Simplifying metabolic complexity.
A complete description of the regulation of metabolism in even a single cell will be very hard to achieve, enormous and indigestible. However, there are two powerful ways to simplify the complexity. Firstly, related processes and intermediates can be grouped into a small number of modules, and the regulation of the simplified system can be studied. Secondly, control analysis can be used. With t...
متن کاملCritical review 3 A response to simplifying complexity q 4 Femke Reitsma
11 In a recent issue of Geoforum, Steven Manson (2001) 12 presented a timely review of Complexity Theory in order 13 to orient the unversed reader in a framework of Com14 plexity Theory’s key concepts. Manson begins with an 15 overview of the evolution of research in Complexity 16 Theory, appreciating its antecedents and asking a 17 number of thought provoking questions. This is fol18 lowed by ...
متن کاملSimplifying the Complexity of Machine Translation
A description of the CAT2 machine translation system is presented as an example of a model which stresses simplicity over complexity. The design of the formalism encompasses a minimum of formal constructs, yet is powerful enough to describe complex linguistic and translational phenomena. The paper presents an overview of the formalism, followed by examples of its usage in linguistic application...
متن کاملSimplifying Assessment Complexity with Many Valued Logics
Current tendencies in high education world wide include merging of several existing small and medium small educational institutions in considerably bigger entities. Such processes generate both administrative and pedagogical challenges. In this work we address a question related to how to provide better automated assessment of students’ knowledge, obtained skills, and terms understanding if it ...
متن کاملSimplifying the complexity of pipe flow.
Transitional pipe flow is modeled as a one-dimensional excitable and bistable medium. Models are presented in two variables, turbulence intensity and mean shear, that evolve according to established properties of transitional turbulence. A continuous model captures the essence of the puff-slug transition as a change from excitability to bistability. A discrete model, which additionally incorpor...
