Our project is about making our life easier, removing wires from our life, by conducting
electricity without wires (wireless electricity). Using this technology, our life would be made
easier for many reasons, like the removal of wires or batteries which, when disposed of they
pollute the environment, especially batteries, and also the entire world uses electricity and
they have spent trillions of dollars for building electricity towers, producing wires and batteries, etc. By using wireless electricity all these expenses will be used for other things that
we need like our health(for hospitals, etc.), and education in the poor countries, etc. So this is
why are making this project, so we can help the world and the environment.

We hypothesize that the Baobab fruit can help in reducing the amount of intake of insulin
by people with type 2 diabetes since it is very rich in polyphenols. Our aim in this project is
to show the wonders that the Baobab tree can do and to prove amount of insulin intake by
people who have type 2 diabetes can be reduced by consuming a certain amount of Baobab
powder daily.
Iron Deficiency Anemia continues to represent a major public health problem worldwide, Africa, especially in Angola. Malaria is also a common disease in our country and unfortunately
it contributes to iron deficiency by causing intravascular hemolysis with subsequent loss of
iron in the urine. And it is also obvious that people can not get enough iron because of the
poor conditions. Due to the high percentage of iron (35%) and vitamin C in Tamarind we decided to use it to build up the iron levels as quickly as possible in the blood. We hypothesize
that the tamarind fruit can help fight against IDA since it has a high percentage of iron and
vitamin C. (which increases the absorption of iron)

The novelty of ecological modelling in big cities
We offer the model, which can help to plant trees correctly in every big country and city.
This model will help to control the vitality of each tree. Why is it so important? Nowadays the
biggest problem in ecology is polluted air. With our project we can relatively change this.
How can we do this? In our work we used 2 methods: monitoring and multi-modelling. First
stage is monitoring. During the monitoring we paid attention to the following parameters:
1. Integrity of the trees 2. The density of the trees 3. Species compositions 4. The amount of
trees crown We took a segment of one of Baku street. Then we constituted the model of this
segment. Based on flaws of the real model, we constituted the ideal model for this segment.
the ideal system of trees can absorb the most volume of dust, CO2, noise pollution and other
parameters.

Let’s Wash Malaria
Adna Gorinjac
The animal that is responsible for the largest number of deaths is not the shark, the lion nor
is the crocodile, that animal is mosquito. It is cause of about 207 million cases of malaria. I
aimed to study which plants are natural mosquito repellents. Extracts of selected flowering
plants, which are considered eco-friendly, are used for the treatment of numerous ailments
and vector control worldwide. The special formula is added to soap and to offer a very accessible, low-cost anti-malaria tool. The soap was made with oils that are effective repellents
against mosquito. To prove theory, I used feeding-choice test in flight-cage with mosquito
having access to two blood-soaked sanitary pads, one of which was treated with lemongrass
oil, showed that mosquitoes spent more time in the untreated zone than in the treated zone.
These results suggest that lemongrass oil could be used as an effective repellent against
mosquitoes.

The most valuable asset needed to resolve these problems lies in waste. Why not simply use
all the substances being wasted on the regular, including CO2? Everything that might be
considered irrelevant can be used as fuel for our ‘’furnace’’. The main aim of building such
a device is to ensure clean air and healthy food through the usage of renewable sources of
energy, which can be found in abundance and at very low price. But we have also ensured air
free of CO2 by designing our own filter included to the system. We have managed to make
our lives easier with CO2. Simple and cheap solution for many problems in the world lies in

Biostimulation to accelerate rubber degradation
The reduction on biodegradation test using biostimulation technique was done to reduce
test time. Biodegradability tests are necessary for materials development and products that
generate less environmental impact when discarded. Biodegradation tests are usually too
long and the costs are very expensive. Bioestimulation can accelerate biodegradation by enhancement of microorganisms activity already present in the inoculum, in this case soil. The
idea was to intensify microbial inoculum activity by the nutrients addition, like ammonium
sulfate and yeast extract. For the biodegradation test, six different experiments were performed: only the soil (blank), grounded rubber (negative control), grounded rubber and Dglucose (positive control) and soil samples with different combination of nutrients. The CO2
amount released during the biodegradation from soil samples have been analyzed by precipitation titrated, according to ASTM D5338-11. The results shows that rubber biodegradation
occurred as proposed in the hypothesis, which showed that is possible to reduce test time.

Identification of the birds of the federal institute
catarinense campus camboriu
With this paper, we intended to make a survey of the birds we can find in campus IFC-Camboriu, Santa Catarina, Brazil, characterized by being surrounded of intense human activity, and
thus to contribute to a better understanding of bird species in the region. Surveys of birds
have been conducted in various regions of Brazil and the main objective of his paper was to
determine the variability and the number of species and is order to have a diagnosis of the
environmental balance of the surveyed area. The survey of the birds of IFC-Camboriu, Santa
Catarina, Brazil, was conducted from June 2013 to May 2014 and on his survey we adopted the
methodology of observation of birds in their natural habitat and their identification was made
through viewing and photographic them. After being observed by the methods mentioned
above, the birds were identified and cataloged. After the data was studied, we found out that
there are 114 species of birds that are divided into 43 families and 17 orders. By the number of
species which were found, it is concluded that the area of IFC-Camboriu, Santa Catarina, Brazil,
became, over time, a shelter for birds of this region which shows a large human population
presence. The data from this survey will help to improve the implementation of a trail of bird
watching which can contribute to the environmental education of the internal and external
community.

Analysis of the liquids composition by the sound produced during heating
This project concerns the sound produced when liquids are being heated. The main factors,
which influence the sound spectrum were investigated. They appeared to be the temperature of the liquid, its volume, the vessel in which it is heated, the power of the heater, resonating materials around the vessel , characteristics of the microphone etc. A stable experimental
set-up was constructed, where these factors were put under control. The sound insulation,
the high dynamic range and good signal-to-noise ratio of the microphone contribute to the
high reproducibility of the conducted experiments. Different solutions of methanol, ethanol
and isopropanol were investigated. The main goal of the project is to show that different
substances in liquids can be detected and that this method will find numerous applications
in ecology and environmental protection, as well as in industry in controlling the quality of
the liquid products.

Influence of the feeding streams on contamination of
the Struma River
During the study the following parameters were measured on terrain: radiation of the water
and the common radiation background; acidity of the water (pH); water temperature (t,°C);
electrical conductivity (EC); total dissolved sulfur (TDS); free, total and combined chlorine
Cl; cyanuric acid CYS; total alkalinity CaCO3; free, total and combined copper Cu; iron Fe;
nitrate NO3- and nitrite NO2-. The following conclusions were figured out: Novoselska River
is contaminated around the illegal dumpsites with cyanuric acid, copper and carbonates;
Banshtitsa River is relatively clean with high carbonate content and salinity, because of illegal
dumping of building materials in the river bed; Bistritsa River is contaminated with washing
chemicals and carbonates; Struma River and its feeding rivers have high conductivity. The
disinfectants and the detergents in Struma River are in high concentrations. The copper in
the water of Bistritsa and Novoselska rivers is relatively high.

Sustainable ecosystem of sulfur bacteria which
provides energy we need in household
Bacteria have a wide range of use in obtaining electricity. They are used more often in systems like microbial fuel cell, microbial electrolysis cell as well as many other systems which
can use bacteria in the soil and their byproduct. In order for the system to be efficient it
needs to contain electrochemically active bacteria like Shewanella,Aeromonas or Desulfovibrio. Winogradsky column is great solution for growing bacteria because its mud is enriched
with sulfur and carbon which is needed for the development of bacteria that have an important role in biogeochemical cycle. Bacteria are involved in the processes which byproducts
usually are hydrogen sulfide and sulfuric or sulfurous acid. Those byproducts can be used as
an electrolyte in electrolysis. Putting galvanized and copper sheet in Winogradsky column
will trigger electrolysis and then electricity, hydrogen may be produced. Winogradsky column is a cheap, sustainable ecosystem.

Sunlight Power
Abdurrahman Özkardes
Ahmet Erdem
In our project we want to put on as good as new energy. We want to go to renewable forms
of energy and rely on solar, water, wind energy more. That should be good for the environment and make our future better. A train travels 100 km / h in this wind is a lot of energy.
This energy we want to use, so we convert this wind energy into kinetic energy in the form
of power from a wind generator into electricity and bring to power the train. This should
conserves power. So we have come to the following research question: “How much electrical
energy could be saved with the renewable Energy forms like wind and solar energy with a
train driving 1h?”
Sunlight Power - making full use of solar energy Many projects in the field of energy show
that renewable energies will be able to help us gaining more energy more efficiently. The
huge public interest concerning renewable energies has inspired us to modify a concept of
gaining energy which - to a certain extent - already exists. After having thought about it, we
think we had an interesting idea. The sun gives energy we already use. In our project, we
only produced more green energy more efficiently. Gaining electricity by using solar energy
is a widespread method. Nevertheless, we found some creative modifications regarding this
system which can be helpful for the solar industry:. Our idea is that our collectors are positioned in a 120 degree angle in the middle and lie down on the sides, surrounded by mirrors
(like a paraboloid).

Soil Moisture Sensor for Plant Watering
Lukas Kamm
Thomas Maier
How can you realize a water saving and demand-driven plant watering device? For that you
need a sensor, which precisely detects the soil moisture. Designing such a sensor is the topic
of this paper. We approached this subject with comparing several physical properties of
water, e.g. the conductivity, permittivity, heat capacity and the soil water potential, which
are suitable to detect the soil moisture via an electronic device. For our project we have
developed a sensor device, which measures the soil moisture and provides the measured
values for a plant watering system via a wireless bluetooth 4.0 network. The decisions for
different procedures are based on their respective advantages and disadvantages. In the
end we tested the precision of our sensor and compared the results with theoretical values.
Problems occuring were solved systematically. The result of our work is a sensor, which is
usable in agriculture.

Molecular Bio-control Using Photorhabdus
Our research was aimed at examining the possible applicability of Photorhabdus Luminescens bacterial species, as a new bio-control agent, in growing vegetables, fruit, and macrofungi; a procedure that promises a significant reduction of chemical use to favour environmentally friendly technology in crop cultivation. It is susceptible of proof that the bacterium
under observation did not inhibit the growth of cultivated mushrooms but had a degrading
effect on nematodes, arthropod pests, and green mold. Furthermore, the lethal effects of
Photorhabdus Luminescens bacterial species on pathogenic fungi pests that set back the
growth of vegetables and fruit species were revealed. Photorhabdus Luminescens strains
efficiently inhibit pest species of Alternaria alternata, Botrytis cinerea, Colletotrichum gloeosporioidea, and Rhizoctonia solani, which cause Botrytis cinerea in grapes, seedling-slating,
and plant-rot in 230 plant species. The most productive inhibitors of pathogenic fungi were
two strains of Photorhabdus luminescens subsp. kayaii (NCAIM B 02378, NCAIM B 02379).

Board that is used for writing is a primary requirement in teaching and learning activities.
The powder that is produced from writing activity on the blackboard can cause various diseases. Therefore, we designed magnetic board which consists of plastics, wire rams, iron
fillings, silicone fluids, magnet bar, and solar cells that is more efficient, useful, non-pollutant,
and economical than the others. We use magnetic pen to write on the magnetic board. Magnetic board that we created can be use as a conventional board. However, we have designed
a magnetic board that is still using mono-color system and a working solar cell system takes
time to catch light to erase writings. We suggest to create colored iron fillings and magnetic
pen that can detect iron filings desired color and increase the effectiveness of the solar cells

A Novel fruit/vegetable dryer with integrated moisture
capture design
An improved design is proposed to investigate the efficiency of modified oven to capture
moisture while drying fruits and vegetables which is otherwise lost. In our new technique we
are able to dehydrate the fruits and vegetables as well as collect the vapours .These vapours
contain the nutritive elements which get released with the water content when we heat the
fruits and vegetables in our technique. We have modified an existing oven to make it work
as a dehydrator which will also collect the moisture content from fruits and vegetables. Our
modified oven works on electricity. We have fixed two fans, one at the top for the collection
of humid air and the other fixed at the door for assuring even drying. The heating elements
are controlled by a timer and a temperature controller. The digital timer can be set in hour/
minutes/seconds as per our requirement.

Seyedeh Sheida Rezvani Delouei
In our school although the bin bags with labels on them are provided to collect the solid
waste (without sorting them out), a few students use them in their right way. In other words
solid waste bins are used like normal trash cans. One of the reasons is that students’ environmental consciousness level is not enough; they may not be educated about environmental
issues or they might not be aware of the importance of solid waste recycling. The main goal
of this project is designing and constructing an intelligent trash can that fulfills the following
items: 1) Educating the elementary students about the importance of sorting out the solid
waste at the first place and improving their environmental consciousness and skills. 2) Sorting out the recyclable waste automatically and without human intervention.

Antimicrobial Effect of Penicillin Supported On Copper
Nano Particles
Penicillin is coated on Cu NPs to increase the antibacterial strength of penicillin using decreasing its concentration and side effects on human body then comparison of its antibacterial strength to current antibiotics. Penicillin is a group of antibiotics derived from Penicillium fungi, including penicillin G, penicillin V, procaine penicillin, and benzathine penicillin.
Penicillin antibiotics were among the first drugs to be effective against many previously serious diseases, such as bacterial infections caused by staphylococci and streptococci. All penicillins are β-lactam antibiotics and are used in the treatment of bacterial infections. Several
enhanced penicillin families also exist, effective against additional bacteria.

Non-Integrated LED Bulb

We wanted to design an LED bulb to integrate into existing schemes without affecting the
performance of these schemes with regard to Lux levels and uniformity. There are an estimated 400,000 street lights in Ireland, so we figured between the manufacturing, running,
and maintenance costs, they must be extremely expensive. This brought us onto the subject of LED street lighting. We designed a bulb that is separate from the fixture of a street
light. This LED bulb will fit into all of the standard street lights that are in place today due
to the common ES lamp holder. The LED bulb was designed based on the components of a
standard street light. While the SON-T takes time to warm up, the LED is immediately at full
brightness. It is a universal bulb due to its cap base, so it can be screwed into existing street
lights without having to replace the luminaire of that street light. This will not only cut down
on waste but it is a safe, clean, cheap and environmentally friendly source of light. The LED
bulb is more energy efficient than the SON-T and Metal Halide bulbs in today's street lights.
It has a longer life expectancy and is more durable. This means that the lights will not have
to be checked or replaced as frequently as the street lights that are in use today. Overall,
our bulb is a more energy efficient and cost effective source of light. The amount of LED's
being used in our homes and workplaces are increasing and people are looking for ways to
become more environmentally friendly.
We need to improve the way in which we are lighting our streets. As stated by the Nobel
Committee "...the 21st Century will be lit by LED lamps"

knowledge can give to the acquisition of cultural and methodological tools necessary for
understanding of reality. They have the aim to convey the strategy of the research needed
to put in a critically and consciously way in front of the development of science and technology, today and tomorrow. We have started from a careful reading of the peculiarities of the
territory in order to identify the possibility of a chemical and biotechnological valorization
of waste products of the food chain. We have studied the processes of biomineralization relating to derma-skeletons and spines of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus, edible species
much sought for the nutritional characteristics and taste of its gonads. We are looking for
applications in the eco-sustainable field of already studied biomaterials which conciliated
sustainability needs, biological resources use and biodiversity and environment protection.
After the teacher-student co-planning, checking the state of the art, the development of
a logo and the realization of the first experimental protocol, it has been considered the
advantage of sharing objectives and methodological strategies with researchers of “Italcementi Group” for planning of the second experimental protocol.

The benefits of this project are quite big because we are able to gain ecological energy. The
good thing about this project is that as we know every state has got their own water supplying system and own canalization systems except some states in Africa. The main idea is
to place these kinds of turbines more than once in a pipe because it will create moreenergy.
One of the biggest benefits is that it won’t disturb the water which flows through the pipe
and it doesn’t do any changes in the molecules of water. It’s completely safe and with 0%
chance of infecting the water or anything else.

Anode slime gained during electrolytic refining process
of secondary copper anodes
This slime generated during the electrorefining of copper anodes refining process contains,
among other base metals recoverable quantities of gold, silver and the platinum group metals.The electrolytic refining of metals is highly possible for extraction of precious metal and
PGM from the anode slime. Anode slime from copper electrolysis, though a byproduct of
copper industry, contains many valuable and important metals like nickel, copper, selenium,
tellurium and noble metals, the recovery of which not only makes copper production economical but also gives important metals. For this reason, many laboratory, semi-industrial
and industrial tests have been carried out with anode slime of Cu, which have provided enviable results as regards the process of separating precious metals and those that belong to

and calorific energy of the farm worker, discarding the wind power, not to be sufficiently
high wind velocity. Already having the two types of energy that we could be converted into
electrical energy we set out to create a vehicle where the worker at the time of their work,
which uses heat energy to operate that vehicle, turned it into mechanical energy and in turn,
adapting a solar panel to the vehicle , in a strategic place of this , make sunlight and convert
them into electrical energy , which by means of adapters and accessories, this can be used
and stored by the worker. Similarly, this vehicle will promotes clean energy and a healthier

Drought is one of the critical environmental issues in Moldova. In the most part of the country the average return period of drought varies from 3 to 5 years. For the period spanning
from 2000 to 2012 the Republic of Moldova has already experienced 4 years (2000, 2003,
2007 and 2012) with the devastating droughts. Annualized losses from drought were estimated $20 million per year. Considering the importance of agriculture for state economy
(contributing %65 of total country exports) using water resources efficiently is a vital affair.
Beside using water resources cautiously there are other ways to stand against drought consequences. New methods can be built to create reusable water for agriculture from industrial
waste water and sewage. There are two special plants: water hyacinth and duckweed with
specific, excellent characteristics. Water hyacinth and duckweed can be planted and cultivated readily and cheaply.optimum conditions can be provided in Moldova.

Selection and antibacterial effect of Bacillus sp. based
on quorum sensing system
The purpose of the experiment was to prevent and control bacterial infections by selecting Bacillus spp. based on the quorum sensing system. 33 strains of Bacillus spp. were selected from the sediment of fresh water culture pond. Chromabacterium biolaceum was
used as the report stain, strain D-1 without hemolysis property to inhibit quorum sensing
significantly was selected with “H” streaking and double layer agar plates methods, which
was identified as Bacillus licheniformis based on the 16S rDNA sequences. The protection
effect of B. licheniformis D-1 on zebra fish showed that the survival of zebrafish reached 70%
when challenged with 5.8×107cfu/ML of Aeromonas hydrophlia in 96 h. The study further
analyzed inhibitor effect of extracellular and intracellular protein crude of B. licheniformis
D-1 cells, which indicated that AHLs inactive could occur in the exterior of B. licheniformis
D-1 cells and the AHLs degraded enzyme might be extracellular protein. In a conclusion,
B. licheniformis D-1 to inhibit quorum sensing could be used as the potential antibacterial
agents to protect the host from the bacterial infection.

Unicellular green algae in production of biogas
Anze Lovse
Maja Gerden
The research problem of my project is how to make a simple but efficient model of bioreactor for the production of biogas using very simple unicellular organisms, green algae.
Hypothesis: -mixture of algae will produce more gas than Chlorella sp. - the pressure change
will be bigger in the test tube containing the algae mixture. My research confirmed both
my hypothesis. My simple experiments show that algae are suitable for the production of
biogas. The produced biogas could be used for heating or power production. Methane, as
rich transport fuel, can be distilled out of biogas. That is why algae could present one of the
alternative replacements for fossil fuels. My final goal is to create a closed system that would
use biogas to produce power for a small generator.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) do it yourself (DIY)
The purpose of the project was to investigate if Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) can be applied to informal settlement homes by informal settlement homeowners themselves (DIY) to better their
living conditions in a cost effective way. The TiO2 characteristic – Index of Refraction – meaning
the bending of light as it moves from one medium to another medium with a different optical density – was tested by painting the corrugated iron roof of the “structure” that represent
a one room informal settlement home with different quantities of TiO2 and comparing the
temperature on outside as well as inside of it. The same tests were done on a control informal
settlement house without the application. These results were also compared. The effect of the
TiO2 on the environment was also tested, by hosing down the structures and observing the
effect on the plants near. Finally the cost of the applications were calculated.

as a fertilizer
This project found the researchable problem the identification an economical, sustainable and
environmentally friendly method of managing run-off blood from the slaughtering process
of small abattoirs, in order to limit the extent of environmental pollution. Dehydrating blood
would be the simplest form of processing run-off blood. Blood has such a high nutrient value;
it was possible that it would be effective as a fertilizer. The aim of this research project is to determine if run-off blood from the slaughtering process could be cost effectively to be utilized as
a soil fertilizer, and thus protect the environment from pollution caused by the run-off blood.
The sun drying method allows small abattoir to become empowered in the management of
run-off blood in a cost effective, environmentally friendly and sustainable manner and also
addresses the problem of environmental pollution occurring from the incorrect methods of
dealing with run-off blood from slaughtering process.

Acid mine drainage: An eco-friendly solution
The purpose of the project to investigate the impact of Acid Mine Drainage emanating from
ownerless and defunct coal mines. Examination of the chemistry of AMD suggested that raising the pH of the water would immediately bring about the precipitation of the dissolved ferrous iron and manganese. To achieve this pH reduction slaked lime was used. This would also
at the same time precipitate insoluble calcium sulphate. To examine the feasibility of using
this method to make the AMD more environmentally friendly it was decided to do a series of
bench tests to examine the practical implications. Laboratory work comprising of bench tests
guides the implementation of a Baffle unit to separate and collect the precipitated products
from the clarified water. The objective was to: Increase the pH of Acid Mine Drainage by using
Ca(OH)2 to cause precipitation of calcium sulphate and precipitate iron that is present to ferric

Method to Reduce Motion Sickness from at Watching a
Video in Proximity in an Accelerating System
Watching a small screen in proximity for a long time inside a moving car can cause motion
sickness because there arises an inconsistency between vestibular sense and vision with regards to a car’s swaying, leading to a sensory conflict. . From experimental results, it was
shown that playing in the background a video, which has the same information on motion
as that received by the vestibular sense system, can be a method to synchronize vestibular
and visual senses and avoid a sensory conflict. This synchronization process can prevent procedural memory system’s inappropriate interference and reduce motion sickness that arises
from watching a video in proximity in an accelerating space. The experimental result can be
applied to improve environmental problems caused in the production of transportation systems such as automobiles, trains, and planes by replacing the window with display system
and solve prospective motion sickness problems.

Heavy Metal Toxicity Alleviation Effect of SNP (Sodium
Nitroprusside) on Growth of Plant’s Root and Proliferation of Soil Bacteria
When soil’s heavy metal ions are absorbed through plant roots, plant growth is suppressed
via root surface area reduction, prevention of other ions’ absorption, changes in enzyme
activation, and most importantly suppress plant growth via oxidative stress. Nitrogen monoxide (NO) is known to alleviate oxidative stress of plants, so the aim of this study is to check
if SNP (Sodium Nitroprusside), a substance that can emit NO, has such similar effects. Plants
were exposed to copper, nickel, and cobalt along with SNP to observe their effect on plant
growth and the proliferation of soil bacteria. In conclusion, SNP was confirmed to reduce
oxidative stress due to heavy metal on soil bacteria and plants and to have an optimal concentration. In the cases of1mM copper chloride solution and 1mM nickel chloride solution,
appropriate SNP concentration was found to be 0.1mM.

ZnO Toxicity toward Bacteria: Interplay of ZnO concentration, Zn2+ Solubility and Bacterial Penetrability
Antibacterial activities of common metallic oxide nanoparticle ZnO against selected bacterial strains, both Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains, are quantitatively investigated by
measuring the steady-state population of bacterial colonies at different ZnO nanoparticle
concentration levels. The quantitative trend suggests there may be two effects, one involving ZnO particles and the other Zn2+ ions, with distinct characteristics regarding bacterial
inhibition. While ZnO particles inhibit bacterial growth regardless of the concentration level,
Zn2+ ions can serve as oligoelements at low to moderate concentration level. The bacterial
growth is found to be determined by an interplay between the actions of ZnO nanoparticles
and Zn2+ ions, their solubility in the aqueous biological media, and the penetrability of bacterial cell walls.

My experiment’s goal is to solve the problem of Zeolite’s expensive price (190$ per 500g) in
eco friendly way. Studying advanced research, I found that CaCO3 has an ability to absorb
heavy metal ion, so I set the hypothesis that seashell which is mostly made up with CaCO3
can absorb heavy metal ion too and progressed our experiment to find the best condition
to synergy the ability. More Zeolite it contains more ion was absorbed. the ratio of 5:5 was
found as a most effective ratio and more absorbent we put, lesser ion was absorbed. As I
found out in the experiment, when we replace the most effective absorbent ratio, absorbent
will be more effective and we can save half of the money.

Since PCM transforms between solid–liquid phase in thermal cycling, encapsulation naturally
become the obvious storage choice. Therefore, the encapsulating material, which by itself possesses a poor heat storage capacity, can affect to lower the latent heat storage density of the
whole material. Thus, a higher percentage of the encapsulated PCM is needed in the blend in order to achieve any given heat storage efficiency, and this increased loading level usually affects
the mechanical property of the final composite. In addition to the encapsulation approach, the
addition of polymeric materials into the shell or cross-linking was also used to solve the leakage

Utilization of disposed polymers with bitumen as a
beneficial asphalt binder
Polymerizing bitumen by disposed polyethylene and sulfur improves many properties of
bitumen. Softening point increases and breaking point decreases less as the amount of
polyethylene increases. That provide higher thermal resistance in hot (summer) periods
and reduces the risk of formation of the layers of pavement cracks in the cold (winter)
seasons. Ductility of polyethylene mixed bitumen is directly proportional to the amount of
polyethylene until 6%, when the amount of polyethylene increases, ductility decreases. The
penetration of useful bitumen has to be 42 pen. And our 6% PE-PP mixed bitumen (91/3/6)
showed us 43.5 pen, but before mixing polyethylene it was 47 pen. When polyethylene
added much, it will be useless. Adhesion of 6% polymerized bitumen showed great results.
Also polyethylene mixed asphalts have good characteristics. It becomes more rut resistant,
tough and durable and gains high cracking point.

Vanadium is a metal having different oxidation steps. We have solutions with different color for
each oxidation step. We have intended to design a battery by using this color change feature.
While oxidation is realized by the transformation V+4/V+5 at the anode of the battery, reduction of H2O2 occurs of the cathode. The color of the anode will turn from blue to yellow with
the transformation of V+4 to V+5. In this way, the need of charging will be apparent with the
color change. When the color is completely yellow, the battery will be charged till the color will
be completely blue. As vanadium has no extreme pollutant effect for the environment and few
cancerous effects for human health, the battery to be prepared will be an ecologic battery. At

softwares, AngioTool and ImageJ, were used in order to calculate their fractal dimensions,
lacunarities, circularities, densities, number of junctions, junctions densities, total vessel
length, and vessel area. The mean values were compared for each variable between tumors
and normal tissues. A statistical analysis was done by running a student t-test and results
were found to be statistically significant, which highly supported my goal in this research.
This project also shows how the biological aspect of tumors directly reflect onto the mathematical view with the concept of angiogenesis causing the tumors to have high fractal
dimensions, vessel areas, vessel lengths and low lacunarities. Further research on this topic
can also lead to advanced methods of drug delivery to tumors as well.

The emissions harmful greenhouse gas methane from livestock has a large share of enhancing global warming. Methane is emitted by all livestock, but the cow emits the most
methane. We have the perfect solution for this! Our solution is a filter by which methane is
converted to carbon dioxide, then the carbon dioxide is converted to calcium carbonate.
So we convert methane into harmless substances! This ensures that we counteract global
warming, with the second goal that the economy is not deteriorating.

Methane from manure
Ylse van Kooten
Esmee van Nuss
Janneke Roothart
As subject of our profile project we choose ‘methane from manure’. First we have a little
laugh about this issue, because who is going to work with manure. But when we studied
the subject, we found out that this is an interesting topic. Our teacher told us about the
INESPO (competition) so we have devised to see whether manure fermentation might possibly be applied in third world countries. The question we want to answer is: “Can manure
fermentation may be used in third world countries.” In order answer this question to we ask
the following questions: - How do the animals produce methane? - What is the composition
of manure? - How does methane influence the environment and people’s health? - What is
the difference between livestock in western countries and third world countries? - How can
manure be processed? - How can we reduce the methane from manure?

Today’s ships sail just as fast as a fast cyclist. They also emit many pollutants out through
cooling systems and drives. The drive itself is not entirely harmless. In 2009, only the Dutch
coast for 90 porpoises washed ashore that were hit by propellers. We think we have found
a solution to some of these problems. We examined whether we could make the ship rely
on a tuna, because we believe that everything in nature is super efficient. We want to make
the ship sail faster by improving the form. This can be done easily by the vessel, seen from
above in the form of a teardrop shape. Beacause of this, the durability of a ship can be increased 11.6 times. However, the drive can also be improved. We want to make a drive that
is based on the tail tuna. According to Professor v/d Geld this can be very effective. We are
currently conducting further research.

Australis Clean

With Australis Clean we want to clean the water of the showers at the St. Michaël College. In
this world we use large amounts of fresh water. This is going to be a problem in the future.
On planet Earth just 2% of all the water is fresh water. This is going to decrease more and
more if the global population is growing. That’s why it is important that we are going to
solve this problem with new ideas.
The name Australis Clean is derived from Phragmites australis, which is a type of reed that
is ideal for constructed wetlands. This is the most important thing in Australis Clean. The
principle is based on the detailed rhizomes system, which provides enough oxygen for the
water. This is beneficial for the bacteria that clean the water. The purified water is useful for
many different purposes in school or even at home. Our goal is to develop this project in
a very detailed way, so that we can realize it at the St. Michaël College. Test have shown us
that the water in purification tank 1 isn’t purified enough to take a shower with. The quality
of the water will improve after the purification pound and purification tank 2, but it won’t
improve enough to shower safely with it. When the bacteria, after half a year, will be working, the water will be purified enough. In the first half year the water can be re-used in our
school and would be recycled in a durable way. We can use the water to flush the toilets. At
home this technique can be used on a smaller scale, for example you can connect it to the
washing machine.

The E-Shoes

We looked for things that don’t exist because we wanted a new idea that had to be functional and had to attract people to buy it. First we looked how we could generate power
and how we could improve it, or design a new kind of it. And so we came up with this idea,
we wanted to design a new way of generating power because for example the battery of
your mobile phone will be empty in a short time. After a lot of thinking we invented The
E-Shoe; The shoe that can generate power when you take steps. This kind of energy will be
transformed in to electricity, and will be stored in a portable battery which will be stored in
the back of your shoes. We have invented a new way of creating energy without harming
the environment: more than going for a walk is not necessary. We want to create useful
electricity to load the battery of your phone or gps when it is empty. In the E-Shoe there will
be multiple piezo crystals which will move and stretch which makes them generate energy.
In a piezo Crystal there are positive and negative parts. If you press on the piezo Crystal the
positive and negative parts relative to each other will move and this will generate electricity . This movement is repeated as the piezo Crystal is stretched. The electricity we can get
from here goes to a (portable) battery at the back of the shoe. You can use a standard USB

Moss Filter

Our filter filters the air which is going into your house. It’s not a normal filter, but a filter
making use of moss. You hang the filter for example at the side of your house, or place it at
the roof of the garage. A research (in Germany) showed us that 1m2 moss can filter about
20 grams fine particles per year. In our case, the filter filters about 29 grams of fine particles
per year. Moss only filters when it is kept wet, so we have to drainage the moss, and keep it
wet. It is a high priority to make use of our filter, so the air quality reforms.

QTC discothek

Modern materials. It is a flexible polymer that has extraordinary electric characteristics. In
its normal shape, it is a perfect insulator, but when it is compressed, it becomes more or less
a perfect electrical conductor. It is this specific characteristic that we are intending to make
use on our dance floor: as more people will be enjoying the music on the dance floor, the
pressure at the bottom will get higher which will decrease the resistance of the QTC that is
being stored in an electrical circuit under the dance floor. This will result into an increase of
the electric current in the electrical.

An improved solar power plant is developed. Mirrors are used to focus radiation on a water
tank. The water will evaporate and turn a turbine. The evaporated water will condensate in
a tank. When the tank is full, the water will fall down via a tube and turn the turbine again.
The whole system is a close loop. To investigate this idea calculations are done to calculate
the heat necessary to heat the water. In order to get enough incoming radiation, the ISPP
has to be build near the equator. An animation of the process is made and can be seen here:

Technology to build this prototype.
INESPO is the International Environment & Sustainability Project Olympiade. It is first organized in 2009. Students from all over the world in the age of 13 till 18 can participate in
INESPO. By organizing INESPO the Cosmicus Foundation wants to point at the worldwide
environmental problems and create awareness of these issues.
It is the largest olympiad event in the European Continent which works interdisciplinary,
in teamwork and on project base.
The Cosmicus Foundation is the initiator of INESPO. It is an intercultural organization
which organizes educational, cultural, social and scientific activities. There are two secondary schools and four primary schools. Besides that the Cosmicus Foundation publishes an
opinion magazine four times a year and it is also involved in diversity projects and organizing networking and cultural trips. More info at www.cosmicus.nl.

At this moment there are two kind of organizations with whom we have a mutual agreement. The first type is Affiliated Full Partners in different continents. Dutch projects who are the winners of the National INESPO Olympiad are send to their events. These organizations are
sending their winning projects to our international contest. They have also the authority to qualify projects from other countries.
Intel ISEF, the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF), is a program
of Society for Science & the Public, the world’s largest international pre-college science
competition, is coming to Phoenix.
The premier global science competition for students in grades 9–12 provides an annual
forum for more than 1,500 high school students from 70 countries, regions, and territories to display their independent research.
I-SWEEEP, the International Sustainable World (Energy, Enginee-ring, and Environment)
Project Olympiad is a science fair open to middle and high school students organized
by the Cosmos Foundation. ISWEEP takes place at Houston USA and works with local,
national, and international science fair organizations to bring together the top-ranking
participants and qualifying projects from these competitions.
MOSTRATEC, the International Science and Technology Exhibition is organized and
hosted by Fundação Escola Técnica Liberato Salzano Vieira da Cunha in Brazil, in collaboration with public and private institutions. Since 1994, MOSTRATEC has been held in
International character, becoming one of the most important educational events in the
country. The fair is destined to the exhibition of science and technology related research
projects in the different areas of human knowledge, developed by high school or technical/professionalizing education students from Brazil and other countries.
MILSET Europe is a European non-governmental, non-profit and politically independent
youth organisation, created from member organisations of MILSET (International Movement for Leisure Activities in Science & Technology) holding their seat in Europe. These
organisations work in the field of education, focusing on the organisation of scienceand-technology activities for young people.
The science fair aims at promoting scientific projects created by children and young
people around the world through an exhibition in a multi-cultural environment, also
allowing the participation of institutions which want to assist young people in their projects.
