Those who are in search of a crystal ball, to help them to predict future stock prices need to look at our work. While there is no such supernatural force that controls the prices of the stock market, we have a secret weapon to do this. In fact, there are some sophisticated Mathematics involved in the random movement of stock prices with a strong focus on Probability and Statistics.  We can chart the price changes with a high level of confidence while minimizing risk. This phenomenon can be seen as Random Walk or a Stochastic Process and in a formal setting is viewed as Brownian motion.

As we envision financial security, we must ask ourselves the following questions: How does one select the winning stocks? Are we interested in grouping stocks that moves with the market or those that move upwards and shun stocks that won’t give positive returns in the future? The study of Stochastic Processes, Random Walks and Brownian motion allows us to take appropriate positions on stocks and predict the market behavior in in the future while we consider many parameters that affect our world.

In addition to providing heating and cooling, modern commercial HVAC systems are required to provide ventilation air for buildings. If designed and operated correctly, these systems can greatly improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and limit the spread of various pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2 within higher education buildings and other facilities. This can be achieved using a three-step approach: ventilation, filtration, and purification. Our work describes how we can control concentrations of pathogens and other contaminants within the indoor environment.  In addition, we looked into how these methods affect energy use in buildings.

Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, previously known as Brooklyn-Queens Connecting Highway, allows people to travel between Gowanus Parkway and Triborough Bridge. However, were you aware that the BQE runs differently compared to the other counterparts of the highway? We conducted our research using newspaper archives and modern articles to understand the historical context and affecting factors. The BQE used an existing route connecting Brooklyn to the World’s Fair of 1939. The highway expansion caused families to become displaced and the neighborhood to become disturbed. The findings will help aspiring architects become more aware of how their design implications can impact the surrounding
community.

Our research topic is on virtual service with Augmented Reality. This can help anyone experience with any objects of choice. This is especially beneficial in the medical field because it can help them visualize organs, bones, or whatever they want to look at. All you have to do is put the marker Hiro logo in front of the camera to display any object of your wish that is coded. All you have to do is mentioned in the code what the object is that you want to be displayed. We used HTML and there we were able to add any shapes or objects that we wanted to display. Creating own AR app is not complex and as 3D model is superimposed on real world which provides the user with realistic experience. Thus, implementing AR could be beneficial for many purposes like training and education in medical field, first responders, firefighters, and paramedics, without being costly nor posing any threat to a person. It would mean a lot if you can help us with a fund for our project. With this, we can help so many people and make their lives easier.

In this pilot program, a team of NYCHA young adults and City Tech Architecture students formed a cohort to study the urban condition at two NYCHA Brooklyn campuses. The ARCHscholars proposed three design solutions to foster the needs of its users. These include; building greenhouses to help residences engage in urban farming to mitigate food insecurity and unemployment, renovating the Whitman Senior Center to offer a better environment for NYCHA’s seniors, and adjusting the site plan to encourage safer and more cohesive flow of circulation. Our team believes these improvements will have a direct, indirect, and long-lasting positive effect on the community.

The purpose of the Disinfection Station is to wash and dry face masks in order for them to be used multiple times which can help people stay safe during the times of COVID-19. The steps this device takes to operate are first the servo motors pull down/pull up a grid of face masks to the tray of water in order to wash the face masks. The second step it takes is that it uses the DC motor to dry off the face masks. The future steps that will be taken is to operate the device remotely using Bluetooth.

STEM-COMD Interdisciplinary Approach to Illustrating STEM Manuscripts: In this project Communication Design students get together to work on one project throughout the semester. Communication Design students’ goal is to create a creative solution for college students to help them to engage more with a STEM manual book. Students and faculty decided to execute the project as a manual with fun illustrations to be incorporated with the informative text. In the process students learn new information on soil mechanics while experiencing the similarity challenges of real world scenarios on collaboration work with the team and the client.

Hello, our names are Lin Mousa and Hayley Sanchez, this semester we participated in a research project dedicated to analyzing the interactions of contrast media with the molecular components of fruits to compare how they would react with the human brain. This project involved the injection of fruits with varying contrasts and the imaging of the diffusion and interactions of the contrast within the fruits with X-rays. With setup technical parameters on the x-ray equipment images were taken with identical setups at an hourly rate for several days. The final results of this experiment indicated that contrasts such as Gadolinium destroyed the water barrier faster, therefore making it significantly more toxic compared to the other contrasts being used such as iodine. These results are relevant now and for future experiments because further steps can be taken to understand the toxicity of contrasts that are used in the everyday health field within the human body.
