Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Sample preparation is an indispensable process when we perform biochemical experiments on DMFBs. There exists an optimal sample preparation method called NFM. NFM is indeed optimal when we generate only one concentration value. However, when we need to generate more than one concentration values, there is a better method called XNFM; XNFM adds extra layers to network flows of NFM to get better results. However, it is not known how many layers should be added to NFM to get optimal results. Thus, this paper proposes a method to find the minimum number of additional layers for XNFM to get optimal results. Because the method is based on an exhaustive search, it is time-consuming; we also propose a heuristic to find the necessary number of layers for XNFM. We show that our heuristics reduce the computation time of the exhaustive search by up to 99%.
