... tropism in which the virus replicates in a particular tissue or organ, but not another is known as tissue tropism ...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Microbiologie et parasitologie
CONT

Le tropisme tissulaire peut être attribué, dans certains cas, aux propriétés des tissus, par exemple la présence de récepteurs cellulaires spécifiques (ex. la fibronectine qui a une affinité pour les bactéries Gram positif). Dans d'autres cas, ce sont les propriétés physiques, telles que la température de l'organe, qui déterminent ce tropisme.

Record 6 2010-02-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

We define a tropistic agent in an environment by a 6-tuple of the form shown below. The set S here includes all of the states of the external world, T is a set of partitions of S, A is a set of actions, see is a function that maps S into T, do is a function from A x S into S, and action is a function from T into A. (S,T,A,see,do,action) We can summarize the operation of a tropistic agent as follows. On each cycle, the agent's environment is in a state s. The agent observes the partition t corresponding to see(s). It uses action to find the action a appropriate to t. Then, it executes this action, thereby producing the state do(a,s). Then the cycle repeats.
