Noise Propagation in Biological and Chemical Reaction Networks

چکیده
We describe how noise propagates through a network by calculating the variance of the outputs. Using stochastic calculus and dynamical systems theory, we study the network topologies that accentuate or alleviate the effect of random variance in the network for both directed and undirected graphs. Given a linear tree network, the variance in the output is a convex function of the poles of the individual nodes. Cycles create correlations which in turn increase the variance in the output. Feedforward and feedback have a limited effect on noise propagation when the respective cycles is sufficiently long. Crosstalk between the elements of different pathways helps reduce the output noise, but makes the network slower. Next, we study the differences between disturbances in the inputs and disturbances in the network parameters, and how they propagate to the outputs. Finally, we show how noise correlations can affect the steady state of the system in chemical reaction networks with reactions of two or more reactants, each of which may be affected by independent or correlated noise sources. 1

Prediction of polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) properties synthesized at various conditions by artificial neural networks technique
In this research samples of PVOH were synthesized at various reaction conditions (temperature, time, and amount of catalyst). First at 25˚C and 45˚C and constant catalyst weight samples of PVOH were prepared with different degree of hydrolysis at various times. For investigation of the effects of temperature, at times 20 and 40 min and constant weight of catalyst PVOH was prepared at various te...
متن کاملAdjusting Phenotypes by Noise Control
Genetically identical cells can show phenotypic variability. This is often caused by stochastic events that originate from randomness in biochemical processes involving in gene expression and other extrinsic cellular processes. From an engineering perspective, there have been efforts focused on theory and experiments to control noise levels by perturbing and replacing gene network components. H...
متن کاملPrediction of methanol loss by hydrocarbon gas phase in hydrate inhibition unit by back propagation neural networks
Gas hydrate often occurs in natural gas pipelines and process equipment at high pressure and low temperature. Methanol as a hydrate inhibitor injects to the potential hydrate systems and then recovers from the gas phase and re-injects to the system. Since methanol loss imposes an extra cost on the gas processing plants, designing a process for its reduction is necessary. In this study, an accur...
متن کاملClassification of ECG signals using Hermite functions and MLP neural networks
Classification of heart arrhythmia is an important step in developing devices for monitoring the health of individuals. This paper proposes a three module system for classification of electrocardiogram (ECG) beats. These modules are: denoising module, feature extraction module and a classification module. In the first module the stationary wavelet transform (SWF) is used for noise reduction of ...
