Question by rcazac: What is half-life in the context of medication for pregnant women?
I have the following sentence

“Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, must use effective contraception during the study and for 5 days (5 half-lives) after treatment”

What is “half life” in this context? Is there a synonym for it?

Best answer:

Answer by Big Daddy
If you put a quantity of a substance in the body at one time, it is not all removed at one time. The half-life refers to the time that passes before half of the substance has been removed (metabolized, excreted, deactivated, etc.) It is not related (other than the name) to radioactivity or other exponential processes that use the same term.

Importantly, you cannot model the quantity at a given time by using the exponential curves appropriate for radioactive decay.

Question by M: What dictates how books are displayed at bookstores?
I’m told large chain bookstores like “Borders” and “Barnes and Nobles” are given “programs” that dictate what books are displayed face-out, which are not, and the structure of various displays… Who or what decides which books get the preferential treatment of being displayed face-out rather than spine-out? Exposure makes a big difference in people’s decisions to buy — do some publishers pay for better exposure, or on what are the programs/decisions to display certain books face-out based?

Best answer:

Answer by The Man with No Name
Big publishers absolutely pay to have their books for a time, up front, faced and practically smashed in your face when you walk in. Usually though, big stores like Books A Million will put all new releases on a table together for about a week. At least every writer’s book is equal in exposure on Amazon…
