Poisson's Ratio01:23

Poisson's Ratio

1.2K
Poisson's ratio is a material property that indicates their stress response. It explains the connection between the elongation or compression a material undergoes in the direction of an applied force and the contraction or expansion it experiences perpendicular to that force. When a slender bar is loaded axially, it stretches in the direction of the force and contracts laterally. Poisson's ratio is the negative ratio of this lateral contraction to the axial elongation. The negative sign...

Clearance Models: Physiological Models

328
Drug clearance is a critical pharmacokinetic process involving the irreversible removal of drugs from the body through various organs over a specified time period. Physiological models are indispensable in determining organ-specific clearance, defined by the proportion of the drug eliminated per unit of time from the organ's blood volume.
The organ's clearance rate depends on the blood flow to the organ and the extraction ratio (E). The extraction ratio describes the organ's...

Poisson Probability Distribution

12.1K
A Poisson probability distribution is a discrete probability distribution. It gives the probability of a number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space if these events happen at a known average rate and independently of the time since the last event. For example, a book editor might be interested in the number of words spelled incorrectly in a particular book. It might be that, on average, there are five words spelled incorrectly in 100 pages. The interval is 100 pages.

Poisson's And Laplace's Equation

4.3K
The electric potential of the system can be calculated by relating it to the electric charge densities that give rise to the electric potential. The differential form of Gauss's law expresses the electric field's divergence in terms of the electric charge density.

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Physiological Models

279
Physiological models in pharmacokinetics are instrumental in understanding the distribution and elimination of drugs within the body. These models describe the drug concentration within target organs, influenced by factors such as drug uptake, tissue volume, and blood flow. Drug uptake is governed by the partition coefficient, which signifies the drug concentration ratio in tissue to that in the blood. The blood flow rate to a specific tissue is expressed as Qt, and the rate of change in tissue...

Physiological Pharmacokinetic Models: Assumption with Protein Binding

264
Physiological models with protein binding in pharmacokinetics offer a sophisticated approach to understanding drug disposition. These models consider drug-protein interactions, enabling them to effectively predict drug concentrations in different organs and tissues. This precision aids in accurate drug dosing, providing a significant advantage over conventional models. A key process within these models is equilibration, which ensures that drug concentrations achieve a steady state within the...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Vision Science

Background:

  • Visual identification of confusable objects is challenging.
  • Existing models lack detailed physiological underpinnings.
  • The Theory of Visual Attention provides a framework for understanding attentional processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a physiologically based nonhomogeneous Poisson counter model for visual identification.
  • To model the identification of mutually confusable and low-visibility objects.
  • To explain the effects of stimulus duration and contrast on visual identification.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a Poisson counter model integrating transient and sustained sensory response components.
  • Tested the model's predictive accuracy using a nonspeeded identification task with eight alternatives.
  • Incorporated Naka-Rushton contrast gain control to explain Bloch's law.

Main Results:

  • The model accurately predicted response distributions and the effect of stimulus duration.
  • Independent variation of Poisson counter event-rates mimicked receptive field selectivity dynamics.
  • Theoretical hazard rate functions closely matched empirical estimates.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed Poisson counter model offers a robust framework for visual identification.
  • The model successfully integrates sensory processing, attention, and response mechanisms.
  • It provides a unified explanation for phenomena like Bloch's law in visual perception.
