This research project will investigate if there is a difference in the time period it takes a young person and an older person to learn the same newly acquired skill. The aim being to understand if during the learning process, do new neuron pathways develop or do the old pathways transform.
This research project utilizes Mathematica to predict the possible combinations of Voronoi deletion tiles. The goal is to understand which patterns emerge and why. The anticipated results will demonstrate a correlation between impossible shapes and number of tiles deleted.
The goal of this research project is to study the development of medications that help women who are infected with HIV to be able to have healthy non-HIV infected babies. We plan to use statistics and first-hand accounts to deepen our understanding of perinatal transmission and its prevention.
This project will utilize integral kinematics to revolutionize fitness regiments, athletic training, and sports routines. All too often, people train instantaneous output such as power and acceleration in athletics, while there is a lack of emphasis on muscle control and endurance. Therefore, the aim of this project is to use two pioneering fitness metrics to develop a training system for muscle control, and consequently enhance athletes' performance.
This research project looks into the different types of solar panels, such as monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin film, and the amount of energy output by looking at past data. The Palo Alto Airport wants to install solar panels to help with heating and powering other materials. This research will look into the calculations of solar angles and temperatures in Palo Alto year long and how it will affect different types of solar panels.
Our project involves experiments to see if Panax Ginseng has a correlation to tau proteins in Alzheimer's Disease patients. Alzheimer’s is a disease affecting more than 3 million people in the United States. While we know it's a neurodegenerative disease, the root cause is still debated. Out of the three most prominent hypotheses, the Tau Hypothesis has recently become more salient in regards to Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) patients.
This study will assess the concerns of individuals with Familial Hypercholesterolemia both qualitatively and quantitatively. For the former, structured interviews will be conducted for individuals with FH. For the latter, analyses of data taken from a national patient registry of FH called CASCADE FH will be performed. This research will demonstrate what the patients are experiencing and what their primary concerns are through a firsthand perspective. FH poses complex psychosocial challenges for families.
In this research project there will be a replacement of a robot's PID control loop with a new customized control loop which uses a Kalman filter to estimate the shooter's (a rotating turntable with a flywheel mounted on it) location relative to the target. After having the robot shoot at the ball while recording the number of shots and the number of shots missed, the new customized control loop will then be implemented and record the number shot and shots missed again and look for any improvements in accuracy or speed.
Using the libraries OpenCV and FFmpeg, visual recognition software is being designed to analyze neurosurgery video in an automated fashion. An algorithm is designed to split up neurosurgery video according to certain visual cues. Metadata is modified to identify the video clips that are designated to be saved and the ones that are designated to be deleted.
Approximately 8 million adults are diagnosed with some type of walking balance disorder. Majority of the testing is done by using subjective assessments in a physician’s office. The goal of this project is to take the subjectivity out of these tests to make the process more efficient and increase the accuracy of the results by using computer technology to improve patient care. The computerized results can also help keep track of the patient’s progress and is a step into the modern world of technology.
