Quantitative information about dietary patterns of modern or archeological humans can provide insight into the lives, status or even moral principles of the individuals. This case study analysed 8 modern humans from different dietary groups and 3 archeological humans, Anna von Igelström (1732-1760), Lady of the Teller chapel (ca 19th century) and a young mummy boy (ca 350-50 BC), to …
The mysteries of everyday speech: A comparative analysis of pitch in European languages
From the earliest mechanical synthesizers in the late 1800s to the advent of current virtual voices, each with its own distinct personality and style, speech synthesis has captivated researchers for generations. The end goal always being to produce syntheses that are indistinguishable from genuine human speech. The endeavor holds increasing importance in today’s world, spanning from supporting people with speech …
Future of Autism
With a prevalence of 1 per 100. Autism represents a global challenge. Behavioral improvement with specialists is the only proven method with high socioeconomic challenges. Therefore, an application was created that assesses the condition of a case with autism. It uses GARS, followed by filling Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale 5th edition report. It makes a custom program suitable for the case …
Development of small regeneratively cooled rocket propulsion systems
The possibility of mixed propellant regenerative cooling for small low cost liquid bi-propellant rocket engines is investigated. Thermochemical analysis have been performed to characterise propellant performance and numerical simulation software has been developed to estimate the thermal performance of a regeneratively cooled N2O ethanol rocket engine. A 100N thrust 3D printed aluminium rocket engine has been designed and tested. Martin …
Let There Be (Optimal) Light
Vertical farming, where crops are grown vertically indoors, uses more than 600% energy per kg of crops produced compared to traditional greenhouses. By reducing the amount of light exposed to the lettuce plant rocket, a reduction of this energy consumption could be achieved. By exposing rocket to 7 hours of light per day an energy saving of 10% per kg …
aquadynamic coating
Do you love saving money and becoming more climate and environmentally friendly in the process? Then this is the project for you! This project revolves around the amazing invention of “ship paint,” specifically top coats, and how they can be made more efficient and cost-effective. This type of paint repels living organisms from the ship’s hull, reducing unnecessary friction. The …
Revitalization of the Libechov castle area – architectural studies of new buildings
As cities age and population density increases there is a need for sustainable use of historic town centres for 21st century needs. Demolish historic architecture? Or rather complement it with modern architecture that respects its surroundings and the ever-increasing demands for sustainability? Our project shows that this is possible and proves it by applying it to a specific example. We …
Study of the R38-K40 ribosome binding site in the Rack1 protein using the Morg1 protein model
Stress granules (SG) are the membraneless organelles which modulate the cells response to stress conditions. The transmission of protein Rack1 into the SG induces cancer cell resistance against some chemotherapeutics. The mechanism of its transfer is difficult to study because mammalian cell lines with mutated or depleted Rack1 are very unstable. Here we suggest using a similar protein Morg1 as …
Codeventure
Codeventure is an educational game designed to enhance algorithmic and programming skills in young school-aged children. While computer technology is pervasive in our world, we often overlook the importance of hands-on manipulation of real objects for children’s development. To address this, we have developed a game that incorporates tangible objects in the form of game cards. The implementation of the …
Natural seagrass residues transformed into a phosphorous absorbing ally by becoming a fertilizer
This project aims to investigate the potential use of thermally treated seagrass P. Oceanica to recover phosphate from wastewater and the production of a fertilizer substitute. Posidonia Oceanica residues were thermally treated at 550o C for 15 minutes and were tested as an adsorbent of phosphate for water collected from Finikaria dam. Results shows that thermally treated seagrass could be …
