Modelling the SOS Response by Semi - Stochastic Simulation ∗

چکیده
The SOS (save our soul) response induced by DNA damage in bacteria E coli has raised a great interests in biophysics and has been extensively studied. Previously we have developed a stochastic simulation model to explain the oscillatory-like modulation of SOS gene expression observed in experiment. Here we present an improved semi-stochastic model which has higher simulation efficiency, taking into account the updated knowledge about SOS response. The improved model suggests that frequency of the modulation is controlled by the negative feedback in the system. DNA polymerase V, the key enzyme for error-prone translesion synthesis during SOS response, plays a major role in closing up the negative feedback. It is also indicated that the correlation between the modulation and cellular growth observed in experiment is due to DNA damage induced slowing down of transcription and translation.

Stochastic Unit Commitment in the Presence of Demand Response Program under Uncertainties
In this paper, impacts of various uncertainties such as random outages of generating units and transmission lines, forecasting errors of load demand and wind power, in the presence of Demand response (DR) programs on power generation scheduling are studied. The problem is modelled in the form of a two-stage stochastic unit commitment (UC) which by solving it, the optimal solutions of UC as well...
متن کاملComparative Study of Random Matrices Capability in Uncertainty Detection of Pier’s Dynamics
Because of random nature of many dependent variables in coastal engineering, treatment of effective parameters is generally associated with uncertainty. Numerical models are often used for dynamic analysis of complex structures, including mechanical systems. Furthermore, deterministic models are not sufficient for exact anticipation of structure’s dynamic response, but probabilistic models...
متن کاملUsing Simulation for Systems of Systems Hazard Analysis
For any safety-critical system, thorough and complete hazard analysis must be performed if the system is to be acceptably safe to operate. For the emerging class of systems known as Systems of Systems (SoS), however, performing hazard analysis is extremely difficult because of the complexity of SoS and the environments they inhabit. Traditional exploratory hazard analysis techniques commonly re...
متن کاملStochastic Congestion Alleviation with a Trade-off between Demand Response Resources and Load Shedding
Under the smart grid environments, Demand Response Resources (DRRs) as power system resources can effectively participate in and improve performance of electric systems. Congestion management is one of the technical challenges in which DRRs can play a significant role. Previously, congestion management is applied without considering the power system uncertainties. Therefore, a stochastic conges...
متن کاملInvited Response to Computer Journal Lecture by Prof. Jane Hillston
The introduction of stochastic process algebra (SPA) has had a profound impact on the field of performance modelling. Hillston’s PEPA has been at the forefront of this development [1]. There are a number of reasons why the use of stochastic process algebra is attractive to the stochastic modeller. The parsimonious set of operators creates an almost programming-like simplicity to model specifica...
