Myxobacterial tools for social interactions.
Myxobacteria exhibit complex social traits during which large populations of cells coordinate their behaviors. An iconic example is their response to starvation: thousands of cells move by gliding motility to build a fruiting body in which vegetative cells differentiate into spores. Here we review mechanisms that the model species Myxococcus xanthus uses for cell-cell interactions, with a focus...
متن کاملSocial Interactions in Myxobacterial Swarming
Swarming, a collective motion of many thousands of cells, produces colonies that rapidly spread over surfaces. In this paper, we introduce a cell-based model to study how interactions between neighboring cells facilitate swarming. We chose to study Myxococcus xanthus, a species of myxobacteria, because it swarms rapidly and has well-defined cell-cell interactions mediated by type IV pili and by...
متن کاملPrototyping tools for hybrid interactions
In using the term 'hybrid interactions', we refer to interaction forms that comprise both tangible and intangible interactions as well as a close coupling of the physical or embodied representation with digital output. Until now, there has been no description of a formal design process for this emerging research domain, no description that can be followed during the creation of these types of i...
متن کاملRegularization tools for binary interactions
We first discuss two-body and chain regularization methods for direct N-body simulations on HARP-2 and GRAPE-6. The former is used for accurate integration of perturbed binaries and hierarchies, whereas the latter deals with strong interactions involving binaries. Combined with a powerful stability criterion for hierarchical systems, this versatile treatment provides an efficient way of studyin...
متن کاملSocial SQL: Tools for Exploring Social Databases
Social media are constructed from the collective contributions of potentially millions of individuals and present an increasingly common and large scale form of database. As these databases grow in social and technical importance exploration of their structure is needed. The social nature of much of this data is an added opportunity and challenge, providing contributions to social science quest...
