Chemistry
Honorable_mention Award
Approximately 56,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur each year in the US, and nearly 90% of these cases are fatal. Currently, ignoring early signs and not receiving immediate care duri…
Biochemistry
Hydrogels are 3D networks of hydrophilic polymers and considered as potential wound dressing materials because of their unique properties to mimic the natural extracellular matrix. Particula…
Chemistry
Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage is not economically feasible. CO2 absorbed by monoethanolamine (MEA) to be utilized/stored must be desorbed while solvent is simultaneously regenerate…
Chemistry
In this research, we present the multi-nanomedicinal functions of a hybrid nanocomposite integrating metal oxide (CuxFe3-xO4, CFO) nanoparticles (NPs), biological bovine serum albumin (BSA)…
Chemistry
Raising livestock causes environmental challenges due to production of greenhouse gasses, need of space, and high cost. Insects, on the other hand, hardly produce greenhouse gasses, need lit…
Chemistry
First Award
It is known that substances such as cocaine, barbiturates, LSD, and its derivatives, which have a stimulant and narcotic effect, have a strong addictive effect by directly affecting the cent…
Chemistry
The utilization of wastewater containing urine as fuel in Urea Fuel Cells (UFCs) has attracted significant attention in the recent years as a safe and environmentally-friendly alternative en…
Biochemistry
Although cataract is the leading cause of blindness, there remains no treatment besides surgical removal. Identification of specific differences between normal and cataract lenses is essenti…
Chemistry
Fourth Award
Annually, 60,000 tons of textile wastewater are discharged into waterways. Azo dyes constitute a major proportion, polluting waterways by inhibiting light penetration; impairing marine organ…
Biochemistry
Metallomic imbalance impacts tumor malignancy. Previous work developed by Stelling, and collaborators demonstrated that manganese is accumulated in tumors in vivo and that tumor cells in vit…
Chemistry
Drug Delivery Systems, DDS are systems that allow the controlled release of a given active ingredient with the aim of improving the effectiveness of drug treatment and reducing the toxicity…
Biochemistry
Background: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a significant challenge in organ transplantation, as restoring blood flow to an organ post-transplantation can cause further damage and threa…
Chemistry
Fourth Award
Jake Vignevic #29 7th Grade Junior Division Chemistry St Gregory the Great Catholic School Measuring Protein and Vitamin C level in foods after different types of cooking Food is an everyday…
Biochemistry
The purpose of this experiment is to investigate how a stimulant decongestant in combination with household stimulant and depressant substances affects the action potential of Acheta domesti…
Biochemistry
Tau protein is an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) with essential roles in the assembly, stabilization, and modulation of microtubules, which play a critical role in the proper functio…
Chemistry
Fourth Award
Acetaminophen is a molecule commonly taken medicinally, yet also can present dangers due to overdosage and environmental contamination. To address these concerns, accurate detection of aceta…
Biochemistry
Opioids are leading contributors to drug overdose deaths. Currently, there are no pain medications without risk of misuse, abuse, and addiction. Oxytocin, a pituitary hormone, holds analgesi…
Chemistry
Food production heavily relies on pesticides, which can be harmful to both the environment and human health. Sustainable alternatives such as nanoemulsions made from essential oils have been…
Chemistry
Food safety and quality are two factors that are taking into consideration by the food authorities. Food preservatives are employed to ensure safety and to avoid quality disturbance happened…
Chemistry
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a global threat for public health. The resistant forms of pathogenic microorganisms develop due to the uncontrolled use of antibiotics. So, the synthes…
