unusual facts about system dynamics


Actin remodeling

Cell surface (cortical) actin remodeling is a cyclic process, and each step is responsive to cell signaling, making this a dynamic process.


Control–feedback–abort loop

In 1986, Mr. LeDoux, with assistance from Mr. Warren Yates, a former engineer from General Dynamics, Inc., found that using a Control and Feedback concept for analyzing group and system dynamics was not providing them with the full picture when systems were going out of control.

Linear parametric varying control

In general, these controllers are often designed at various operating points using linearized models of the system dynamics and are scheduled as a function of a parameter or parameters for operation at intermediate conditions.

Malcolm Slesser

Slesser pioneered the study of the potential for economic growth that led to methods for estimating the economic carrying capacity through the ECCO (Evaluation of Capital Creation Options also referred to as the Enhancement of Carrying Capacity or Economic Coordination Options) model of an economy uses the stocks-and-flows paradigm (aka system dynamics) to track energy and other natural capital flows through the economy.
