It is worth pointing out that the change in migration schedule from the synchronous to the asynchronous implementation is relatively ad-hoc; that the algorithm does not lose efficiency despite changing its behaviour is yet another testament to the flexibility of evolutionary algorithms.
Also, their evaluation results show that migration schedule generated by vHaul system performed well than worst-case schedule by 52% in terms of application throughput.
(What a metabolism in those intense, short-lived, beautiful, little beings!)....they'll be flying within a week, and the migration schedule is such that they won't be found at all by mid-Sep.
In the infected birds the ability to make adjustments to the digestive system may have been impaired (as revealed by the lower bite-to-dropping ratio), leading to reduced bite rates, reduced fuel storage rates and a delayed migration schedule.
Also age differences in migration schedules have been shown, with older and/or more experienced birds typically arriving earlier than younger, inexperienced ones (Lozano et al. 1996; Dittmann and Becker 2003; Smith and Moore 2005a; Balbontín et al. 2007).
And as climate change prompts a shift in creatures' migration schedules, circadian rhythms and preferred habitats — reshuffling the where and when of their calls — soundscapes are altered, too.
Authors considered two types of migration scheduling alternatives, namely sequential migration strategy and parallel migration strategy, and results shows that trade-off exist between them.
DT says T-Mobile USA is "well on schedule" in its $4 billion LTE migration for 2013 — a big part of the company's bid to refresh the T-Mobile brand under its so-called "Challenger Strategy".
The loss in tracking was mainly due to busy schedule in farm work, living in a far away hard-to-reach catchment, migration, and death after the intervention.
