We investigated the relative contribution of the queen and workers to colony nestmate recognition cues and on colony insularity in the Carpenter ant Camponotus fellah. Workers were either individually isolated, preventing contact with both queen and workers (colonial deprived, CD), kept in queenless groups, allowing only worker-worker interactions (queen deprived, QD) or in queenright (QR) grou...

By generalizing the Reshetikhin and Semenov-Tian-Shansky construction to supersymmetric cases, we obtain Drinfeld current realization for quantum affine superalgebra Uq[gl(m|n) ]. We find a simple coproduct for the quantum current generators and establish the Hopf algebra structure of this super current algebra. Queen Elizabeth II Fellow; Email: [email protected]

1. In eusocial insects, colony fission is a mode of dispersal by which a young queen leaves her nest with some workers to found a new colony. In these species, adult females (workers and the queen) should allocate most resources to increasing their colony size, which constrains the possibility of fission. In contrast, developing diploid larvae should have a preference for becoming a queen and h...

Nowadays, the development of new metaheuristics for solving optimization problems is a topic of interest in the scientific community. In the literature, a large number of techniques of this kind can be found. Anyway, there are many recently proposed techniques, such as the artificial bee colony and imperialist competitive algorithm. This paper is focused on one recently published technique, the...

Several studies have shown that women in top positions tend to hinder and mistreat other women; this phenomenon is known the literature under term “Queen bee syndrome”. The aim of study investigate whether Queen syndrome also present within Italian Sports Federations. To end, an online questionnaire was administered female coaches (n = 516). From statistical analyses, it emerged 40–49 age group...
