Self-Organization of a Virtual Multicellular Organism by Adding a Shape Model in the Cellular Potts Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Cellular Potts Model (CPM) is a cellular automaton (CA) allowing to model the morphogenesis of living cells. It characterizes a cell by its volume, surface and type. The CPM has already been used to simulate several models of cell selforganization. However, the cell shape is under-constraint i.e. it does not implies a unique shape. We propose a definition and an implementation of the cell shape in the CPM, that can target a unique shape. The results of our simulations show that this target shape can structure and maintain the cellular tissue since the beginning of its growth and during its life.

Reconstruction of the neural network model of motor control for virtual C.elegans on the basis of actual organism information
Introduction: C. elegans neural network is a good sample for neural networks studies, because its structural details are completely determined. In this study, the virtual neural network of this worm that was proposed by Suzuki et al. for control of movement was reconstructed by adding newly discovered synapses for each of these network neurons. These synapses are newly discovered in the actu...
متن کاملA Method for Solving Super-Efficiency Infeasibility by Adding virtual DMUs with Mean Values
Using super-efficiency, with regard to ranking efficient units, is increasing in DEA. However, this model has some problems such as the infeasibility. Thus, this article studies infeasibility of the input-based super-efficiency model (because of the zero inputs and outputs), and presents a solution by adding two virtual DMUs with mean values (one for inputs and one for outputs). Adding virtual ...

A Virtual Organization (VO) consists of some real organizations with common interests, which aims to provide inter organizational associations to reach some common goals by sharing their resources with each other. Providing security mechanisms, and especially a suitable access control mechanism, which enforces the defined security policy is a necessary requirement in VOs. Since VO is a complex ...

Today, targeted radiation therapy (TRT) methods for cancer treatment, besides the goal of completely destroying the target tumor, attempts to prevent nearby healthy cells from exposure to ionizing radiation as far as possible. Hence, short-range charged particles, such as low-energy electrons that are suited to achieving these two goals together, play an important role in TRT and so, adoption o...
