Four single-stage formulations are proposed to solve the s... Read More about Single-stage formulations for synchronised two-stage lot sizing and scheduling in soft drink production.

Do ants need to be old and experienced to teach? (2012)
Journal Article
Marshall, J. A., Robinson, E. J., Franklin, E. L., Sendova-Franks, A. B., & Franks, N. R. (2012). Do ants need to be old and experienced to teach?. Journal of Experimental Biology, 215(8), 1287-1292. https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.064618

Learning is widespread in invertebrates. However, whether social insects improve their recruitment skills with experience is only beginning to be investigated. Tandem running is a one-to-one form of recruitment used by certain species of ant. It is a... Read More about Do ants need to be old and experienced to teach?.

Traffic instabilities in self-organized pedestrian crowds (2012)
Journal Article
Moussaïd, M., Guillot, E., Moreau, M., Fehrenbach, J., Chabiron, O., Lemercier, S., …Theraulaz, G. (2012). Traffic instabilities in self-organized pedestrian crowds. PLoS Computational Biology, 8(3), e1002442. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1002442

In human crowds as well as in many animal societies, local interactions among individuals often give rise to self-organized collective organizations that offer functional benefits to the group. For instance, flows of pedestrians moving in opposite di... Read More about Traffic instabilities in self-organized pedestrian crowds.
