HOME	Bioen 599 F, Autumn 2000 Bioengineering Principles of Physiology
	Assignments and Laboratories Problem sets are distributed on Monday of each week and due the following Monday (unless otherwise noted); they will be collected at the beginning of lecture.    Problem sets can also be submitted electronically by 9:30 AM to either TA (see front page for email addresses). LATE PROBLEM SETS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.  We will post on our course website answers to the problem sets shortly thereafter. Simulations with computational models are usually built into the problem sets.  We have additionally set aside the blocks of laboratory time for scheduled and supervised sessions on working with these models; we will use the computers in the T365 lab. Laboratory is scheduled on Tuesday and Friday afternoons, 1:30 to 4:30 pm in T 365.  The class is divided into groups of 16 for each day.  T365  cannot accommodate more than 16 students in groups of 4 at a time.  Laboratory reports are due one week after the lab: for the Tuesday session, reports are due in the Bioengineering office by noon on Tuesday; for the Friday session reports are due in the Bioengineering office by noon on Friday.  Reports can also be submitted electronically with the same deadlines to either TA.      Problem sets, Models and Laboratory (Lecture schedule on separate page)   Simulation work is same time and location as are Laboratories in T365   Week #, Starting date Comment Problem Set # Simulation and Model Experimental Lab 1,  25 September   1.  MatLab and basic enzyme equations Introduction  to MatLab and simulation   2,  2 October   2.  Molecular Motors Molecular mechanics   3,  9 October BMES meeting in Seattle 3.  Actomyosin Motors and ATPase (unscheduled - private work on models)   4,  16 October   4.  Regulation of Metabolism; metabolic control (unscheduled - private work on models) 1.  Enzyme Activity 5,  23 October Review conference held in Lab time and location 5.  Design and hypotheses for contractile activity Review Review 6,  30 October Mid-term exam on Monday during lecture time 5. continue; no new problem (unscheduled - private work on models) 2.  Human Muscle Mechanics 7,  6 November Veteran day holiday on Friday 6.  Membrane potential, synapse, signal transduction Membrane Potential Models   8,  13 November   7.  Control systems and mechanisms (unscheduled - private work on models) 3.  Human muscle endurance 9,  20 November Thanksgiving Thursday and Friday holiday 8.  Reflexes and locomotion Metabolic Models   10,  27 November   9.  Adaptation and Energy balance (unscheduled - private work on models) 4.  Mechanical and Metabolic energy balance 11, 4 December Review conference held in Lab time and location No problem set Review Review 12, 11 December, Final Exam Week Final Exam (UW calendarr)   8:30-10:20 a.m. Tuesday, 12 Dec.
