In 2018, G. bimaculata was found in Izumi City, 600 km away from its native habitat. Since detailed morphological or DNA analysis was not yet available, this study was conducted with the aim…
Environmental Engineering
The purpose of this project was to develop and test a reusable and energy-efficient device to filter microplastics (plastics under 5mm in size) created by tire wear. This research is importa…
Biomedical and Health Sciences
The purpose of my experiment is to find out which fabric used for masks is most useful in protecting against pathogens. The transmission of pathogens across a fabric was evaluated by measuri…
Earth and Environmental Sciences
Since entering the United States in 2014, the Spotted Lanternfly has proven to be a significant threat to plant life and the agricultural economy of its infested regions. As the flies expand…
Physics and Astronomy
Erhu is a Chinese bow-string instrument with which music played by beginners is not beautiful but annoying. Its music characteristics and noise production mechanism haven’t been thoroughly s…
Embedded Systems
As America ages, it's estimated that by 2021, nearly 45% of the country's population will be over the age of 50. While retirement years may be filled with travel, hobbies, and time with fami…
Energy: Sustainable Materials and Design
Wind turbines stand as a symbol of humanities progression towards safe, clean energy. But the towering behemoths which stand on the plains across the United States and other countries hold a…
