection PDE model partly ad hoc, partly kinetics from literature

3) Literature search for data giving form of reaction rates in terms of relevant quantities.

4) Combining ODE models from literature and steady state analysis.

In the discussion with Dick it turns out that he wants also to have recepies how to fit the parameters/rates to data once they start doing the experiments. Let's see where it all takes us!
