ON GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATIONS OF GRIMM’S CONJECTURE AND MINIMAL INTERVAL LENGTHS
(University of Texas at Arlington, 2022-05)Grimm's Conjecture asserts that given any sequence of consecutive natural numbers, say n +1, n + 2,...,n + k for integers n and k. there exists k distinct primes, p1, p2,..., Pk, such that n + i is divisible by Pi, for all ... -
THE EFFECT OF THE MUTAGEN ACRIDINE ORANGE ON THE DNA OF THE MINUTE PLANKTON CRUSTACEANS, DAPHNIA
(University of Texas at Arlington, 2022-05)Acridine Orange is a fluorescent dye, which can smoothly permeate a cell membrane. Acridines are considered to produce frameshift mutations, where the insertion or deletion of a base pair occurs. Daphnia, plankton crustaceans, ... -
A STUDY OF VORTEX AND VORTICITY IN A LAMINAR FLOW
(University of Texas at Arlington, 2022-05)Vortices are ubiquitous in nature. From kitchen sinks to galaxies, they can be found everywhere. Usually, the swirling motion of fluids comes to mind when one thinks of vortices. Being significantly important in various ... -
LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS OF RECYCLED AGGREGATE AND RECYCLED PLASTIC IN CONCRETE
(University of Texas at Arlington, 2022-05)Life cycle analysis [LCA] can compare the environmental impact of products and processes. When waste plastic and waste concrete is not responsibly disposed of, it can end up harming sensitive ecosystems by secreting toxins ... -
FLAWED FEMALE PROTAGONISTS AS FIGUREHEADS OF SOCIAL CHANGE IN TOMI ADEYEMI’S LEGACY OF ORISHA SERIES AND SUZANNE COLLIN’S THE HUNGER GAMES TRILOGY
(University of Texas at Arlington, 2022-05)Recent years have witnessed female characters at the forefront of fantasy and dystopian works. Through Katniss Everdeen, Zélie Adebola, and Amari Olúborí, this work aims to illustrate how flawed female protagonists leading ... -
A STUDY OF ALGORITHMIC BIAS WITH A FOCUS ON MITIGATION PRACTICES AND AN ANALYSIS OF DISCRIMINATION CONSCIOUS DATA MINING
(University of Texas at Arlington, 2022-05)Algorithmic bias is a moral error within computer systems that is often left undetected due to a lack of set procedures. The aim of this study was to find the source of this bias leading to possible procedural solutions ... -
RECYCLED AGGREGATE AND RECYCLED PLASTIC IN CONCRETE
(University of Texas at Arlington, 2022-05)Disposal of waste plastic and waste concrete aggregates is a widespread issue across the globe. If not responsibly disposed of, the waste winds up in sensitive ecosystems where it leeches toxins into its surroundings. In ... -
APPLICATION OF LOG-CONCAVITY PROPERTY OF NON-RUIN PROBABILITY IN ALLOCATION OF INSURANCE POOLS
(University of Texas at Arlington, 2022-05)Consider a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables Zi, i = 1,2,... and an integer-valued random number M with a log-concave pmf that is independent of Zi, = 1,2,. It is known that Sy = Le1 Z; ... -
HOW WAG31 AFFECTS THE GROWTH OF THE MYCOBACTERIAL CELL WALL
(University of Texas at Arlington, 2022-05)Tuberculosis, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, kills over a million people worldwide each year. To understand how mycobacterial cells grow, we are studying growth in the model organism Mycobacterium ... -
LEARNING-BASED MINIMUM TIME-ENERGY PATH PLANNING THROUGH INTEGRAL REINFORCEMENT LEARNING FOR A MULTIVEHICLE NONLINEAR SYSTEM SUBJECT TO UNKNOWN DISTURBANCES AND COLLISION AVOIDANCE
(University of Texas at Arlington, 2022-05)The path planning problem is crucial in the field of autonomous navigation. By applying integral reinforcement learning, it is possible not just to create a system that iteratively improves upon itself in pursuit of a ... -
Hazard Rate Estimation Based on Censored Data and Measurement Error
(2022-05)Motivated from lung cancer study data, we consider a model 𝑋 = 𝑍 + 𝐸, where 𝑋 is an observable variable and 𝑍 is a hidden variable contaminated in 𝑋 with a measurement error 𝐸. Such a model can also apply to ... -

Homogenous Mixing of Two Materials in an Integrated Pellet Metering System
UTA’s LAMMA Lab has created a pellet 3D printer by attaching a Massive Dimension Pellet Extruder head to the end of a Kuka 6 degree of freedom robotic arm. The printer must have constant access to two pellet reservoirs and ... -
BIOMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF PORCINE NEONATAL EPIDERMIS FROM FORELIMB TISSUE IN THE LONGITUDINAL AND CIRCUMFERENTIAL DIRECTIONS
In adult humans, it is common to replace damaged tissues and epidermal tissues of smooth muscles on internal organs with porcine xenografts during a surgical procedure. However, there is little research on the usage of ... -
Simulated Blood Glucose Meter Design for Educational Simulation in Healthcare
A commonly performed point-of-care test is the measurement of a patient’s blood glucose, a process currently practiced in healthcare simulation with minimal realism at UTA’s Smart Hospital. Training of healthcare professionals ... -
The Effects of Miniaturization on the Brain Case of Gymnopthalmodiea (Squamata)
The concept of miniaturization states that as we go down the phylogenetic tree, species begin to become smaller in body size due to environmental pressures, especially within the Gymnophtalmoidea squamata. We question how ... -
