View more information on the DOE CSGF Program at http://www.krellinst.org/csgf Ashlee Ford Versypt Postdoctoral Researcher, Department of Chemical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology 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.

The Great Math Mystery Documentary - Decoding The Universe Through Mathematics - Documentary HD Mathematics is the research study of topics such as quantity (numbers), framework, space, and also adjustment. There is a range of views amongst mathematicians and theorists regarding the exact range as well as interpretation of maths. Mathematicians seek out patterns and also use them to formulate brand-new guessworks. Mathematicians resolve the fact or falsity of conjectures by mathematical proof. When mathematical frameworks are good versions of real phenomena, after that mathematical thinking could offer understanding or predictions regarding nature. With making use of abstraction as well as reasoning, mathematics created from counting, computation, dimension, and the systematic study of the shapes and movements of physical objects. Practical mathematics has actually been a human task for as far back as written documents exist. The research called for to solve mathematical troubles could take years or perhaps centuries of sustained questions. Rigorous disagreements initially appeared in Greek maths, most significantly in Euclid's Components. Because the pioneering job of Giuseppe Peano (1858-- 1932), David Hilbert (1862-- 1943), as well as others on dogmatic systems in the late 19th century, it has actually become normal to see mathematical research study as developing fact by rigorous reduction from suitably chosen axioms as well as interpretations. Mathematics developed at a reasonably sluggish rate until the Renaissance, when mathematical developments connecting with new scientific explorations brought about a quick rise in the rate of mathematical exploration that has actually continued to the here and now day. Galileo Galilei (1564-- 1642) claimed, "Deep space can not be read up until we have actually found out the language as well as end up being acquainted with the personalities in which it is composed. It is written in mathematical language, as well as the letters are triangles, circles and also various other geometrical numbers, without meanings it is humanly impossible to understand a solitary word. Without these, one is wandering about in a dark labyrinth." Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-- 1855) described maths as "the Queen of the Sciences". Benjamin Peirce (1809-- 1880) called maths "the science that attracts required final thoughts". [14] David Hilbert said of mathematics: "We are not speaking here of arbitrariness in any sort of sense. Mathematics is not such as a video game whose activities are established by randomly stipulated policies. Rather, it is a theoretical system possessing interior necessity that can just be so and by no means or else." Albert Einstein (1879-- 1955) explained that "as for the laws of mathematics describe fact, they are not specific; and also as far as they are particular, they do not describe reality." French mathematician Claire Voisin states "There is imaginative drive in maths, it's about activity attempting to express itself.". Mathematics is utilized throughout the globe as a necessary tool in many industries, consisting of natural science, design, medicine, finance as well as the social scientific researches. Applied mathematics, the branch of mathematics interesteded in application of mathematical expertise to other areas, motivates and takes advantage of brand-new mathematical discoveries, which has actually resulted in the growth of completely brand-new mathematical self-controls, such as data and also game theory. Maths wizzard additionally participate in pure maths, or math for its own purpose, without having any kind of application in mind. There is no clear line separating pure as well as used mathematics, and sensible applications for what began as pure mathematics are often uncovered.

Science and Islam, Jim Al-Khalili - BBC Documentary

Order: Reorder
Duration: 176:53
Updated: 27 Mar 2013

Science and Islam, Jim Al-Khalili. BBC Documentary Science and Islam is a three-part BBC documentary about the history of science in medieval Islamic civilization presented by Jim Al-Khalili. The series is accompanied by the book Science and Islam: A History written by Ehsan Masood. Episodes: Part 1: The Language of Science Part 2: The Empire of Reason Part 3: The Power of Doubt Part 1: The Language of Science: Physicist Jim Al-Khalili travels through Syria, Iran, Tunisia and Spain to tell the story of the great leap in scientific knowledge that took place in the Islamic world between the 8th and 14th centuries. Its legacy is tangible, with terms like algebra, algorithm and alkali all being Arabic in origin and at the very heart of modern science - there would be no modern mathematics or physics without algebra, no computers without algorithms and no chemistry without alkalis. For Baghdad-born Al-Khalili this is also a personal journey and on his travels he uncovers a diverse and outward-looking culture, fascinated by learning and obsessed with science. From the great mathematician Al-Khwarizmi, who did much to establish the mathematical tradition we now know as algebra, to Ibn Sina, a pioneer of early medicine whose Canon of Medicine was still in use as recently as the 19th century, he pieces together a remarkable story of the often-overlooked achievements of the early medieval Islamic scientists. Part 2: The Empire of Reason: Physicist Jim Al-Khalili travels through Syria, Iran, Tunisia and Spain to tell the story of the great leap in scientific knowledge that took place in the Islamic world between the 8th and 14th centuries. Al-Khalili travels to northern Syria to discover how, a thousand years ago, the great astronomer and mathematician Al-Biruni estimated the size of the earth to within a few hundred miles of the correct figure. He discovers how medieval Islamic scholars helped turn the magical and occult practice of alchemy into modern chemistry. In Cairo, he tells the story of the extraordinary physicist Ibn al-Haytham, who helped establish the modern science of optics and proved one of the most fundamental principles in physics - that light travels in straight lines. Prof Al-Khalili argues that these scholars are among the first people to insist that all scientific theories are backed up by careful experimental observation, bringing a rigour to science that didn't really exist before. Part 3: The Power of Doubt: Physicist Jim Al-Khalili tells the story of the great leap in scientific knowledge that took place in the Islamic world between the 8th and 14th centuries. Al-Khalili turns detective, hunting for clues that show how the scientific revolution that took place in the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe had its roots in the earlier world of medieval Islam. He travels across Iran, Syria and Egypt to discover the huge astronomical advances made by Islamic scholars through their obsession with accurate measurement and coherent and rigorous mathematics. He then visits Italy to see how those Islamic ideas permeated into the West and ultimately helped shape the works of the great European astronomer Copernicus, and investigates why science in the Islamic world appeared to go into decline after the 16th and 17th centuries, only for it to re-emerge in the present day. Al-Khalili ends his journey in the Royan Institute in the Iranian capital Tehran, looking at how science is now regarded in the Islamic world.

Medical Philology in the "Second Rome": Ancient Learning & Attack on "Traditional Chinese Medicine"

Order: Reorder
Duration: 105:04
Updated: 07 Jun 2011

The 2011 Edwin O. Reischauer Lectures Undoing/Redoing Modern Sino-Japanese Cultural and Intellectual History, Benjamin A. Elman, Princeton University From Harvard University's Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies watch Elman reintegrate the history of "traditional Chinese medicine" with other themes associated with the intellectual history of classical learning in East Asia from 1600 to 1800 mentioned in the second lecture. This was a time when classical learning enabled rising social statuses for the classically literate. Normally these fields are studied separately as "Confucianism" (儒學) or "medicine" (醫學), with little effort to integrate them thematically in light of the history of ideas or according to the cultural geography of classical learning in East Asia. Doctors, mathematicians, and philologists shared the same classical texts known in East Asia as the Confucian "classics," mathematical "classics," and medical "classics." Physicians and mathematicians throughout East Asia were as classically literate as Mandarin scholar-officials who passed civil examinations. In the late eighteenth century, in particular, Japanese scholars and physicians interested in Chinese classical studies adapted Chinese philological research techniques of paleography, etymology, and phonology. Why did newly emerging Japanese elites prioritize classical Chinese as a language of learning and focus on Chinese medical texts for medical studies? Why did "medical philology" in Japan produce a divisive cleavage between Sinophobes and Sinophiles, and what was at stake?

Medical Imaging | A Lifesaving Technology | World Documentary Films Medical imaging is the technique and process of creating visual representations of the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention. Medical imaging seeks to reveal internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease. Medical imaging also establishes a database of normal anatomy and physiology to make it possible to identify abnormalities. Although imaging of removed organs and tissues can be performed for medical reasons, such procedures are usually considered part of pathology instead of medical imaging. As a discipline and in its widest sense, it is part of biological imaging and incorporates radiology which uses the imaging technologies of X-ray radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, medical ultrasonography or ultrasound, endoscopy, elastography, tactile imaging, thermography, medical photography and nuclear medicine functional imaging techniques as positron emission tomography. Measurement and recording techniques which are not primarily designed to produce images, such as electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), electrocardiography (ECG), and others represent other technologies which produce data susceptible to representation as a parameter graph vs. time or maps which contain information about the measurement locations. In a limited comparison these technologies can be considered as forms of medical imaging in another discipline. Up until 2010, 5 billion medical imaging studies had been conducted worldwide.[1] Radiation exposure from medical imaging in 2006 made up about 50% of total ionizing radiation exposure in the United States.[2] In the clinical context, "invisible light" medical imaging is generally equated to radiology or "clinical imaging" and the medical practitioner responsible for interpreting (and sometimes acquiring) the images is a radiologist. "Visible light" medical imaging involves digital video or still pictures that can be seen without special equipment. Dermatology and wound care are two modalities that use visible light imagery. Diagnostic radiography designates the technical aspects of medical imaging and in particular the acquisition of medical images. The radiographer or radiologic technologist is usually responsible for acquiring medical images of diagnostic quality, although some radiological interventions are performed by radiologists. As a field of scientific investigation, medical imaging constitutes a sub-discipline of biomedical engineering, medical physics or medicine depending on the context: Research and development in the area of instrumentation, image acquisition (e.g. radiography), modeling and quantification are usually the preserve of biomedical engineering, medical physics, and computer science; Research into the application and interpretation of medical images is usually the preserve of radiology and the medical sub-discipline relevant to medical condition or area of medical science (neuroscience, cardiology, psychiatry, psychology, etc.) under investigation. Many of the techniques developed for medical imaging also have scientific and industrial applications.[3] Medical imaging is often perceived to designate the set of techniques that noninvasively produce images of the internal aspect of the body. In this restricted sense, medical imaging can be seen as the solution of mathematical inverse problems. This means that cause (the properties of living tissue) is inferred from effect (the observed signal). In the case of medical ultrasonography, the probe consists of ultrasonic pressure waves and echoes that go inside the tissue to show the internal structure. In the case of projectional radiography, the probe uses X-ray radiation, which is absorbed at different rates by different tissue types such as bone, muscle and fat. The term noninvasive is used to denote a procedure where no instrument is introduced into a patient's body which is the case for most imaging techniques used.
