Chemical compounds from Dictyostelium discoideum repel a plant-parasitic nematode and can protect roots. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Slime mold species in the genus Dictyostelium are considered to have a close relationship with non-parasitic nematodes; they are sympatric in soils and can exhibit interspecific competition for food. We investigated whether this relationship extends to a

A Node Selecting Approach for Traffic Network Based on Artificial Slime Mold

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
The node selecting problem of traffic network is a significant issue and is difficult to be solved. In this paper, an artificial slime mold method is proposed to help us solve the problem.

Design of comb-shaped single-electron slime mold circuit and its application to traveling salesman problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
We propose a single-electron (SE) information processing circuit that mimics the behavior of slime mold. While SE circuits have advantages such as parallel processing and low power consumption, a suitable information processing method has not yet been ...

Slime Mold Inspired Distribution Network Initial Solution

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
Electricity distribution network optimisation has attracted attention in recent years due to the widespread penetration of distributed generation. A considerable portion of network optimisation algorithms rely on an initial solution that is supposed to ...

The food seeking behavior of slime mold: a macroscopic approach

open access: yesMathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2020
Starting from a particle model we derive a macroscopic aggregation-diffusion equation for the evolution of slime mold under the assumption of propagation of chaos in the large particle limit.

An Improved Solution to Generation Scheduling Problem Using Slime Mold Algorithm

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2022
The slime mold algorithm (SMA) is a novel meta-heuristic search that replicates the characteristics of slime mold during oscillation. This is presented in a novel mathematical formulation that employs changeable weights to modify the sequence of both ...

GALVANOTAXIS OF SLIME MOLD [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of General Physiology, 1951
The plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum reacts to direct current by migration toward the cathode. Cathodal migration was obtained upon a variety of substrata such as baked clay, paper, cellophane, and agar with a current density in the substratum of 1.0 µa./mm.2 Injury was produced by current densities of 8.0 to 12.0 µa./mm.2 The negative galvanotactic

A hybrid algorithm based on state-adaptive slime mold model and fractional-order ant system for the travelling salesman problem

open access: yesComplex & Intelligent Systems, 2022
The ant colony optimization (ACO) is one efficient approach for solving the travelling salesman problem (TSP). Here, we propose a hybrid algorithm based on state-adaptive slime mold model and fractional-order ant system (SSMFAS) to address the TSP.
