Signaling systems, modeling

This section describes the reliability assessment made to the railway signaling system model described in Section 5. The fault-tolerance provided by the system is evaluated by means of simulated fault injection. To do so, the PS-TTM ATE framework described in Section 4 is connected to the SUT and the environment model as shown in Fig. 4.

In the first part of this review, the regulation of plantaricin expression in L. plantarum will be used as the model to describe the signaling system of bacteriocin biosynthesis and where relevant, it will be extended to other similar systems to emphasize differences between the various systems. 

Because we can measure—or reliably estimate—all three of these brain functions, we can construct a three-dimensional model representing (1) the energy level of the brain and its component parts (Factor A, for Activation) (2) the input-output gating status of the brain, including its internal signaling systems (Factor I, for Information Source) and (3) the modulatory status of the brain, which is determined by those chemical systems that determine the mode of processing to which the information is subjected (Factor M, for Modulation). 

A central question in cellular biology is now to elucidate (meaning to develop models with reliable predictive power) the mechanisms by which the cells transduce information and perform their functions. Cellular biochemical signaling systems are customarily visualized as logic circuits the components for the circuitry, now popularly called modules [78], consist of molecules and biochemical reactions. Hence they can be subjected to kinetic and thermodynamic analysis as we have introduced in the previous chapters. In this chapter, we study several such modules that occur widely in cellular biology.

In view of the general validity of eq. (3.51), for any small signal system perturbation experiment (irrespective of the excitation technique applied), the possibility to discriminate between the different variants A, B, or C of the polarization model, and therefore the interpretability of the system response in terms of Ret, R t, and 4tep/VAd critically depends upon the properties of G(s) and H(s) as extensively discussed in the literature [3.100].
