Inhibition of cytochromes P450 by time-dependent inhibitors (TDI) is a major cause of clinical drug-drug interactions. It is often difficult to predict in vivo drug interactions based on in vitro TDI data. In part 1 of these manuscripts, we describe a numerical method that can directly estimate TDI parameters for a number of kinetic schemes. Datasets were simulated for Michaelis-Menten (MM) and...

The kinetic of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis over a co-precipitated Fe-Ce catalyst was investigated in a fixed bed micro reactor. Experimental conditions were varied as follow: reaction pressure 1-15bar, H¬¬¬2/CO feed ratio of 1-3 and space velocity of 3600-5400 h-1 at the temperature range of 270-310°C. 4 models according to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson (LHHW) type rate equation were der...

background: the purpose of this study was to investigate the ratio of electromyography (em g) activities of the vastus medialis obliqus (vmo) and vastus lateralis (vl) within seven angles of knee joint range of motion using isometric contraction in open kinetic chain (ok c) and closed kinetic chain (ckc). methods: the dominant knees of 44 healthy female subjects (mean age: 24.84 with range: 20-...

Attempts to obtain experimental values for the kinetic parameters of phenanthridine oxidation by guinea pig or rabbit liver aldehyde oxidase using common spectrophotometric methods have not been successful due to a lower limit of detection. In the present study, a new spectrofluorimetric assay in combination with a multivariate calibration method for enzymatic kinetic study of aldehyde oxidase ...

Under a generalized coordinate transformation with arbitrary grid velocity, the gas-kinetic BGK equation is reformulated in a moving frame of reference. Then, a unified conservative gas-kinetic scheme is developed for the viscous flow computation in the moving grid system in the Eulerian space. Due to the coupling between the grid velocity and the overall solution algorithm, the Eulerian and La...

In this work we present a non stationary domain decomposition algorithm for multiscale hydrodynamic-kinetic problems, in which the Knudsen number may span from equilibrium to highly rarefied regimes. Our approach is characterized by using the full Boltzmann equation for the kinetic regime, the Compressible Euler equations for equilibrium, with a buffer zone in which the BGK-ES equation is used ...

This paper is a continuation of earlier work [6] in which we presented an automatic domain decomposition method for the solution of gas dynamics problems which require a localized resolution of the kinetic scale. The basic idea is to couple the macroscopic hydrodynamics model and the microscopic kinetic model through a buffer zone in which both equations are solved. Discontinuities or sharp gra...

A novel model consisting of basic micro-processes has been developed on the basis of the classic diffusion theory. It is first time that the concept of exchange rate has been introduced and the growing process of surfactant-mediated epitaxial thin-film growth has been simulated with Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) technique. The results of simulation found that the exchange reaction of RLA model is a...
