Examination of Dragonflies (Pantala Flavescens): Characteristics, Identification and Migration Paths

Alya K.

This study explores the Pantala flavescens species' anatomy and mechanisms for long-distance migrations.

The Pantala flavescens is a long range migratory dragonfly known for its widespread global population. Some recent research has suggested it can travel 4500 km in its lifetime, making it one of the farthest known migratory insects. This study explores the Pantala flavescens species' anatomy and mechanisms for long-distance migrations. Convolutional neural networks and transfer learning were used for image recognition of Pantala flavescens. Stable hydrogen isotope values are analyzed to locate the species' geographic origin. By gaining a better understanding of the Pantala flavescens’ definite migration routes, the study aims to minimize potential harm from climate change.

Landfill Net: A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) Architecture for the Detection of Landfills from Satellite Imagery in the Continental United States
This project presents a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model that identifies landfills in the U.S. using image data, achieving a 97.1% test accuracy. By supporting the creation of a national landfill database, the model can help detect illegal sites and guide the expansion of methane capture systems to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Machine Learning Algorithms for Consumer Plastics Identification and Sorting
Seeking a solution to maintain plastic recycling costs while increasing the output of reusable material, this paper poses the question “what type of machine learning algorithm is most suitable for a plastic identification system in consumers’ homes?” It investigates five total machine learning algorithms to determine which one best balances accuracy, management of resources, and time efficiency, ultimately arriving at the conclusion that a Support Vector Machine that uses a Polynomial Kernel is the best algorithm and serves to demonstrate that algorithms such as the ones analyzed have become advanced enough for more efficient, AI driven systems to replace those of the status quo.
