Monotone subsystems have appealing properties as components of larger networks, since
they exhibit robust dynamical stability and predictability of responses to perturbations. This …

This paper, addressed primarily to engineers and mathematicians with an interest in control
theory, argues that entirely new theoretical problems arise naturally when addressing …

Persistence is the property, for differential equations in Rn, that solutions starting in the
positive orthant do not approach the boundary of the orthant. For chemical reactions and …

This paper, prepared for a tutorial at the 2005 IEEE Conference on Decision and Control,
presents an introduction to molecular systems biology and some associated problems in …

A ubiquitous building block of signaling pathways is a cycle of covalent modification (eg,
phosphorylation and dephosphorylation in MAPK cascades). Our paper explores the kind of …

We present a decentralized, scalable approach to assembling a group of heterogeneous
parts into different products using a swarm of robots. While the assembly plans are …

In a recent article, Colquhoun et al.(Colquhoun, D., KA Dowsland, M. Beato, and AJ Plested.
2004. Biophys. J. 86: 3510–3518) present a method to impose detailed balance on a …

A positive dynamical system is said to be persistent if every solution that starts in the interior
of the positive orthant does not approach the boundary of this orthant. For chemical reaction …

Dorn and Matkovich Interaction Between RNA Species 1363 meaningful levels in mouse
hearts, the structure of the mouse Sox6 3′ UTRs provides a high probability of access to≥ …

In this paper, the study of the class of biochemical systems known as zero deficiency
networks is extended to the case of time-varying kinetic parameters. We show that the …
