Optimum design of structures by Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

, 2015
碩士本論文應用蜂群演算法於結構最佳化設計中。蜂群演算法是一種模仿自然界蜜蜂覓食行為進行問題求解之方法，該法為具有群體智慧的仿生演算法，其特點為收斂速度快、參數設定少及搜尋範圍廣。蜂群演算法利用其獨特的雇用蜂以及非雇用蜂的方式進行大範圍的搜尋以尋求全域最佳解。過程中藉由食物源採用機率判斷是否採用當前最佳解，如此反覆搜尋直到找到全域最佳解為止。本研究將ANSYS有限元素分析軟體中的APDL語法與FORTRAN程式結合成一系統程式，並以六種不同的範例執行結構最佳化設計。數值範例中將對各種結構做分析與討論 ...

Embracing complexity in transfusion research

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Complexity science investigates how complex systems behave and how we interact with them. Its implementation in clinical transfusion research is limited, even though human cells, organ systems, bodies, hospitals and blood supply systems are all examples of complex systems.

A discrete artificial bee colony algorithm for RFID network scheduling

, 2012
The operation of RFID systems often involves a situation in which multiple readers physically located near one another may interfere with one another's operation. Such reader collision must be minimized to avoid the faulty or miss reads.

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1735-1759, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1937-1959, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Pastoralist views and positions on coexistence with large carnivores. An overview from conflict areas across Europe

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2200-2211, July 2026.
Abstract While large carnivore expansion is a conservation success, it increasingly challenges pastoralism. Beyond economic value, pastoralism provides critical biodiversity and sociocultural benefits, recognized by the UN and the EU's ‘High Nature Value farming’ designation.

Clustering Approach Based On Von Neumann Topology Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

, 2011
Article Bee Colony (ABC) is one of the most recently introduced algorithms based on the intelligent foraging behavior of a honey bee swarm. This paper proposes a new variant of the ABC algorithm based on Von Neumann topology structure, namely Von Neumann
