Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLoad Balancing of Distributed Systems Based on Multiple Ant Colonies OptimizationAl-Dahoud Ali, Mohamed A. Belal, Moh’d Belal Al-ZoubiProblem statement: Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) provides a meta-heuristic optimization tool and collective intelligence model to several applications such as routing and load balancing. A lot of work found in the literature on using ACO in load balancing. However, as far as our knowledge, there was no work relating load balancing in distributed systems with ACO. Approach: In this study, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,209 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHelicobacter pylori Colonization in Biopsies of the Adenotonsillectomy SpecimensM. J. Zahedi, S. Darvish Moghadam, M. Ahmadi Mosavi et al.Problem statement: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a microaerophilic, gram negative bacillus, which can cause peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. Recurrent infection with this agent is considered as one of the reasons for failure of peptic ulcer treatment. Some studies have reported colonization of H. pylori in dental plaques, tonsils and adenoid tissues. Therefore oral cavity could be the source … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,929 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStressors Influence on Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis Colonization in BroilersE. S. Soliman, E. Taha, K. D. Infante et al.Problem statement: Poultry industry usually exposing birds to a variety of actions and stressors includs fasting for gastrointestinal emptying before transportation and where birds are often exposed to high environmental temperature during the summer months. These environmental stressors may have influences on bird performance and susceptibility to pathogens such as Salmonella enteritidis by altering the intestinal micrbiota and changes in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 12 Sep 2009 · 7,187 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleApplication of the Ant Colony Search Algorithm to Reactive Power Pricing in an Open Electricity MarketA. Ketabi, A. Ali BabaeeDeveloping an accurate and feasible method for reactive power pricing is important in the electricity market. In conventional optimal power flow models the production cost of reactive power was ignored. In this study, the production cost of reactive power was comprised into the objective function of the OPF problem. Then, using ant colony search algorithm, the optimal problem was solved. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,261 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEmbedding Malaysian House Red Ant Behavior into an Ant Colony SystemZ. A. Othman, H. M. Rais, A. R. HamdanProblem statement: Ant Colony System (ACS) is the most popular algorithm used to find a shortest path solution in Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). Several ACS versions have been proposed which aim to achieve an optimum solution by adjusting pheromone levels. However, it still has a room on an improvement. This research aims to improve the algorithm by embedding individual Malaysian … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,961 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnt Colony Based Node Disjoint Hybrid Multi-path Routing for Mobile Ad Hoc NetworkB. Kalaavathi, K. DuraiswamyMobile Ad hoc Networks are characterized by multi-hop wireless links, without any infrastructure and frequent node mobility. A class of ant colony based routing protocols has recently gained attention because of their adaptability to the network changes. AntHocNet is ant colony based hybrid algorithm, which combines reactive path setup with proactive path probing, maintenance and improvement. Multi-path routing represents a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,043 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFault Tolerance Grid Scheduling with Checkpoint Based on Ant Colony SystemSaufi Bukhari, Ku Ruhana Ku-Mahamud, Hiroaki MorinoTask resubmission and checkpoint are among several popular techniques used in providing fault tolerance in grid computing. However, due to the lack of side-by-side comparison, it is not certain of the best technique that would not degrade the system performance in addition to providing fault tolerance capability. This study proposed Dynamic ACS-based Fault Tolerance in grid computing using resubmission to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 8 · 1 Sep 2017 · 7,139 accessesView PDFCite
