Abstract:
A 3D scanning method was developed to differentiate Octopus minor blocks which had surplus water to increase weight of O. minor. Effects of soaking time (0.5, 1 and 3 h) and apparent density of O. minor were determined using the number of O. minor in a block (4, 5, 6, and 7). A 0.5, 1, and 3 h soaking time increased O. minor weight by 11.85, 16.02, and 24.53%, respectively. Apparent density of non-weight gained O. minor blocks was significantly higher than those of 3 h soaked samples (p < 0.05). A 3D scanning method had limited ability to differentiate 1 h soaked and non-soaked samples, whereas it had high potential to discriminate 3 h soaked samples. Blind test using 25 blocks of O. minor showed that 3D scanning method evaluated 88% of prediction percentage. The total time of 3D scanning took <30 min for one block with a relatively high precision.

A Minority of One: Conformity to Group Norms
It is obvious that we are influenced by those around us, but in the early to mid 1900's, psychologists began to study how potent social influence can be on our thoughts and behaviors. Motivated in part by attempts to explain the behaviors of Nazi soldiers in World War II, one topic of considerable interest at the time in psychology was conformity, the phenomenon in which people match their attitudes, behaviors, or beliefs to...
