Division of labour in ant colonies in terms of attractive fields (2009)
Journal Article
Arcaute, E., Christensen, K., Sendova-Franks, A. B., Dahl, T., Espinosa, A., & Jensen, H. J. (2009). Division of labour in ant colonies in terms of attractive fields. Ecological Complexity, 6(4), 396-402. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecocom.2008.10.001

In nature there exist many mechanisms giving rise to self-regulation. One such mechanism is the division of labour in insect societies. Within this work we propose a mathematical model for the allocation of tasks in ant colonies, where each of the ta...

Symbionts of societies that fission: Mites as guests or parasites of army ants (2009)
Journal Article
Berghoff, S. M., Wurst, E., Ebermann, E., Sendova-Franks, A. B., Rettenmeyer, C. W., & Franks, N. R. (2009). Symbionts of societies that fission: Mites as guests or parasites of army ants. Ecological Entomology, 34(6), 684-695. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2311.2009.01125.x

Recently, Hughes et al. (Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 23, 672-677, 2008) have theorised that symbionts of large, long-lived, homeostatic, and well defended social insect colonies should mostly be of low virulence. If the symbionts are rare, i.e. fe... Read More about Symbionts of societies that fission: Mites as guests or parasites of army ants.

A review of wave energy converter technology (2009)
Journal Article
Sahinkaya, M. N., Plummer, A. R., & Drew, B. (2009). A review of wave energy converter technology. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy, 223(8), 887-902. https://doi.org/10.1243/09576509JPE782

Ocean waves are a huge, largely untapped energy resource, and the potential for extracting energy from waves is considerable. Research in this area is driven by the need to meet renewable energy targets, but is relatively immature compared to other r... Read More about A review of wave energy converter technology.

Upper bounds for α-domination parameters (2009)
Journal Article
Gagarin, A., Poghosyan, A., & Zverovich, V. (2009). Upper bounds for α-domination parameters. Graphs and Combinatorics, 25(4), 513-520. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00373-009-0864-6

We provide a new upper bound for the α-domination number in terms of a parameter α, 0 < α ≤ 1, and graph vertex degrees. This result generalises the well-known Caro-Roditty bound for the domination number of a graph. The same probabilistic constructi... Read More about Upper bounds for α-domination parameters.

Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, 62(12), 1627-1635. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bjps.2008.07.046

The advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has dramatically improved the life expectancy of people infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Although patients often have excellent disease control with these combinations of ant...

Truly autonomous robotic systems will be required to abstract energy from the environment in order to function. Energetic autonomy refers to the ability of an agent, to maintain itself in a viable state for long periods of time. Its behaviour must be... Read More about Artificial symbiosis in EcoBots.
