Included in this study is the testing of nuclides/compounds for purposes of discovering alternate materials for reactor control rods and nuclear containment. Nuclides/compounds are chosen on the basis of many factors, including but not limited to radiative capture cross-section, density, lattice structure, isotope stability, and rarity. Fission cross-section, proton-induced cross-section, and α-particle-induced cross-section are reduced to zero in this study for simplicity.

Asteroid collision risks are real and unpredictable. Sixty-six million years ago, the Chicxulub asteroid impact is thought to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. My project proposes to strengthen planetary defense by using robotic telescopes, open-source data, math, and Python to find unknown  but potentially dangerous asteroids.

Conventional batteries require relatively large amounts of  energy to be sustained and need to be recharged consistently. When thrown away, the metals and solution within the battery may be toxic to the environment. Based on the research conducted by the University of Cambridge, algae could be used to make a biological photovoltaic battery (BPV), a battery that uses photosynthesis from microorganisms to remain charged. The electrons produced from photosynthesis act as a catalyst for the battery.

Worldwide, whales are endangered due to various threats, such as illegal whaling, unstable climate, and commercial fishing, to name a few. In order to mitigate these threats, we first need to know where and when whales are present, and one way to do that is to track them using their calls. Our goal was to determine if there was a correlation between the duration of fin whale presence and season.

This research aims to investigate the effect of 16/8 intermittent fasting on type 2 diabetes. The results of the meta-analysis show that fasting blood glucose decreased among people with type 2 diabetes who followed 16/8 IF. Thus, IF could be considered as an intervention to slow down the progression of type 2 diabetes without the use of medication.

This study aims to investigate if it is possible to reverse chronic T2DM with diet and lifestyle modifications; and to find the effects of WFPB diet, exercise, time-restricted eating, and losing extra weight, on the blood glucose level and other health markers. To investigate this, extensive online research and meta-analysis reviews were conducted. Moreover, three comprehensive experiments, more than 200 blood glucose tests and lab tests were also conducted, along with many statistical tests.

This study aims to identify if the immunization coverage of influenza, from 2019 to 2021, has been affected by the availability of COVID-19 vaccines in Canada, England and Australia. Precisely, to determine if the influenza vaccine uptake is significantly different after the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines in 2021 in the three chosen countries with a close-range of populations.
