Design Example: Creating a Hydraulic Model of a Dam Spillway

980
Scaled hydraulic models of dam spillways provide a practical way to replicate and study the intricate flow dynamics of these structures. Often built to a 1:15 ratio, these models allow for observing critical water behavior, such as velocity distribution, flow patterns, and energy dissipation.

Pharmacodynamic Models: Emax Drug–Concentration Effect Model

240
The Emax drug-concentration effect model is central to pharmacodynamics in drug discovery and development. This model is predicated on the receptor occupancy theory, which posits that the effect of a drug is directly related to the number of receptors occupied by the drug and the resultant complex formation.The model describes the reversible interaction between a drug (C) and a receptor (R) to form a drug-receptor complex (RC). The kinetics of this interaction are quantified by an equation that...

Application of Linearization and Approximation

193
A drone flying through complex terrain often relies on more than one sensing method to estimate small changes in altitude. Along with direct measurements, air pressure provides a useful indirect indicator of vertical movement. Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases, and this relationship is commonly described using an exponential model. Although accurate, converting pressure measurements into altitude values requires calculations that are too complex to perform repeatedly during...

Variation: Normal Distribution, Range, and Standard Deviation

24.7K
In the field of psychology, there are several ways to organize measurements of a trait, feature, or characteristic (i.e., variables). Qualitative data, such as ethnicity, can be tabulated into a frequency count to provide information about the proportion, as well as the variety of groups in a sample or population. On the other hand, researchers can perform a wider set of calculations on quantitative data. The mean, mode, and median, for instance, are central tendency measures to identify a...

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Distributed Parameter Models01:06

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Distributed Parameter Models

333
Pharmacokinetic models are mathematical constructs that represent and predict the time course of drug concentrations in the body, providing meaningful pharmacokinetic parameters. These models are categorized into compartment, physiological, and distributed parameter models.
The distributed parameter models are specifically designed to account for variations and differences in some drug classes. This model is particularly useful for assessing regional concentrations of anticancer or...

Clearance Models: Noncompartmental Models

367
Clearance is a pharmacokinetic parameter traditionally defined by compartment models, signifying the rate at which a drug is expelled from the body. However, a noncompartmental model offers an alternative method for assessing clearance, primarily employing empirical data obtained after administering a single drug dose.
The noncompartmental approach capitalizes on extensive sampling data, correlating the volume of distribution to systemic exposure and the administered dosage. This method enables...

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Science
  • Genetics
  • Statistical Modeling

Background:

  • DNA profiling technology is highly sensitive, leading to artifactual peaks known as drop-ins from process negative controls.
  • Likelihood ratio (LR) methods are crucial for statistical evaluation of DNA profiles.
  • Continuous models, which utilize continuous peak height/area measurements, are a key approach in DNA profile analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present a data-supported statistical model specifically for drop-in peak heights.
  • To demonstrate the integration of this drop-in model into existing continuous DNA profile evaluation methods.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a statistical model tailored to the characteristics of drop-in peaks.
  • Empirical data collection and analysis to support the proposed drop-in model.
  • Incorporation of the drop-in model into a continuous statistical framework for DNA profile interpretation.

Main Results:

  • The proposed statistical model effectively characterizes drop-in peak heights.
  • Integration of the model into continuous methods allows for improved statistical evaluation of DNA profiles in the presence of drop-ins.
  • Demonstrated utility of the model through illustrative examples.

Conclusions:

  • The developed statistical model provides a robust approach to account for drop-in artifacts in DNA analysis.
  • Incorporating this model enhances the accuracy and reliability of continuous methods for DNA profile interpretation.
  • This work contributes to more precise forensic DNA evidence assessment.
