Real Life Example

Examples 2.24 and 2.25 were inspired by the assassination of the Prime Minister of the state of Israel Itzhak Rabin (1922-1995) on Saturday, November 4th, 1995. During his life, Rabin was a soldier, the Chief of Staff, participating in all Israeli wars and the greatest motivating force for peace in the Middle East. Thus, the examples deal with Life and Death as well as with Peace, War and No peace-No war situations. 

Example 2.24 assumes two states a man, designated as system, can occupy, viz.. Si = Life, S2 = Death. The two states may be expressed by the following 2x2 matrix  

Exampie 2.25 presents a three-state model for which Si = War-No war, S2 = War and S3 = Peace. The system is at some state. The matrix for this case is the following one  

(2-52) is a multi-parameter matrix which depends on time and other factors not easy to evaluate. This is because we deal with complicated states. Fig.2-20 presents results for S(0) = [0, 1, 0], i.e., the system (some country) is initially at a state of war. The following values were also assumed for the transition probabilities q = p = 0.1,r = 0.5, t = 0, u = 0.2 and v = 0.1. It is observed that after five steps the system approaches a steady state for which S(5) = [0.206, 0.091, 0.704]. The state vector indicates that the chances for peace are quite high, 70.4%, promising a bright future. 

A very interesting behavior may be obtained by varying the initial state vector S(0). It is observed that the steady state behavior is independent of S(0), where such a Markov chain, later discussed, is defined as ergodic. 

To illustrate how pharmacophore searches can be applied successfully to the discovery of novel ligands, we chose two examples from our own recent work. 

The enzyme tRNA-guanine transglycosylase (TGT) catalyzes the complete exchange of a base in tRNA [25, 26]. Upon reaction, guanine in the wobble position of tRNAs with the anticodon sequence GUN is replaced by the modified bases 

The hydrophobic probe highlights an area of the binding pocket where the bi-and tricyclic inhibitors are actually accommodated with their non-polar ring system (Fig. 8.5 d).

Life is a complicated affair otherwise none of us would have had to attend school for so long. In a similar vein, the correct application of statistics has to be learned gradually through experience and guidance. Often enough, the available data does not fit simple patterns and more detective work is required than one cares for. Usually a combination of several simple tests is required to decide a case. For this reason, a series of more complex examples was assembled. The presentation closely follows the script as the authors experienced it these are real-life examples straight from the authors fields of expertise with only a few of the more nasty or confusing twists left out. 

This book focuses on statistical data evaluation, but does so in a fashion that integrates the question—plan—experiment—result—interpretation—answer cycle by offering a multitude of real-life examples and numerical simulations to show what information can, or cannot, be extracted from a given data set. This perspective covers both the daily experience of the lab supervisor and the worries of the project manager. Only the bare minimum of theory is presented, but is extensively referenced to educational articles in easily accessible journals.

Figure 6.3. Real-life example of a tandem MS experiment in an electrospray ion trap instrument. Top panel a complex peptide mixture. Middle panel ion at 1318.9 m/z was isolated from other sample components. Note the lack of any other peaks and a very low background. Bottom panel fragmentation spectrum of the selected parent ion (1318.9 m/z), note the different scale of the m/z axis. All peaks seen in this mass spectrum are product ions that were formed due to the controlled fragmentation of the parent ion. The main peak at 1300.8 m/z corresponds to the loss of water molecule, a lower intensity parent ion at 1318.9 m/z is also seen.

Initial work on the design of structured products has been presented by, for example, Meeuse et al. 2000, Wibowo and Ng, 2001, 2002. In this chapter a real life example of a process redesign project where process synthesis techniques were applied to a structured food product, is presented. First, we position this work in the framework of integrated product and process design. Then we describe how we translated existing process synthesis techniques into a useful methodology for structured products. Then the actual case study is presented. Finally some perspectives are given. 

Consider the following real life example of a process for a specific product P . This product is an oil-in-water emulsion with a droplet size of about 2pm. The emulsion is stabilized by two different emulsifiers, El and E2 . El is a so-called small emulsifier and E2 a so-called big emulsifier. The product developer specifies the levels of the oil, El and E2 and the water phase.

After a comprehensive introduction, the basic PK/PD properties of peptides, monoclonal antibodies, antisense oligonucleotides and gene delivery vectors are reviewed. In the second part, the book covers a number of challenges and opportunities in this field such as bioanalytical methods, bioequivalence and pulmonary delivery. The text finishes with a detailed presentation of some real-life examples and case studies which should be of particular interest to the reader and integrate many of the concepts presented earlier in the text. 

While change can come from many different directions, experience has proven that change(s) within a critical compliance and quality system will have the largest impact. The following are some to which you can probably relate some real-life examples ... 

A real life example is made from 82 and 78 R=Et with the weak base Et3N. This produces some of the anion 79 R=Et and the ammonium salt protonates the anion of the TM to give 83 in excellent yield.

Finally, more such studies must be carried out on real-life examples and made available in the literature. No doubt such studies are available in the different pharmaceutical industries, but due to economic and obvious reasons, they are restricted to only in-house circulation. This is an unfortunate aspect of the economics of bioseparation of different processes. Hopefully, people in the universities, at least, will pay more attention to this aspect, and fill this critical gap in the complete analysis of bioseparation processes. 

This chapter discusses four methods of gas phase ceramic powder synthesis by flames, fiunaces, lasers, and plasmas. In each case, the reaction thermodynamics and kinetics are similar, but the reactor design is different. To account for the particle size distribution produced in a gas phase synthesis reactor, the population balance must account for nudeation, atomistic growth (also called vapor condensation) and particle—particle segregation. These gas phase reactors are real life examples of idealized plug flow reactors that are modeled by the dispersion model for plve flow. To obtain narrow size distribution ceramic powders by gas phase synthesis, dispersion must be minimized because it leads to a broadening of the particle size distribution. Finally the gas must be quickly quenched or cooled to freeze the ceramic particles, which are often liquid at the reaction temperature, and thus prevent further aggregation. 

These exponential curves are frequently found in experiments on kinetics, measuring the speed of reactions. Here is an example. (To understand the chemistry behind these figures, see Module 5 we are just using a real life example to practise plotting a graph.)... 

This article will describe the successful use of simulated annealing techniques to overcome two difficult types of massive search problems in modem X-ray crystallographic studies of large biomolecules. This in mind, a brief but sufficient overview of the current practice of biological X-ray crystallography will be first presented. Then two separate search problems will be discussed. Next, a simulated annealing solution to these problems vriU be described. Finally, the successful application of the developed methodology will be demonstrated with the help of real-life examples.

Example 2.46 is of fundamental importance and completes our real life examples. It considers the imbedded Markov chain of a single-server queuing process [4, pp.8, 89]. Queuing is encountered in every comer of our life such as queues at servers, telephone tmnk lines, traffic in public transportation - bus, trains as well as airports, queues at surgery rooms in hospitals and governmental offices, department stores, supermarkets and in a variety of industrial and service systems.
