Nutritional regulation of division of labor in honey bees: toward a systems biology perspective.

Organisms adapt their behavior and physiology to environmental conditions through processes of phenotypic plasticity. In one well-studied example, the division of labor among worker honey bees involves a stereotyped yet plastic pattern of behavioral and physiological maturation. Early in life, workers perform brood care and other in-hive tasks and have large internal nutrient stores; later in l...

Labor of Division (Episode III): Faster Unsigned Division by Constants

As is well known (and seen in a previous post), compilers optimize unsigned division by constants into multiplication by a "magic number." But not all constants are created equal, and approximately 30% of divisors require magic numbers that are one bit too large, which necessitates special handling (read: are slower). Of these 30%, slightly less than half (46%) are even, which can be handled at...
