Human-Centric Computing and Information Sciences, 2017 Since cloud computing provides computing resources on a pay per use basis, a task scheduling algorithm directly affects the cost for users. In this paper, we propose a novel cloud task scheduling algorithm based on ant colony optimization that allocates ...

The Associations Between Chronic Active Lesions and White Matter Disease: A 7 Tesla Imaging Study
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The relationship between paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) and surrounding normally appearing white matter (NAWM) disease, potentially contributory to the associations seen between PRLs and clinical impairment, is underexplored. Objectives To assess whether PRLs correlate with a greater degree of NAWM injury in early MS.

Various chemical strategies to deceive ants in three Arhopala species (lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) exploiting Macaranga myrmecophytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Macaranga myrmecophytes (ant-plants) are generally well protected from herbivore attacks by their symbiotic ants (plant-ants). However, larvae of Arhopala (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) species survive and develop on specific Macaranga ant-plant species ...

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Autosomal dominant progranulin (GRN) pathogenic variants are a genetic cause of frontotemporal lobar degeneration. Though clinical trials for GRN‐related therapies are underway, there is an unmet need for biomarkers that can predict symptom onset and track disease progression.

PLoS ONE, 2013 BackgroundForaging workers of grass-cutting ants (Atta vollenweideri) regularly carry grass fragments larger than their own body. Fragment length has been shown to influence the ants' running speed and thereby the colony's food intake rate.

A continuous model of ant foraging with pheromones and trail formation
, 2014 We propose and numerically analyze a PDE model of ant foraging behavior. Ant foraging is a prime example of individuals following simple behavioral rules based on local information producing complex, organized and ``intelligent'' strategies at the ...

Metabolism And The Rise Of Fungus Cultivation By Ants [PDF]
, 2014 Most ant colonies are comprised of workers that cooperate to harvest resources and feed developing larvae. Around 50 million years ago (MYA), ants of the attine lineage adopted an alternative strategy, harvesting resources used as compost to produce ...
