Regulators, though not controllers or final control elements, perform the combined function of these two devices (controller and final control element) along with the measurement function commonly associated with the process variable transmitter. The uniqueness, control performance, and widespread usage of the regulator make it deseivang of a functional grouping of its own. 

A regulator is a compact device that maintains the process variable at a specific value in spite of disturbances in load flow. It combines the functions of the measurement sensor, controher, and final control element into one self-contained device. Regulators are available to control pressure, differential pressure, temperature, flow, hquid level, and other basic process variables. They are used to control the differential across a filter press, heat exchanger, or orifice plate. Regulators are used for monitoring pressure variables for redundancy, flow check, and liquid surge relief. 

Proportional-action governor is a governor with inherent regulation and a continuous hnear relation between the input (speed change) and the output of the final control element, the governing valve. 

Silyl ethers are among the most frequently used protective groups for the alcohol function. This stems largely from the fact that their reactivity (both formation and cleavage) can be modulated by a suitable choice of substituents on the silicon atom. Both steric and electronic effects are the basic controlling elements that regulate the ease of cleavage in multiply functionalized substrates. In plan-... 

A thermohydraulic FW regulator has a double-tube control element located at the steam-water interface NOWL. The outer tube contains condensate and connects to a bellows. When the water level drops, the...

When a control system is being used, the designer must indicate the transmission lines that will connect the measuring element to the final control element. The notation for these transmission lines is given in Table 7-3. The final control element has the same code letters and numbers as the controller that regulates it, plus an additional letter to indicate whether it is a valve, switch, or other device. 

The well-investigated lactose operon of the bacterium Escherichial coli can be used here as an example of transcriptional control. The lac operon is a DNA sequence that is simultaneously subject to negative and positive control. The operon contains the structural genes for three proteins that are required for the utilization of lactose (one transporter and two enzymes), as well as control elements that serve to regulate the operon. 

In the resting state, the lysine residues in the N-terminal tail of the histones (see p. 238) are not acetylated. In this state, which can be produced by histone deacetylases [1], the nucleosomes are stable. It is only the interaction of activator and regulator proteins with their control elements that allows the binding of coactivator complexes that have histone acetylase activity [2]. They acetylate the histone tails and thereby loosen the nu-cleosome structure suf ciently for the basal transcription complex to form. 

These regulation mechanisms caimot be considered in isolation. Rather, it must be assumed that the individual mechanisms cooperate, and demonsbate mutual regulation and that feedback mechanisms are built in. All control elements can be activated, in principle, by external signals, resulting in a complex network of cell cycle control with many entry and exit points. The following sections are thus highly incomplete and only describe the elements that have been experimentally well proven. 

The MDM2 protein is recognized as another important control element of p53 function. The MDM protein was first identified as an oncoprotein that negatively regulates p53 function. The regulatory function is performed within a network that includes the inhibitor pl9 (Fig. 14.10). 

The necessary control of metabolism and of growth is accomplished largely through mechanisms that regulate the locations, the amounts, and the catalytic activities of enzymes. The purpose of this chapter is to summarize these control mechanisms and to introduce terminology and shorthand notations that will be used throughout this book. Many of the control elements considered are summarized in Fig. 11-1.
