BIBLE UNDERSTANDING THROUGH BIRDS

Doves were highly prized possession

THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE-Leviticus 14:1-9 and Mathew 8:-1-4 (Imagery prefigures the sacrifice of Christ)

BIBLE UNDERSTANDING THROUGH BIRDS

CLEAN AND UNCLEAN BIRDS

Which Animals Does the Bible Designate as 'Clean' and 'Unclean'? God reveals which animalsincluding fish and birdsare suitable and unsuitable for human consumption in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14.

GENERAL DISCUSSIONS
Birds are intelligent and there is lot to learn

Wright Brothers - Birds of a Feather The Wright Brothers spent a great deal of time observing birds in flight. They noticed that birds soared into the wind and that the air flowing over the curved surface of their wings created lift. Birds change the shape of their wings to turn and maneuver. They believed that they could use this technique to obtain roll control by warping, or changing the shape, of a portion of the wing.

GENERAL DISCUSSIONS
Birds are intelligent and there is lot to learn

Whydoes flocking occur so much in nature? Energy savings: Geese in V formation have around a 70% greater range than in flying individually. Individuals can fly around 25% faster (why?).

PARTICLE SWARM INTELLIGENCE

PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMISATION (Flocking of birds)

As stated before, PSO simulates the behaviors of bird flocking. Suppose the following scenario: a group of birds are randomly searching food in an area. There is only one piece of food in the area being searched. All the birds do not know where the food is. But they know how far the food is in each iteration. So what's the best strategy to find the food? The effective one is to follow the bird which is nearest to the food. PSO learned from the scenario and used it to solve the optimization problems. In PSO, each single solution is a "bird" in the search space. We call it "particle". All of particles have fitness values which are evaluated by the fitness function to be optimized, and have velocities which direct the flying of the particles. The particles fly through the problem space by following the current optimum particles.
