The failure of Google Glass changed the path of augmented reality (AR), delaying its integration into a mass market by years. Google Glass contained numerous technical limitations that companies are still facing today. The product also showcased the social issues that come with the technology. Shared privacy concerns among many cause consumer reluctance, with information tyrants such as Google leading and largely controlling AR development. In addition to privacy concerns, health concerns steer people away from the technology. Worse yet, the many negative connotations associated with AR give it a stigma that causes major social limitations. Without normalization of the technology, people will not be interested to invest large sums of money in a product centered on convenience rather than purpose. This lack of purpose and perceived unknowns, combined with the pragmatic elements of a low battery life and glitchy, bulky design, makes the technology unappealing. Companies today are attempting to circumnavigate these problems in multiple ways. Some are attempting to create a product with a centralized purpose that solves a problem. Others are using already established industries such as the smartphone or gaming market to sell a more manageable product. Some companies have abandoned the idea of selling AR products, and are instead using it as a service.
Augmented reality is a field that still must develop due to its initial setbacks, compelling companies to become creative with the technology’s usage. The consumer market is not adapted to wearable AR, making normalization necessary for further progression in the field.

It is a well-known fact that congenital heart disease (CHD) can cause life-long health complications, especially if it impairs other bodily functions early in life. One of these complications is the risk of developing a serious neurodevelopmental disorder known as autism spectrum disorder (AuSD). With some case studies identifying the linkage of CHD and AuSD, it has been successfully established that being diagnosed with CHD does increase a child’s chances of developing AuSD later in life. There is not a simple answer for why this occurs. However, there are several factors that can contribute to why CHD increases the risk of developing autism. Some possible explanations may include synthetic factors such as the alteration of blood flow in genetic pathways due to early cardiac surgery. These explanations can also include uncontrollable factors such as demographics, maternal conditions, and viral infections, all of which are just as likely as synthetic factors. This research, based on case studies conducted recently, further reinforces the conclusion that the diagnosis of certain lesions of CHD results in an elevated risk of developing AuSD.

The rising global prevalence of obesity presents a diminished quality of life and life expectancy. Though a myriad of factors contributes to obesity, one of the leading factors is excessive adipose tissue accumulation increases the body’s production of the leptin satiety hormone resulting in leptin resistance. Leptin resistance results in increased vulnerability to obesity through improper regulation of insulin, a decline in metabolic functions, and decreased sex hormone levels. Leptin resistance is treated with natural treatments, leptin replacement therapy, testosterone replacement therapy, and insulin-sensitizing drugs, although all are met with limited results. Since leptin vastly affects sex hormone levels, leptin resistance has an adverse effect on obese children and adolescents. In this review, we examine the causes of leptin resistance, treatments for leptin resistance, and the effect of leptin resistance on childhood development.

This paper reviews the literature concerning the mechanisms of music therapy that improve the quality of life for patients with neurodegenerative diseases. Music therapy is a remedial practice involving music to help improve health. Certain professional therapists practice Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) as an allied health profession that provides evidence-based care to hospitalized patients, not just as a source of comfort, but also as a source of healing. This is especially the case for patients with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson’s disease, and expressive aphasia. The current growing body of researchers is investigating the effects of music therapy on memory, speech, motor control, and behavior. However, various questions remain unanswered. In this review paper, we gathered primary literature to evaluate the use of music therapy and the mechanisms that lead to successful outcomes. Music therapy is important because it provides a way to enhance comfort for diseased patients, whether in a hospitalized state or an average daily scenario. In patients with neurodegenerative diseases, music increases plasticity in areas of the brain that may improve speech, memory, behavior, and more. As we better understand the mechanisms and optimize music therapy, it may provide more ease to patients and even treat and cure certain disorders in the future.

Many lakes around the world have plankton communities that are structured by an ecological phenomenon known as size selective predation. Size selective predation is a form of predation that selects for prey of a specific desired size by the predator. Size selective predation can have an effect on both size distribution of the prey population as well as the composition of zooplankton taxa in a lake ecosystem. The overarching question being asked in this experiment is how the different zooplankton populations are affected under conditions where they are subjected to size selective predation. Within our study, we assessed the effects of size selective predation in two lakes in British Columbia, and reproduced the natural phenomenon in the lab using live zooplankton and their predators to simulate interactions in the natural world.

Since the dawn of mankind, the stars have been an inspiration for humanity. From the studies of the Greeks and the observations of the Indians and Chinese to Da Vinci’s plans and the research of the Wright Brothers, exploring the sky, space and stars has always been at the forefront of human ingenuity. In the United States, the idea of flight exploration began in the early 1900s: a true embodiment of the American dream. This paper examines developments in politics, economics and social movements in 1900s America while contrasting claims with counter arguments and exposing continuities in U.S. history to discuss the impact of the aerospace and defense industry on U.S. society. From Women’s Rights and Civil Rights to military and economics, the growth of the aerospace and defense industry paralleled a period of radical growth for American society creating lasting changes in the process.

This project measures the effects of C. metallidurians on agricultural plant growth in environments with heavy metal runoff. Heavy metals have been known to negatively impact the environment specifically in the form of runoff. Heavy metals usually accumulate plant roots and inhibit nutrient and water transportation within plants. lIn this project, heavy metals being tested include Zinc, which prevents nutrients from being transported to the leaves; Nickel, which inhibits transpiration and photosynthesis and impairs metabolism; and Copper, which can cause protein denaturation and corrupt soil viability. C. metallidurians are a type of bacteria known to have heavy metal resistant plasmids and plasmid determinants specifically directed towards a different heavy metal each, with the cnr being resistant to copper and nickel, chr being resistant to copper and zinc, and cop being resistant to specifically copper. C. metallidurans have previously been known to detoxify high concentrations of copper and gold. They more famously have been known to pump out gold nuggets from exposure to copper metals. Since the effects of other heavy metals on C. metallidurans are not as well studied, this project aims to study the effects of those other heavy metals such as Zinc, Nickel, and Copper and apply this interaction to a real-life scenario of agriculture to see if this bacteria may be able to minimize the damage of Heavy Metal Runoff pollution.

Second language learning research suggests that visual aids and illustrations have the potential to enhance proficiency and retention of vocabulary terms in a foreign language. This study builds off of this literature by studying Native English speakers learning of Polish words using images versus no images. This quantitative study compares the effectiveness of 2 learning methods within groups that studied 10 vocabulary terms in Polish: (1) participants studying with virtual flashcards with illustrations, and (2) participants studying with virtual flashcards without illustrations. After a 10-minute virtual tutorial, participants were asked to fill out a Google form that measured their vocabulary retention. They were then asked to fill out the same Google form after 5 days.

Hemigrapsus sanguineus (Asian shore crab), which is native to coastal estuarine habitats along the east coast of Asia, have overtaken a wide range of the coast in the northeastern region of the United States. Intertidal population densities of Hemigrapsus sanguineus, Cancer irroratus (Atlantic rock crab), Littorina littorea (Common periwinkle), and Modiolus demissus (Atlantic Ribbed Mussel), among others, were measured at three sample sites from 8/2/22 to 11/14/22 using quadrat sampling techniques. A period of removal was enacted solely upon Sample site #1 from 9/28/22 to 11/2/22 to cause a reduction in the Asian shore crab population. During the period of removal, no statistically significant changes in Asian shore crab demographics (Carapace size/sex ratios) would be observed (p = 0.181 for carapace size changes). There would however be an 8% decrease in Asian shore crab population density within Sample site #1, comparative to a 1% increase at Sample site 2. Rock crab population density at Sample site #1 would increase by a relatively drastic 31%, whereas the Rock crab population would experience only a 7% increase at Sample site #2. The Shannon-Weiner diversity index was used to derive the effective number of species (ENS). There would be a drastic difference in change of ENS following the removal period at Sample site #1 (increase of 0.248 ENS), and the change of ENS at Sample site #2 (decrease of 0.024 ENS), suggesting the reduction in Asian Shore Crab population played a role in increased population diversity of intertidal resident species.

Numerous physical and chemical problems at a high school level can be described by ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and partial differential equations (PDEs). However, the underlying equations troubled high school students because they often lack advanced mathematical skills, such as discrete calculus. Our goal is not to elaborate on those skills, but to offer a shortcut to the solution. In this paper, we demonstrated the use of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), a neural network which solves the PDEs by incorporating the PDEs into the loss functions. The heat transfer equation and second order chemical kinetics are the two chosen model problems for high school seniors. Using PINNs, we were able to solve these two problems without recurring to university math. Hence, we strongly recommend peers to employ this method for physical or chemical problems for high school students and beyond.
