  1. Engineering complex liver models for drug screening and infectious diseases: a biomaterials and co-culture perspective

    Lin, Christine, author, Khetani, Salman R., advisor, Gustafson, Daniel, committee member, Kipper, Matthew, committee member, Pagliassotti, Michael, committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2018

    … and drug screening. Micropatterned cocultures (MPCCs) of primary human hepatocytes (PHHs) and supportive stromal cells have been shown to display high hepatic functions for long-term drug and disease studies. However, MPCCs lack liver non-parenchymal cells (NPCs) and the proper …

  2. Forward and inverse American option pricing via a complementarity approach

    Wang, FuyuanUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2014

    … program with complementarity constraints (MPCC). Two methods for solving MPCCs, an implicit programming algorithm (IMPA) and a new hybrid algorithm, are studied in this dissertation. We test both algorithms and report their numerical performance for solving MPCCs derived under the Dupire …

    Jeggels, Dean EdwardStellenbosch : Stellenbosch University2026

    … of a model predictive contouring control (MPCC) system for a differential-drive unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) to perform autonomous racing and dynamic obstacle avoidance. Two obstacle-avoidance formulations are evaluated separately under matched scenarios: (i) a cost-function (soft) penalty …

  4. Engineering in vitro models of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

    Davidson, Matthew David, author, Khetani, Salman R., advisor, Chicco, Adam J., committee member, Donahue, Seth W., committee member, Kota, Arun K., committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2017

    … Here we show that micropatterned co-cultures (MPCCs) of PHHs and stromal cells maintain glucose and lipid metabolism in hepatocytes, which suggests their utility for in vitro disease models of NAFLD. Major advances in culturing methods were developed to increase the insulin sensitivity and …

  5. Design of genetic regulatory networks

    Guo, TinghaoUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2014

    … programs with complementarity constraints (MPCCs). Since genetic regulatory networks are dynamic systems, DT is an appropriate optimization strategy, and is used to determine optimal network parameter values. An MPCC formulation is introduced that supports network structure optimization. The …

  6. Constraint qualifications and stationarity concepts for mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints

    Flegel, Michael L.Universität Würzburg

    An exhaustive discussion of constraint qualifications (CQ) and stationarity concepts for mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints (MPEC) is presented. It is demonstrated that all but the weakest CQ, Guignard CQ, are too strong for a discussion of MPECs. Therefore, MPEC variants of all the …
