A mechanistic stochastic framework for regulating bacterial cell division
How exponentially growing cells maintain size homeostasis is an important fundamental problem. Recent single-cell studies in prokaryotes have uncovered the adder principle, where cells add a fixed size (volume) from birth to division, irrespective of their size at birth. To mechanistically explain the adder principle, we consider a timekeeper protein that begins to get stochastically expressed ...
متن کاملStochastic Calculatlon of Interaction Energies
It is likely that the stabilization and golden rule procedure can be readily applied to vibrational Feshbach resonances as well. Eastes and Marcus have successfully used the stabilization method to locate such resonances in atom-diatom oscillator colinear collision^,^^ although they made no attempt to evaluate the resonance widths. Location of resonances by performing scattering calculations pr...
متن کاملBhavnani et Al. respond to "assessing mechanistic interaction".
We thank Dr. VanderWeele for his thoughtful addition (1) to our analysis of the interactions between coinfecting enteric pathogens (2). We appreciate the generalizability of his framework that allows the relaxation of the assumption of monotonicity. Here, we consider the importance of the biology to the monotonicity assumption, causal inference, and the scale on which mechanistic interaction is...
متن کاملMechanistic aspects of the interaction between selenium and arsenic.
Selenium is an essential trace element for humans and other animals, and there is mounting evidence for the efficacy of certain forms of selenium as cancer-chemopreventive compounds. However, over the years, numerous elements such as As, Cu, Zn, Cd, Hg, Sn, Pb, Ni, Co, Sb, Bi, Ag, Au, and Mo have been found to inhibit anti-carcinogenic effects of selenium, which may affect the anti-carcinogenic...
متن کاملDeep determinism and the assessment of mechanistic interaction
Given two variables that causally influence a binary response, we formalize the idea that their effects operate through a common mechanism, in which case we say that the two variables interact mechanistically. We introduce a mechanistic interaction relationship of "interference" that is asymmetric in the two causal factors. Conditions and assumptions under which such mechanistic interaction can...
