Derive a dynamic model that can be used to calculate pill mass 1W as a function of time.

/in /by

In medical applications the chief objectives for drug delivery are: (i) to deliver the drug to the correct location in the patient’s body, and (ii) to obtain a specified drug concentration profile in the body through a controlled release of the drug over time. Drugs are often administered as pills. In order to derive a simple dynamic model of pill dissolution, assume that the rate of dissolution rd of the pill in a patient is proportional to the product of the pill surface area and the concentration driving force:
rd = kA (cs – csq) 
where csq is the concentration of the dissolved drug in the aqueous medium, Cs is the saturation value, A is the surface area of the pill, and k is the mass transfer coefficient. Because Cs >> csq, even if the pill dissolves completely, the rate of dissolution reduces to rd = kAcs.
(a) Derive a dynamic model that can be used to calculate pill mass 1W as a function of time. You can make the following simplifying assumptions:
(i) The rate of dissolution of the pill is given by rd = kAcs.
(ii) The pill can be approximated as a cylinder with radius r and height h. It can be assumed that h/r >> 1. Thus the pill surface area can be approximated as A = 2prh.
(b) For the conditions given below, how much time is required for the pill radius r to be reduced by 90% from its initial value of r0?

Do research in the field of Biomedical Engineering, need to write a researchproposal e.g. to obtain funding for your research. Write a research proposal involving the use ofbiomedical signals. This may include but is not limited to: background, aim, methods, milestones, dataanalysis, intellectual property and ethics, resources needed, researchers involved and the percentageof their time they will spend working on the project, potential benefits etc. Good project proposals areinnovative but not unrealistic, make use of methodologies which are sound, are well written anddemonstrate knowledge of the subject material and critical thinking.Word limit: 2000 words.

What liability do the other six partners in this medical practice have in connection with this lawsuit?

/in /by

A client of the CPA firm of Harston and Mendez is a medical practice of seven local doctors. One doctor has been sued for several million dollars as the result of a recent operation. Because of what appears to be this doctor’s very poor judgment, a patient died. Although that doctor was solely involved with the patient in question, the lawsuit names the entire practice as a defen- dant. Originally, four of these doctors formed this business as a general partnership. However, five years ago, the partners converted the business to a limited liability partnership based on the laws of the state in which they operate.

Read the following articles as well as any other published information that is available on part- ner and partnership liability:

Based on the facts presented in this case, answer these questions:

1. What liability do the other six partners in this medical practice have in connection with this lawsuit?

2. What factors will be important in determining the exact liability (if any) of these six doctors?
