Modeling and optimal regulation of erythropoiesis subject to benzene intoxication by H. T. Banks, Cammey E. Cole, Paul M. Schlosser, Hien T. Tran

“…An age-structured model was usedto examine the process of erythropoiesis, the development of red blood cells.This investigation proved the existence and uniqueness of the solution of thesystem of coupled partial and ordinary differential equations. In addition, weformulated an optimal control problem for the control of erythropoiesis andperformed numerical simulations to compare the performance of the optimalfeedback law and another feedback function based on the Hill function.…”

Local time statistics and permeable barrier crossing: From Poisson to birth-death diffusion equations by Toby Kay, Luca Giuggioli

“…As the asymmetric permeabilities act akin to localized ratchet potentials that break spatial symmetry and detailed balance, the proposed arrangement of asymmetric barriers provides an example of a noise-induced drift without the need to time modulate any external force or create temporal correlations on the motion of a diffusing particle. By placing only one asymmetric barrier in a periodic domain, we also show the emergence of a nonequilibrium steady state.…”
