The Effect of UV Treatment on the Degradation of Compostable Polylactic Acid
Though many compostable plastics have entered the market, they often require lengthy treatment processes to degrade. Polylactic acid (PLA) has the greatest potential to replace petroleum-based plastics due to its…
Which diaper is more absorbent, Huggies or Pampers?
Our experiment’s purpose is to find which newborn diaper, Huggies Little Snugglers or Pampers Swaddlers, absorbs more simulated urine (5% salt water). The Pampers diaper is composed of an average…
Exploring the Interconnection of Greenhouse Gas Emission and Socio-economic Factors
Exploring the Interconnection of Greenhouse Gas Emission and Socio-economic Factors This paper examines the dependence of the emission of greenhouse gases including CO2, N2O and CH4 on social, economic and…
Comparing the Voltage Output of Water in Drop and Flow Form Using a Piezoelectric Sensor and Hydroelectric Turbine
Due to the harmful effects of broadly used energy sources, alternative energy sources have been widely studied. One area of interest is transferring kinetic water energy in nature, as in…
The Effects of Ocean Acidification on the Development and Calcification of the Larval Shells of the Red Abalone Haliotis rufescens Swainson, 1822
This study focuses on the effects of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide and decreasing pH on the development and calcification of larval red abalone shells. Experimental bowls were inoculated with 2…
Mapping QTLs for Popping Ability in a Popcorn × Dent Maize Genetic Cross
Corn (maize, Zea mays L.) is one of the world’s most economically important grain crops. When exposed to heat, its starch-filled kernels pop and cook into puffs. The high demand…
Antibiotic Residues Detected in Commercial Cow’s Milk
Cow’s milk is an important food containing vital nutrients for both children and adults. Chemical residues and antimicrobials in milk may be a concern for consumers. In this study we…
Does Music Directly Affect a Person’s Heart Rate?
Music can have a profound effect on a person’s body, in that it may cause people to dance and move around, but does it have a direct and significant effect…

Exploring the interconnection of greenhouse gas emission and socio-economic factors Abstract – This paper examines the dependence of the emission of greenhouse gases including CO2, N2O and CH4 on…
Ant colony optimization algorithms with multiple simulated colonies offer potential advantages for solving the traveling salesman problem and, by extension, other optimization problems
The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is a classic problem in optimization, frequently used for measuring the performance of optimization algorithms. The goal in solving the TSP is to determine the…
