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 ...

Digital image processing of optical density wave propagation in Dictyostelium discoideum and analysis of the effects of caffeine and ammonia [PDF]
, 1989 Waves of chemotactic movement during the early phase of aggregation in Dictyostelium discoideum were analyzed by digital image processing in a manner that immediately shows the following parameters: wave propagation velocity, period length, wave ...

The improved slime mould algorithm with Levy flight
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020 Abstract In this paper, we proposed the Levy flights to replace the random numbers whether it was in Gauss distribution or uniform distribution in the standard slime mould algorithm (SMA). Three kinds of classical benchmark functions such as the unimodal, multimodal benchmark functions and those who have basins which we could see clearly

Chaotic slime mould optimization algorithm for optimal load-shedding in distribution system
Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2022 The critical challenge for an efficient islanding operation of a distribution system having Distributed Generation (DG) is preserving the frequency and voltage stability. Contemporary load shedding schemes are inefficient and do not adequately assess the

Twisted scroll waves organize Dictyostelium mucoroides slugs [PDF]
, 1997 Cellular slime moulds (Dictyosteloids) are characterised by at least two different modes of slug migration. Most species, e.g. Dictyostelium mucoroides, produce a stalk continuously during slug migration, while a few species, e.g.

Decision-making without a brain: how an amoeboid organism solves the two-armed bandit [PDF]
, 2016 Several recent studies hint at shared patterns in decision-making between taxonomically distant organisms, yet few studies demonstrate and dissect mechanisms of decision-making in simpler organisms.

The simplicity of planar networks [PDF]
, 2013 Shortest paths are not always simple. In planar networks, they can be very different from those with the smallest number of turns - the simplest paths.

A gradient method for the quantitative analysis of cell movement and tissue flow and its application to the analysis of multicellular Dictyostelium development [PDF]
, 1994 We describe the application of a novel image processing method, which allows quantitative analysis of cell and tissue movement in a series of digitized video images. The result is a vector velocity field showing average direction and velocity of movement
