1. Detecting Pollutants Using Vibrations : Laser Doppler Vibrometry as a Non-Invasive Soil Organism Health Monitoring Method
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : Due to a lack of in-situ methods capable of detecting sub-lethal effects of pollutants on soil organisms, many polluted environments are not identified prior to pollution-induced changes in the soil fauna. Therefore, there is a need to develop new non-invasive methods to measure the health of soil organisms. READ MORE

2. Ant Colony Optimization Algorithms : Pheromone Techniques for TSP
University essay from KTH/Skolan för datavetenskap och kommunikation (CSC)Abstract : Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) uses behaviour observed in real-life ant colonies in order to solve shortest path problems. Short paths are found with the use of pheromones, which allow ants to communicate indirectly. READ MORE

3. Using ant colonies for solve the multiprocessor task graph scheduling
University essay from DatateknikAbstract : The problem of scheduling a parallel program presented by a weighted directed acyclic graph (DAG) to the set of homogeneous processors for minimizing the completion time of the program has been extensively studied as academic optimization problem which occurs in optimizing the execution time of parallel algorithm with parallel computer.In this paper, we propose an application of the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) to a multiprocessor scheduling problem (MPSP).
