Commodity risk assessment of Juglans regia plants from Turkey
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers the plant health risks posed by 2‐year‐old grafted bare rooted plants for ...

A novel universal algorithm for filament network tracing and cytoskeleton analysis
Abstract The rapid development of advanced microscopy techniques over recent decades has significantly increased the quality of imaging and our understanding of subcellular structures, such as the organization of the filaments of the cytoskeleton using fluorescence and electron microscopy.

Physarum Polycephalum changes polyaniline properties [PDF]
Physarum polycephalum slime mould can modify polyaniline (PANI) features due to its internal activity. We created networks with different conductivity made by the slime mould on PANI substrates. Thus, Physarum's growth results in changing the conductivity state of PANI layers, providing negative and positive patterning of the samples.

A Rough Set Version of the Go Game on Physarum Machines
We make use of a Physarum machine that is a biological computing device implemented in the plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum and/or Badhamia utricularis which are one-cell organisms able to build complex networks for solving different computational ...

Spatial mapping reveals multi-step pattern of wound healing in Physarum polycephalum [PDF]
Wounding is a severe impairment of function, especially for an exposed organism like the network-forming true slime mould Physarum polycephalum. The tubular network making up the organism’s body plan is entirely interconnected and shares a common ...

Stepwise slime mould growth as a template for urban design
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.

Hybrid Swarming Algorithm With Van Der Waals Force
This paper proposes a hybrid swarming algorithm based on Ant Colony Optimization and Physarum Polycephalum Algorithm. And the Van Der Waals force is first applied to the pheromone update mechanism of the hybrid algorithm.

Slime Mould Games Based on Rough Set Theory
We define games on the medium of plasmodia of slime mould, unicellular organisms that look like giant amoebae. The plasmodia try to occupy all the food pieces they can detect. Thus, two different plasmodia can compete with each other.
