Automata


Definition:

  • (17) Linear stability analysis, and numerical, and cellular automata simulations reveal that as parameters are varied, a bifurcation leads to loss of stability of a uniform (isotropic) steady state, in favor of an (anisotropic) patterned state in which cells are aligned in parallel arrays.

  • (20) As an efficient alternative to partial differential equations, cellular automata have been proposed for the simulation of excitable media.

Automaton


Definition:

  • (v. i.) Any thing or being regarded as having the power of spontaneous motion or action.
  • (v. i.) A self-moving machine, or one which has its motive power within itself; -- applied chiefly to machines which appear to imitate spontaneously the motions of living beings, such as men, birds, etc.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) This leads to a notion of a "universal" hierarchically structured automaton mu which can move on a given graph in such a way as to emulate any automaton which moves on that graph in response to inputs.
  • (2) By scanning the automaton along nucleotide sequences, we can identify the positions of 5'-splice junctions with a degree of discrimination of up to 94-97% in the known genes, while the degree of prediction is in the range 50-55% in new genes.
  • (3) According to this model, the living cell is a self-moving, self-thinking and self-reproducing machine (automaton) that receives information and energy from its environment, processes them according to the genetic programs stored in DNA, and generates output signals to environment in order to realize teleonomically designed functions.
  • (4) Brownian algebra developed by Spencer-Brown (1969) is extensively used for the expression of cellular-automaton rules.

  • (6) You are not supposed to demand your ticket as if you were dealing with an automaton.
  • (7) Preliminary experiments show the discriminative power of the cluster automaton concerning sexual differences and emotivity, as well as the extensive of a basic mechanism of clustering as a collective response to stress.
  • (8) Right now gamers feel as though they are being treated as copyright violators or automatons.
  • (9) When such an automaton is linked by its input and output to a deterministic process, it always stabilizes and it then has the property to rebuild itself.
  • (10) Increasing the number of organization levels in the automaton is shown to increase its efficiency in buffering external changes, and the mechanism of modulating the processing rules appears more efficient than the mechanism of controlling the mutation rate.
  • (11) The criterion used to maintain the correct movement direction lies on the distances from the automaton position to the side boundaries (lengths of the cockshafer antennae).
  • (12) The conventional serum-dilution bactericidal test used for monitoring antibiotic therapy in severely infected in patients requires 72 h. Use of an automaton would be expected to provide faster results.
