Figure 1: sulphur Molecule Abstract: The periodic table is composed of 118 discovered elements. Each of them has unique properties differentiating it from the other. However, elements can be classified into different categories based on some specific criteria. One of the most common ways of classifying elements is as metals, nonmetals and metalloids. Sulphur […]
Abstract The colonization of Mars has been a topic of much discussion, and in recent years the media has had plenty to publish on this topic making this venture appear to be relatively easy. However, despite Mars being a neighbouring planet, it is an alien planet with an inhospitable environment. This paper — based on […]
Abstract The Radio Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) obtained by Bluetooth can be used to estimate the proximity and duration of an individual’s exposure to patients diagnosed with COVID-19. This is because as the RSSI signal becomes stronger, it indicates a closer proximity. This proximity information can be used alongside timestamp data to estimate the distance […]
Abstract The Ouseburn Valley within Newcastle upon Tyne is an urban tributary that has been placed under pressure as a result of the continuing urban development and changes to its climate. Sourced in Callerton, a region in the north-east close to Newcastle Airport, the tributary flows over approximately 17.5 km and through numerous urban and […]
Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has infected patients who have died of stroke and myocardial injury. The purpose of this study is to identify the neurological and cardiovascular complications of COVID-19. A systematic study has been performed on PubMed. Patients with a history of comorbidities (including stroke, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes) are correlated with a […]
Abstract COVID-19 has been reported to disproportionately affect minorities in terms of mortality rate1, so it was inquired whether this apparent discrimination also applied to unemployment rate. Through data analysis in Python and K-means clustering, an unsupervised machine learning algorithm based on minimising within-cluster variance to an average point known as a centroid, the bias […]
Abstract People addicted to drugs of abuse experience withdrawal effects as they try to become sober. This withdrawal behavior can be studied in a simple model system: planaria, a type of freshwater flatworm. Using planaria, this study measured the withdrawal effects of fentanyl, a potent opioid, and cocaine, a widespread psychostimulant. We hypothesized that longer […]
Approximately two million Americans live with limb loss; many amputees rely on prosthetic devices to help them overcome physical and mental obstacles [1]. Prosthetic devices are engineered to replace missing body parts such as limbs, organs and bones. Over the past few years, innovations in materials engineering, 3D printing and computer-aided design have allowed for […]
Abstract Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) acquire and translate brain signals from a patient to carry out some action on an external device. BCIs may collect these data signals through invasive, semi-invasive, or non-invasive techniques. Such techniques include electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Electrocorticography (ECoG). This review will aim to understand the development of […]
Introduction Forkhead Box 1 (FOXM1) is an oncogenic transcription factor possessing a winged-helix DNA-binding domain whose inhibition has potential as a novel cancer therapeutic agent. It is directly involved in cell-cycle progression and stress-induced apoptosis but has also been associated with DNA damage repair and cellular transportation[1]. Thiazole antibiotics such as thiostrepton have been identified […]
Abstract DNA, otherwise known as deoxyribonucleic acid, is an essential part of every living organism. However, with hereditary diseases such as cystic fibrosis and diabetes, is there any method to remove malign traits? In this article, a gene-altering tool is explored to provide readers with a general understanding as well as the practicability of this […]
Abstract Technology companies implement brain hacking in their apps and devices in order to make their users spend more time on apps and devices. High schoolers, who are among those who spend the most time on their technological devices, may be affected in terms of social media addiction, connectedness with others, and the willingness to […]
Abstract: In recent decades, much research has been conducted relating to the potential habitability of Mars. One angle this can take is trying to understand if certain hardy organisms could survive if transplanted from Earth to Mars. Research can focus on what vulnerabilities ultimately limit the survivability of a given organism or what challenges and […]
Abstract This article builds on previous work on the information paradox, but is independent of any of them. The central idea concerning this article is that gravity is not a fundamental force, rather an emergent force. Though this idea is not new in modern physics, the reasoning followed in this paper is unique. The logical […]
Abstract: The objective of this article is to explore the existing efforts in the study of replicating the Morpho butterfly’s structural color in order to create artificial colorings that may be longer lasting and more environmental-friendly which has the potential to offer a better way to color various products. The article gives an overview of […]
Abstract Microorganisms help to form the human microbiome, which is the aggregate of all the microbiota that reside in our body. This paper aims to determine the potential benefits of the microbes in our bodies. In this paper, the roles of the microorganisms of the body in diet and health and immunity were reviewed and […]
Abstract This article will explore the importance of coral, the process by which coral “bleaches” under duress from rising ocean temperatures, and how this can be combated using gene editing techniques. CRISPR, a revolutionary technique for genetic modification, can be used to replace the genes of heat-sensitive coral with rare genes belonging to heat-resistant corals […]
Abstract Cancerous cells can be detected in many ways, one of which uses fractal dimension (a number that describes the complexity of a shape). We analyse the “box counting” method of finding the fractal dimension of an object and the application that this has in finding the fractal dimension of an animal cell. We review […]
Abstract This paper will look at the mystery of dark energy- what it is, how we conclude that it exists, and what more can we learn about our universe using this recent discovery. In the beginning of the paper, dark energy is introduced on a more theoretical/fundamental basis, where theories, concepts, and equations are used […]
Abstract: This investigation is attempting to provide useful information in regard to the commercial use of bacterial starter cultures, and determine their optimal growth conditions. This is in order to establish the most economically viable production method, and controlling factors such as pH and atmospheric oxygen concentration in a Lactobacillus fermentation — for producing yogurt […]
