Objectives/Goals The hypothesis is that there is a distinct correlation between Helicobacter Pylori infection and a specific type of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (C-constipation, D-diarrhea, or…
ISEF · 2015
Cosmic rays are high penetrating particles that originate in outer space and consist partly of high energy atomic nuclei (Kormen, 2009). The question was what effect does scintillator config…
CSEF · 2015
Materials Science (Junior Division Only) Honorable_mention Award
Objectives/Goals My objective was to learn how well different materials block cosmic rays. My hypothesis is that the denser the material, the more cosmic rays it will block. Based on that, a…

According to the Department of Meteorology and Climate Study at San Jose State University, seventy-four heat stroke deaths among children in the United States in the last two years were caus…
ISEF · 2015
Second Award
The neurotrophin BDNF has been shown to engage in retrograde signaling and interneuronal transport, causing increased synaptic transmission and neurogenesis, respectively. It was hypothesize…
CSEF · 2015
Physics & Astronomy
Objectives/Goals Ferroelectric materials have wide-ranging electronic applications due to their uniquely switchable electrical polarization states. This work studied the effect of compositio…
ISEF · 2015
This project investigates the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and determines the effects it has on: rainfall rates, sea surface temperatures (SST), and wind stress on the ocean using a s…
CSEF · 2015
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals Can cattle discriminate between feed pans that are the same type, but two different colors? This research applies to showing cattle and the day to day care of them. This pro…
ISEF · 2015
Antibiotic resistance is caused by over-prescription and under metabolism of antibiotics. Eventually through sewer and water processing, antibiotics find their way into our drinking water an…
ISEF · 2015
Biomedical and Health Sciences
