Mathematical Modeling of Pharmaceuticals:Predictive Design for Better Medicines-Ashlee Ford Versypt
View more information on the DOE CSGF Program at http://www.krellinst.org/csgf Smart designs of drug molecules and pharmaceutical formulations can target treatments to specific tissues, reduce side effects, and improve patient quality of care. Computational models for evaluating pharmaceutical formulations can narrow the range of experiments needed to identify successful designs by predicting performance, thus reducing development time and driving down costs. Models coupled with sophisticated process control strategies allow for careful manufacturing monitoring to reduce materials and energy waste and adhere to quality standards. I will overview mathematical modeling efforts in several pharmaceutical domains and highlight work related to predicting drug release from controlled-release formulations that administer medicine over extended periods with a single dose. I will show how coupled, nonlinear partial differential equations can be used to capture the complex dynamic interactions between simultaneous chemical reactions and mass transfer. I will describe mathematical techniques that can reduce the system size from thousands of equations to just a few while still resolving biodegradation of the pharmaceutical formulation that strongly influences drug release dynamics. These techniques can help design improved controlled-release formulations.- published: 21 Aug 2013

Road Back to the Frozen Four (69 minutes)
History
[edit]Partridge and his academy
The university was founded in 1819 at Norwich by military educator and former superintendent of West Point, Captain Alden B. Partridge. Captain Partridge believed in the "American System of Education," a traditional liberal arts curriculum with instruction in civil engineering and military science. After leaving West Point because of congressional disapproval of his system, he returned to his native state of Vermont to create the American Literary, Scientific and Military Academy. Captain Partridge, in founding his academy, rebelled against the reforms of Sylvanus Thayer to prevent the rise of what he saw as the greatest threat to the security of the young republic: a professional officer class. He believed that a well-trained militia was an urgent necessity and developed the American system around that idea. His academy became the inspiration for a number of military colleges throughout the nation, including both the Virginia Military Institute and The Citadel, and later the land grant colleges created through the Morrill Act of 1862.[4]
Partridge's educational beliefs were considered radical at the time, and this led to his conflicting views with the federal government while he was the superintendent of West Point. Upon creation of his own school, he immediately incorporated classes of agriculture and modern languages in addition to the sciences, liberal arts, and various military subjects. Field exercises, for which Partridge borrowed cannon and muskets from the federal and state governments, supplemented classroom instruction and added an element of realism to the college’s program of well-rounded military education.
Partridge founded six other military institutions during his quest to reform the fledgling United States military. They were the Virginia Literary, Scientific and Military Academy at Portsmouth, Virginia (1839–1846), Pennsylvania Literary, Scientific, and Military Academy at Bristol, Pennsylvania (1842–1845), Pennsylvania Military Institute at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (1845–1848), Wilmington Literary, Scientific and Military Academy at Wilmington, Delaware (1846–1848), the Scientific and Military Collegiate Institute at Reading, Pennsylvania (1850–1854), Gymnasium and Military Institute at Pembroke, New Hampshire (1850–1853) and the National Scientific and Military Academy at Brandywine Springs, Delaware (1853).[5]
[edit]Fire and hardship: Norwich in the 19th century
In 1825 the academy moved to Middletown, Connecticut, to provide better naval training to the school's growing corps of cadets. In 1829, the state of Connecticut declined to grant Captain Partridge a charter and he moved the school back to Norwich (the Middletown campus became Wesleyan University in 1831). Beginning in 1826, the college offered the first program of courses in civil engineering in the US. In 1834 Vermont granted a charter and recognized the institution as Norwich University. During the 1856 academic year, the first chapter of the Theta Chi Fraternity was founded by cadets Frederick Norton Freeman and Arthur Chase. With the beginning of the Civil War in 1861, Norwich cadets served as instructors of the state militias throughout the Northeast and the entire class of 1862 enlisted upon its graduation. Norwich turned out hundreds of officers and soldiers who served with the federal armies in the American Civil War, including four recipients of the Medal of Honor. One graduate led a corps, seven more headed divisions, 21 commanded brigades, 38 led regiments, and various alumni served in 131 different regimental organizations. In addition, these men were eyewitnesses to some of the war's most dramatic events, including the bloodiest day of the conflict at Antietam, the attack up Marye's Heights at Fredericksburg, and the repulse of Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg. Seven hundred and fifty Norwich men served in the Civil War, of whom sixty fought for the Confederacy.[6] Because of the university's participation in the struggle, the number of students dwindled to seven in the class of 1864 alone.
The Confederate raid on St. Albans, Vermont precipitated fear that Newport, Vermont was an imminent target. The corps quickly boarded an express train for Newport, the same day, October 19, 1864, to the great relief of the inhabitants.
After a catastrophic fire in 1866 which devastated the entire campus, the town of Northfield welcomed the struggling school. The Civil War, the fire, and the uncertainty regarding the continuation of the University seriously lowered the attendance, and the school opened in the fall of 1866 with only 19 students. The 1870s and 1880s saw many financially turbulent times for the institution and the renaming of the school to Lewis College in 1880. In 1881 the student body was reduced to only a dozen men. Later, by 1884, the Vermont Legislature had the name of the school changed back to Norwich. In 1898 the university was designated as the Military

Simon Singh: 'Trick or Treatment, Alternative Medicine on Trial'
Simon is an author and journalist specialising in science and mathematics. He is the author of Big Bang, a history of cosmology, Fermat’s Last Theorem– the first mathematical book to be a UK No.1 bestseller, and The Code Book, a history of codes and code breaking from Ancient Egypt to the Internet.
In this provocative talk Simon describes how he went down the rabbit hole into the murky world of libel laws in the UK after writing an article on alternative medicine. The talk covers the dangers of overdosing on homeopathic sleeping pills (side effects may involve staying awake!) all the way to the importance of and dangers to free speech in journalism and science.

Moses Atwood
Moses Atwood is a performer.
He sits in the chair with his lap steel and bounces from after-the-snow-falls quiet to middle-of-the-blizzard roars. He chats and rambles on stage. He's gregarious, open. He plays a soft guitar and contrasts that with a powerful tenor.
But he's not Moses Atwood.
Moses Atwood is dead and buried in Georgetown, Massachusetts. He was, in the 1880s, a household name as a maker of patent medicines. You could buy "Moses Atwood's Jaundice Bitters" all over the eastern seaboard.
If a patent medicine (like Simpson & Son's Revitalizing Tonic) was pushed as "bitters," that usually meant it was little more than cheap hooch mixed with bitters to avoid the alcohol tax.
Atwood's bitters were taken to the Supreme Court over trademark infringement. Atwood released his recipe (booze and bitters) to a number of different firms. "Nathan Wood's Jaundice Bitters" was sold in Portland, Maine and is mentioned in the Supreme Court case. In the end, the plaintiff lost as the recipe had been legitimately sold, or something.
Check out the Supreme Court Case in original, olde timey print or read about Moses Atwood's Jaundice Bitters for free on Google Books.
Atwood was also among the nation's first photographers, documenting his hometown of Georgetown, MA on daguerrotype.
Who, then, is our Moses Atwood? I've been listening to him for years and was shocked when I heard his real name. I'm not sure why, exactly. I'd always assumed that Moses was a stage name, but I'd never guessed Atwood would've been.
So when I heard his voicemail say, "You've reached Matthew Chase, leave me a message. And if you're looking for Moses Atwood leave me a message. And if you're confused... don't be," I was a little surprised.
And then he told me about the patent medicines and whatnot and it all made sense, I suppose. His music is temporally dissonant. His simple, direct lyrics and fine plucking and strumming harken to some Antebellum plantation. It's a good backdrop for a man in a white suit with a straw hat and red suspenders hawking panaceas for whatever it may be that ails you.
Also, please raise your hand if you think Moses' next album should be called "Jaundice Bitters."
So it makes sense, I suppose, that Mr. Chase took that name. And it makes sense that he keeps flocking South - painful though it may be.
Moses just spent our short winter here in Maine. He is heading back down South, Asheville way, to study... of all things... the psychology of performance. Which also makes sense. He has taken on a whole new persona. In some places it has replaced his actual personality. Many do not know he is Matthew Chase. For years, I knew of him only as Moses Atwood. I was introduced to him that way, in fact. He answers to it.
So it fits, then, that he's going back to school to look at performance and psychology and to see where those fit together.
Shooting Moses was an interesting experience all around. He is the first artist we've shot who didn't have a specific location to shoot. We invited him over to the lofty Dog and Pony Studios on Marshall Street and set him up by the window in our attic.
Also worthy of note: I think we spent more time chatting before the shoot with Moses than with any other artist. By an order of magnitude. Generally, our shoots involve a little chit-chat while we set up. Moses showed up, though, and we all had coffee and water and talked about the downfall of Detroit reflecting the downfall of America.
It goes like this: Moses, or Matthew, I'm not really sure which, had seen a program on PBS called "Blueprints of a Nation." In which, they profile the rise and fall of Detroit. How abundant resources near a large source of water led to a quick build up. How Detroit was a magnet for rails which led to an advanced rail system in the city. How the rail system led to a more business friendly environment, allowed for the building of a highway to cut through the thick inner city. How the highway allowed people to pass through Detroit and how Detroit bled out through the highway and the cars it built with all its resources.
And how America is modeled after Detroit.
That led to, of course, a conversation about zombies and what to do in case of a zombie apocalypse.
Then we got to shooting. He talked about listening to a lot of Randy Newman lately. Moses is intrigued by how easily and readily Newman writes songs about places. Moses wants to do a song about Detroit.
He borrowed a guitar he never used, favoring the infinite tones of his steely dobro. He apologized for his nasal cold but it adds a certain roughness to his voice. It's a roughness that suits his music. A roughness of campfires and fighting. He sings about a place here, about California, Manifest Destiny. About going West - Moses always sings about somewhere else and Matthew is always drawn South.
Chase talks about living various places around the country. Phoenix and Asheville, mostly. Phoenix is miserable, apparently. Hard packed heat sta
