Arjun Subramanian Reviewed by: Dr. Chris Baysdorfer, Cal State East Bay ABSTRACT The novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 has augmented the regular use of hand sanitiser, redefining its role in preventing viral transmissions and killing bacteria which can promote viral replication. As a result, the two major types of sanitiser, alcohol-based, made with […]
Tanvi Yalamanchili Abstract Autophagy is an important cellular process involved in cellular health and disease. This review addresses the major mechanisms of autophagy and explores how this process contributes to numerous human diseases. Research suggests that infection by SARS-CoV2, the virus that causes the novel human coronavirus disease COVID-19, may be mediated by autophagy. This […]
Bharathi Sridhar Abstract Traditionally, text is analysed unidirectionally: from left to right. But bidirectional parsing is quickly becoming more prevalent in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and deep learning. Deep learning methods often require large amounts of data to extract patterns but in many NLP tasks, labelled data is scarce, so usually, a model is pre-trained […]
Nishka Srivastava Anti-counterfeiting technology inspired by the wings of a butterfly. A robotic arm inspired by an elephant’s trunk. Fascinating ideas like these are everyday at The Biomimicry Institute – an organisation dedicated to promoting biomimicry, or design that emulates nature to create sustainable and effective solutions to our problems. Recently the Institute held their […]
Zeen Ahmad Covid-19 has greatly impacted us all in many ways since the pandemic has started. It has had a significant toll on the mental health of many. Worries may have stemmed from the anxiety of getting the virus or from simply staying at home for too long. The impact of Covid-19 on mental health […]
Lavanya Arora The quantum world hosts a lot of staggering and interesting phenomena. One of these is quantum tunneling. It is a process in which a particle with less energy penetrates through a barrier with higher energy. The most common example scientists give to explain this is that of a ball and a hill. Consider […]
Anna Almasan An essay regarding how high quality soil can capture carbon and reduce the effects of climate change Abstract With the ever more prudent threat of the climate crisis scientists have been searching for solutions. One such solution has presented itself in the form of Regenerative Farming. Regenerative farming is preferred as it is […]
Weina Jin Abstract Everything alive stemmed from just one cell, but under pressure of many factors, differentiated into the great variation of life found on our planet. Biodiversity is a measure of this variation. First zooming in on the story of a mysterious flower, this article relates this plant to approaches to recording biodiversity in […]
Weina Jin Introduction History would not exist without writing. According to Gerd Carling, the amount of knowledge passed down from a society is higher if you have written sources about that culture, compared to non-written sources. She says this is down to the “methodology of linguistics. It’s easier to get certain knowledge about things in […]
Michael Lutz, Sanjana Gadaginmath, Natraj Vairavan, Sriram Srivatsan, Advisor: Phil Mui 1Aspiring Scholars Directed Research Program, 43505 Mission Blvd, Fremont, CA 94539 Abstract: Given the reach of YouTube as a proliferator of contemporary news and ideas, it is important to understand how YouTube reflects (either magnifies, minimises, or preserves) pre-existing political bias. Moreover, it remains […]
Inbar Adiel, 11th Grade, Golda Och Academy, NJ January 31st, 2021 ABSTRACT This research documents the levels of CO2 during two long international flights that took place on December 11th, 2020 and January 1st, 2021 (US -> Israel and Israel -> US). Based on CDC guidelines, the risk of becoming infected with COVID-19 increases dramatically […]
Abstract Viscosity is basically the measure of resistance of a fluid when it is flowing, i.e. it describes the internal friction of a moving fluid. In 1851 scientist George Gabriel Stokes gave his law; after that, a lot of research was done with taking that law into account. But there are no such mathematical solutions […]
What effect does engine RPM have on fuel economy? Jack Munro [1] Abstract This article will discuss the effect of engine revolutions per minute on fuel economy, and analyse relevant data collected in a controlled and reliable way. A car will be driven consistently around a controlled street circuit, changing gear at different engine speeds […]
Wireless Brainwave Sensing Using an EEG Headset and Labview Programming Ri He Abstract Using a Bluetooth HC-06 module and an electroencephalogram (EEG) Mindflex headset, I developed a wireless brainwave sensing system based on Labview graphical programming. Using the system, EEG raw data was attained, saved and processed. Brainwaves were recorded during three activities: relaxing, reading […]
Audrey Zhang NWIW Internship 2019 July 2019 Abstract Numerous studies from a health or environmental standpoint have shown how the population can make changes to improve each field of studies’ respective issues. Combining results from several research studies, this paper shows how shifting one’s diet to include fewer animal products positively impacts both health and […]

On improving take-off efficiency of airplanes Arpan Dey Abstract In this paper, a special model for the airplane wing is proposed. The main aim of the model is to maximize take-off efficiency of airplanes and increase the effectiveness of in-flight maneuvers. The sudden movement of a leading-edge downward-movable control surface in the main wing could, […]
