Turing Equation Explains how Leopard Spots Develop
BilZ0r writes "A slight modification of an equation developed by Alan Turing in 1952 has been used to show how the patterns of big cats change from kitten to adult markings. Sy-Sang Liaw of National Chung-Hsing University in Taichung, Taiwan, and colleagues set out to replicate these patterns using Turing's equations. But they found they had to do more than just tweak the parameters of the reaction-diffusion equation. Instead they had to assume two stages of spot growth with different rules: the first to get the baby cats their spots, and the second to create the final configurations. It took them a year to find a final solution."
Does it run linux?
Oh, wait...
She did both holes?
The rouge entity Linux is part of the GNU Project. Do not lend support and credibility to commercialized, non-free Linux distributions backed by MS thugs by refering to it as Linux. Linux is GNU/Linux.
