Book Description
This thesis mainly concerns modeling, approximation and inference of gene regulatory dynamics on the basis of gene expression patterns. The dynamical behavior of gene expressions is represented by a system of ordinary di erential equations. We introduce a gene-interaction matrix with some nonlinear entries, in particular, quadratic polynomials of the expression levels to keep the system solvable. The model parameters are determined by using optimization. Then, we provide the time-discrete approximation of our time-continuous model. We analyze the approximating model under the aspect of stability. Finally, from the considered models we derive gene regulatory networks, discuss their qualitative features of the networks and provide a basis for analyzing networks with nonlinear connections.

Book Description
Dynamics, Games and Science I and II are a selection of surveys and research articles written by leading researchers in mathematics. The majority of the contributions are on dynamical systems and game theory, focusing either on fundamental and theoretical developments or on applications to modeling in biology, ecomonics, engineering, finances and psychology. The papers are based on talks given at the International Conference DYNA 2008, held in honor of Mauricio Peixoto and David Rand at the University of Braga, Portugal, on September 8-12, 2008. The aim of these volumes is to present cutting-edge research in these areas to encourage graduate students and researchers in mathematics and other fields to develop them further.

Book Description
This book serves as an introduction to the myriad computational approaches to gene regulatory modeling and analysis, and is written specifically with experimental biologists in mind. Mathematical jargon is avoided and explanations are given in intuitive terms. In cases where equations are unavoidable, they are derived from first principles or, at the very least, an intuitive description is provided. Extensive examples and a large number of model descriptions are provided for use in both classroom exercises as well as self-guided exploration and learning. As such, the book is ideal for self-learning and also as the basis of a semester-long course for undergraduate and graduate students in molecular biology, bioengineering, genome sciences, or systems biology./a

Book Description
This volume contains a selection of 128 papers presented in lectures during the international scientific symposium "Operations Research 2005" (OR 2005) held at the University of Bremen, September 7-9, 2005. This international conference took place under the auspices of the German Operations Research Society (GOR). The symposium had about 600 participants from countries all over the world. It attracted academics and practitioners working in various fields of Operations Research and provided them with the most recent advances in Operations Research as well as related areas in Economics, Mathematics, and Computer Science including the special interest streams Logistics and New Maritime Businesses. The program consisted of 3 plenary and 15 semi-plenary talks and about 400 contributed presentations selected by the program committee to be presented in 20 sections.

Book Description
There are many invaluable books available on data mining theory and applications. However, in compiling a volume titled “DATA MINING: Foundations and Intelligent Paradigms: Volume 2: Core Topics including Statistical, Time-Series and Bayesian Analysis” we wish to introduce some of the latest developments to a broad audience of both specialists and non-specialists in this field.

Book Description
High-throughput genomics has been increasingly generating the massive amount of genome-wide data. With proper modeling methodologies, we can expect to archive a more comprehensive understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of biological systems. This work presents integrative approaches for the modeling and analysis of gene regulatory systems. In mammals, gene expression regulation is combinatorial in nature, with diverse roles of regulators on target genes. Microarrays (such as Exon Arrays) and RNA-Seq can be used to quantify the whole spectrum of RNA transcripts. ChIP-Seq is being used for the identification of transcription factor (TF) binding sites and histone modification marks. RNA interference (RNAi), coupled with gene expression profiles, allow perturbations of gene regulatory systems. Our approaches extract useful information from those genome-wide measurements for effectively modeling the logic of gene expression regulation. We present a predictive model for the prediction of gene expression from ChIP-Seq signals, based on quantitative modeling of regulator-gene association strength, principal component analysis, and regression-based model selection. We demonstrate the combinatorial regulation of TFs, and their power for explaining genome-wide gene expression variation. We also illustrate the roles of covalent histone modification marks on predicting gene expression and their regulation by TFs. We present a dynamical model of gene expression profiling, and derive the perturbed behaviors of the ordinary differential equation (ODE) system. Based on that, we present a regularized multivariate regression method for inferring the gene regulatory network of a stable cell type. We model the sparsity and stability of the network by a regularization approach. We applied the approaches to both a simulation data set and the RNAi perturbation data in mouse embryonic stem cells.

Book Description
This brief examines a deterministic, ODE-based model for gene regulatory networks (GRN) that incorporates nonlinearities and time-delayed feedback. An introductory chapter provides some insights into molecular biology and GRNs. The mathematical tools necessary for studying the GRN model are then reviewed, in particular Hill functions and Schwarzian derivatives. One chapter is devoted to the analysis of GRNs under negative feedback with time delays and a special case of a homogenous GRN is considered. Asymptotic stability analysis of GRNs under positive feedback is then considered in a separate chapter, in which conditions leading to bi-stability are derived. Graduate and advanced undergraduate students and researchers in control engineering, applied mathematics, systems biology and synthetic biology will find this brief to be a clear and concise introduction to the modeling and analysis of GRNs.

Book Description
A systems biological approach towards cellular networks promises a better understanding of how these systems work. The development of mathematical models is however inherently complicated, as the involved molecules and their interactions are mostly difficult to measure. Focusing on gene regulation networks, this work therefore intends to provide systems theoretic tools that support the process of model development and analysis in presence of such incomplete knowledge. The contributions are threefold. First, the problem of identifying interconnections between genes from noisy data is addressed. Existing solutions formulated in a discrete framework are reviewed and simplified significantly with the help of tools from convex optimization theory. Second, a novel method for model verification and discrimination is introduced. It is based on concepts from robust control theory and allows to quantify the capability of a model to reproduce experimentally observed stationary behaviors. As the proposed formalism only requires a vague knowledge about the interactions between the molecules, the method is intended to test and compare early modeling hypotheses. Third, the problem of controlling gene regulation networks in presence of qualitative information only is studied. Methods from discrete event systems theory are adapted to obtain stimulation strategies that will steer the network toward a desired attractor. The benefits of all contributions are illustrated with examples in the individual chapters.
