Monte Carlo simulation of the rise and the fall of languages
Christian Schulze, Dietrich Stauffer
Similar to biological evolution and speciation we define a language through a string of 8 or 16 bits. The parent gives its language to its children, apart from a random mutation fr…
Scaling effects in the Penna ageing model
A. Laszkiewicz, S. Cebrat, D. Stauffer
We have analysed the possibility of scaling the sexual Penna ageing model. Assuming that the number of genes expressed before the reproduction age grows linearly with the genome si…
Does telomere elongation in cloned organisms lead to a longer lifespan if cancer is considered ?
M. Masa, S. Cebrat, D. Stauffer
... By additionally considering a two-mutation model for carcinogenesis and indefinite proliferation by the activation of telomerase, we demonstrate that the risk of dying doe to c…
Simulation and Experiment of Extinction or Adaptation
D. Stauffer, H. Arndt
Can unicellular organisms survive a drastic temperature change, and adapt to it after many generations? In simulations of the Penna model of biological ageing, both extinction and…
Number of spanning clusters at the high-dimensional percolation thresholds
Santo Fortunato, Amnon Aharony, Antonio Coniglio +1
A scaling theory is used to derive the dependence of the average number <k> of spanning clusters at threshold on the lattice size L. This number should become independent of L for…
Altruism and Antagonistic Pleiotropy in Penna Ageing Model
Stanislaw Cebrat, Dietrich Stauffer
The Penna ageing model is based on mutation accumulation theory. We show that it also allows for self-organization of antagonistic pleiotropy which helps at young age at the expens…
