Assessing COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy via Sentiment Analysis: A Fine-Tuned Naive Bayes Classifier using Feature Engineering

Abstract—The introduction of COVID-19 vaccines was met with scepticism and fear, amplified through social media plat- forms such as Twitter. This work investigates public sentiment regarding vaccines by creating a new, more accurate classifier for classifying COVID-19-related tweets by employing transfer learning of a pre-trained model, fine tuning the model with COVID-19-related data, and feature …

Identifying the Best Image Classification Algorithm for COVID-19 Diagnosis with a Small, Imbalanced Chest X-Ray Dataset

Abstract With more than 82 million COVID-19 cases worldwide [1], automated chest radiograph interpretation could provide substantial benefit for efficient and accurate diagnosis of COVID-19 patients. In this project, families of deep learning neural networks are trained on publicly available chest X-ray datasets to identify the best image classification algorithm for automating the diagnosis of …

Case Study Testing the Antibacterial Efficacy Between Alcohol-Based and Alcohol-Free Sanitiser on the Human Hand

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 …

Autophagy: A Multipotentialite

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 …

IN THE BOXING RING WITH COVID-19: How do we fight a virus?

Grace En Xie1 Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic is the ongoing battle between humans and the virus SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2 attacks by infiltrating the human body, causing mild to deadly effects. The virus spreads through human transmission into the lungs, activating the immune system to help or harm. People around the world have worked to reduce SARS-CoV-2’s …

CO2 Levels During Long International Flights as Approximation for COVID-19 Infection Risk Levels

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 …
