The authors looked at how storage temperature of potatoes can impact the sweetness of potatoes (due to the break down of the starch into simple sugars).
Read More...Incorporating graphite from pencils as a component of lithium-ion batteries
The authors looked at the ability to use graphite from pencils in anodes of lithium-anode batteries.
Read More...The efficacy of spent green tea leaves and coffee grounds on the growth of Ocimum basilicum
The authors looked at fertilizer derived from coffee ground tea leaves, measuring the effectiveness by measuring the height, weight, and number of leaves on basil plants.
Read More...Deep dive into predicting insurance premiums using machine learning
The authors looked at different factors, such as age, pre-existing conditions, and geographic region, and their ability to predict what an individual's health insurance premium would be.
Read More...Using advanced machine learning and voice analysis features for Parkinson’s disease progression prediction
The authors looked at the ability to use audio clips to analyze the progression of Parkinson's disease.
Read More...Investigating sustainable insulation materials: Analysis of biofoams and petroleum-derived foams
The authors looked into eco-friendly alternatives for insulating material. They ultimately found that a polyurethane derived from eggshells was an effective insulator and further research into it is warranted.
Read More...The effect of calcium on mealworm iron metabolism
The authors looked at the impact of calcium on iron absorption in mealworms, hypothesizing that calcium would inhibit iron absorption.
Read More...Initiating astrocyte to neuron transdifferentiation via miR-124a: implications in neurodegenerative disease
The authors looked at whether they could induce the formation of new neurons from astrocytes via the upregulation of a microRNA (miR-124a). They found that upregulation of miR-124a started transdifferentiation of neurons, but was not enough to lead to full conversion of astrocytes to neurons.
Read More...SeniorConnect: A low-cost, app-based real-time alert system to connect seniors with their caregivers
The authors design and test an easy-to-use and cost-effective mobile app-based alert system to help senior citizens rapidly communicate with caregivers in emergencies or when in need of assistance.
Read More...The relationship between multilingualism and visual imagery: Investigating aphantasia using the VVIQ
The authors looked at the correlation between being able to speak more than one language (multilingualism) and visual imagery. They found multilingual individuals had higher visual imagery as measured by the VVIQ.
