Population Growth00:57

Population Growth

27.8K
Population size is dynamic, increasing with birth rates and immigration, and decreasing with death rates and emigration. In ideal conditions with unlimited resources, populations can increase exponentially, which plots as a J-shaped growth rate curve of population size against time. This type of curve is characteristic of newly-introduced invasive species, or populations that have suffered catastrophic declines and are rebounding.

Principle of Virtual Work: Problem Solving

1.6K
The principle of virtual work is an essential concept in the field of mechanics and engineering. This is used to solve problems related to the equilibrium of a structure or system. It is based on the assumption that if a system is in equilibrium, the work done by all the forces during a virtual displacement is zero. This principle is applied by considering virtual displacements of the system and the corresponding work done by internal and external forces.
To apply the principle of virtual work,...

Virtual Work

1.3K
The principle of virtual work states that if a body is in static and dynamic equilibrium, then the sum of all the virtual work done by all external forces and couple moments for any given virtual displacement must be zero.
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...

Analysis of Population Pharmacokinetic Data

677
Analysis of population pharmacokinetic data involves studying the behavior of drugs within diverse populations to understand their pharmacokinetic parameters. Traditional pharmacokinetic methods typically involve collecting samples from a few individuals and estimating these parameters. While these methods are commonly used, they have limitations in capturing the variability in drug response among individuals or heterogeneous populations. Population pharmacokinetics is employed to address these...

Stratified Sampling Method01:16

Stratified Sampling Method

14.5K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
To choose a stratified sample, divide the population into groups called strata and then take a...

Virtual Work for a System of Connected Rigid Bodies

725
Virtual work is a powerful method used to solve problems involving several connected rigid bodies. When the system is in equilibrium, virtual work is zero. This allows the calculation of the resulting forces when a system undergoes a virtual displacement. When attempting to analyze such a system, first, use a free-body diagram, where an independent coordinate represents the configuration of the links, and mark its deflected position resulting from the positive virtual displacement.
Next,...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacometrics
  • Computational Biology
  • Drug Development

Background:

  • Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) models are crucial for drug development, aiding in the exploration of patient variability and prediction of therapeutic outcomes.
  • The QSP Toolbox facilitates the development of virtual populations (VPops) calibrated to diverse clinical data.
  • Current VPop calibration workflows are slowed by the iterative optimization of prevalence weights to maximize a goodness-of-fit (GOF) function, denoted as p.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a faster VPop calibration workflow for QSP models.
  • To introduce proxy goodness-of-fit (GOF) functions to streamline the optimization process.
  • To improve the efficiency of generating VPops that accurately fit clinical data.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a proxy-guided workflow utilizing proxy GOF functions.
  • Reduction of the maximization of proxy GOF functions to minimizing a convex quadratic objective function.
  • Comparison of the speed and efficacy of the proxy-guided workflow against the original p-guided workflow.

Main Results:

  • The proxy-guided workflow successfully generates VPops with a high goodness-of-fit (p-fit) without continuous maximization of p.
  • The new workflow significantly reduces the computational time required for VPop calibration.
  • Proxy-guided calibration was substantially faster than the original p-guided method.

Conclusions:

  • The proxy-guided workflow offers a substantial speed improvement for calibrating VPops in QSP model development.
  • This approach enhances the efficiency of using QSP models in drug development pipelines.
  • The method facilitates the creation of reliable VPops for exploring patient variability and predicting treatment responses.
