It comprises an amorphous yellowish mass with networks of protoplasmic veins, programmed by spatial configurations of attracting and repelling gradients. This book demonstrates how to create experimental Physarum machines for computational geometry and optimization, distributed manipulation and transportation, and general-purpose computation. Being very cheap to make and easy to maintain, the machine also functions on a wide range of s 410 0$aWorld Scientific series on nonlinear science.$nSeries A,$pMonographs and treatises ;$vv. 74. 606 $aPhysarum 606 $aPhysarum polycephalum 606 $aComputers 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPhysarum. 615 0$aPhysarum polycephalum. 615 0$aComputers. 676 $a004 676 $a006.3/2 700 $aAdamatzky$b Andrew$0898136 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464230603321 996 $aPhysarum machines$92019530 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02787nas 2200721-a 450 001 9910137650803321 005 20251015135756.0 035 $a(CKB)110978976782039 035 $a(CONSER)---91660167- 035 $a(EXLCZ)99110978976782039 100 $a19900823b19892007 -f- - 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aEuro abstracts $ethe abstracting journal of scientific and technical publications of the Commission of the European Communities 210 $aLuxembourg $cCommission of the European Communities, DG XIII Telecommunications, Information Industries and Innovation, in association with ECOTEC Research and Consulting$d[1989]-2007 215 $a1 online resource 311 08$aPrint version: Euro abstracts (Luxembourg, Luxembourg : 1989) (DLC)###91660167 (DLC)sn#98033147 (DLC)sn 98331148 (OCoLC)22266836 1606-6340 517 1 $aEuroabstracts 531 $aEURO ABSTRACTS 606 $aScience$vAbstracts$vPeriodicals 606 $aEngineering$vAbstracts$vPeriodicals 606 $aTechnology$vAbstracts$vPeriodicals 606 $aScience 606 $aEngineering 606 $aTechnology 606 $aEngineering$2fast 606 $aScience$2fast 606 $aTechnology$2fast 606 $aNatuurwetenschappelijk onderzoek$2gtt 606 $aResearch and Development$2gtt 606 $aEuropese Unie$2gtt 606 $aEuropese Gemeenschappen$2gtt 608 $aAbstracts.$2fast 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 608 $aAbstracts.$2lcgft 608 $aPeriodicals.$2rbgenr 615 0$aScience 615 0$aEngineering 615 0$aTechnology 615 2$aScience. 615 2$aEngineering. 615 2$aTechnology. 615 7$aEngineering. 615 7$aScience. 615 7$aTechnology. 615 17$aNatuurwetenschappelijk onderzoek. 615 17$aResearch and Development. 615 17$aEuropese Unie. 615 17$aEuropese Gemeenschappen. 676 $a016.5 712 02$aECOTEC Research and Consulting Limited, 712 02$aCommission of the European Communities.$bDirectorate-General for Telecommunications, Information Industries, and Innovation, 712 02$aCommission of the European Communities.$bDirectorate-General Telecommunications, Information Market, and Exploitation of Research, 712 02$aEuropean Commission.$bDGXIII "Telecommunications, Information Market, and Exploitation of Research", 712 02$aEuropean Commission.$bInnovation Programme, 712 02$aEuropean Commission.$bEnterprise and Industry Directorate-General, 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910137650803321 920 $aexl_impl conversion 996 $aEuro abstracts$9794869 997 $aUNINA
