In this chapter an overview on the Bee Colony Optimization (BCO) method is presented. In the first introductory section the development of the BCO algorithm is given, with an overview on history of mathematical model based on discovered behavior patterns in bees in early 1940s. The aim here is to remind of first steps made in solving of optimization problems by BCO and what kind of changes were performed to obtain the current versions of the BCO method. In the second section two variants of the…

1. Maintains an exact replica of one disk on another offering 100% fault tolerance. 2. Data redundancy - If one disk fails, data can be recovered from the other. 3. Fault tolerance - Even when one disk fails, the other one can continue functioning and the system continues to function. 4. Quick recreating data when a disk is replaced 1. Reduced data storage capacity a Raid 1 disks capacity is half the physical disk capacity. 2. Raid 1 is slower as it does not improve read or write speeds. 1.…

often focus on becoming successful in the virtual world that playing computer games often comes before schoolwork. The increase in technology: Technology is a machine or useful piece of equipment that is used to solve problems (Merriam-Webster.com, 2015). According to Hopey (1999), the use of technology has grown exponentially in the past few years. Along with the increase of technology, it has been found that the use of computers and internet worldwide has grown by 46% in the last 20 years…

One of the topics throughout Anthem is the importance of knowledge. This is mentioned throughout the whole book, subtly and boldly said. The government leaves out important education and technology from before the “Great Rebirth”. (Rand, p. 19) This creates a lack of knowledge. Equality 7-2521 fills this void of knowledge through his own experiments in the tunnel. In the end knowledge fuels the climax. The importance of knowledge is important to the book. The government withholds important…

The Greatest Invention of All Time The greatest invention of all time is the printing press, the printing press is the greatest invention of all time for a few reasons. The printing press allowed people to purchase books for a cheaper price and to learn more without having a teacher telling them what they need to know. The invention of the printing press also made a lot of the stories and information that people spread a lot more precise and correct. Before the printing press came to be,…

for all 15 computers would run $75,000 • Training for all employees would cost $25,000. • The cost of hiring one a new tech would be $175,000. Assigned to work under Dave’s team • The cost of a new hardware service policy (to reduce outage times) would be $20.000 more a year.  The total cost would be $295,000; leaving $105,00 leftover for end of the year shortfalls. Bias Impacts The bias that could impact this alternative…

Task 9 For this task I must compare the usefulness of maintaining a database with MySQL compared with if I were to use the query language (QBE). For this task I will need to evaluate the advantages for both the languages, as well as the disadvantages, to find a conclusion which is evenly presented for both of the languages. Advantages and Disadvantages Although the two languages interlink in many different ways they have many different features that must be noticed by the user before the use of…

I recently visited the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco to gain a new perspective on what we learned in Anthropology this semester. In this paper I will be discussing the Human Origin exhibit that is currently being shown at The Academy of Sciences and how it relates to all that I have learned this semester. This particular exhibit shows the various physical forms that hominins took as they evolved over 4 million years ago. I loved being able to see in person the actual skulls on…

security of life, is the basic instinct of all creatures. A chameleon camouflages to survive, a porcupine flares its needles to survive, and an artificial intelligence learns to survive. In Stanley Kubrick’s, 2001: A Space Odyssey, HAL 9000, the computer program running the ship, becomes fearful and even hateful of humans once he discovers that the astronauts on board plan to shut him down. He attempts to eradicate them, but to no avail. A.I.s such as this one are being developed right now by…

Eagleman ends this chapter by comparing our minds to a robot. The speed of our circuits improved by the automatization of tasks - our ability to do things instinctively. Our circuit is also energy efficient because our unconscious does much of the work so we don’t have to think about everything we do. Everytime unconscious learning occurs, we burn a new program into the circuit board, and the tasks becomes automated. The fourth chapter, called “The Kinds of Thoughts That Are Unthinkable”,…
