Cuckoo search via Levy flights applied to uncapacitated facility location problem

Facility location problem (FLP) is a mathematical way to optimally locate facilities within a set of candidates to satisfy the requirements of a given set of clients. This study addressed the uncapacitated FLP as it assures that the capacity of every selected facility is finite. Thus, even if the demand is not known, which often is the case, in reality, organizations may still be able to take s...

A Hybrid Data Clustering Algorithm Using Modified Krill Herd Algorithm and K-MEANS

Data clustering is the process of partitioning a set of data objects into meaning clusters or groups. Due to the vast usage of clustering algorithms in many fields, a lot of research is still going on to find the best and efficient clustering algorithm. K-means is simple and easy to implement, but it suffers from initialization of cluster center and hence trapped in local optimum. In this paper...

Lévy flight movement patterns in marine predators may derive from turbulence cues.

The Lévy-flight foraging hypothesis states that because Lévy flights can optimize search efficiencies, natural selection should have led to adaptations for Lévy flight foraging. Some of the strongest evidence for this hypothesis has come from telemetry data for sharks, bony fish, sea turtles and penguins. Here, I show that the programming for these Lévy movement patterns does not need to be ver...

Diel dive depth in penguins in relation to diel vertical migration

Diel vertical migration by zooplankton is thought to allow manne animals to exploit the more abundant food resources in the upper water strata at night while minimizing predation from optically orientating predators. Contrary to this, consistantly shallower dives at night made by marine reptiles, mammals, and birds have been attributed to enhanced feeding conditions as predators exploit prey th...

Scale of inference: on the sensitivity of habitat models for wide- ranging marine predators to the resolution of environmental data

large migratory fish must reflect the multiple, nested spatial and temporal scales over which animal–environment interactions occur to be accurate and therefore useful in marine spatial planning. Accordingly, both static (e.g. depth) and dynamic (e.g. sea surface temperature, SST) environmental variables are widely used in model construction (Michael et al. 2014). Remotely-sensed data fields ar...
