Growth Potential of Young Black Sea Bass, Centropristis Striata, in Artificial Environments
<p>The growth potential of the commercially important marine finfish, black sea bass (Centropristis striata), was examined for aquaculture under controlled conditions. The effect of food and body weight on growth was evaluated using juveniles and young black sea bass cultured with a natural diet …

Evolutionary, developmental neural networks for robust robotic control
The use of artificial evolution to synthesize controllers for physical robots is still in its infancy. Most applications are on very simple robots in artificial environments, and even these examples struggle to span the "reality gap," a name given to the difference between the performance of a …

Tourist victimization in and around the artificial environment
… the resulting victimization of travelers to the "artificial environments," such as those offered in Las Vegas and Orlando, little empirical research has been conducted to estimate the extent to which the traveler is victimized when in these different areas. Research reported in this paper is a …

Reflections on Our Time
… and our resources. Inspired by natural and artificial environments, I focus on the observation of fleeting color and light patterns. Patterns are magnified by using every day plastic consumer products as a lens to distort y images. Spatial ambiguity is created through the use of complex …

A study of indigenous sorghum agriculture in Southern Africa: combining isotope and indigenous knowledge systems approaches
… done is based on studies in highly controlled, artificial environments. To help fill this gap, the present study investigates the variation in δ13C and δ15N in three varieties of sorghum, mshalane, 236 and 308. These were cultivated at four localities in different regions of Eswatini and South …

Connection and Retreat: Reimagining the Public Library as a Biophilic Urban Escape
… We spend 90% of our time indoors in limited and artificial environments, mostly in our homes or places of work. The internet and a global pandemic have advanced this disconnection to our surroundings through the rise of remote work and a slew of apps ready to deliver whatever you desire to your …

A Dynamic Model Of The Human/cooling System/clothing/environment System
… well for moderate climatic heat stress, but artificial environments often block or overwhelm physiological defense mechanism. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is one of sources of heat stress. It protects individual from chemical, physical, or biological hazards, but the high thermal …

The photosynthetic bacterial reaction center in native and artificial envirnoments: effects on light-induced electron transfer
… we discussed the effects of native and artificial environment on the light-induced electron transfer processes. The native environment consist of the inner antenna LH1 complex that copurifies with the RC forming the so called core complex, and the lipid phase tightly associated with it. …
