Purpose of the Experiment P. aeruginosa is responsible for the second most common hospital infection. Its ExoY toxin is a promiscuous cyclase similar to other toxins like the B. anthracis Ed…
Purpose of the Experiment: The maximum number of points that can be embedded in a metric space, such that the distance between any two points is equal, is known as its equilateral dimension.…
Project's Goals: During the healing process of a patient with a broken leg the doctor instructs him to put a certain load on his leg. This load is translated by the doctor to weight. The pur…
Purpose of the Experiment Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant diseases. Of the five types of existing breast cancer, the basal like tumors we examined are the most aggressive a…
Project's Goals Though looked hyper connected, our world has large areas yet to have communication infrastructure. Large gaps exist in areas such as African deserts and Asian jungles, and ~7…
The Saffman-Taylor instability, also known as viscous fingering, forms between two fluids of different viscosities in a laminar flow environment. Viscous fingering structures are anisotropic…

Purpose of the Experiment Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a widespread metabolic disease, caused by lack of Insulin producing beta cells, or body cells Insulin resistance. Transcription factor Pax…
Mathematics
Purpose of the Experiment: Mutations in ?-glucocerebrosidase, the genetic defect in Gaucher disease (GD), are an important susceptibility factor for Parkinson disease (PD). A PD effector is…
Chemistry
Purpose of the Experiment: Plant biomass is a renewable energy source, which can be converted into biofuels for transportation. Biofuels are more environmentally friendly than conventional f…
Materials Science
Purpose of the Project The triangle is the most common term in geometry studies. Therefore, it is hard to believe anyone can discover new facts about this extensively studied subject. The pr…
Environmental Engineering
Purpose of the Experiment As the demand for oil products increases so does its maritime transportation and thus enhance the risk for an oil spill to occur. Oil Spills can cause major environ…
