    1968-Wagner-Aghajanian-Bing-Correlation of performance test scores with tissue concentration of lysergic acid diethylamide
    This paper offers a two compartment model of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in volunteer students and through parameter estimation models the amount of LSD in the tissue after its initial administration through the plasma.

    1-132-DigoxinElimination-ModelingScenario
    We model the concentration of digoxin eliminated from the human body at a rate proportional to the concentration. This is a ``first-order reaction'' in the language of pharmacokinetics -- the study of how drugs move in the body.

    5-020-ParacetamolAbsorption-ModelingScenario
    We offer drug absorption data on paracetamol, an analgesic pain reliever, for two different sets of patients, vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Students build a two compartment model for plasma and non-plasma (tissue) compartments of human patients.

    5-012-LipoproteinModeling-ModelingScenario
    Data from a study on the amounts of low-density-lipoprotein (LDL), form of cholesterol, in blood plasma is presented. Students build, validate, and use a compartment model of the kinetic exchange of the LDL between body tissue and blood plasma.

    1-138-InnerEarDrugDelivery-ModelingScenario
    Students examine local drug delivery to the cochlea. The delivery system is modeled as a liquid mixing problem. Students formulate the differential equation, and solve the equation using separation of variables or integrating factor.
