Abstract Beta-endorphin (β-END) is an opioid neuropeptide which has an important role in
the development of hypotheses concerning the non-synaptic or paracrine communication of …

This paper proposes a way to incorporate the idea of spiking neurons into the area of
membrane computing, and to this aim we introduce a class of neural-like P systems which …

Every field has brief formulas or relationships that are useful for back-of-the-envelope
calculations. Rarely do these maxims become popular knowledge; even more rarely do they …

Multiplication is the most resource-hungry operation in neural networks (NNs). Logarithmic
multipliers (LMs) simplify multiplication to shift and addition operations and thus reduce the …

Nanofluids have attracted much attention of researchers during the past years due to its
excellent properties. Albeit many theoretical and experimental examinations were …

Alan Turing's fundamental contributions to computing led to the development of modern
computing technology, and his work continues to inspire researchers in computing science …

'In a short life he accomplished much, and to the roll of great names in the history of his
particular studies added his own.'So is described one of the greatest figures of the twentieth …

The theory of computation that we have inherited from the 1960s focuses on algorithmic
computation as embodied in the Turing Machine to the exclusion of other types of …

Alan Turing (1912–1954) never described himself as a philosopher, but his 1950 paper
“Computing Machinery and Intelligence” is one of the most frequently cited in modern …

We bring together two topics recently introduced in membrane computing, the much
investigated spiking neural P systems (in short, SN P systems), inspired from the way the …
