| | Description:
| The purpose of this project was to see how much Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure is required to kill bacteria cultures. I took 5 different bacteria that can either be found on menus or that can be transferred to the menus. I used E coli- mm294, E coli- DHS5 alpha, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus brevis, and Staphylococcus epidemidis. I would get an inoculating loop and make a line through the test tube with it and then transfer that bacteria with the loop by doing a zig zag motion onto a petri plate. Once I got through all the 188 plates I would set up the UV light. I would set the plates under the UV light for the certain time period that plate was assigned to, either 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or 30 minutes. Then I would take the plates out and wait for all the plates to be done before I put them in the incubator. Once I put it in the incubator, I set the temperature to 32°C and recorded percent coverage for 5 days. For my control, I had two of them, a positive and a negative. For my positive control I had bacteria on the plate and put them under the UV lights and for my negative I had no bacteria but then put them under the UV lights.

| | Description:
| The purpose of my experiment was to see the percentage decrease in the FEV1 to FVC Ratio between subjects with COPD and subjects that have no history of smoking, with their same classification. I hypothesized that the average percentage decrease would be 45%, based off of last year’s data. I got information (gender, age, height, FEV1, and FVC) from a pulmonary researcher. My age groups were Males 60–69, Females 60–69, Males 60–69, and Males 70–79. I had to find a person that had no history with smoking that matched up to each subject with COPD. For example, if I had a Female that was 62 years old and 5 foot 2 inches, I would need to find someone that was the same, but no history of smoking. The goal was to replicate the same person, just one of them has COPD and one of them does not. I used a Micro I Diagnostic Spirometer to gather data for the ratio. I found out that The Males 60s average was 0.42, the Females 60s average was 0.46, the Females 70s average was 0.44. Altogether, the averages only varied by 0.05, which shows consistency and accurate data.

| Drought Tolerance of Glycine max When Watered with Acetic Acid Solution
| | Description:
| Drought stress is a major factor in crop production worldwide, as climate change increases weather volatility, crops will need to cope with irregular rainfall. The addition of acetic acid to crops might allow soybeans to cope with longer periods of time without water. Three-week-old soybean seedlings were exposed to 2%, 1% and .1% of acetic acid solution and distilled water as the control. The soybean plants were subjected to two weeks without water, then watered with distilled water to determine if the plant would survive from wilting. Measurements were made by counting the number of soybean plants survived after the drought stress test. Results pending. This experiment contributes to crop production in drought-stricken environments.

| The Effects of Calcium Carbonate on Gastrointestinal Diseases Using Human Participants: Phase IV
| | Description:
| Heartburn, otherwise known as “acid reflux” or Gastroesophageal reflux (GER), is a common complaint among human population. There are several medications, over the counter and by prescription, used to treat these symptoms. Some of the most common medications are antacids such as Tums®.
These medications can be helpful but not without side effects. Although Tums® may help reduce the symptoms of heartburn, it too has side effects. Such side effects are excessive belching, nausea, abdominal distension and flatulence. When used in high doses or in a patient with kidney failure it may result in metabolic alkalosis, which if severe, can lead to muscular spasms, seizures and coma. In year one of my experimentation and research, I introduced Tums® to a hydrochloric acid and distilled water combination to determine the least amount of Tums® needed to reduce and alleviate GER. I found only ¼ at the least can alleviate pain. An extraordinary discovery considering the normal dosage recommended on the package is 2–4 Tums®. In year two, I continued the project by using the same experimentation but a different type of antacid called Milk of Magnesium. I found, again, a lesser amount is perfect to reduce the pain of GER. Year three, I, again, used the same methods but decided to try something new and find out what kind of alkaline foods can regulate stomach pH.
All of this information has brought me to year four, where I am now using real human participant research as well as physicians around U.S.’s research to determine the best method for broadening our knowledge on acid reflux and GERD to one day cure all situations regarding.

| A Comparison of the Effects of Nitrogen Fertilizers vs. Rhizobium innoculum on Trifolium pratense
| | Description:
| Nitrogen fertilizers have produced a whole host of adverse side effects upon the earth including an increase in greenhouse gases, production of acid rain, and greatly reduces the aquatic population of nearby ponds and lakes. Because of this, we hypothesized that nitrogen fertilizer would pale in comparison to a natural alternative—a nitrogen-fixing bacteria called Rhizobium innoculum—in the aspects of overall growth and cell appearance of Trifolium pratense. To conduct our experiment, we grew three sections of medium red clover (Trifolium pratense) with six slots in each section. One was sprinkled with Rhizobium innoculum, and two were left to grow for five days—all were watered regularly. After five days, we treated one section with 32–0−0 nitrogen fertilizer. We continued the experiment until the clover reached the end of its life cycle—another week or so. At the conclusion of our experiment, we tested the fresh vs. dry weight of all three sections of plants: bacteria-treated, fertilizer-treated, and control. To do so, we measured out seven grams of plants (including roots, leaves, and stems) from each of the sections. Then, we baked them on a cookie sheet for fifteen minutes at 93.3 degrees Celsius. After this, we measured the weight again. We found that the biomass of the fertilizer-treated plants (2.4g) was much less than that of the control and bacteria-treated plants—which produced the same results (3.3g). This tells us that the control and bacteria-treated plants produced more overall mass than the fertilizer-treated plants did—meaning that the use of nitrogen-fixing bacteria produces greater crop growth than nitrogen fertilizer. We also viewed the cells of all three plants under the microscope to assess the state of the cell walls of the plants from all of the three sections. We found that the cell walls of the fertilizer-treated plants were collapsed, lacked color, and were, in essence, not healthy. In the control group, the plants seemed to have these same characteristics, though to a lesser degree. The group which was treated with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, however, produced cells that were a vivid green, appeared hydrated, and had maintained healthy and strong cell walls. Because of our research dealing with the negative and harmful effects of chemicals on the environment (such as those of nitrogen fertilizer), we hypothesized that the bacteria-treated plants would yield more favorable results in cell appearance and biomass than either the control or the fertilizer. As we can see from the results, that hypothesis was partially upheld. In fact, the biomass of the bacteria-treated plants was better than that of the fertilizer, but the same as the control. The cell appearance of the bacteria-treated plants, however, was better than either of the other sections. Using this information, farmers in iowa and the rest of the world could use nitrogen-fixing bacteria as an alternative to nitrogen fertilizer, which harms the environment and contributes to many environmental issues affecting the midwest and the rest of the country. Further studies to build on this project would certainly include an analysis of the crop yield of soybeans or corn as affected by the use of nitrogen-fixing bacteria or fertilizer.

| | Description:
| The threat of online abuse and harassment is unfortunately higher than it should be. Many people are hesitant to express themselves on the internet for the fear that they will be harassed. Current platforms struggle to effectively identify and prevent obscene and offensive comments. Machine learning and neural networks offer a potentially very effective solution to this issue. This work explores the potential of neural networks for identifying toxic comments. A large pool of Wikipedia comments was compiled into a training database which was used to train a convolutional neural network that was built in Python using Tensor flow. The results show that a neural network can effectively identify the nature of comments with a high degree of accuracy.

| Will that be plastic or BIOPlastic?
| | Description:
| Plastic takes up to 1,000 years to decompose naturally in a land fill. However, this has not been verified yet because plastic has not been around that long. If we continue filling our landfills with this material, our planet will suffer. Some types of plastic can be recycled, but only certain types of plastic and not everyone does. The alternative? Bioplastic. Bioplastic is short for biodegradable plastic, and it does exactly that. In landfills, it takes anywhere from 2 weeks to a few months to decompose, making it a much more efficient solution. However, the question remains, is it more biodegradable and is it just as strong as normal plastic? I hypothesized that the bioplastic would be more biodegradable than plastic and would be just as strong. To test this, I created by own bioplastic using corn starch, glycerin, gelatin, and water. I found the ideal ratio of the ingredients to get the texture and strength that I wanted. I then tested the biodegradability of the bioplastic in comparison to normal plastic. I create a composting bin and placed three of both types of plastic inside. After two weeks, the plastic lost no weight and the bioplastic was completely degraded. Bioplastic is obviously more biodegradable that normal plastic, and it is also more efficient. Even though the bioplastic costs more, it is still a reasonable alternative to plastic. My hypothesis was upheld.

| Microstimulation is not a new technology, however, many of its benefits are still valid today. When taking the concepts of microstimulation and applying them to simple invertebrate organisms, we can understand the various opportunities presented by this technology. For our project, we used electrodes attached to a wireless “backpack” to utilize the neurons in a discoid cockroach. Using bluetooth, we were able to send a signal to the electrodes thus igniting a spark in the cockroach’s brain. The many purposes of this project are limited only by constant advances in technology.
Microstimulation is a technique that stimulates a small population of neurons by passing a small electrical current through a nearby microelectrode. In order to control the cockroach, we had to perform neural-interface surgery. Our procedure is similar to the techniques scientists use when dealing disabilities of neural function.
In conclusion, the experiment supported our hypothesis. We were able to stimulate the neurons in a cockroach with microstimulation induced by electricity from electrodes. After an average of 2.5 minutes, the reactions decreased in accuracy signalling the adaptations of the cockroach.
