Learning from nature : experimental observation of mimosa pudica by Zhang, Yi

“…Remarkably, the partial pinna stimulation demonstrated a twofold increase in closing time in comparison to entire pinna stimulation, which implied the stimulation contact area did play a significant part in pinna closing time but had no effect on pinna reopening time. …”

Automatic program repair and synthesis using genetic programming by Lee, Yue Yu

“…Since the end goal would be to produce a compilable and runnable patched program from a previously buggy one, variables used for patch synthesis would need to be obtained from the original buggy program, and patches generated would need to be in the same programming language as well. …”

Modelling cerebrovascular pathology and the spread of amyloid beta in Alzheimer’s disease by Ahern, A, Thompson, TB, Oliveri, H, Lorthois, S, Goriely, A

“…Here, we develop a brain-wide model that combines protein-capillary interactions with the prion-like dynamics of amyloid beta in the structural connectome. We find that a bistable dynamics emerges from the amyloid betahypoperfusion feedback loop giving rise to nontrivial spatio-temporal dynamics. …”

Lane formation and aggregation spots in a model of ants by Bruna, M, Burger, M, de Wit, O

“…Remarkably, the mean-field PDE not only supports aggregation spots and lane formation but also unveils a bistable region where these two behaviors compete. …”

Cellular automata in photonic cavity arrays by Li, Jing, Liew, Timothy Chi Hin

“…The state of the system is recorded making use of the bistability of driven cavities, in which losses are fully compensated by an external continuous drive. …”
