	Amoeba - New World Encyclopedia Preview
		Amoeba (also spelled ameba) is a genus of protozoa that moves by means of temporary projections called pseudopods (false feet), and is well-known as a representative unicellular organism.
		Because of their simplistic nature, amoebas are often referenced in discussions of evolution, as those advocating design, question how organisms as simple as amoebas can evolve by accident or chance to the great complexity seen in life today.
		Amoebas, in the narrowest sense of the word (the genus), are found in freshwater, typically on decaying vegetation from streams, but are not especially common in nature.

	Amoeba - MSN Encarta
		Amoeba, any of a group of unicellular organisms characterized by their locomotive method of extending cytoplasm outward to form pseudopodia (false feet).
		Amoebas are considered the most primitive animals and are classified in the kingdom Protista.
		Chemical stimuli from smaller organisms, the amoeba's food, induce the formation of pseudopodia, pairs of which envelop the organism, at the same time forming a cavity, or vacuole.

	amoeba proteus
		When the amoeba has two or three pseudopodia probing around the tips of those that are to be retracted become a gel forcing the cytoplasm back into the main cell body and pushed into the new leading pseudopodium.
		Amoebas capture their prey by surrounding it with their pseudopodia and engulfing it into a vacuole full of water.
		In reality various parts of the amoeba are touching a surface and some parts are free of any surface, so the animal tends to creep along by dropping a pseudopodium here and there and pulling its self along by gripping the substratum.

		The habitat of the amoeba is the mud and water of ponds and ditches.
		Amoeba are simple animals and their whole surface is in contact with the water that surrounds them and which contains oxygen.
		As the amoeba uses up oxygen on the inside, the concentrate of oxygen lowers, so there is less on the inside than in the water outside.

	Protozoa: Amoebae: Naked. An introduction to amoebae with photomicrographs.
		These are the classic amoebae of the general biology textbooks, and part of the intention of this collection of photomicrographs and observations is to dispel the notion that an amoeba is a shapeless blob of animated jelly, randomly engulfing objects it happens upon en route to nowhere in particular.
		It has been known for a long time that the general direction of an amoeba's movement is a chemotaxic response to concentration gradients of nutrient (and other) substances in the surrounding water, and that most amoebae maintain a fairly definite shape, with a recognizable front and back end, during all of their activities.
		The amoeba on the right (with large contractile vacuole) is in the act of ingesting the cells -- the one on the left has already ingested several algae of a similar kind which can be seen in its food vacuoles.

		In the Amoeba model a capability is just a number that is generated by a server when it first receives a request for object creation form the client.

	Applying Amoeba to Increase Profit
		Once the amoeba finds a high-profit region, it is compelled to shrink its simplex, and it is completely blind to the ever-diminishing profits that occur throughout that simplex.
		The amoeba algorithm can be improved considerably for this application by having it occasionally resample previously sampled points and by conditionally expanding its simplex from time to time.
		Leakage is thwarted because the modified amoeba briefly lowers its prices to recapture disenfranchised consumers, and then raises them again to enjoy increased profits from consumers who have learned again to appreciate the value of the producer's wares.

	How to identify an amoeba: brief introduction
		All amoebae are capable to float, and due to the existing of floating forms it is impossible to subdivide amoebae into “benthic” and “planctonic” species in water habitats.
		For smaller amoebae and amoebae which are maintained on the agar without overlay, wash of cells from the dish with the drop of respective media, place the drop on the object slide, close with coverslip and observe immediately.
		This is characteristic for amoebae of fan-shaped, dactylopodial and paramoebian morphotypes.

	Amoeba - Biography - AOL Music
		Amoeba was one of the results of a multi-decade on-again, off-again collaboration between multi-instrumentalist Rick Davies and ambient composer Robert Rich.
		Indeed, his musical aspirations reached all of the way back into childhood, when he was fascinated by the rhythms and textures of sounds in the world around him (croaking frogs, ventilator shafts, etc.) and built his first synthesizer from a kit at the age of 13.
		The second album produced by Amoeba, Watchful, was a masterpiece of collective work by Davies and Rich.

	Deadly amoeba infiltrates Tucson water - UPI.com
		The potentially lethal amoeba was blamed last month for the death of a teenager who had been swimming in Lake Havesu and is not considered a threat to Tucson’s chlorinated drinking water.
		Health officials were somewhat surprised to find the amoeba in underground water supplies, the Arizona Star said, since the microscopic critter is generally only found in rivers and lakes.
		One theory is that the use of biodegradable lubricants on the water system’s pumps has produced an underground source of food for the amoeba, which normally lives on bacteria.

	Amoeba. Amoeboae form a group of the single-celled organisms called Protozoa.
		In the middle of the cell, surrounded by the protoplasm, is the nucleus, a body which can be thought of as the blueprint for the organization of the cell's activity.
		If an amoeba is cut in two the half with the nucleus may survive and reproduce; the other moves around for a while but cannot digest its food, and when its reserves are gone it dies.
		The name amoeba is applied not only to members of the genus Amoeba but to a range of different types of Protozoa with pseudopodia living in the sea, in fresh water, in damp soil and in the bodies of larger animals.

		Amoeba users should not be concerned about the number of processors in the system, nor must they know the location of the other machines or servers (like the Filesystem server...).
		Amoeba will decide which processor (or processors) are appropriate for the request, based on the current state of the system.
		Amoeba is organized as a collection of objects (essentially abstarct data types), each with some number of operations that processes can perform on it. Operations on an object are performed by sending a message to the object's server.Objects are created by processes and managed by the corresponding server.
