Ant colony optimization

2.RELATED WORK The artificial bee colony (ABC), an optimization technique is based upon the intelligent moving behavior of honey bee swarm was proposed by Karaboga in 2005. This kind of new Meta heuristic is inspired by the clever foraging behavior of honey bee swarm. The criteria presented in the work is for numerical function optimization. The advantage of ABC is that the global search ability in the algorithm is implemented by introducing neighborhood source production mechanism. Rao et al.…

which will simultaneously upgrade the voltage at every bus, following methodology is opted which also includes the calculation of required shunt compensation. There are two cases: Case 1: Base case The problem formed is a non linear constrained optimization problem. Interior point method is used to solve this problem. The interior-point approach to constrained minimization is to solve a sequence of approximate minimization problems. It reaches a best solution by traversing the interior of the…

Angular Acceleration is described as the rate of change of angular velocity, it is also recognized as rotational acceleration. According to the author the magnitudes and lengths of angular acceleration vectors are proportional to the rate of change of angular velocity. Depending on the direction in which an object such a platter is rotation the angular acceleration could be pointing toward or away the observer, in this lab we are going to be investigating the rotational motion for which a dish…

The general model introduced in Fig.4.10 is commonly used to design stable high-order modulators. If a chain of integrators is used to form the loop filter, two main modulators typologies exist [1, 5, 8]: a cascade of M delaying integrators is used to form the filter, where the feedback and the input signals are being fed to each integrator input with different weight factors a_i and b_i (Fig.4.11). The transfer function of the signal filter, L_0, is: while the feedback filter L_1 can be…

experiences and ways of thinking. Malcolm Gladwell, in “The Power of Context,” emphasizes the theory that the roles of the environment can impact the decisions and behaviors of human beings. And this is shown in, Steven Johnson’s, “The Myth of the Ant Queens” and Karen Ho’s, “Biographies of Hegemony.” It is said that, that a decision to commit a crime is more likely to emerge in disordered and vandalized environment, while an orderly and clean environment motivates people to adhere to social…

powerful tool of emergent intelligence of a self-organizing system, a booming society emerges not with the help of one individual but, with the entire system working as a whole. As seen by in Steven Johnson and Cathy Davidson reading, “The Myth of the Ant Queens” and “Project Classroom Makeover respectively, shows that they both want to remove inhibitor of group intelligence and progress, in the attempt to create a more adaptive society. However, Johnson and Davidson embody the very nature that…

We all know the fable of the Grasshopper and the Ant. The grasshopper spends all his summer partying while the ant toils to store up for winter. The result is income inequality and one starving insect, in the scenario there has not been any injustice done. Nothing the ant did caused the grasshopper 's demise. The grasshopper 's rights were never trampled on. He was free to use his time as he pleased and so he did, as did the ant. That they fared differently during winter is a direct result…

What separated the Ant from the Grasshopper was the Ant’s refusal to live in the now. Its animalistic nature to survive compelled the Ant to work diligently to store a supply of nourishment for the winter season again. On the other hand, the Grasshopper enjoyed feeling “alive” (Conklin, 2010, p. 60) and conducted himself in a recreational manner, though he witnessed the Ant’s effort to labor for its future. “Why bother about winter?” said the Grasshopper; “we have got plenty of food at present”…

shown below? Nobody have ever thought about this design before! Topology Optimization may be an architectural tool rather a material saving script. In fact,the current approach is to ease and sharpen the results of the topology optimization process to make them applicable into reality despite its funky outputs (cite), exactly as shown in the layout below. All we need is an extra post-processing in implementing the optimization results into…

In the architectural, engineering and construction industry there is a growing awareness that the effective design of sustainable buildings results from an accurate optimization process of all the variables that are involved and interrelated in meeting the various sustainability goals in the field of energy, indoor environmental quality, water management, and sustainable materials [1][2]. For that reason, current frameworks for the building design process rely on a high degree of…
