Graph of Cellular Automata as a Metaphor of Fusarium Graminearum Growth Implemented in GPGPU CUDA Computational Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fusarium Graminearum is responsible for Fusarium head blight (FHB) infection which reduces world-wide cereal crop yield. As a consequence of mycotoxin production in cereal grain, it has also serious negative impact on both human and animal health. The main objective of this study is to develop a mechanistic and conceptual metaphor of Fusarium growth. Our model is based on a new realization of Graph of Cellular Automata paradigm (GCA) used before for simulating anastomosing rivers and the process of angiogenesis in solid tumors. We demonstrate that GCA model is a very universal metaphor, which can also be used for mimicking Fusarium type of growth. To enable 3-D interactive simulations of realistic population ensembles (10-10 plant and fungal cells), the GCA model was implemented in GPGPU CUDA environment resulting in one order of magnitude speedup.

All the social networks can be modeled as a graph, where each roles as vertex and each relationroles as an edge. The graph can be show as G = [V;E], where V is the set of vertices and E is theset of edges. All social networks can be segmented to K groups, where there are members in eachgroup with same features. In each group each person knows other individuals and is in touch ...

Fusarium graminearum is causal agent of economically catastrophic disease of cereal Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) around the world. In addition to causing a loss of yield, this fungus causes serious threats to humans and animals due to the contamination of grain with the trichothecene mycotoxin. TRI101 gene, a Fusarium spp. gene, encodes an enzyme that transfers an acetyl group to the C3 hydroxyl ...

Cities are growing and encountering many changes over time due to population growth and migration. Identification and detection of these changes play important roles in urban management and sustainable development. Urban growth models are divided into two main categories: first cellular models which are further divided into experimental, dynamic, and integrated models and second vector models. ...
