Some parasite cuckoo species lay eggs that, to the human eye, appear to mimic the appearance of the eggs of their favourite hosts, which hinders discrimination and removal of their eggs by host species. Hitherto, perception of cuckoo-host egg mimicry has been estimated based on human vision or spectrophotometry, which does not account for what the receivers' eye (i.e. hosts) actually discrimina...

Offloading computation from smartphones to remote cloud resources has recently been rediscovered as a technique to enhance the performance of smartphone applications, while reducing the energy us-

Why some lineages have diversified into larger numbers of species than others is a fundamental but still relatively poorly understood aspect of the evolutionary process. Coevolution has been recognized as a potentially important engine of speciation, but has rarely been tested in a comparative framework. We use a comparative approach based on a complete phylogeny of all living cuckoos to test w...

Reliability allocation to increase the total reliability has become a successful way efficiency of complex industrial system designs. A lot research in past have tackled this problem great extent. This is evident from different techniques developed so far achieve target. Stochastic metaheuristics like simulated annealing, Tabu search (TS), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Cuckoo Search (CS), ...

In recent years, cloud computing has provided a Software As A Service (SaaS) platform where the software can be reused and applied to fulfill complicated user demands according specific Quality of Services (QoS) constraints. The requirements are formulated as workflow consisting set tasks. However, many services may satisfy functionality each task; thus, searching for composition optimal servic...
