The Physarum polycephalum actin network: Formalisation, topology and morphological correlates with computational ability (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The plasmodial form of slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a macroscopic acellular organism that is capable of apparently intelligent behaviour, yet it lacks any features usually associated with intelligence. In this investigation, we study the morp... Read More about The Physarum polycephalum actin network: Formalisation, topology and morphological correlates with computational ability.

A bio-inspired algorithm for identification of critical components in the transportation networks (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Critical components in a transportation or communication network are those which should be better protected or secured because their removal has a significant impact on the whole network. In such networks, th... Read More about A bio-inspired algorithm for identification of critical components in the transportation networks.

Supplier selection based on evidence theory and analytic network process (2014)
Journal Article

© IMechE 2014. The supplier selection is a key component of the supply chain management. Existing methods for the supplier selection are based on analytic network process. They can handle the interdependence of decision attributes; however, these met... Read More about Supplier selection based on evidence theory and analytic network process.

Complete characterization of structure of rule 54 (2014)
Journal Article

The dynamics of rule 54 one-dimensional two-state cellular automaton (CA) are a discrete analog of a space-time dynamics of excitations in nonlinear active medium with mutual inhibition. A cell switches its state 0 to state 1 if one of its two neighb... Read More about Complete characterization of structure of rule 54.

Toward hybrid nanostructure-slime mould devices (2014)
Journal Article

The plasmodium of slime mould Physarum polycephalum has recently received signi¯cant attention for its value as a highly malleable amorphous computing substrate. In laboratory-based experiments, nanoscale arti¯cial circuit components were introduced... Read More about Toward hybrid nanostructure-slime mould devices.

Slime mould electronic oscillators (2014)
Journal Article

We construct electronic oscillator from acellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum. The slime mould oscillator is made of two electrodes connected by a protoplasmic tube of the living slime mould. A protoplasmic tube has an average resistance of 3 M... Read More about Slime mould electronic oscillators.

Information coding with frequency of oscillations in Belousov-Zhabotinsky encapsulated disks (2014)
Journal Article

Information processing with an excitable chemical medium, like the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction, is typically based on information coding in the presence or absence of excitation pulses. Here we present a new concept of Boolean coding that can... Read More about Information coding with frequency of oscillations in Belousov-Zhabotinsky encapsulated disks.

Slime mold microfluidic logical gates (2014)
Journal Article

We demonstrate how logical operations can be implemented in ensembles of protoplasmic tubes of acellular slime mold Physarum polycephalum. The tactile response of the protoplasmic tubes is used to actuate analogs of two- and four-input logical gates... Read More about Slime mold microfluidic logical gates.

Evolving spiking networks with variable resistive memories (2014)
Journal Article

Neuromorphic computing is a brainlike information processing paradigm that requires adaptive learning mechanisms. A spiking neuro-evolutionary system is used for this purpose; plastic resistive memories are implemented as synapses in spiking neural n...

Slime mould logic gates based on frequency changes of electrical potential oscillation (2014)
Journal Article

Physarum polycephalum is a large single amoeba cell, which in its plasmodial phase, forages and connects nearby food sources with protoplasmic tubes. The organism forages for food by growing these tubes towards detected foodstuff, this foraging behav...

Emergent spiking in non-ideal memristor networks (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Memristors have uses as artificial synapses and perform well in this role in simulations with artificial spiking neurons. Our experiments show that memristor networks natively spike and can exhibit emergent o... Read More about Emergent spiking in non-ideal memristor networks.

Towards plant wires (2014)
Journal Article

In experimental laboratory studies we evaluate a possibility of making electrical wires from living plants. In scoping experiments we use lettuce seedlings as a prototype model of a plant wire. We approximate an electrical potential transfer function... Read More about Towards plant wires.

How b-skeletons lose their edges (2014)
Journal Article

A b-skeleton is a proximity graphs with node neighbourhood defined by continuous-valued parameter b. Two nodes in a b-skeleton are connected by an edge if their lune-based neighbourhood contains no other nodes. With increase of b some edges a skeleto...

Route 20, autobahn 7, and slime mold: Approximating the longest roads in usa and germany with slime mold on 3-d terrains (2014)
Journal Article

A cellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a monstrously large single cell visible by an unaided eye. The slime mold explores space in parallel, is guided by gradients of chemoattractants, and propagates toward sources of nutrients along nearly...
