Yasmin Mendoza 9-26-17 5th hour Process Paper What is an Ant Farm? An Ant Farm is known as a project to study an ant colony and the behavior each ant carries. There are many ways to start one of these colonies and many ways to maintain them. This could be a really cool science project or even a type of “pet” to have. The first thing you need is a formicarium, which is a type of transparent box thin enough to study the ants and for the ants to make their tunnels. You need three types of dirt…

ANT COLONY OTIMIZATION basics and algorithm 3.1. ACO algorithm introduction and basics The concept of ACO has been inspired by observation of real ants while wondering for food source. An ant while in search of food source lays a certain amount of pheromone trail along the path traversed. The laying of pheromone serves dual purpose to the ant. Firstly, it marks the path for other randomly moving aunts and secondly, it helps the aunt to return to its original source. Now, whenever a redundantly…

expected. The red imported fire ant was making its way into the United States. Once again, they would have to adjust to the new ways to run their industry. Originally, from the lowland areas of South America, red imported fire ants were introduced into the United States in the 1940’s.

perspectives. World Ant Farm (1990) by Yanagi and Manga Ormolu (2016) by Tang both feature different examples of highly symbolic juxtaposition to encourage their audience to reflect on culture diversity and human behaviour. Yukinori Yanagi’s World Ant Farm (Appendix 1) is a large-scale installation comprised of a diverse collection of flags of various countries. The artist has neatly created the flags by pouring sand into a labyrinth of plexiglass boxes connected by tubes. Yanagi adds ants…

Ant-Man is the textbook example of a typical Marvel superhero movie. It follows the basic, chronological three act structure that includes every cliché plot point in the book, all squeezed into a two hour blockbuster that any Marvel fan is sure to love. It covers everything from the anti-hero, an evil scientist, an elaborate break in, training montages, martial arts, fist fights, inspiring speeches, emotion, betrayal and of course, a heist. All this riddled with comedic moments and…

when you have nothing,” This is what the Ant, the one from “ The Ant and the Grasshopper” By Rob John, says about the Grasshoppers choices. When the Grasshopper didn’t prepare for what’s ahead there was consequences for his actions. The Grasshopper doesn’t listen when the Ant tries to help and doesn’t store food for winter. This shows that he is not preparing. The first reason is that the Grasshopper thinks that he is right and won’t listen to the Ant. The Ant thinks that the Grasshopper is…

outside and observe the needs that are specific to it and try fulfilling them even if those needs aren’t the same as some other system. This system-specific need is what makes it a system, such as the ant harvester colony and the city of Manchester as described by Steven Johnson in “The Myth of the Ant Queen” a complex one. Once the system transcends itself and applies the needs it requires, the system must be dynamic enough to adjust and respond to changes…

most dominant ant scavenger was found to be the Yellow Crazy Ant. A possible contributing factor of the success of the Yellow Crazy Ant is anthropogenic habitat change, by causing changes in species interactions [3]. Kent Ridge and Singapore in general has undergone much anthropogenic…
