Response rates lowest

The one-hit and linearized multi-stage models usually will predict the highest response rates and the probit model the lowest (Paustenbach, 1989a 1989b). 

The fitted models In Figure 3 reflect trade-offs both in the sense that the fitted models are shaped differently from the experimental data and In the sense that the fitted model response rates, relative to the observed rates, are too large at the lowest non-zero experimental dose level and too small at the Intermediate non-zero level. Furthermore, the need to accommodate the highest experimental dose forces the fitted... 

Consider a binary or dichotomous endpoint such as the response rate in an oncology trial. Let the true response rates with the experimental and control treatments be denoted rj and r,-, respectively. Suppose that the response rate with the control treatment is known to be r = 0.20 and the lowest acceptable response rate with the experimental treatment is = 0.15. In this case, one could define the treatment effect using a variety of metrics, including the risk difference, the risk ratio, and the odds ratio. The null hypotheses and margins corresponding to these three metrics are... 

The set of logarithmic response sensitivities for all rate constants is referred to as a sensitivity spectrum. The highest absolute values of the sensitivities in the spectrum pinpoint the most important reactions in the kinetic scheme for determining the chosen set of responses. The lowest absolute values of sensitivities, however, do not necessarily identify unimportant reactions. Let... 

For the catalytic electrode mechanism, the total surface concentration of R plus O is conserved throughout the voltammetric experiment. As a consequence, the position and width of the net response are constant over entire range of values of the parameter e. Figure 2.35 shows that the net peak current increases without limit with e. This means that the maximal catalytic effect in particular experiment is obtained at lowest frequencies. Figure 2.36 illustrates the effect of the chemical reaction on the shape of the response. For log(e) < -3, the response is identical as for the simple reversible reaction (curves 1 in Fig. 2.36). Due to the effect of the chemical reaction which consumes the O species and produces the R form, the reverse component decreases and the forward component enhances correspondingly (curves 2 in Fig. 2.36). When the response is controlled exclusively by the rate of the chemical reaction, both components of the response are sigmoidal curves separated by 2i sw on the potential axes. As shown by the inset of Fig. 2.36, it is important to note that the net currents are bell-shaped curves for any observed kinetics of the chemical reaction, with readily measurable peak current and potentials, which is of practical importance in electroanalytical methods based on this electrode mecharusm. 

Adults - 10 mL (elemental iron 125 mg), may be diluted in 100 mL 0.9% sodium chloride administered by intravenous (IV) infusion over 1 hour. It may also be administered undiluted as a slow IV injection (at a rate up to 12.5 mg/min). Most patients will require a minimum cumulative dose of 1 g elemental iron administered over 8 sessions at sequential dialysis treatments to achieve a favorable hemoglobin or hematocrit response. Patients may continue to require therapy with IV iron at the lowest dose necessary to maintain the target levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit, and laboratory parameters of iron storage within acceptable limits. 

Table II includes supporting data for greater-than-additive inhibition of alfalfa apparent photosynthetic rates induced by SO2+NO2 mixtures. The enhanced effects were most marked at the lower concentrations applied, becoming less pronounced as pollutant levels were raised. At 50 pphm of each gas no synergism was evident. At this SO2 exposure concentration, sulfur dioxide appeared to regulate the observed plant responses. Significant amounts of inhibition resulted from the lowest bipollutant concentrations used (15 pphm of each gas) these concentrations were well below those required for the individual pollutants to measurably suppress apparent photosynthesis rates. At these exposure levels where no tissue necrosis occurred, the plants recovered completely within 2 hr after fumigation. The manner by which this inhibiting interaction occurred is not well understood. This pollutant combination is also known to act in a synergistic fashion to cause visible injury to plants, and further study of this mixture may be warranted.
