Abstract Cooperative breeding may be selected for in animals when, on average, it confers greater benefits than solitary breeding.In a number of eusocial insects (i.e., ants, bees, wasps, and termites), queens join together to co-create new nests, a phenomenon known as colony co-founding.It has been hypothesised that co-founding evolved because que
Abstract Lag-1 sparing is a common exception to the attentional blink, where a target presented directly after T1 can be identified and reported accurately.Prior work has proposed Collections potential mechanisms for lag 1 sparing, including the boost and bounce model and the attentional gating model.Here, we apply a rapid serial visual presentatio
For many years, technological progress has been observed in the field of minimizing energy consumption by devices and increasing the efficiency of energy generation from freely available sources.Energy harvesting (EH) is one of the ways to increase the energy available in vehicles.The manuscript presents the results of a series of laboratory tests
A feedforward neural network ensemble trained through metaheuristic algorithms has been proposed by researchers to produce a group of optimal neural networks.This Goalie - Protective method, however, has proven to be very time-consuming during the optimization process.To overcome this limitation, we propose a metaheuristic-based learning algorithm
