Cell behavior in three dimensions

Definition and Behavior of Langton's Ant in Three Dimensions

The “virtual ant” automaton was invented by C. Langton [1]. It has an interesting behavior that has been studied in several researches. A definition of generalized ants in three dimensions, as an extension to Langton’s ant, is given here. The phenomenon of periodic motion with drift, the so-called “highway,” is also observed in three dimensions but occurs in very different forms. Two classifica...

Three Dimensions of Business Intelligence Systems Use Behavior

In the Business Intelligence Systems (BIS) use context, the well-researched dimension of intensity of use is not broad enough to capture its meaningful use. The authors therefore investigate the whole spectrum of its use that encompasses effective utilization. The post-adoption research of Information System (IS) use is still under-researched; the study therefore brings novel insights to this a...

Biology in three dimensions

Most things in biology spread out into three dimensions, and many biological web sites include three-dimensional images. But biologists want more than a look at something. They want to pick it up and look at it from all sides, which is where three-dimensional images that can be manipulated online really come into their own. One approach to such interactive images relies on VRML (virtual reality...

Collapsars in Three Dimensions

We present the results of 3-dimensional simulations of the direct collapse to a black hole of a rotating, 60M⊙, zero metallicity, population III star. Because the structure of this star (angular momentum, density and temperature profiles) is similar to many collapsar gamma-ray burst progenitors, these calculations have implications beyond the fate of population III stars. These simulations prov...
