The following are sentences from my annotated bibliography.

This Journal article displays the versatility of the checkerboard pattern within fields of scientific study, as its variability in size and measurability make it an apt tool to analyse pattern recognition^[1].

This source provides much a much-needed fashion history and textile specific understanding of the checkerboard pattern to the Wikipedia page^[2].

This journal article provides an analysis of the practical scientific uses of checkerboard patterns, specifically regarding energy collection^[3].

This article is a useful source in understanding the semiotic and fashion-based trends of the checkerboard pattern and its variants^[4].

This journal article provides context as to the importance of checkerboard fashion as used by popular figures, exploring its symbolic nature to represent societal roles including that of the “modernising woman”^[5].

Scientific Uses

The check pattern has been employed as a popular scientific tool to assist scientific study due to its complexity and easily altered size and colour. In the field of biology the pattern has been used to measure the accuracy of various animals' camouflage, including the Cuttlefish^[6].

The check pattern is also used as a layout for the enhancement of solar power as the checkerboard placement of photovoltaic solar cells can increase their absorption ability^[7].
