How vulnerable is an undirected planar graph with respect to max flow
Abstract We study the problem of computing the vitality of edges and vertices with respect to the st$$ st $$‐max flow in undirected planar graphs, where the vitality of an edge/vertex is the st$$ st $$‐max flow decrease when the edge/vertex is removed from the graph. This allows us to establish the vulnerability of the graph with respect to the st$$ st

Logical Modelling of Physarum Polycephalum
We propose a novel model of unconventional computing where a structural part of computation is presented by dynamics of plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum, a large single cell. We sketch a new logical approach combining conventional logic with process calculus to demonstrate how to employ formal methods in design of unconventional computing media ...

Effective mixing due to oscillatory laminar flow in tubular networks of plasmodial slime moulds
The plasmodium of the unicellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum forms an extended vascular network in which protoplasm is transported through the giant cell due to peristaltic pumping. The flow in the veins is always parabolic and it performs shuttle

PhysarumSpreader: A New Bio-Inspired Methodology for Identifying Influential Spreaders in Complex Networks. [PDF]
Identifying influential spreaders in networks, which contributes to optimizing the use of available resources and efficient spreading of information, is of great theoretical significance and practical value.

Sounds synthesis with slime mould of Physarum Polycephalum [PDF]
Physarum polycephalum is a huge single cell with thousands of nuclei, which behaves like a giant amoeba. During its foraging behaviour this plasmodium produces electrical activity corresponding to different physiological states. We developed a method to render sounds from such electrical activity and thus represent spatio-temporal behaviour of slime ...

How to Observe the Inner Space of a Complex Biological System through Speculative Simulation
We present an approach for composition and performance with speculative complex biological systems. This iterative approach engages with both the content and the context of science through generative visual and sound art. We offer a conceptual framing as

Vascular adaptation model from force balance: Physarum polycephalum as a case study
Understanding vascular adaptation, namely what drives veins to shrink or grow, is key for the self-organization of flow networks and their optimization.

Enactive Pragmatism and Ecological Psychology
A widely cited roadblock to bridging ecological psychology and enactivism is that the former identifies with realism and the latter identifies with constructivism, which critics charge is subjectivist.

A Cellular Automata Bioinspired Algorithm Designing Data Trees in Wireless Sensor Networks
Several studies present methods to economize energy in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) which is one of the most confining resources in these systems. This paper presents a bioinspired, cellular automata (CA) based model for constructing data trees that ...
