Smart Home Simulation In The Virtual World, Thomas Jones-Moore, David Son
Scholars Week
The goal of this project is to produce a 'smart home' by using IoT and RFID like things in the virtual world to help solve problems. Some of these problems can be CPR training, etc. Used as an evaluation platform of suggested hardware to get a desired (or best fit) set of smart objects, or combinations with computer vision. Cost model to determine best fit based on: accuracy, lowest cost, easiest deployment, etc.

The high toxicity of mercury in the form of inorganic vapor and organic compounds has become a major concern leading scientists to investigate more accurate and effective methods for the quantification of residue mercury in drinking water, aquaculture products and industrial wastes. In this research, we designed a mercury sensor based on the amalgamation between mercury and gold nanorods (AuNRs) which relate the longitudinal surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peak shift induced by aspect ratio (AR) change after amalgamation. However, most of AuNRs synthesized based on seed mediated methods use either citrate or hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as surface stabilizing …
