Embedded Dense Neural Networks for Battery Cyclability Prediction on Automotive Microcontroller Devices

Posting: Harvard Library Office for Scholarly Communication, 2021

This paper explores the development of a testing methodology in the context of accurately predicting future battery performance using machine learning. In particular, I propose a Dense Neural Network Model that can predict battery life using data from the first 50 cycles in the battery life.

Angiotensin 1-7 blunts in vitro induced acute heart failure

Posting: European Journal of Heart Failure, 2017; The 4th World Congress on Acute Heart Failure, Paris, France, 29 April – 2 May 2017 , 2017

Angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7) comprises consistent evidences regarding cardiovascular regulatory benefits due to Ang II receptor AT1 modulation via mass receptor. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the Ang 1-7 cardiac effects in the in vitro induced acute heart failure.

The effects of Caloric restriction on the Biological Indices of Homeostasis

Posting: MoldSEF National Science and Engineering Fair, 2016

This paper studies the benefits of a caloric restrictive diet on preventing aging. In order to study the benefits of this type of diet, this paper compares the amount of antioxidants in the blood of rats under dietary restriction and in rats with normal diet. The results of the experiment can be used to explain how a dietary restriction can increase longevity. The findings might be useful in convincing people to adopt a new pattern in food consumption – reducing the daily amount of calories by 30%, thus improving life quality.
