Pruning to Increase Taylor Dispersion in Physarum polycephalum Networks
, 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.

Nanomaterials as Microglia Modulators in the Treatment of Central Nervous System Disorders
Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 13, Issue 12, May 7, 2024.Microglia activation states M1 and M2, besides their physiological roles, play key roles in the onset and progression of various CNS disorders. The modulation of microglia activity using nanomaterials represents a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of these diseases (created with BioRender.com).

How vulnerable is an undirected planar graph with respect to max flow
Networks, Volume 83, Issue 3, Page 570-586, April 2024.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

A multidirectional modified Physarum solver for discrete decision making [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper, a bio-inspired algorithm able to incrementally grow decision graphs in multiple directions is presented. The heuristic draws inspiration from the behaviour of the slime mould Physarum Polycephalum.

Slime mould computes planar shapes [PDF]
, 2011 Computing a polygon defining a set of planar points is a classical problem of modern computational geometry. In laboratory experiments we demonstrate that a concave hull, a connected alpha-shape without holes, of a finite planar set is approximated by ...

Spatial mapping reveals multi-step pattern of wound healing in Physarum polycephalum
, 2017 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 ...

Enactive Pragmatism and Ecological Psychology
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 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.
