The Observation of Growth Enhancers on the Development and Meat Quality of Sus scrofa | Plant Sciences | 2014 | set() | Purpose: To observe and research the growth and development of pigs, in addition to feed supplements’ effects on pork meat quality, with analyses of pH, color and tenderness.
Procedures: Weight Analysis: After selecting twelve hogs, three sub-groups of four pigs were established--Control, Fastr… | projectId=14546 | United States of America | ND | nan | [] |
The Efficacy of MSG as Positive Reinforcement in D. melanogaster Learning | Plant Sciences | 2014 | set() | Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a chemical used to enhance flavors in food. The purpose of this experiment was to investigate whether Drosophila melanogaster would display a preference for MSG. This was done by using MSG as the positive reinforcement in associative learning. The larvae were trained to… | projectId=14170 | United States of America | VA | nan | [] |
The Effects of Allium sativum on the Development and Meat Quality of Gallus domesticus | Plant Sciences | 2014 | set() | The problem studied the effects of Allium sativum on the development and meat qualityof Gallus domesticus. The discovery of natural coccidiostats is a step towards reductions in the amount of chemical products applied to poultry. The hypotheses were the broilers treated with garlic solution on wire … | projectId=13527 | United States of America | OH | nan | [] |
The Paradox of Emotional Dimensionality: The Effect of the Dimensionality of Audio Stimuli on the Brain’s Electrical Activity, a Neuroscience Study | Chemistry | 2014 | set() | There is tangible proof that music therapy works in treating symptoms of mood disorders (clinical depression and bipolar disorders), neurological disorders (schizophrenia, amnesia, Alzheimer's, etc.), and anxiety disorders (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Attention Deficit Disorder). The mechanis… | projectId=14123 | United States of America | VA | nan | ['Intel Foundation Cultural and Scientific Visit to China Award'] |
Strongyle Conundrum, Year Four | Cellular and Molecular Biology | 2014 | set() | The purpose of this experiment was to test the efficacy of the nematophagous fungi Duddingtonia flagran's in reducing the L3 Strongyles migration. The hypothesis was: If Duddingtonia flagran’s is administered to a horse daily, then migration of Strongyle third-stage larvae from feces to the pasture… | projectId=13663 | United States of America | FL | nan | [] |
State of the Invasion | Plant Sciences | 2014 | set() | Lionfish (Pterois volitans) have been commonly found in the waters surrounding St. Croix and the US Virgin Islands for six years now, and it has become common to see lionfish while diving. This study used data collected over the course of two months including 290 lionfish specimens, analyzed the be… | projectId=14491 | United States Virgin Islands | nan | nan | [] |
Leg Proposes, Antennae Disposes: Antennae Ultimately Determine the Turn Direction of the Pill Bug | Plant Sciences | 2014 | set() | The isopod, Armadillidium vulgare, or pill bug, is about 1 cm long, has 14 legs and no wings. Isopods tend to turn in alternating directions—that is, to turn in the opposite direction of the preceding turn. This is currently thought to be due to bilaterally asymmetrical leg movements (BALM). However… | projectId=13868 | Japan | nan | nan | [] |
The Effect of Envrionmental Stresses on the Gender Ratio of a Population | Cellular and Molecular Biology | 2014 | set() | It is known that after the 2011 earthquake in Japan, the sex ratio of the subsequent population was skewed in favor of girls. However, it is not known whether the environmental stress caused a gender bias due to less males conceived or more infant males dying as a result of environmental stress (or … | projectId=13272 | United States of America | FL | nan | [] |
The Ipomoea batatas Leaf: Isolation and Identification of Its Mosquito Larvicidal Agent | Plant Sciences | 2014 | set() | Past research shows that Ipomoea batatas leaf solutions yield high mortality rates in Aedes albopictus larvae (Doyle, 2013). The purpose of this project was to isolate and identify effective larvicidal agents from the leaf of the Ipomoea batatas. The hypothesis was that if Aedes albopictus larvae we… | projectId=13623 | United States of America | VA | nan | [] |
The Effect of Circadian Genes dbt and bdbt on the Lifespan of Drosophila melanogaster | Cellular and Molecular Biology | 2014 | set() | The circadian clock regulates human activities; it can affect the well-being of individuals, including their life expectancy. Doubletime (DBT) is an ortholog of mammalian casein kinase which regulates various cellular functions, including circadian clock and cell cycle.
