    1-085-DrugBolus-ModelingScenario
    Given data on the concentration of a drug in the plasma of a human in mg/L at certain time intervals in hours can we determine the rate at which the drug leaves the plasma as well as the initial amount administered in a intravenous bolus of the drug?

    7-010-MultipleDoses-ModelingScenario
    Two multiple dose drug administration regimens are offered. A drug is to maintain a certain level (above a set minimum and below a set maximum) in the blood stream and one regimen involves bolus injections and another involves steady drip flow...

    5-022-ColdPill-ModelingScenario
    A model for the flow of a cold pill drug through the gastrointestinal compartment to the bloodstream compartment of a human subject is proposed. Students solve the system of differential equation model, use known parameter values, and plot solutions.

    1-131-CaffeineElimination-ModelingScenario
    We model the concentration of caffeine 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.

    1-130-AspirinAbsorption-ModelingScenario
    We model the amount of aspirin absorbed by the human body at a constant rate. This is a ``zero-order reaction'' in the language of pharmacokinetics -- the study of how drugs move in the body.

    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.

    3-027-BobbingDropping-ModelingScenario
    We present two exercises in which we ask students to model (1) falling object experiencing terminal velocity and (2) bobbing block of wood in liquid. We model the motion using Newton's Second Law of Motion and Archimedes' Principle.
