Energy: Sustainable Materials and Design
Ever since it’s discovery in 1975, Lyme Disease has been an issue especially in North America and effects both children and adults. In 2013, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CD…
ISEF · 2015
Influenza viruses are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths each year, and vaccines are used as a primary tool for reducing their impact and severity. The rapid mutation of the virus’s…
ISEF · 2015
DNA and RNA microarrays are important tools to measure the gene expression levels in cells. However, these technologies have major limitations, such as their inability to detect genetic aber…
ISEF · 2015
The aim of this project was to construct a prototype of an inexpensive, lightweight device to provide those with temporary forearm disabilities such as broken radii and sprained wrists with…

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has the shortest survival time of any cancer, and affects more than 850,000 people worldwide as the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Understan…
ISEF · 2015
The purpose of this project was to determine which alternative treatment is the most effective at preventing E. coli O157:H7 cell growth and/or Shiga toxin production. It was hypothesized th…
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
Triangulation has been a popular choice for mapping 3D positions because of its speed and cost. However, it is constrained by the correspondence problem and limited to almost zero inter-fram…
ISEF · 2015
