The computational study of the Migraine Aura and the Cortical Spreading Depression Phenomenon is discussed in this review. A brief discussion of the relevant neurological background is given first and afterwards the existing computational models are described and criticized. The discussion is then extended in an effort to explore modifications to these models and new modeling possibilities. Fin...

We report on modulational instability (MI) on a DNA charge transfer model known as the Peyrard-Bishop-Holstein (PBH) model. In the continuum approximation, the system reduces to a modified Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger (mKGS) system through which linear stability analysis is performed. This model shows some possibilities for the MI region and the study is carried out for some values of the nearest-n...

This thesis discusses how networks can be searched via methods of spreading activation. Networks, often represented as graphs, are datasets consisting of data objects (nodes or vertices) and the relations among them (edges). In many areas, e.g. information retrieval, networks are searched according to specific queries for related, interesting and relevant data objects, by applying methods such ...

This paper demonstrates a biologicallyand psychologicallyinspired human-like computational memory focusing on the retrieval mechanisms – Spreading Activation and Compound Cue for a companion agent’s episodic memory (EM) that helps the agent to manage it’s memory more efficiently and enable it to have a more natural interaction with the user.

The volume of a submarine landslide is likely to be amplified by shear band propagation along basal surface or spreading failure extension in the sliding layer. Although mechanism translational landslides has been understood using interpretation propagation, assessment limits extension, either through retrogressive spreading, remains challenge due diversity post mechanisms. paper aims explore a...

cortical spreading depression (csd) are associated with dramatic failure of brain ion homeostasis, efflux of excitatory amino acids from nerve cells, increased energy metabolism and changes in cerebral blood flow. there is strong clinical and experimental evidence to suggest that csd is involved in the mechanism of migraine, stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury. therefore,...

flood water contains high amount of sediment affecting the fertility of the coarse grain alluvial fans and flood plains through increasing nutrients. in this study, the effects of the flood water spreading on the soil nutrients recovery were investigated during 10 years (2004-2014) at the poldasht flood spreading station of west azarbaijan in iran. flooded three upper strips were selected at th...

Biologically inspired algorithms (neural networks, evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence, etcetera) are commonly applied in development of digital games. We argue that there are opportunities and possibilities for integrating real biological organisms inside computer games, with potential added value to the game’s player, developer and integrated organism. In this approach, live organism...
