Physarum attraction: Why slime mold behaves as cats do? [PDF]
Commun Integr Biol, 2012 A plasmodium of acellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a large single cell with many nuclei. Presented to a configuration of attracting and repelling stimuli a plasmodium optimizes its growth pattern and spans the attractants, while avoiding ...

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

Ultra-short-term wind power prediction based on PVMD-ESMA-DELM
Energy Reports, 2022 The non-linearity and non-stationarity of wind power data have brought great challenges to the safe operation of the power system. It is particularly important to effectively improve the accuracy of ultra-short-term prediction of wind power.

An Improved Solution to Generation Scheduling Problem Using Slime Mold Algorithm
Frontiers 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]
Journal 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

Two results on slime mold computations [PDF]
Theoretical Computer Science, 2019 We present two results on slime mold computations. In wet-lab experiments (Nature'00) by Nakagaki et al. the slime mold Physarum polycephalum demonstrated its ability to solve shortest path problems. Biologists proposed a mathematical model, a system of differential equations, for the slime's adaption process (J. Theoretical Biology'07).

Complex & 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.
