Bacteria as Control Engineers [PDF]
Molecular Cell, 2011 Bacteria encounter fluctuations in both their external and internal environments, and to manage these conditions, they employ various control mechanisms. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Hart et al. (2011) investigate how E. coli robustly controls nitrogen assimilation.

Engineering control into medicine [PDF]
Journal of Critical Care, 2015 The human body is a tightly controlled engineering miracle. However, medical training generally does not cover "control" (in the engineering sense) in physiology, pathophysiology, and therapeutics. A better understanding of how evolved controls maintain normal homeostasis is critical for understanding the failure mode of controlled systems, that is ...

An Introduction to Control Engineering [PDF]
Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, 1973 The viewpoint, terminology and technique of the control engineer are introduced in the context of biological control systems. The centrality of the feedback principle in the operation of control systems is emphasized, and the advantages of feedback control described.
