Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs) are electromagnetic waves along the boundary between a metal and a dielectric, typically within the infrared or visible light range. These waves are tightly confined to the interface, with their intensity decaying exponentially perpendicular to the surface. SPPs pro... Read More

In 2015, Flint Michigan changed water sources from Lake Huron to the Flint River, which had water lead levels [15], correlated with blood lead levels [17]. Lead is highly neurotoxic [19], lowering grey matter volume [5]. Due to a lack of data from Flint, fMRI scans (after 2015) from Los Angeles, New... Read More

Colored light may affect an individual’s ability to perceive color correctly, especially in low light environments. Previous studies suggest that colored light affects reaction time and awareness of a human within a vehicle. Additionally, color perception is likely associated with... Read More

Green roofs (GRs) are typically used to retain stormwater and are increasingly being used to produce food by growing edible vegetation, such as Mad Hatter Peppers (Capsicum baccatum). However, there have been conflicting studies on whether GRs can feasibly produce Capsicum baccatum in GRs compared t... Read More

Language workbenches and product lines allow users to customize programming languages by providing a framework for the creation of Domain Specific Languages (DSLs). They allow for quicker language development, but still require some programming. The customization offered by workbenches and product l... Read More

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) systems have been proposed as a method to mitigate excessive pesticide misusage. While prior research has extensively confirmed the efficacy of individual IPM-related solutions, three major issues have prevented sustainable policies from being adopted: a lack of fiel...

Nanoparticles (NPs) have shown promising capabilities for water treatment through various mechanisms, including the generation and modulation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), as well as utilizing photosensitization and photocatalysis. Photosensitization can enhance the efficiency of ROS generation ... Read More

Even though Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is the leading cause of disability worldwide impacting over 300 million individuals, early detection and intervention is hindered by the limited knowledge of its underlying mechanisms. One association found to be significant within MDD is the presence of e... Read More

In this experiment  working with Chromium and Eisenia fetida studying the health and behaviors of Eisenia fetida and how Chromium will affect their behaviors when exposed to Chromium. Other researchers that have done similar research showed that their Eisenia fetida have died because of being e... Read More

Though sharp-wave ripples have been recorded in the EEG data of the hippocampus of mammals for years, it remains unclear how ripples can contribute to memory for different behaviors.. Sharp wave ripples are one of the most synchronous patterns in the mammalian brain. These waves are most common duri... Read More

The areas of the brain that become active when formulating a lie, or “deceit patterns, are denoted on fMRI scans, yielding results that are more accurate than the polygraph. Using publicly available court records and fMRI results obtained from previous literature, the extent to wh... Read More

Pneumonia, a fatal lung disease, is caused by infection of Streptococcus pneumoniae; it is detected by chest x-rays that reveal inflammation of the alveoli. However, the efficiency by which it is diagnosed can be improved through the use of artificial intelligence. Convolutional neural networks (CNN... Read More
