Pruning to Increase Taylor Dispersion in Physarum polycephalum Networks [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2016 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.

Basic Transitions of Physarum Polycephalum [PDF]
Annals of computer science and information systems, 2015 The main charter of this work is the organism Physarum polycephalum, in particular plasmodium, Physarum's vegetative phase. During this latter form, the organism is more active and moves searching for food. Plasmodium behaves like a giant amoeba, and more interestingly, its way of foraging can be interpreted as a computation.

Stepwise slime mould growth as a template for urban design [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The true slime mould, Physarum polycephalum, develops as a vascular network of protoplasm, connecting node-like sources of food in an effort to solve multi-objective transport problems.

Catalogue of fungi in China 4: Didymiaceae and Physaraceae (Myxomycetes) [PDF]
MycologyMyxomycetes play crucial ecological roles, yet their species diversity, distribution, and taxonomic relationships remain poorly understood. In this study, we examined 104 specimens from 19 provinces in China. Through morphological analysis, we identified

Sterol content of the Myxomycetes Physarum polycephalum and P. flavicomum
Journal of Lipid Research, 1976 The sterol content of two Myxomycetes, Physarum polycephalum and P. flavicomum has been examined. The sterols of the two species are apparently identical, the two major sterols in each being poriferasterol and 22-dihydroporiferasterol.

A survey on physarum polycephalum intelligent foraging behaviour and bio-inspired applications [PDF]
Artificial Intelligence Review, 2021 In recent years, research on Physarum polycephalum has become more popular after Nakagaki (AIR 407: 6803-470, 2000) performed their famous experiment showing that Physarum was able to find the shortest route through a maze.

Using an Artificial Physarum polycephalum Colony for Threshold Image Segmentation
Applied Sciences, 2023 Traditional artificial intelligence algorithms are prone to falling into local optima when solving threshold segmentation problems. Here, a novel artificial Physarum polycephalum colony algorithm is proposed to help us solve the difficult problem. First,
