Abstracting the complexities of natural walking, the MotionShift Prosthetic Device utilizes artificial neural networks to replicate human-like movements. This novel approach enables users to experience a more intuitive and fluid gait pattern, closely resembling their original walking motion. By integrating advanced machine learning techniques, the MotionShift Prosthetic adapts to the user’s individual gait characteristics, making it customizable and responsive. This …
The Stimulation of Germination of Bean Seeds Using Plasma Activated Water
The primary goal of this research is to examine the expression of a few genes related to bean growth under two distinct experimental conditions: distilled water and PAW irrigation. The amount of chlorophyll, carotenoids, also the expression of some genes involved in the germination process, the rate, speed of germination and the phenotypic analysis of the samples were determined . …
Toxicity of RedBull (R)
This study evaluated the toxicity of RedBull, caffeine, sucrose, and taurine. The analysis, done at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology on Zebrafish larvae and PAC 2 cells, tested a range of concentrations of the substances. At 24h exposure, live cells observed in 100% RedBull showed major change in shape. Cells seemed unaffected in 50% Red Bull but dying in 10% …
Plant biodivesity in Estonian paintings in the 20th century
The aim of this study was to discover how broadly has plant biodiversity been reflected in Estonian art during the 20th century. Biodiversity in Estonian art has not been examined quantifiably before. Plant species were identified from 600 paintings from Estonian museums, all together it yielded over 800 plant individuals of 187 species. Contrary to the initial assumption that global …
Identifying diet based on hair isotopic analysis: A case study of modern and archaeological humans
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 …
Syrenity: Development of a moisturising cream rich in marine collagen
This project aims to produce a moisturizing cream, with collagen as the main component, a protein with moisturizing and structural properties. The collagen used in this research will be extracted from fish scales and fins, by-products of the fishing industry, aiming for a more sustainable production at a lower cost. We verified the presence of collagen in the collected material …
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 …
