We propose a new approach to the simultaneous cooperative localization of a very large group of simple robots capable of performing deadreckoning and sensing the relative position of nearby robots. In the last decade, the use of distributed optimal Kalman filters (KF) to address this problem has been studied extensively. In this paper, we propose to use a very simple encounter based averaging p...

The total rate of rock deformation results from competing deformation processes, including ductile and brittle mechanisms. Particular deformation styles arise from the dominance of certain mechanisms over others at different ambient conditions. Surprisingly, rates of deformation in naturally deformed rocks are found to cluster around two extremes, representing coseismic slip rates or viscous cr...

The color is a sensory attribute that influence decisively the judgment of consumers in certain type of food and therefore, the food industries have added dyes to their products. Natural dyes have been demanded by consumers but there are some limitations in its use such as low water solubility and low stability. Therefore, we have sought ways of overcoming these limitations and milk proteins pl...

This issue of The Journal of General Physiology includes the Abstracts for the 68th Annual Meeting of the Society of General Physiologists, scheduled to take place September 2–6 in Woods Hole. We’ve been publishing the Abstracts for the SGP Annual Meeting since 1996, which was also the first year the SGP presented the Paul F. Cranefield Award, created to honor long-time JGP Editor Paul Cranefie...

For the special case of nonlinear gravitational clustering from an initially Poisson distribution , the counts-in-cells distribution function is obtained from the excursion set, Press-Schechter multiplicity function. This Poisson Press-Schechter distribution function has the same form as the gravitational quasi-equilibrium counts-in-cells distribution function, predicted by the Saslaw-Hamilton ...
