Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Algorithms for Numerical Problem Solving

Mechanistic models play a crucial role in algorithms for numerical problem-solving, particularly in nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NMEM). These models aim to minimize specific objective functions by evaluating various parameter estimates, leading to the development of systematic algorithms. In some cases, linearization techniques approximate the model using linear equations.
In individual population analyses, different algorithms are employed, such as Cauchy's method, which uses a...

Introduction to Polynomial Functions

Polynomial functions are fundamental elements in algebra and calculus, defined by expressions that combine variables and constants through addition, subtraction, and multiplication, with the variable raised to nonnegative integer exponents. A general polynomial function of degree n is given byWhere an ≠ 0. The term anxn is the leading term, and an is the leading coefficient, while a0 is referred to as the constant term.Characteristics and ClassificationPolynomials are categorized by their...
Three-Compartment Open Model01:06

Three-Compartment Open Model

The three-compartment open model is a pharmacokinetic model used to describe the distribution and elimination of drugs following extravascular administration. It comprises a central compartment representing the plasma and two peripheral compartments. The highly perfused peripheral compartment represents organs and tissues with a rich blood supply, such as the liver, kidneys, and lungs. The scarcely perfused peripheral compartment represents tissues with lower blood supply, such as adipose...
Quadratic Models01:23

Quadratic Models

Quadratic models are mathematical representations used to describe relationships in which the rate of change changes at a constant rate. These models appear in a wide variety of natural and engineered systems, especially those involving motion, forces, and optimization. One common application is analyzing the vertical motion of objects influenced by gravity, such as a ball thrown into the air.In such scenarios, the object's height changes over time in a curved pattern, rising to a maximum point...
Fundamental Theorem of Algebra01:30

Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra is central to the study of polynomial equations, asserting that every non-constant polynomial with complex coefficients has at least one complex zero. This means that a polynomial of degree n ≥ 1, written as:  with an ≠ 0, has at least one solution in the complex number system. Since the set of real numbers is a subset of complex numbers, this theorem applies equally to polynomials with real coefficients.Building on this result, the Complete Factorization...
