✦ Synopsis
Elimination kinetics ofbromsulphalein (BSP) after a single injection into the circulation of rats were examined by means of a four-compartment model. BSP plasma concentrations were measured calorimetrically. A program written for the Texas Instruments TI-59 programmable calculator is presented, which will calculate the fractional blood clearance of BSP using an iteration procedure. A simple method of fitting biphasic decay curves to experimental data is also proposed.

A finite difference method is proposed to track curves whose normal velocity is given by their curvature and which meet at different types of junctions. The prototypical example is that of phase interfaces that meet at prescribed angles, although eutectic junctions and interactions through nonlocal
It is often useful to have a procedure for locating the point where a function of several variables attains its maximum value. Numerous computer programs have been developed to perform this task. However, most of these programs are not suitable for use on a desk calculator as they require more memor
