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...
Metal corrosion in the US costs $2.5 trillion annually, which is equivalent to ~3.4% of the world’s gross domestic product. Implementing corrosion inhibition methods will result in global savings of 15-35% of that cost, or $375-875 billion. Kale extract could have the properties to minimize co...
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...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the degradation of joint cartilage and bone, resulting from joint overuse and injury. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a molecular system that regulates bodily functions, including pain, inflammatory responses, and immune responses. Within the ECS, cyclooxygenase-1 (COX1), ...
