All Organisms Can Be Anesthetized, but There's No Point? [PDF]
BioessaysABSTRACT Because of their interest in medicine, most studies on anesthesia have historically focused on the nervous systems of animals. This has often led to the neglect of the fact that all life forms have the potential to be anesthetized. Anesthetics target proteins, such as four‐domain voltage‐dependent Na+/Ca2⁺ channels (4D‐NaV/CaV) and glutamate ...

Towards Physarum binary adders [PDF]
Biosystems, 2010 Plasmodium of \emph{Physarum polycephalum} is a single cell visible by unaided eye. The plasmodium's foraging behaviour is interpreted in terms of computation. Input data is a configuration of nutrients, result of computation is a network of plasmodium's cytoplasmic tubes spanning sources of nutrients.

Remarkable problem-solving ability of unicellular amoeboid organism and its mechanism [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Choosing a better move correctly and quickly is a fundamental skill of living organisms that corresponds to solving a computationally demanding problem. A unicellular plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum searches for a solution to the travelling salesman ...

An inexpensive moist chamber culture technique for finding microbiota on live tree bark. [PDF]
Appl Plant SciAbstract Premise Traditional moist chamber cultures (MCs) prepared in aseptic laboratory environments using sterile Petri dishes are commonly used to quantify the microbiota of rough‐bark tree species and woody vines. MCs are typically expensive and may be difficult to make, so a less expensive option made from easily available supplies was developed ...

Simulating Transport Networks With a
IEEE Access, 2019 Designing effective transport networks can be considered as one of the most debated problems in the area of computational intelligence. Some nature-inspired algorithms have shown excellent abilities in the adaptive network construction. In this aspect, a

A model for codon position bias in RNA editing [PDF]
, 2005 RNA editing can be crucial for the expression of genetic information via inserting, deleting, or substituting a few nucleotides at specific positions in an RNA sequence. Within coding regions in an RNA sequence, editing usually occurs with a certain bias

A Physarum-Inspired Decision-Making Strategy for Multisource Task Searching of Mobile Robots
Complexity, 2020 In the real world, there are many different kinds of sources, such as light, sound, and gas, distributed randomly over an area. Source search can be carried out by robotic system in applications.
