Memory is in the hippocampus, the center for learning. With increasing age, the hippocampus has fewer neuronal connections leading to weaker memory. 65% of adults 65+ suffer with memory. 1% progress onto serious impairments. Previous studies suggest age hinders memory, however, it’s not well u...
According to the UN, 95% of the agricultural land will be degraded and twice as much water will be needed to produce food in the future. One-quarter part of world’s agriculture is located in regions with water scarcity, which has led to the irrigation of crops with the sewage. This has become ...
The sports management industry in the United States has evolved into a powerhouse sector, intertwined with the broader economy and impacting areas far beyond the sports field. Valued in the billions, this industry supports and manages various functions across professional leagues, such as the NFL, N...
The current lithium-ion battery technology is expensive and not environmentally sustainable. Supercapacitors are an alternative; however, they have low energy densities, making them impractical to use. Therefore, this project aimed to create an energy source that solved all the problems batteries ha...
SARS-CoV-2, a novel coronavirus also known as COVID-19, has caused a global pandemic, claiming the lives of over 3 million people, and counting. Governments and local polities have implemented public health mandates to reduce the spread, including mask-wearing, a policy that remains controversial. T...

Plants are an integral part of human life. Crops, especially fruits and vegetables, provide humans with energy and nutrients. What would happen if we didn’t have these foods at all? The aim for this research study was to determine if the plant ridding disease, Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV), could...
Approximately 107,000- 730,000 tons of microplastics are dumped into agricultural soil yearly. It has recently been reported that microplastics change the chlorophyll content of pumpkins, decrease root and shoot growth, and decrease the leaf number. There is a great deal of information on microplast...
In 2015, Flint Michigan changed water sources from Lake Huron to the Flint River, which had water lead levels [15], correlated with blood lead levels [17]. Lead is highly neurotoxic [19], lowering grey matter volume [5]. Due to a lack of data from Flint, fMRI scans (after 2015) from Los Angeles, New...
From 2005 to 2050, crop demands will increase by 100% to 110% and 50% of land will not be suitable for agriculture (Monsees, 2019). To address this issue, we developed a cost-efficient hydroponic system. In phase 1 of our project, we compared the growth of plants in a long, shallow system and a deep...
