Dairy beverages contain a rich source of nutrients including vitamins, calcium which is essential for growth and disease prevention. Lactose intolerance hinders 65% of the world population f…
Biochemistry
Daphnia Magna are planktonic crustaceans that are commonly known as “water fleas”. The Daphnia live in multiple environments varying from freshwater lakes to acidic swamps. Although, they ca…
Chemistry
Objectives The objective of this project is to investigate the effect of acidity on the dye sorption of the animal fiber wool. Methods Dyebaths of various vinegar concentrations were prepare…
Biochemistry
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia that has no known cure. Many scientists believe that the disease results from toxic changes in the brain that include large deposits o…
Chemistry
Fourth Award
Objectives We aim to develop methods to detect the amount of leaf pigments. We will then use the methods to study the effect of temperature and light exposure to the pigments in picked leafy…
Chemistry
Fourth Award
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are a rapidly developing technology with applications in biosensorics, targeted drug delivery, cancer therapy, diagnostics, and purity testing. One of their proper…
Chemistry
Objectives The purpose of this project is to see how water can be used as a renewable energy source by testing how efficient a cobalt-based catalyst will be in producing molecular oxygen fro…
Chemistry (inferred)
Cotton balls were tested after being exposed to different substances. Combustion is when compounds combine with oxygen and produce heat. There are two types of combustion, complete and incom…
Chemistry
Paint coatings are widely used in the modern world, especially for corrosion protection of the metal with simultaneously formation decorative image. But the main disadvantage of pain coating…
Chemistry
After investigating and selecting the different plastics considering that most plastics are frequently used, we begin to prepare the samples using the following recognition criteria to class…
Chemistry
Objectives This research project aims to find trends, in reactivity and in chain length, among similar deep eutectic solvents (DES) in order to design more catalytically efficient DESs. Curr…
Chemistry
Third Award
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently been introduced as a possible drug delivery system due to their porous, three-dimensional crystalline structure, created by repeated reaction of…
Chemistry
Objectives The purpose of this project is to find a chemical reaction that removes (scrubs) carbon dioxide gas from semi-fixed sources, without needing to store pure carbon dioxide as a gas,…
Chemistry
Objectives The ocean is home to 8 million tons of plastic, which contains polymers that are too large to degrade. Thus, I sought out to find a method of chemically degrading plastic using hy…
Chemistry
The addition of nanoparticles to materials has the ability to enhance a variety of characteristics such as their mechanical and optical properties. These properties are often highly correlat…
Chemistry
Third Award
Tragedies such as the 2008 and 2018 cholera epidemics in Zimbabwe can be avoided in future if cheaper methods of water purification are developed . Capillary action was investigated as a pos…
Chemistry
Objectives I have investigated the production of hydrogen gas using multiple elements by running an electric current through water and sodium hydroxide. Methods I made an apparatus with two…
