COLONY COLLAPSE
<p>Colony Collapse is a novel about longing, loss, and the trauma we carry through the world, focusing on three characters: Daniel Amana, Logan Cassidy, and Malory Bennet as they navigate a hostile environment and attempt to find somewhere to belong, or a way to move on. It is a novel that seeks to …

System to study colony-colony interactions in embryonic stem cells
… we developed an experimental platform to study colony-colony interactions in mESCs. We have used stencil cell patterning to precisely localize mESC colonies on the culture substrate. This technique allows the formation of mESC colonies with precise shape and controllable inter-colony distances. …

Roanoke Colony: The Failure of the First British Colony in America
… which contributed to the failure of the Roanoke colony. In addition, I examine the historical background of the colonial attempt, the geographical features of Roanoke, and also the relationship between the Native Americans and the British colonists.

Colony site selection in bank swallows
Bank Swallow colony site selection was studied on a 6,129 hectare area in the Qu'Appelle Valley near Fort Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan. Comparison of 60 banks used by Bank Swallows with the 349 unused sites showed that taller, vertical, more recently excavated sites with sand or fine gravel soils and …

Racism and Abjection in the (Post) Colony
This study examines Kristeva’s notion of abjection to understand the workings of colonial racism. Given the limitations of her Eurocentric standpoint, reference will also be made to the critiques and engagements with abjection by various other scholars. Abjection, when appropriately rethought, …

Ant colony optimization for agile motion planning
… thesis investigates the suitability of the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) heuristic for the agile vehicle motion planning problem. An ACO implementation tailored to the motion planning problem was designed and tested against an existing genetic algorithm solution method for validation. Results …

Using ant colony optimization for routing in microprocesors
… of wires and vias can be minimized using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms. ACO provides a multi agent framework for combinatorial optimization problems and hence is used to handle multiple constraints of minimizing wire-length and vias to achieve the goal of minimizing capacitance and …

Parasite-host interactions in an arctic goose colony
… reproductive success in the Karrak Lake goose colony, Nunavut, Canada from 2001 to 2004. The nest parasite, identified as the flea Ceratophyllus vagabundus vagabundus, was associated with goose eggs covered with spots of blood. The proportion of goose egg-shells covered by blood was positively …

Germans in the Dutch Cape Colony, 1652-1806
… territories for good, in particular in the Cape Colony. This thesis argues that Germans were effective agents of Dutch colonialism as they adapted to Cape colonial society within a generation. Assimilation arose from the actions of the Germans themselves who aimed at greater social and economic …

Sleepers and Creepers, Colony Polymorphisms in Metarhizium robertsii
… to identify, describe, and explain the vast colony polymorphism differences observed in Metarhizium robertsii from a physical and genetic standpoint. These descriptions provide a framework to explain the colony polymorphisms seen in M. robertsii. This work is based on the observation of three …

Imperialism and Empire in Iraq: Britain’s Informal Colony.
… the fledgling state into the Empire as a formal colony. Military aid was another characteristic of imperialism present in the case of Iraq. Oil is critical to this discussion as it provided motivation and was one of the primary reasons for the British presence in Iraq. The second chapter explains …

General elections in the Cape Colony, 1898-1908
… elections in South Africa. Although the Cape Colony was only one of four British colonies which formed the Union in 1910, it was the first to evolve a system of two-party politics, and the six parliamentary general elections in the Cape Colony between 1898 and 1908 illustrate the origin and …

Potential beaver colony density in parts of Québec
… and hydrographic variables to observed beaver colony densities were developed for 3 study areas in Quebec where the effects of trapping on beaver densities were considered negligible. The first two study areas were located in mature northern hardwood forest. This research focused principally on …

Digital Filter Design Using Improved Artificial Bee Colony Algorithms
… and slower convergence rate. The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is a swarm-based search meta-heuristic algorithm inspired by the foraging behaviors of honey bee colonies, with the benefit of a relatively fewer control parameters. In its original form, the ABC algorithm has certain …

Ant colony heuristics for the dynamic facility layout problem
… proposes three heuristics based on the ant colony optimization (ACO) heuristic to solve the DFLP. The performance of the heuristics was evaluated using two data sets taken from the literature. Results obtained show that the proposed heuristics are effective for the dynamic facility layout …
