A caged rhodamine 110 derivative for the specific labeling of SNAP-tag fusion proteins is introduced. The caged rhodamine 110 derivative permits the labeling of cell surface proteins in living cells and of intracellular proteins in fixed cells. The probe requires only a single caging group to maintain the fluorophore in a non-fluorescent state and becomes highly fluorescent after uncaging. The ...

The existence of several periodic structures (known as gliders) in the evolution space of the one-dimensional cellular automaton Rule 110, has important lines of investigation in cellular automata theory such as: complex behavior, universal computation and self-reproduction. We investigate the types of gliders, their properties and production through collisions in Rule 110 and their representat...

We consider the effect of the underlying logical structure on the asymptotic behavior of space-time diagrams of elementary Boolean cellular automata by focussing on the important case of Rule 110 and its counterparts under various many-valued logics. In particular we show that for a (continuous) probabilistic logic the corresponding rule, dubbed PCA 110, appears to have space-time diagrams with...

I use a set of machines based on the concept of nested rule systems built on the a modified version of the Wolfram elemental cellular automata to investigate the role of recombination in providing resistance to ageing. Class III and class IV machines are observed to respond differently to recombination. Class IV machines show recombinational centring in their neutral networks whereas class III ...

We investigate the construction of all the periodic structures or “ gliders ” up to now known in the evolution space of the onedimensional cellular automaton Rule 110. The production of these periodic structures is developed and presented by means of glider collisions. We provide a methodology based on the phases of each glider to establish the necessary conditions for controlling and displayin...

Background. Magical thinking, a sign of schizotypy, is accompanied by a decrease in the strength of left hemisphere language dominance and by an inattention towards the right side of space ("pseudoneglect"). We set out to explore whether it is also associated with a pseudoneglect in imagined space. Material and methods. Forty healthy right-handed adults were asked to imagine the contours of the...
