On the decomposition of stochastic cellular automata

In this paper we present two interesting properties of stochastic cellular automata that can be helpful in analyzing the dynamical behavior of such automata. The first property allows for calculating cell-wise probability distributions over the state set of a stochastic cellular automaton, i.e. images that show the average state of each cell during the evolution of the stochastic cellular automaton. The second property shows that stochastic cellular automata are equivalent to so-called stochastic mixtures of deterministic cellular automata. Based on this property, any stochastic cellular automaton can be decomposed into a set of deterministic cellular automata, each of which contributes to the behavior of the stochastic cellular automaton.Comment: Submitted to Journal of Computation Science, Special Issue on Cellular Automata Application

Inherited congenital goiter in mice.

Congenital goiter (cog), a new autosomal recessive mutation in mice, has been mapped to the central region of chromosome 15. Young adult mutant mice are characterized by a reduced rate of growth, mild anemia, hypothyroidism, as indicated by significantly lower total serum T4 and T3, and elevated serum TSH. Thyroids from mutant mice are hypertrophied, deficient in colloid, show a reduced accumulation of iodine that is partially susceptible to perchlorate ion discharge, have modestly elevated serum immunoreactive thyroglobulin (Tg) levels, but are markedly deficient in glandular immunoreactive Tg content. Thyroid hormone therapy corrects the growth deficiency and prevents the thyroid hypertrophy resulting from excessive stimulation by TSH. These findings suggest that the cog mutant gene results in primary hypothyroidism in response to either defective synthesis or processing of Tg
