Prоblem 2. Glucоse Trаnspоrt in Designing Artificiаl Tissue Tissue engineering utilizes synthetic scаffolds to serve as the extracellular matrix for culturing cells into tissue, which may be transplanted into a patient. Since the artificial tissue is not vascularized, transport of nutrients and oxygen to cells is limited by diffusion through the matrix. Consider a collagen scaffold, approximated as a cylinder with radius = r 1 (m), as shown in the figure below. The cylinder is submerged in a liquid solution that provides the tissue with nutrients (including glucose) and oxygen. We will analyze the transport of glucose (designated as A) into the scaffold. Assume that the solution maintains a constant concentration of glucose, , at the outer surface of the cylinder. The glucose then diffuses from the surface through the scaffold and is consumed by the metabolism of the growing tissue. The diffusivity of glucose is . The volumetric rate of consumption of glucose within the scaffold is constant and uniform, at . Assume steady state conditions and that the diffusion of glucose is only along the r-direction. From the most general partial differential equation for mass transfer, derive the ordinary differential equation (ODE) that you will solve for the system Determine the general solution of the ODE in (A) What are the boundary conditons? (Hint: Does the system have symmetry?) From the boundary conditions in (C), solve for the constants of integration in (B) (Express the constants in terms of the symbols given). What is the equation for glucose concentration as a function of position r in the cylindrical scaffold?
Fоr eаch оf the fоllowing situаtions, specify which stаtistical procedure would be appropriate and why. You may choose among any of those we covered this semester. A marketing executive plans to advertise a product in two different ways, A or B, depending on demographic information of the audience available. In order to do this efficiently, the executive needs to identify which individuals should receive ad A and which should receive ad B. Suppose that the same executive above now has several response variables quantifying how successful the advertising approaches were and is interested in testing whether there is any difference, comparing A versus B. A researcher has a set of quantitative variables, such as experience and age, recorded for a sample of employees at company. He's interested in measuring how these variables are related to the employees' starting salary and the signing bonus value. In performing some exploratory data analysis, a scientist is interested in checking the assumption of multivariate normality but is experiencing difficulties due to computational demands of working with a very large number of variables. She would like to be able to work with a smaller set of variables that represent the original set.
