Environmental Engineering
First Award
Objectives/Goals # Objectives/Goals- Our objective was to build a microbial fuel cell of our own design and see if it would produce electricity with a bacterial environment growing in the an…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
First Award
Objectives/Goals The project goal was to improve upon my year one project, an electromagnetic accelerator, and compare the performance between pre-wrapped and hand wrapped magnetic coils wit…
Product Science (Junior Division Only)
First Award
Objectives/Goals I conducted this experiment to determine whether natural or pharmaceutical antibiotics would be better at preventing antibiotic resistance from occurring within E. coli stra…
Physics & Astronomy
First Award
Objectives/Goals The Leidenfrost phenomenon occurs when a liquid in contact with a sufficiently hot mass produces an insulating vapor layer which supports the liquid itself. However the pres…
Behavioral & Social Sciences
First Award
Objectives/Goals This study evaluated whether pharmacy patient medication information (PMI) sheets effectively communicate pharmaceutical safety information. Pharmacies rely on PMI sheets to…
Chemistry
First Award
Objectives/Goals My Project is to measure and compare the rate of Hydrolysis of Sucrose catalyzed by Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) and Invertase Enzyme using a Polarimetric Technique. Methods/Mate…
Zoology
First Award
Objectives/Goals Gamete cryopreservation can play an important role in conservation strategies for at-risk abalone species. Red abalone (Haliotis rufescens)are listed as threatened in Califo…
Microbiology
First Award
Objectives/Goals Developing an herbal antibacterial that is safe to use on Agaricus bisporus would be very useful in the mushroom cultivation industry. It was hypothesized that herbal antise…
Earth & Planetary Sciences
First Award
Objectives/Goals The analyst completed in 2005 a study of 3d seismic and well data in the Sacramento basin that revealed a subsurface, circular, ~5500-m-diameter feature, which is buried 1,4…
Cognitive Science (Junior Division Only)
First Award
Objectives/Goals The objective is to compare the effect of different types of contextual clues on the analysis of words. Methods/Materials Thirteen people aged 40-50 were asked to unscramble…
Plant Biology
First Award
Objectives/Goals If 30 native Mojave Desert shrub species are collected, then a relative flammability rating system can be developed based on the variables of combustibility, sustainability,…
Earth & Planetary Sciences
First Award
Objectives/Goals My project was to determine the profile of a desert wash from top to bottom.I hypothesized the profile of a desert wash would change down the length of the wash.I predicted…
Microbiology
First Award
Objectives/Goals I did my project on ways of washing spinach to eliminate bacteria. I used 5 different washes. My hypothesis was if I washed the spinach with a salt water solution then there…
Mathematics & Software
First Award
Objectives/Goals A fast algorithm for both testing the tree-realizability of a distance matrix and constructing the optimal realization is presented. The fastest existing algorithms are only…
Pharmacology/ Toxicology
First Award
Objectives/Goals This research is intended to study possible relationships between the diversity of diatoms and the concentration of acetaminophen present in their aquatic environment. The p…
