Abstract We transform the problem of seeking the planar wave speed in general excitable media into a cubically algbraic equation, thus we can find the explicit representation of the planar wave speed (in one-dimensional case, the traveling wave speed) and dispersive relation. Especially for a few typical excitable media, we give the formula for calculating the corresponding wave speed.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
