The purpose of this study was to elucidate the factors affecting antimicrobial effectiveness of essential oils against food spoilage and pathogenic bacteria. The minimum inhibition concentrations (MIC) of the essential oils, were determined by turbidimetric technique using Biocreen C, analyzer. The effects of pH ranging from 7.3 to 5.5 in absence and presence of essential oils and/or NaCl on th...

Optimal foraging theory aims to elucidate strategies that maximize resource intake. Although traditionally used to understand animal foraging behavior, recent evolutionary experiments with viruses offer a new twist on an old idea.

In this demo, we show the emergence of Swarm Intelligence in physical robots. We transferred an optimization algorithm which is based on bee-foraging behavior to a robotic swarm with the advantage that this algorithm, and so the actual robots, do not require input of environmental parameters (e.g., pheromones).

To improve the protein folding simulations, polymorphic bacterial chemotaxis optimization (PBCO) was investigated on a 2D lattice model. PBCO is a novel intelligent problem solving technique inspired from the foraging behavior of bacteria. We compared PBCO with standard genetic algorithm (SGA) and Immune Genetic Algorithm (IGA) for various chain lengths. It shows that PBCO has the highest succe...
