An effort was made to determine what factors are responsible for differences in color quality between preserves commercially manufactured from Hood and Tioga strawberry varieties. Color analyses made on Hood and Tioga preserves, during a 26 week storage period, included spectral measurements of aqueous extracts from the preserve samples. In...
The purpose of this study was to develop a marine bioassay
procedure using eggs and larvae of Pollicipes polymerus, a stalked
barnacle common on the west coast of North America.
A series of experiments were run to determine optimal culture
conditions for the eggs, to see if they could be...

Collective robotic systems are biologically-inspired and exhibit behaviors found in spatial swarms (e.g., fish), colonies (e.g., ants), or a combination of both (e.g., bees). Collective robotic system popularity continues to increase due to their apparent global intelligence and emergent behaviors. Many applications can benefit from the incorporation of collectives, including...
