Behavioural variation of acellular slime moulds [PDF]
, 2023 Protists are represented in every biome and have a diverse range of ecosystem roles.However, protists are severely under-represented in the scientific literature with fewstudies on how their diversity or behaviour affects ecosystem functioning. One group

A Bio‐Inspired Method for the Constrained Shortest Path Problem
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 The constrained shortest path (CSP) problem has been widely used in transportation optimization, crew scheduling, network routing and so on. It is an open issue since it is a NP‐hard problem. In this paper, we propose an innovative method which is based on the internal mechanism of the adaptive amoeba algorithm.

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 ...

Mycology, 2011 The Philippines has a poorly documented microbial flora and this is particularly true for myxomycetes. Thus, the research project described herein was carried out to assess the occurrence, distribution and diversity of the communities of myxomycetes in Mt. Arayat National Park.

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 ...

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).

When the path is never shortest: a reality check on shortest path biocomputation
, 2017 Shortest path problems are a touchstone for evaluating the computing performance and functional range of novel computing substrates. Much has been published in recent years regarding the use of biocomputers to solve minimal path problems such as route ...

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 ...
