An Improved Physarum polycephalum Algorithm for the Shortest Path Problem
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Shortest path is among classical problems of computer science. The problems are solved by hundreds of algorithms, silicon computing architectures and novel substrate, unconventional, computing devices. Acellular slime mould P. polycephalum is originally famous as a computing biological substrate due to its alleged ability to approximate shortest path ...

P‐bRS: A Physarum‐Based Routing Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Routing in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is an extremely challenging issue due to the features of WSNs. Inspired by the large and single‐celled amoeboid organism, slime mold Physarum polycephalum, we establish a novel selecting next hop model (SNH).

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 221-240, 2012., 2012 The slime mould Physarumpolycephalum is a suitable candidate organism for soft‐matter robotics because it exhibits controllable transport, movement and guidance behaviour. Physarum may be considered as a smart computing and actuating material since both its motor and control systems are distributed within its undifferentiated tissue and can survive ...

Fluid flows shaping organism morphology
, 2018 A dynamic self-organized morphology is the hallmark of network-shaped organisms like slime moulds and fungi. Organisms continuously re-organize their flexible, undifferentiated body plans to forage for food. Among these organisms the slime mould Physarum

Slime mould solves maze in one pass ... assisted by gradient of chemo-attractants
, 2011 Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a large cell, visible by unaided eye, which exhibits sophisticated patterns of foraging behaviour. The plasmodium's behaviour is well interpreted in terms of computation, where data are spatially extended ...

An inexpensive moist chamber culture technique for finding microbiota on live tree bark
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 12, Issue 2, March-April 2024.Abstract 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 ...

Stochastic cycle selection in active flow networks [PDF]
, 2018 Active biological flow networks pervade nature and span a wide range of scales, from arterial blood vessels and bronchial mucus transport in humans to bacterial flow through porous media or plasmodial shuttle streaming in slime molds.

Morphological Description of Telaepolella tubasferens n. g., n. sp., Isolate ATCC© 50593™, a Filose Amoeba in the Gracilipodida, Amoebozoa [PDF]
, 2012 We describe the amoeboid isolate ATCC© 50593™ as a new taxon, Telaepolella tubasferens n. gen. n. sp. This multinucleated amoeba has filose pseudopods and is superficially similar to members of the vampyrellids (Rhizaria) such as Arachnula impatiens ...

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 ...
