We introduce the dynamical covariant derivative on Lie algebroids and prove that the nonlinear connection induced by a regular Lagrangian is compatible with the metric and symplectic structures. The notions of mechanical structure and semi-Hamiltonian section are introduced on the prolongation of the Lie algebroid to its dual bundle and their properties are investigated. Finally, we prove the equivalence between the metric nonlinear connection and semi-Hamiltonian section, using the Legendre transformation induced by a regular Hamiltonian.

The notion of dynamical covariant derivative is introduced and a metric nonlinear connection is found. We prove that the nonlinear connection induced by a regular Hamiltonian on a Lie algebroid is the unique connection which is compatible with the metric and symplectic structures.

A PGDB such as EcoCyc integrates the evolving understanding of the genes, proteins, metabolic network and regulatory network of an organism. This article provides an overview of Pathway Tools capabilities. The software performs multiple computational inferences including prediction of metabolic pathways, prediction of metabolic pathway hole fillers and prediction of operons. It enables interactive editing of PGDBs by DB curators. It supports web publishing of PGDBs, and provides a large number of query and visualization tools. The software also supports comparative analyses of PGDBs, and provides several systems biology analyses of PGDBs including reachability analysis of metabolic networks, and interactive tracing of metabolites through a metabolic network. More than 800 PGDBs have been created using Pathway Tools by scientists around the world, many of which are curated DBs for important model organisms. Those PGDBs can be exchanged using a peerto-peer DB sharing system called the PGDB Registry.

MetaCyc pathways are experimentally determined, mostly small-molecule metabolic pathways and are curated from the primary scientific literature. MetaCyc contains >2100 pathways derived from >37 000 publications, and is the largest curated collection of metabolic pathways currently available. BioCyc (BioCyc.org) is a collection of >3000 organism-specific Pathway/Genome Databases (PGDBs), each containing the full genome and predicted metabolic network of one organism, including metabolites, enzymes, reactions, metabolic pathways, predicted operons, transport systems and pathway-hole fillers. Additions to BioCyc over the past 2 years include YeastCyc, a PGDB for Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and 891 new genomes from the Human Microbiome Project. The BioCyc Web site offers a variety of tools for querying and analysis of PGDBs, including Omics Viewers and tools for comparative analysis. New developments include atom mappings in reactions, a new representation of glycan degradation pathways, improved compound structure display, better coverage of enzyme kinetic data, enhancements of the Web Groups functionality, improvements to the Omics viewers, a new representation of the Enzyme Commission system and, for the desktop version of the software, the ability to save display states.

One strategy for addressing this problem is to predict which metabolic pathways, from a reference database of known pathways, are present in the organism, based on the annotated genome of the organism.

We give new conditions for the existence of exponential dichotomy roughness in infinite dimensional space and in the finite interval case. We also improve previous results by indicating the exact values of the dichotomic constants of the perturbed equation.

We shall also prove that such equations are structurally stable.
