    COX-2 inhibitors are drugs used to treat inflammation. An example of a COX-2 inhibitor would be Celebrex. They are named COX-2 inhibitors because they inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) which is the enzyme responsible for inflammation. COX-2 inhibitors only affect inflammation while COX-1 would affect both inflammation and gastric acids in the stomach. COX-1 could lead to stomach issues with prolonged use.…

    Clopidogrel Case Study

    • 208 Words
    • 1 Page

    Clopidogrel is a thienopyridine prodrug that requires hepatic biotransformation to form an active metabolite that selectively and irreversibly inhibits the purinergic P2RY12 receptor, and thereby platelet aggregation, for the platelet's life span (~10 days). Only 15% of the prodrug is available for transformation to the active agent; the other 85% is hydrolyzed by esterases to inactive forms. Conversion of clopidogrel to its active metabolite requires two sequential oxidative steps involving several CYP450 enzymes (e.g., CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and…

    Woodward died from a heart attack on July 8, 1979 but not before teaching generations of chemists the fine art of organic synthesis. At the time of his death, Woodward was working on the synthesis of erythromycin, an antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections, such as respiratory tract infections, middle ear infections, and skin infections. During his tenure, Professor Woodward trained more than two hundred talented PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, many of whom later went on to distinguished careers. His work is undoubtedly a cornerstone of modern organic chemistry and continues to be used for the synthesis of…

    Artificial neural networks (ANNs) can be easily applied to short-term load forecasting (STLF) models for electric power distribution applications. However, they are not typically used in medium and long term load forecasting (MLTLF) electric power models because of the difficulties associated with collecting and processing the necessary data. Virtual instrument (VI) techniques can be applied to electric power load forecasting but this is rarely reported in the literature. In this paper, we investigate the modelling and design of a VI for short, medium and long term load forecasting using ANNs. Three ANN models were built for STLF of electric power. These networks were trained using historical load data and also considering weather data which is known to have a significant affect of the use of electric power (such as wind speed, precipitation, atmospheric pressure, temperature and humidity). In order to do this a V-shape temperature processing model is proposed. With regards MLTLF, a model was developed using radial basis function neural networks (RBFNN). Results indicate that the forecasting model based on the RBFNN has a high accuracy and stability. Finally, a virtual load forecaster which integrates…

    The paper presents a systematic investigation of the dielectric charging and discharging process in silicon nitride thin films for RF-MEMS capacitive switches. The SiN films were deposited with high frequency (HF) and low frequency (LF) PECVD method and with different thicknesses. Metal–Insulator–Metal capacitors have been chosen as test structures while the Charge/Discharge Current Transient method has been used to monitor the current transients. The investigation reveals that in LF material the stored charge increases with the film thickness while in HF one it is not affected by the film thickness. The dependence of stored charge on electric field intensity was found to follow a Poole–Frenkel like law. Finally, both the relaxation time and the stored charge were found to increase with the electric field intensity. Ó 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.…
