Third Award
Heart allograft rejection occurs when transplanted cardiac tissue is rejected by the recipient’s immune system, which destroys the transplanted tissue. The effect of its treatment heavily de…
ISEF · 2015
Currently, oral cancer patients visit a pathologist in order to determine the severity of their oral cancer. The pathologist then takes a biopsy of the oral tissue, which undergoes a chemica…
ISEF · 2015
Fourth Award
The purpose of this project was to create a low cost, highly functional, and lightweight computer mouse device that could be used with a large range of physically impaired and disabled perso…

Applied Mechanics & Structures
Objectives/Goals When mixed liquid and gas fluid flows undergo violent motions, a free surface forms between the liquid and the gas. If the motion is severe enough, such as the breaking of a…
ISEF · 2015
Third Award
Mapping and orientation in 3-D space is one of the fundamental challenges of robotics. However, it still poses a problem because of its high computational difficulty. In my work I present a…
ISEF · 2015
Fourth Award
Solar power technologies, which offer sustainable, clean energy sources, are developing to improve efficiency of energy conversion and storage. Concentrated solar power (CSP) plants are an e…
ISEF · 2015
Ocean acidification is the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth’s oceans, caused by an increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. The more CO2 produced, the more oceans absorb.…
ISEF · 2015
The purpose of this project is to utilize mixed plastic regrind in concrete as a practical and environmentally friendly use of waste that would otherwise end up in landfills or worse — the e…

Behavioral & Social Sciences
Objectives/Goals The goal of my project was to see if scrambling the letters of the words in the tests would affect the speed and accuracy of the subjects scores on the Stroop Effect test. T…
ISEF · 2015
In our everyday lives, networks play an important role: networks like the internet, the road system of a society, the atoms of a molecule or the neurons of a brain. The mathematical discipli…
ISEF · 2015
This research is a study of dynamic graph labeling on the vertices of a polygon. We start the labeling by using a set of integers and continually perform the following operation: choose the…
