The negative early and late health consequences from exposure to artificial sources of radiation are particularly apparent in victims of radiological emergencies who were diagnosed with cancer, radiation pneumonitis, among other conditions. The renaissance of nuclear energy, increased use of ionizing radiation in the medical field, and nuclear threats from...
Polymers occupied nearly every facet of our daily lives, and enhancing their mechanical and fracture properties has long been an important topic in the field of polymer science. Based on the various need in applications, polymers are designed to have a range of characteristics such as tackiness, optical properties, mechanical...
We all—users, businesses, governments, and the general public—expect internet platform companies, like Meta, Alphabet, and Amazon to govern their users. Without platform governance, we all experience disasters like foreign election interference, vaccine misinformation, counterfeiting, and even genocide.
Unfortunately, the platform companies have failed. To this day, despite the lessons from...
This project utilizes QCI Inc.’s Qatalyst quantum optimization tools to find the most optimal solution to a randomly generated maze. The maze is traversed and mapped into a spanning tree and then transformed into a set of linear constraint functions. The constraint functions and an objective matrix are used to...
Utilizing a quantum computer and Microsoft Q# SDK to create a quantum neural network aimed to recreate a predetermined dataset that contains feature map parameters. The algorithm was used to simulate solar system models closely resembling real life, visualized using the 3D modeling engine Blender and Unreal Engine 5.
The...
The objective of this project is to build an implementation of the Prisoner’s Dilemma game that takes advantage of quantum properties. Besides the two options we see in a classical prisoner’s dilemma, to confess and to not confess, we introduce an additional quantum option that gives both players a better...
The aviation industry is set to see another significant leap in new technology, namely electric aircraft. As of the time of this research, both 9-seat and 19-seat aircraft would be ready to be launched by air service providers under the Essential Air Service (EAS) program. While electric aircraft manufacturers are...
At her first press conference, Eleanor Roosevelt, uncertain of her role as hostess or leader, passed a box of candied grapefruit peel to the thirty-five women journalists. Nearly sixty years later, Hillary Clinton, an accomplished professional woman and lawyer, tried to mollify her critics by handing out her chocolate-chip cookie...
