Simulating the Tumor Growth with Cellular Automata Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, two types of cellular automata are studied in order to describe the 2-dimensional free growth of an avascular tumor under the effect of a limited nutrient source. On one hand a deterministic cellular automata approach is used. On the other hand a stochastic one is presented. An existing reaction-diffusion model including cell proliferation, motility and death is used. Finally, a numerical simulations that show the difference between these approaches are discussed.

Urban Growth Modeling using Integrated Cellular Automata and Gravitational Search Algorithm (Case Study: Shiraz City, Iran)
Cities are growing and encountering many changes over time due to population growth and migration. Identification and detection of these changes play important roles in urban management and sustainable development. Urban growth models are divided into two main categories: first cellular models which are further divided into experimental, dynamic, and integrated models and second vector models. ...
متن کاملModeling Urban Sprawling of Tehran Metropolitan Area Based on PSO
The main goal of the present study was to implement a hybrid pattern of cellular automata model and particle swarm optimization algorithm based on TM and ETM+ imagery of landsat satellite from 1988 to 2010 for simulating the urban sprawling. In this study, an alternative model was implemented in two ways: the first method was based on two images (1988 and 2010) and the second one was based on t...
متن کاملA 3-D model of tumor progression based on complex automata driven by particle dynamics
The dynamics of growing tumor involving mechanical remodeling of healthy tissue and vasculature is neglected in most of the existing tumor models. This is due to the lack of efficient computational framework allowing for simulation of mechanical interactions. Meanwhile, just these interactions trigger critical changes in tumor growth dynamics and are responsible for its volumetric and direction...

متن کاملSimulating Urban Growth Using a Random Forest-Cellular Automata (RF-CA) Model
Sustainable urban planning and management require reliable land change models, which can be used to improve decision making. The objective of this study was to test a random forest-cellular automata (RF-CA) model, which combines random forest (RF) and cellular automata (CA) models. The Kappa simulation (KSimulation), figure of merit, and components of agreement and disagreement statistics were ...
