Integrated systems analysis

We note that metabolic systems are studied often in systems biology using dynamics analysis such as flux balance analysis and differential equations. However, discussion regarding systems dynamics is beyond the scope of this current manuscript, and we refer the interested reader to the relevant literature (37, 38). This limitation, however, does not preclude these analyses from the standpoint of integrated systems analysis for understanding the metabolic pathway.

RISKMAN is an integrated Microsoft Windows , personal computer software system for [H. i forming quantitative risk analysis. Used for PSAs for aerospace, nuclear power, and chemical [iroccsses, it has five main modules Data Analysis, Systems Analysis, External Events Analysis, Event Tree Analysis, and Important Sequences. There are also modules for software system maintenance, backup, restoration, software updates, printer font, and page control. PEG has also integrated the fault tree programs CAFTA, SETS, NRCCUT, and IRRAS into RISKMAN.

Two general approaches, component integration and whole system analysis have been used for to assess soil and root respiration (Anderson 1982 Hanson et al. 2000 Bostrom et al. 2007). In component integration the net respiration is determined by summing the respiration rates of the individual components (roots, plant residues, and soil). The disadvantage of this approach is the physical separation of these materials and that interactions between components cannot be evaluated.
