A Predictive Model for Yeast Cell Polarization in Pheromone Gradients. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2016 Budding yeast cells exist in two mating types, a and α, which use peptide pheromones to communicate with each other during mating. Mating depends on the ability of cells to polarize up pheromone gradients, but cells also respond to spatially uniform ...

Ant colony optimisation and local search for bin-packing and cutting stock problems [PDF]
, 2003 The Bin Packing Problem and the Cutting Stock Problem are two related classes of NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. Exact solution methods can only be used for very small instances, so for real-world problems, we have to rely on heuristic ...

An effective ant-colony based routing algorithm for mobile ad-hoc network [PDF]
, 2008 An effective Ant-Colony based routing algorithm for mobile ad-hoc network is proposed in this paper. In this routing scheme, each path is marked by path grade, which is calculated from the combination of multiple constrained QoS parameters such as the ...

Identification and Expression Profiles of Sex Pheromone Biosynthesis and Transport Related Genes in Spodoptera litura. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Although the general pathway of sex pheromone synthesis in moth species has been established, the molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. The common cutworm Spodoptera litura is an important agricultural pest worldwide and causes huge economic ...

Ant colony optimisation-based radiation pattern manipulation algorithm for electronically steerable array radiator antennas [PDF]
, 2009 A new algorithm for manipulating the radiation pattern of Electronically Steerable Array Radiator Antennas is proposed. A continuous implementation of the Ant Colony Optimisation (ACO) technique calculates the optimal impedance values of reactances ...
