Most of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) do not fully explore the potential of searching ability and are time consuming. This paper presents a fast bacteria-inspired optimisation algorithm: Paired-Bacteria Optimiser (PBO), which incorporates the underly

Shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli emerged as new food borne pathogens in the early 1980s, primarily driven by the dispersal of Shiga toxin-encoding lambdoid bacteriophages. At least some of these Stx phages display superinfection phenotypes, which diff

An individual-based model (IbM) for bacterial adaptation and evolution, COSMIC-Rules, has been employed to simulate interactions of virtual temperate bacteriophages (phages) and their bacterial hosts. Outcomes of infection mimic those of a phage such

Nature-inspired optimization algorithms, notably evolutionary algorithms (EAs), have been widely used to solve various scientific and engineering problems because of to their simplicity and flexibility. Here we report a novel optimization algorithm,

This paper presents a novel optimization algorithm: a group search optimizer (GSO) for training an artificial neural network (ANN) used for diagnosis of breast cancer. The GSO is inspired by animal social searching behaviour. Its global search perfor

Optimal power flow (OPF) problem has already been attempted as a static optimization problem, by adopting conventional gradient-based methods and more recently, nonconventional ones, such as evolutionary algorithms. However, as the loads, generation

The key virulence factor in Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli is the expression of Shiga toxin (Stx), which is conferred by Stx-encoding temperate lambdoid phages (Stx-phages). It had been assumed that Stx-phages would behave similarly to lambda phage

Ray Paton oversaw the creation of a long lineage of Individual-based Models (IbMs) and this paper discusses the five most successful. All of these concern the development of adaptation, covering both evolutionary time and organism lifetime (somatic t

Bacterial populations meet the challenges of dynamic spatially heterogeneous environments with fluctuating biotic and abiotic factors in a number of ways. The motivation for the work presented here has been to transfer ideas from bacterial adaptabili

The application of pig slurry, high in ammonia-nitrogen concentration, to agricultural land is a practice whose effect on soil microbial communities is poorly understood. The autotrophic ammonia-oxidising bacteria are an integral component of the nit
