A cellular automata model for Chagas disease

developing a cellular automata model for urban growth

in the last decade, cellular automata models have been widely used for simulation spatial phenomena; however, exact nature of these models have been lead to various limitations for essential simulation of these phenomena. in this research, traditional cellular automata models have been developed through fuzzy theory, in which, transition rules are expressed based on fuzzy logic control methodol...

Mouse as a model for Chagas disease: does mouse represent a good model for Chagas disease?

a cellular automata based model for simulating restitution property in a single heart cell

ventricular fibrillation is the cause of the most sudden deaths. the recent findings have clearly proved the correlation between the slope of restitution curve with ventricular fibrillation. cellular automata is a powerful tool for simulating complex phenomena in a simple language. in this paper, a simple model is proposed for the simulation of the property of restitution in a single cardiac ce...

Pattern Formation of the FitzHugh-Nagumo Model: Cellular Automata Approach

FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) model is a famous Reaction-Diffusion System which first introduced for the conduction of electrical impulses along a nerve fiber. This model is also considered as an abstract model for pattern formation. Here, we have used the Cellular Automata method to simulate the pattern formation of the FHN model. It is shown that the pattern of this model is very similar to those...

Critical Behavior in a Cellular Automata Animal Disease Transmission Model

Using a cellular automata model, we simulate the British Government Policy (BGP) in the 2001 foot and mouth epidemic in Great Britain. When clinical symptoms of the disease appeared on a farm, there is mandatory slaughter (culling) of all livestock on an infected premise (IP). Those farms that neighbor an IP (contiguous premise, CP), are also culled, aka nearest neighbor interaction. Farms wher...
