Marco Montalbano – Applied Science Abstract This paper examines the research behind and creation of an IOS app which classifies several different types of skin cancer using a neural network. Currently it is estimated that 1 in 58 Americans will develop skin cancer and the cost of diagnosis and treatment can range anywhere from US$500-US$20,000 […]
Spaced Repetition in a SwiftUI Application Which Teaches Driving
Frances Sayer – Applied Science Abstract Spaced repetition is the spreading of content to be learned over long periods of time. It has become widespread in learning technology due to its efficacy and ease of implementation. This study aims to create an application that uses spaced repetition for the purpose of teaching the rules of […]
Differentiating AI vs. Human Art: A Convolutional Neural Network Approach
Juneeta Lakshmi Vangala – Applied Science Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) impact on the art industry has grown rapidly in recent years. This project aims to differentiate between AI-generated and human-made art. It uses Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to classify images, using a dataset customized from Kaggle. Through model training, the CNN demonstrates promising performance in […]
Allele Frequency Model Development Targeted to Identify Genetic Variation in the Stress Receptor Gene FKBP5
Beatrice Leahu – Applied Science Abstract The human genome is one of humanity’s greatest mysteries. The human population has a nearly identical genomic sequence; however, alleles account for the genotypic and phenotypic differences. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are a common form of genetic variation drastically affecting the efficiency of the stress receptor gene FKBP5 in […]
Circadian Rhythm and Plant Biology
Esther Jushin Kim – Applied Science Abstract Circadian rhythm is proven to have an impact on an organism’s strength. Further research on the optimal light exposure plants should receive could help any farmers–whether it be for a personal garden or commercial farming. This experiment has demonstrated the effects of different light exposures on plants on […]
Change in Beach Profiles and Flood Volumes Resulting from Coastal Defense Mechanisms in a Small Scale Wave Flume
Ainslie Tuer, Applied Science Abstract In order to address the problem of rising sea levels and increased extreme weather events, this experiment involved constructing a small scale wave flume and various coastal defense models to study their effect on coastal erosion and flooding. As cities expand and the push for sustainability increases, coastal cities must […]
Design and Development of an Emergency Oxygen Device Based on Max30100 and Arduino Uno for Victims in Need of Oxygen Therapy
Daniel Du, Applied Science Abstract This research paper presents the design and development of an emergency oxygen delivery device using the Max30100 sensor and Arduino Uno microcontroller. The device will provide oxygen therapy to victims in emergencies. It is portable, affordable, and easy to use, making it ideal in a resource limited setting. The study […]
Road Derived from Recycled Plastic Experimented Against Road Derived from Typical Asphalt Aggregate Using Modern Road Conditions
Jack Orrell-Mcleod, Applied Science Abstract Plastic waste is one of the largest threats to modern-day society, with little ways to counteract a waste product that has very few sustainable and recyclable uses and often ends up polluting our environment. However, new experiments with roads made of recycled plastic have proved to provide a potential solution […]
The Benefits of a Specialized Learning Tool over a Generalized One
Jeremy Wu, Applied Science Abstract The following experiment introduces the concept of learning strategies and proves its effectiveness. This concept is explored through the comparison of a specialized learning site and a generalized, popular site known as “Quizlet” through many participants of differing age groups. The experiment will have each participant go through both of […]
A Way to Refine Drawings by the Power of Computation
Alex Qin, Applied Science Abstract Drawing is not something that everyone likes and excel at it, as the lines that make up pictures are sometimes very hard to draw it straight. This could be extra problematic when drawing then electronically. This project investigates a way that to fix that problem by making a program that […]
