Examples of prediction

Figure 17.2 An example of prediction of the conformations of three CDR regions of a monoclonal antibody (top row) compared with the unrefined x-ray structure (bottom row). LI and L2 are CDR regions of the light chain, and HI is from the heavy chain. The amino acid sequences of the loop regions were modeled by comparison with the sequences of loop regions selected from a database of known antibody structures. The three-dimensional structure of two of the loop regions, LI and L2, were in good agreement with the preliminary x-ray structure, whereas HI was not. However, during later refinement of the x-ray structure errors were found in the conformations of HI, and in the refined x-ray structure this loop was found to agree with the predicted conformations. In fact, all six loop conformations were correctly predicted in this case. (From C. Chothia et al.. Science 233 755-758, 1986.)...

One of the earliest examples of predicting efficacy has come from studies of breast cancer, where anti-estrogen therapy is clearly effective in patients whose tumors express the estrogen receptor, and ineffective when no such receptors are present. However, even in this well-studied case, current consensus statements recognize an intermediate endocrine response uncertain state, where the exact boundary between endocrine responsive and endocrine response uncertain is undecided, and may well be different in different clinical settings (19). 

In the case of polyionic systems the picture becomes still more complicated. There are no examples of prediction of xs values. However, we have empirically learned that zs of the entire system is shorter than in the absence of magnetic coupling. High resolution NMR experiments are, in general, successful with magnetically coupled polyionic systems. 

A recent study has examined potential correlations between emissions of organic precursors and PCDD/F emissions.25 A large number of studies on full-scale operational plants have observed a proportional relationship between PCDD/F emissions and emissions of other trace organics such as chlorophenols and chlorobenzenes. An example of predictions based on such correlation is shown in Figure 1. 

Using literature values for the various biodegradation first-order rate constants, concentrations over space and time for all the contaminants (as well as methane, chloride, and ferrous iron) were simulated. BioRedox includes a visualization module that simplifies comparison between model predictions and field measurements for the numerous compounds of interest. While the authors give an example of predicted versus measured results at several locations on the site, no attempt is made to quantify the quality of the overall prediction. 

An example of prediction results for sulfathiazole is shown in Figure 6.6. This substance was found in SAR Base and was excluded from the SAR Base on prediction of its activity spectrum. The known (contained in SAR Base of PASS version 2007) activity spectrum includes the following activities antibacterial, antibiotic, dihydropteroate synthase inhibitor, iodide peroxidase inhibitor. In Figure 6.6 the predicted activity spectrum includes 65 of 374 pharmacological effects, 176 of 2755 molecular mechanisms, 7 of 50 side effects and toxicity, 11 of 121 metabolism terms at default Pa> Pi cutting points. All activities included in the SAR Base are predicted with Pa> Pi- The activity of as...

The methods developed in this book can be used to provide key input parameters for other methods to predict polymer properties, in addition to their use (as will be discussed in chapters 19 and 20) to provide input parameters for models of multiphase materials. Three examples of predictive methods using the computational tools developed in this book will now be given. 

In this section both simultaneous and sequential methods are discussed. In all the cases the example of predicting y (/ x 1) from X (/ x J x K) is used. It is indicated how this can be generalized to other situations such as multivariate Y or four-way X. 

The second step of computation takes into account the influence of the weaker layer on the bearing capacity of the hard layer. The computations are based on assumptions (l)-(4) using Meyerhof and Hanna s methods as described in Hanna and Meyerhof (1980) or Meyerhof and Hanna (1978), depending on the soil characteristics. Examples of prediction results for a jack-up platform operating in the Baltic Sea are presented in Figure 10.55. 

DILI is divided by type of occurrence into predictable and idiosyncratic. Predictable DILI is the most common form and follows dose-response curves and is typically present in all patients during overdose. The archetypical example of predictable DILI is that of paracetamol hepato-toxicity and is the leading cause of acute liver failure in... 

Although the assumptions of rapid adsorption and local equilibrium at the interface are justified in many situations of interest, sometimes the rates of adsorption and desorption must be considered. Equation 6.41 still applies, but the analysis must be modified. The terms adsorption barrier and desorption barrier are sometimes used when kinetic limitations exist for the respective processes. If a surface active solute diffuses between phases imder conditions where there is an appreciable desorption barrier, for example, interfacial concentration r will attain higher values than in the absence of the barrier, and interfacial tension will be lower. England and Berg (1971) and Rubin and Radke (1980) have studied such situations. Figure 6.11 shows an example of predicted interfacial tension as a fimction of time for various values of a dimensionless rate constant. The low transient interfacial tension is evident. 

An example of prediction equations for intake that may be used in conjunction with feeding standards is provided by the UK Agricultural Research Council s Technical Committee on Responses to Nutrients, which constructed a series of equations for predicting the intake of grass silage by cattle (both dairy and beef) fed on silage and concentrates. The following is an example of the equations derived for beef cattle ... 

Equations 6.59 or 6.60 with given boundary conditions can be solved for the displacement field using numerical methods such as finite element methods. Figure 6.7 gives an example of predicted deformation of an injection-molded part (Zheng et al. 1996). 

Since the model was designed for real-time optimisation, there is a need for a prediction technique. A new type of prediction method was introduced for predicting the optimised output so as to determine the maximised key terms in this model. In a predictive model the neural network unit is trained with the inputs and outputs sampled at a certain time difference that represents the prediction steps. In the following, an example of predictive retention equation is given. The retention output vector contains the data that is L steps further than the input data in the time. 

We now examine recent progress reported by Percec, Rosen and colleagues [151] that has clearly demmistrated the first working examples of predictive, Mendeleev-like nano-periodic tables. These Percec nano-periodic tables clearly demonstrate a priori predictions for the mode of [S-l]-type amphiphilic dendron self-assembly into supramolecular dendrimers with 85-90% accuracy. Quite remarkably, as proposed in the original concept [137], these self-assembly modes may be accurately predicted based on simply knowing the CNDPs (size, shape, surface chemistry, and flexibility) for the amphiphilic dendron primary structure, as will be described in the next sectimi. 

Refinements in considering separately the sub-volumes as the palisade layer and the core have allowed a unique example of predicting solubilization in the case of charged w/o systems when electrostatic effects are explicitly taken into account as the dressed model of micelles (27). This example is the only work to our knowledge for which the whole phase diagram has been explicitly calculated from osmotic pressure and free energy equilibria in co-existing phases. 

ProjectLeader allows the user to predict a wide variety of further chemical and physical properties for small molecules, including those containing metals, by developing their own QSPR models. Statistical tools provided to assist in this process include simple multiple and stepwise regressions. They can also be used to calibrate the calculated results to experimental data in order to improve the accuracy of the predictions. Examples of predicted properties include quantities such as boiling points, toxicity, antibacterial activity, acidity and basicity, vapor pressure, and water solubility.
