The phrase "as a control element" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to systems, processes, or experiments where a specific component is used to regulate or influence outcomes.
Example: "The thermostat functions as a control element in the heating system, ensuring that the temperature remains consistent."
Alternatives: "as a regulatory component" or "as a governing factor".
We also evaluated the control system by performing several experiments using the prototype mobile robotic cart and found that the feedforward controller in the two-degrees-of-freedom control system acted as a control element of the force control system between the user and the mobile robotic cart.
The varying iTunes sales of these audio recordings would act as a control element, allowing the Official Charts Company to recalibrate their algorithm in order to compile a chart that truly reflected the popularity of subsequent releases.
In such applications the base or gate of a transistor, depending on the type of transistor in use, is employed as a control element to switch on or off the current between the emitter and collector or the source and drain.
The essence of the previous points is that a good idea for module discovery approaches is to employ the comprehensive predictive power of interaction network data while using gene expression as a control element.
This would suggest that this group functions as a control element within a wide range of cellular signalling pathways that include the regulation of the cell cycle.
Potassium was included in the study as a control element as it is generally non-harmful and had a different spatial distribution from the other elements (Fordyce et al. 2012; Morrison 2011).
Strategies that prolong the life of gctBid may also be worth exploring as degradation of tBid is a control element in many apoptotic pathways and stabilisation of tBid, or proteosome inhibition can greatly amplify apoptosis.
We have carried out a detailed investigation of the methylation state of the IAP retrotransposon that acts as a controlling element in the Avy allele, with unexpected results that give insights into epigenetic regulation at this allele.
A whole-body control framework is used as a key control element which generates a coherent output signal for the robot's joints given the multiple controller inputs, tasks' priorities, physical constraints, and current situation.
This thyristor driven pump has been utilized as a final control element of a flow control loop and the speed of the pump has been selected as the manipulated variable.
A previous study demonstrated in other genes that the CA repeat in the promoter region acted as a negative control element [ 32], suggesting a possibility that a CA repeat length directly affects the transcriptional activity of the IGF-1.
