The research built upon findings from previous studies to monitor the effectiveness of pandemic lockdowns in Canadian cities by measuring city seismic activity. The primary objective of this research was to create an open-source tool that policymakers, health professionals, media, and the public could utilize to receive current updates on the efficacy of lockdown measures.

Many recyclable wastes are not recycled, though recycling is is an important practice that helps protect the environment and conserve natural resources. My proposed solution is to make a trash can called the RecycleBot that sorts waste into the recycling or garbage bin. It will use an AI algorithm that determines whether a piece of waste is recyclable or garbage and automatically sorts it.

In this science experiment, I will be conducting research on why the Hydroponic Plant System (HPS) is the best method for proper plant growth. Hydroponics is a method that is not used often and is a term that defines a method where plants are grown in a nutrient solution rather than used in soil.

The purpose of this study is to establish the validity of stoichiometric ratios as a predictive mechanism in chemistry and connect the knowledge of reaction stoichiometry to experimentation by ascertaining whether or not stoichiometric ratios can be determined in a laboratory setting. By utilizing stoichiometric ratios, it is possible to determine the number of moles that each of the other reactants and products in the balanced chemical equation will be comprised of.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary disorder characterized by the formation of abnormal, sickle-shaped erythrocytes. SCD is caused by a DNA base-pair alteration in the HbA gene which is one of a series of genes which produces protein subunits for hemoglobin. This article will provide an in-depth review of SCD, outlining the epidemiology, pathophysiology, complications, and treatment options. A case study featuring a patient living with complications of SCD will be analyzed at the end.

The rates of specialized treatment for mental illness are very low, with 75% of children with mental disorders not having access to specialized treatment services. In our project, mental health is broken down into an under-researched and specific topic: Emotions. In this study, we focus on negative-valence emotions (NVE), which encompass feelings characterized by a negative emotional tone. We aim to explore the nuanced emotional experiences of patients, focusing not only on stress but also on other NVEs, to shed light on their impact on care and potential interventions in healthcare settings.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of environmental stress on adult flies, specifically heavy metal exposure and cold temperature, and how this relates to developmental and immunological problems in their offspring. This study explores whether the first generation’s response to environmental stressors closely resembles that of the second generation. Moreover, whether the adverse effects are passed on to the second generation without direct exposure to the stress.
