Hi mittyri,

❝ A question:

❝ is 0 a positive endpoint?


Nope. 0 is by definition neither positive nor negative.*

sgn(x < 0) = –1
sgn(x = 0) =   0
sgn(x > 0) = +1

Also

x = sgn(x)·|x|

Logarithms are defined only for >0.

Pharmacokinetics may be simply defined as
what the body does to the drug,
as opposed to pharmacodynamics, which may be defined as
what the drug does to the body.    Leslie Z. Benet
