The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison02:57

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

56.1K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Renal Drug Clearance: Comparison Between Renal Excretion Methods01:08

Renal Drug Clearance: Comparison Between Renal Excretion Methods

620
Renal clearance is a critical parameter encompassing kidney filtration, secretion, and reabsorption processes. It is calculated using a specific equation to determine the rate at which the kidneys clear a drug.
Renal clearance is often associated with the renal glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which represents the rate at which plasma is filtered through the glomeruli in the kidney. When drug reabsorption is minimal and there is no active secretion, renal clearance is closely related to the...

What are Estimates?01:06

What are Estimates?

8.8K
It isn't easy to measure a parameter such as the mean height or the mean weight of a population. So, we draw samples from the population and calculate the mean height or mean weight of the individuals in the sample. This sample data acts as a representative measure of the population parameter. These sample statistics are known as estimates. 
The estimate for the mean of a sample is denoted by ͞x, whereas the mean of the population is designated as μ. Further, parameters such...

One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation01:24

One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation

1.2K
This lesson introduces two critical methods in pharmacokinetics, the Wagner-Nelson and Loo-Riegelman methods, used for estimating the absorption rate constant (ka) for drugs administered via non-intravenous routes. The Wagner-Nelson method relates ka to the plasma concentration derived from the slope of a semilog percent unabsorbed time plot. However, it is limited to drugs with one-compartment kinetics and can be impacted by factors like gastrointestinal motility or enzymatic degradation.

Estimation of k and VD of Aminoglycosides01:20

Estimation of k and VD of Aminoglycosides

250
Aminoglycosides are a class of antibiotics used to treat various bacterial infections. Clinicians must determine the elimination rate constant (k) and volume of distribution (VD) to optimize therapeutic efficacy and minimize toxicity. The k value represents the rate at which the drug is removed from the body, and the VD reflects the degree to which the drug distributes into body tissues. Accurately estimating these parameters allows healthcare professionals to tailor drug dosing to individual...

Multiple Comparison Tests01:13

Multiple Comparison Tests

4.5K
Multiple comparison test, abbreviated as MCT, is a post hoc analysis generally performed after comparing multiple samples with one or more tests. An MCT will help identify a significantly different sample among multiple samples or a factor among multiple factors.
It would be easy to compare two samples using a significance alpha level of 0.05. In other words, there is only one sample pair to be compared. However, it would be difficult to identify a significantly different sample if the number...

Area of Science:

  • Hydrogeology
  • Water Resource Management
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • Groundwater recharge estimation often uses multiple methods but struggles to differentiate method uncertainty from other influencing factors.
  • Understanding groundwater recharge is crucial for sustainable shallow groundwater resource development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the added value of multi-method recharge studies for hydrogeological understanding and uncertainty characterization.
  • To refine groundwater recharge estimates in a shallow aquifer in northwest Ethiopia.

Main Methods:

  • Application of nine distinct groundwater recharge estimation methods (17 variations).
  • Critical assessment of recharge values based on representation (actual, potential, minimum), scale, and method uncertainties.

Main Results:

  • Initial recharge estimates varied widely (45–814 mm/a).
  • The range for actual recharge was narrowed to approximately 280–430 mm/a.
  • Significant hydrogeological insights were gained despite potential violations of method assumptions.

Conclusions:

  • Multi-method recharge studies provide valuable hydrogeological insights beyond uncertainty quantification.
  • Even with limited data and violated assumptions, multiple methods enhance understanding of groundwater systems.
  • This approach is beneficial for assessing shallow groundwater resource development potential.
