Make your own L
This post extends the theme of Lindenmayer systems. Dynamic functionality must be enabled to use the input fields and correct syntax is required. The axiom field is a string and requires quote marks. The rule list requires a list with the curly brackets and rule list of string to string to allow the StringReplace function to work.
Once appropriate input is provided you can explore your own iterated function system output (black and white or coloured). Clicking on the graphic should allow copying and pasting if you like it. I hope there is some amusement in playing with this embedded CDF.

L-system musing
In this post the effect of changing the angle in the iterated system is shown compared with previous post.

Bayes theorem: illustrated
The following embedded CDF illustrates Bayes theorem. The example is modelling odds ratio of active versus control treatment as a log normal distribution. The blue curve is the prior distribution of the log odds, the red curve is the distribution of the evidence and the green curve is the posterior distribution of the log odds.

Symmetries of the cube
Use each slider to rotate cube around particular axis. For each slider the other axes are moved with the cube. However, when moving multiple sliders then the original axes of rotation are used. Not perfect but illustrative.
Checkboxes, adjacency graph and array plots
This post illustrates dynamic checkboxes. There are created from a square zero array. This is then used to dynamically generate a graph after interpreting the array as an adjacency matrix and als an array plot.

Cardiac output calculator
This post is another exploration of embedding CDF. The calculator does not have field validations, error messaging apart from those within Mathematica. As with other embeddings dynamic functionality must be enabled.

Cardiac output from oximetry
In this post, I aim to explore the the sensitivity of cardiac output estimation to oxygen consumption, body surface area, hemoglobin concentration and arteriovenous oxygen difference.
The oxygen consumption is in mL/min. The hemoglobin is in g/L. The arteriovenous oxygen difference is difference in fractional saturation.
The vertical line is a hemoglobin of 150 g/L. The red line is a cardiac index of 2.8 L/(min m2)
See Thermodilution for some considerations with respect to Thermodilution assessment of cardiac output and an animated gif (this was made to prior to the capacity to embed CDF's. If time permits I will convert and embed).

Gorlin: mitral
In this post the sensitivity of the Gorlin formula to changes in the variables is explored. It is artificial. Diastolic filling period and heart rate are linked. The way this was done in this CDF is illustrative and not realistic. The direction of effects is correct.
Thank you Wolfram Technical Support
This is not the most purposeful use of the CDF file format embedding. I post it only for illustrative purposes. Press the 'Enable Dynamic' button to see the interactive graphic.
Thank you very much Wolfram Support for your instruction. My key errors:
- failure to use SaveDefinitions
- putting {fullscreen:'true'} in the embedding command
