Ítem Elasticidad de la demanda por medicamentos en el mercado farmacéutico privado en Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2012-11-15) Vásquez Velásquez, Johanna; Gómez Portilla, Karoll; Castaño Vélez, Elkin; Cadavid Herrera, José Vicente; Ramírez Hassan, AndrésThis investigation estimated the elasticity of the intramolecular demand between generics and brand name in pharmaceutical private market in Colombia for three pathologies: Essential Hypertension, Diabetes and hyperlipidemia, from dynamic specification of the AIDS model based on cointegration techniques. The intramolecular price elasticity estimated shows that both generic and brand name drug are inelastic and does not respond to price changes, they are luxury goods from expenditure elasticity results and seems to exist intramolecular substitutability because of the coefficient sign in cross-price elasticity.Ítem Finite element modeling of micropolar-based phononic crystals(Elsevier BV, 2019-11-11) Guarín-Zapata N.; Gomez J.; Valencia C.; Dargush G.F.; Hadjesfandiari A.R.; Mecánica AplicadaThe performance of a Cosserat/micropolar solid as a numerical vehicle to represent dispersive media is explored. The study is conducted using the finite element method with emphasis on Hermiticity, positive definiteness, principle of virtual work and Bloch–Floquet boundary conditions. The periodic boundary conditions are given for both translational and rotational degrees of freedom and for the associated force- and couple-traction vectors. Results in terms of band structures for different material cells and mechanical parameters are provided. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.Ítem Material properties of mandibular cortical bone in the American alligator, Alligator mississippiensis(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2010-03-01) Zapata, Uriel; Metzger, Keith; Wang, Qian; Elsey, Ruth M.; Ross, Callum F.; Dechow, Paul C.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Bioingeniería GIB (CES – EAFIT)This study reports the elastic material properties of cortical bone in the mandible of juvenile Alligator mississippiensis obtained by using an ultrasonic wave technique. The elastic modulus, the shear modulus, and Poisson's ratio were measured on 42 cylindrical Alligator bone specimens obtained from the lingual and facial surfaces of 4 fresh Alligator mandibles. The data suggest that the elastic properties of alligator mandibular cortical bone are similar to those found in mammals and are orthotropic. The properties most resemble those found in the cortex of mammalian postcranial long bones where the bone is most stiff in one direction and much less stiff in the two remaining orthogonal directions. This is different from cortical bone found in the mandibles of humans and some monkeys, where the bone has greatest stiffness in one direction, much less stiffness in another direction, and an intermediate amount in the third orthogonal direction. This difference suggests a relationship between levels of orthotropy and bending stress. The comparability of these elastic moduli to those of other vertebrates suggest that the high bone strain magnitudes recorded from the alligator mandible in vivo are not attributable to a lower stiffness of alligator mandibular bone. © 2009 Elsevier Inc.Ítem Material properties of the skull layers of the primate parietal bone: A single-subject study(Public Library of Science, 2020-01-01) Zapata, U.; Wang, Q.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Bioingeniería GIB (CES – EAFIT)The outer cortical table of the parietal bone has been commonly used as a calvarial bone graft site for the craniofacial reconstruction. However, little is known about how removing the outer table may affect the function and structure of the inner table, and how the knowledge of the biomechanics and material properties of cortical bones will help the calvarial graft to better integrate into the biological and mechanical functions of its surrounding native tissues. In this study, it was hypothesized that there were significant differences in both density and material properties between inner and outer cortical plates in cranial bones. Twelve cylindrical specimens, including inner-outer layers, of cortical parietal bone of a female baboon were collected. Cortical thicknesses and densities were measured, and elastic properties were assessed using an ultrasonic technique. Results demonstrated remarkable difference in both thickness (t = 8.248, p .0.05) and density (t = 4.926, p.0.05) between inner and outer cortical paired samples. Orthotropic characteristics of the cortical plates were detected as well, these findings suggest that there are differences in biomechanical properties between two surfaces of cranial bones at both tissue and organ levels. How these differences are linked to the stress environments of the inner and outer cranial cortical layers awaits further studies. Further study will greatly enhance our ability to address questions derived from both morphological and craniofacial medicine fields about the development and biomechanics of craniofacial skeletons. © 2020 Zapata, Wang.Ítem Material properties of the skull layers of the primate parietal bone: A single-subject study(Public Library of Science, 2020-01-01) Zapata, U.; Wang, Q.; Zapata, U.; Wang, Q.; Universidad EAFIT.
