Micro-organisms associated with gari, produced in Cameroun,
Africa, by the traditional method and that produced in the laboratory,
were isolated, identified, and screened for their abilities to produce
gari flavor. Gari production, under the controlled conditions was
attempted utilizing these isolates and the dairy starter cultures.
Some of the volatiles...
Short-tailed albatrosses (Phoebastria albatrus, hereafter "STAL") migrate throughout the North Pacific, overlapping with multiple large scale fisheries. In the Bering Sea, documented bycatch of this species is a focal conservation concern, due to the fact that this species is listed as "endangered" under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. We conducted...
Cyanobacterial harmful algae blooms (cyanoHABs) are a growing concern worldwide due to damage of ecosystems and threats to human health. Previous research indicates that plant humics from aquatic and wetland vascular plants are effective inhibitors of cyanobacterial metabolism and growth and may be useful as control agents for mitigating cyanoHABs....
Approximately 4,210 feet of Late Cretaceous and 1,440 feet of Tertiary sedimentary rocks are exposed in the Salt Wells Anticline area of southcentral Sweetwater County, Wyoming.

Transportation infrastructure provides a vital service for the functionality of a
city. The efficient design of road networks poses an interesting topic in computer
science for digital content developers. For civil engineers, the visualization of
analysis results on infrastructure both efficiently and intuitively is crucial. The
following contributions are made...
Autonomous robotic agents are on their way to becoming in-home personal assistants, construction assistants, and warehouse workers. The degree of autonomy of such systems is reflected by the manner in which we specify goals to them; the abstraction of low-level commands to high-level goals goes hand-in-hand with increased autonomy. In...
