Alfafa Colony: Collaborative Workflows
Introduction: Establishing sustainable food sources on Mars is paramount for long-term colonization efforts. Inspired by the growth morphology of alfalfa and utilizing L-systems, we’ve devised a novel approach to organize and develop Martian colonies around a Mohole. This innovative design not only addresses agricultural needs but also lays the foundation for a cultural identity rooted … Read more
Saline Manifolds
Thesis Statement Poor quality health services is an emerging phenomenon in low, middle and even high income countries. The situation is worse in low and middle-income countries where 10 percent of hospitalized patients can acquire an infection during their stay, as compared to seven percent in high income countries. Moreover, the situation is even more dire … Read more
