The results show several approaches in the 3 - phosphoglycerate sink implementation and its consequence on the system efficiency (total mass production), regulation and content of the pool of metabolites as well as the changes within the Calvin-Benson after 3 hours of simulation (from dynamic changes to steady state conditions).
In addition to and based on the discussion of existing models, we furthermore analyzed approaches in PGA sink implementation and confirmed a weak relationship between the level of its regulation and efficiency of PGA export, in contrast to significant changes in the content of metabolic pool within the Calvin-Benson cycle.
Since we do not focus on the complete photorespiratory pathway in this study, we did not analyze the Laisk model separately, except for the difference in the case of phosphate translocator (see the section Calvin-Benson cycle as a part of the metabolic network: PGA sink implementation).
Step 2: Look for the shortest grid path link to the sink node, implementation method showed in section 3.5.2.
No infections occurred after implementation of sink cleaning 3×/day, sink drain modifications, and an antimicrobial stewardship program.
In our experimental proof-of-concept implementation, the sinks and the control PC are connected using a wired ethernet connection, but the concepts can equally be applied to networks where sink devices use (long range) wireless communication technologies to exchange information between each other.
In contrast, a cluster of 4 patients infected with K. oxytoca in a geographically distant medical ward without contaminated sinks was contained with implementation of active screening and contact precautions.
The implementation of multiple sinks using the concept of a virtual sink allows an easy deployment of additional sinks without having to change how the non-sink nodes operate.
Moreover, it is worthwhile to mention that the central device, which is also called as body gateway (BG), body control unit (BCU), hub or a sink, in some implementations can be a smartphone or a personal digital assistant (PDA).
