Ouch..

I was with office folks, having chai.. I wanted to tell them a dialogue from the movie Wall-Street 2 by Michael Douglas.

So I started by saying, there is this movie Wall-Street 2, did any one of you watched?. The answer was negative. The I said "There is this guy".... "ooh I forgot his guy's name.."... "Let me see if I can recollect the name"

After some thought.. I remember this movie, Basic instincts, quite known to all. So with renewed enthu, I tried reminding them the movie..  but I couldn't recollect that name as well..  :(

So.. I thought of taking their help by narrating the line of Basic Instincts, "That movie in which that lady tries to cheat.. " I forgot the name, lie-detector..  oops. 

After gazillion of hours of struggling I got reminded of the term lie-detector... and my dear friend said Body of evidence? I said.. no. and then he said.. "Basic instincts.. and Sharon Stone". ha.. finally..!! Then I said "not that lady but the guy.." He says.. "yep. I don't remember the name of that guy.. but he is there in a lot of movies."

Finally one person came close.. so I finally.. finished my task.. "Yep that guys says.. around 40% profits from the US corporations came from financial sectors.. how do you explain that"

Wow.. relief!!!

Cancer..

Here is a primitive cancer model that quickly struck to mind.. Let me digg..

There are 'T' number of active white blood cells and there are 'c' number of cancer cells. Here goes my assumption

1. Rate of production T cells is fixed. 
2. Natural rate of death T is first order. 
3. Assume a secondary rate of death for T, second order on T and c
4. There is fixed nucleation of 'c' might be tiny. 
5. First order growth of 'c' by cell division. 
6. Second order death of 'c' by interaction with 'T'
7. and we can assume natural death of 'c' which is first order. 

With all proportionality constants. 

dT/dt = A - B*T -C*T*c

dc/dt = D + E*c - F*T*c -G*c

From the nature of the cancel cells E>>G so let us assume a constant EG = E-G which is a positive

dc/dt = D + EG*c - F*T*c

What other conditions on the co-efficients?

• C << F, just 'cas in general 'T' cells are effective in killing 'c'
• For a not cancer situation, D/c + EG < F*T
• Equilibrium white blood cells count = A/B, assuming 'c' is not there 
• Steady state 'c' cells count = D /(F*T - EG) 
• This means, T > EG/F is stable steady state. and T < EG/F is a run way system.

Note: So, by some external decease, if we take T less than EG/F, essentially we are out, assuming our immune system doesn't scale up. That means, A is fixed. One thing I did ignore is the fluctuations that are possible due to C*T*c


ps: I read some info regarding cancer when Steve Jobs died of the same. Above is the summary of the points I picked... 

Gone by..

Years gone by.. things changed, I've changed, my world changed, aspirations changed.. but confusion, you? ;)

ps: on a different note, oflate I've understood that I'm adamantly opinionated.. so closing the comments here. Not that it matters.. but.
