1. 1. Optimization of a sampling and analysis process to study the effects of skin care products on the microbial skin flora.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Emma Gifvars; [2021]
   Keywords : Method development; Method optimization; Microbial skin flora; Biotechnology; PCR analysis; Quantification of bacteria; Degree project in applied microbiology; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Vår hud är hem för en stor grupp av mikroorganismer, hudens mikroflora, som påverkar vår hälsa och vårt välbefinnande. Ändå finns det många aspekter av detta ämne som ännu är outforskade. READ MORE

3. 2. Simulated evolution of food foraging strategies of army ants

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Alvin Häger; Adam Torkkeli-Johansson; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Many ant species make use of pheromone trails to coordinate food raids, which result in emergent behaviour in the form of complex, dynamic foraging patterns. The foraging behaviour of army ants, in particular, can be modelled as a ’central foraging problem’, where ants leave the nest to collect and bring back food. READ MORE

4. 3. Ant Colony Optimization - Optimal Number of Ants

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Lars Pettersson; Christoffer Lundell Johansson; [2018]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The focus of this thesis paper is to study the impact the number of ants has on the found solution of the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic when solving the Traveling Salesman Problem. The goal was to find out how the length of the computed tours change for different amounts of ants within a limited number of iterations. READ MORE

5. 4. Ant Colony Optimization Algorithms : Pheromone Techniques for TSP

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för datavetenskap och kommunikation (CSC)

   Author : Felix Kollin; Adel Bavey; [2017]
   Keywords : aco; tsp; ant colony optimization;

   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

6. 5. Evaluating pheromone intensities and 2-opt local search for the Ant System applied to the Dynamic Travelling Salesman Problem

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för datavetenskap och kommunikation (CSC)

   Author : Erik R. Svensson; Klas Lagerqvist; [2017]
   Keywords : ACO; Ant System; Traveling Salesman Problem; Dynamic Traveling Salesman Problem; 2-opt local search; Handelsresandeproblemet; Dynamiska Handelsresandeproblemet;

   Abstract : Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms have been successful in solving a wide variety of NPhard optimization problems. The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) has served as a benchmarking problem for many novel ACO algorithms. READ MORE
