A dual energy radiography method using basis decomposition was developed, the process to do it is shown and it is compared against an alternate more direct method of analyzing the data using the logarithm of the original data, concluding that this second method does work but it is not better than basis decomposition.

With the detectors currently off, LIGO has detected and gathered an abundance of data from the second observing run (O2). Some of which, captures the most recent triggers that are potential candidates for future gravitational waves, are analyzed more thoroughly. My responsibility as a student researcher is to perform independent checks on four of the most recent Compact Binary Coalescence (CBC) triggers. In order to do so, I compare the \(h(t)\) Omega scans of these events to the Gravity Spy classes. Omega scans are a detector characterization tool to help measure the Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR) of transient noises during detections. This helps scientists distinguish the difference between a gravitational wave signal, which looks like a `chirp' versus a glitch in the data. Gravity Spy is a citizen science program that helps LIGO in classifying glitches to improve machine learning for gravitational wave signals. For each event I determine if it looks like one of the known categories of solved or unsolved glitches seen in the Advanced LIGO detectors? My results are then recorded in the O2 event detection checklist. Omega scans are a `burst-type' search pipeline that detect glitches efficiently. The Omega scan is labeled using time measured in seconds on the x-axis, frequency measured in Hz on the y-axis and the signal measured is normalized to demonstrate how `loud' the noise is.

The future of alternative energy storage for vehicles is bright because the use of hydrogen in the economy provides various solutions to environmental situations. Hydrogen is as flexible as electricity in that it can be produced in both renewable and non-renewable sources of energy. However, the literature written focuses on the conditions that are needed to be accounted for when it comes to switching to hydrogen as an alternative energy storage using statistical analysis. By taking an economic and environmental investigation, hydrogen has the best air pollution emissions in comparison to conventional, hybrid and electric vehicles. It is also found that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are simpler in design which accounts for its weight that is much lighter than most vehicles. Ergo, hydrogen is the preferred fuel for fuel cell vehicles because of efficiency that can increase the potential for a sustainable climate.

This is a paper that examines the variability of Chlorophyll a in the North Atlantic Ocean.

This research is a mathematical model based upon the human influence on the predator-prey relationship between Red Panda and Snow Leopard, which are the major species in the mountain ecosystem. This research explores if these species get extinct in a certain area due to imbalance in their interaction. Firstly, simple model of the species is discussed with no interaction between the species. Interactive model is then introduced to simulate their population when they interact with each other. The human influence is then introduced to the interactive model to observe if the species get extinct.

The human influence is then introduced to the interactive model to observe if the species get extinct. All the models are simulated in python programs using Euler's method. The data in this research are approximated for a certain area based upon the population density and habitat of the two species. All the models are simulated in python programs using Euler's method.
