Examples of affect regulation in the following topics:

  • Government Regulation

    • It "safeguards human health and the environment by providing several major incentives for regulated entities to voluntarily come into compliance with federal environmental Laws & Regulations. " Affected entities must voluntarily discover and act to correct any violations that occur.
    • Regulation is the promulgation, monitoring, and enforcement of rules.
    • Regulation can take many forms: legal restrictions promulgated by a government authority, contractual obligations that bind many parties (e.g., "insurance regulations" that arise out of contracts between insurers and their insureds), self-regulation by an industry such as through a trade association, social regulation, co-regulation, third-party regulation, certification, accreditation, or market regulation.
    • Market failures - regulation due to inefficiency.
    • Endogenous preferences - regulation aimed at affecting the development of certain preferences on an aggregate level.
  • Small Regulatory RNAs

    • Small regulatory RNAs encompass a specific class of RNAs that affect gene regulation.
    • These small regulatory RNAs play a critical role in gene regulation via numerous mechanisms.
    • There are numerous classes of small regulatory RNAs that play a key role in regulation.
    • RPoS genes specifically encode for sigma factors which function as regulators of transcription and stress responses.
    • Small RNAs have been shown to regulate RPoS translation and those identified thus far include: DsrA, RprA, and OxyS.
  • Determinants of Supply

    • Innumerable factors and circumstances could affect a seller's willingness or ability to produce and sell a good.
    • Expectations: Sellers' expectations concerning future market conditions can directly affect supply.
    • Government policies and regulations: Government intervention can take many forms including environmental and health regulations, hour and wage laws, taxes, electrical and natural gas rates and zoning and land use regulations.
    • These regulations can affect a good's supply.
    • However, the supply curve itself may shift outward or inward in response to non-price related factors that affect the supply of a good, such as technological advances or increased cost of materials.
  • Local Regulation of Blood Flow

    • Blood flow is regulated locally in the arterioles and capillaries using smooth muscle contraction, hormones, oxygen, and changes in pH.
    • Blood flow is regulated by vasoconstriction or vasodilation of smooth muscle fibers in the walls of blood vessels, typically arterioles.
    • This regulation can be systemic, affecting the whole of the circulatory system, or localized to specific tissues or organs.
  • Social Regulation

    • Social policy refers to guidelines, principles, legislation and activities that affect the living conditions conducive to human welfare.
    • Social policy primarily refers to guidelines, principles, legislation and activities that affect the living conditions conducive to human welfare.
    • In the U.S., throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, the government engaged in substantial regulation of the economy.
    • In the 18th century, the production and distribution of goods were regulated by British government ministries over the American Colonies.
    • Summarize the broad periods of regulation and deregulation in American history
  • Applicable Legislation

    • Anti-tobacco legislation affects the tobacco and related industries, for example.
    • Tariffs and import quotas imposed by the government affect certain industries (e.g.automobile).
    • Other industries are regulated, or no longer regulated, by government (e.g. rail, trucking, and airlines).
    • State laws: State legislation affects marketers in different ways.
    • Every facet of business is affected by one or more laws.
  • Regulating Protein Activity and Longevity

    • A cell can rapidly change the levels of proteins in response to the environment by adding specific chemical groups to alter gene regulation.
    • The addition or removal of these groups from proteins regulates their activity or the length of time they exist in the cell.
    • All of these protein activities are affected by the phosphorylation process.
    • Another example of chemical modifications affecting protein activity include the addition or removal of methyl groups.
    • The addition of this chemical group changes the property of the protein and, thus, affects it activity.
  • Regulator Molecules of the Cell Cycle

    • These regulatory molecules either promote progress of the cell to the next phase (positive regulation) or halt the cycle (negative regulation).
    • Conversely, the effect of a deficient or non-functioning regulator can be wide-ranging and possibly fatal to the cell if multiple processes are affected.
    • Cyclins regulate the cell cycle only when they are tightly bound to Cdks.
    • Negative regulators halt the cell cycle.
    • For the cell to move past each of the checkpoints, all positive regulators must be "turned on" and all negative regulators must be "turned off."
  • Density-Dependent and Density-Independent Population Regulation

    • Population regulation is a density-dependent process, meaning that population growth rates are regulated by the density of a population.
    • In population ecology, density-dependent processes occur when population growth rates are regulated by the density of a population.
    • An example of density-dependent regulation is shown with results from a study focusing on the giant intestinal roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides), a parasite of humans and other mammals.
    • In real-life situations, population regulation is very complicated and density-dependent and independent factors can interact.
    • For example, a population of deer affected by a harsh winter will recover faster if there are more deer remaining to reproduce.
  • Riboswitches

    • Riboswitches are naturally occurring RNA molecules that can regulate gene expression.
    • Riboswitches are specific components of an mRNA molecule that regulates gene expression.
    • An mRNA molecule may contain a riboswitch that directly regulates its own expression.
    • The riboswitches are naturally occurring RNA molecules that allow for RNA regulation .
    • The binding of the aptamer to the target molecule results in a conformational change of the expression platform, thus affecting gene expression.
