Applying a Rigorous Quasi-Steady State Approximation Method for Proving the Absence of Oscillations in Models of Genetic Circuits

چکیده
In this paper, we apply a rigorous quasi-steady state approximation method on a family of models describing a gene regulated by a polymer of its own protein. We study the absence of oscillations for this family of models and prove that Poincaré-Andronov-Hopf bifurcations arise if and only if the number of polymerizations is greater than 8. A result presented in a former paper at Algebraic Biology 2007 is thereby generalized. The rigorous method is illustrated over the basic enzymatic reaction.

Optimal Pareto Parametric Analysis of Two Dimensional Steady-State Heat Conduction Problems by MLPG Method
Numerical solutions obtained by the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method are presented for two dimensional steady-state heat conduction problems. The MLPG method is a truly meshless approach, and neither the nodal connectivity nor the background mesh is required for solving the initial-boundary-value problem. The penalty method is adopted to efficiently enforce the essential boundary co...
متن کاملP 145: A Review of Animal Models of Absence Epilepsy
The most common type of childhood-onset epilepsy syndrome is childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) with well-defined electro clinical features but unknown pathological basis. The incidence of absence epilepsy is about 2 and 8 out of every 100 000 children up to the age of 16, and the prevalence is 2 and 10% of children with any form of epilepsy. Children with CAE suffer from high rate of pretreatmen...
متن کاملSpice Compatible Model for Multiple Coupled Nonuniform Transmission Lines Application in Transient Analysis of VLSI Circuits
An SPICE compatible model for multiple coupled nonuniform lossless transmission lines (TL's) is presented. The method of the modeling is based on the steplines approximation of the nonuniform TLs and quasi-TEM assumptions. Using steplines approximation the system of coupled nonuniform TLs is subdivided into arbitrary large number of coupled uniform lines (steplines) with different characteristi...
متن کاملRescue of the Quasi-Steady-State Approximation in a Model for Oscillations in an Enzymatic Cascade
A three-variable model describing the oscillatory activity of a cascade of enzyme reactions is analyzed. A quasi-steady-state approximation reduces the three equations to a system of two equations which admits only a stable steady state. This apparent failure of the quasi-steadystate approximation to describe the limit-cycle oscillations observed in the full, three-variable system is analyzed i...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Dynamic Population Balance Plant Simulator for Mineral Processing Circuits
Operational variables of a mineral processing circuit are subjected to different variations. Steady-statesimulation of processes provides an estimate of their ideal stable performance whereas their dynamicsimulation predicts the effects of the variations on the processes or their subsequent processes. In thispaper, a dynamic simulator containing some of the major equipment of mineral processing...
