POPSSwarm robotics (videos) Some videos, with an introduction and examples of swarm robotics, a field of study based on the supposition that simple, individual robots can interact and collaborate to form a single artificial organism with more advanced group intelligence.

POPSPics from Antarctic "Seal Cam" I have seen "turtle cam" before. Scientists view the habitat and the organism they are studying from the back of the Weddell Seal, so they can also study the habits of the seal without having to kill anything. Why not do this to whales? Gosh, think how many cameras you could connect to a whale and have WHALE-A-VISION. It could be an excellent way to study their feeding habits and other patterns of behavior. Could record sounds also. Can someone suggest this to prevent whale killing?

POPS1.1.2. Philosophy / Metaphysics / Theology There is a nice chart at the source that lists belief systems and some details of each. There is also a nice exploration of the justification of christianity. Since Christianity is the most prevalent belief system among humans, it deserves special attention. The best evidence for the Christian doctrine of a divine Jesus is: Don't be offended- your beliefs are safe.

POPSWelcome to the Honeybee Hemolymph Proteomics Database at the University of British Columbia.
The honeybee, Apis mellifera, is an invaluable partner in agriculture around the world, both for its production of honey and, more importantly, for its role in pollination. Honeybees are largely unexplored at the molecular level, despite a long and distinguished career as a model organism for understanding social behavior. Like other eusocial insects, honeybees can be divided into several castes: the queen (fertile female), workers (sterile females) and drones (males). Each caste has different energy and metabolic requirements and each differs in its susceptibility to pathogens, many of which have evolved to take advantage of the close social network inside a colony. Hemolymph, arthropods' equivalent to blood, distributes nutrients throughout the bee and the immune components contained within it form one of the primary lines of defense against invading microorganisms. In this study we have applied qualitative and quantitative proteomics to gain a better understanding of honeybee hemoly
