Mechanisms Inducing Parallel Computation in a Model of Physarum polycephalum Transport Networks
The giant amoeboid organism true slime mould Physarum polycephalum dynamically adapts its body plan in response to changing environmental conditions and its protoplasmic transport network is used to distribute nutrients within the organism. These networks are e cient in terms of network length and network resilience and are parallel approximations of a range of proximity graphs and plane divisi...
متن کاملA revised model of fluid transport optimization in Physarum polycephalum
Optimization of fluid transport in the slime mold Physarum polycephalum has been the subject of several modeling efforts in recent literature. Existing models assume that the tube adaptation mechanism in P. polycephalum's tubular network is controlled by the sheer amount of fluid flow through the tubes. We put forward the hypothesis that the controlling variable may instead be the flow's pressu...
متن کاملLogical Modelling of Physarum Polycephalum
In the paper we proposed a novel model of unconventional computing where a structural part of computation is presented by dynamics of Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum, a large single cell. We sketch a new logical approach combining conventional logic with process calculus to demonstrate how to employ formal methods in design of unconventional computing media presented by Physarum polycephalu...
متن کاملPhysarum polycephalum Histones
Physarumpolycephalum is an acellular slime mould whose histones are of general interest because they allow comparisons to be made between lower eukaryote and higher eukaryote histones and, perhaps more importantly, they provide a unique opportunity for the study of histone changes in the mitotic cycle, which is naturally synchronous in P. polycephalum plasmodia, and during differentiation. Stud...
متن کاملPruning to Increase Taylor Dispersion in Physarum polycephalum Networks.
How do the topology and geometry of a tubular network affect the spread of particles within fluid flows? We investigate patterns of effective dispersion in the hierarchical, biological transport network formed by Physarum polycephalum. We demonstrate that a change in topology-pruning in the foraging state-causes a large increase in effective dispersion throughout the network. By comparison, cha...
