An Analysis of three Methodologies for invertebrate surveys

Jonah Angelidis-Nordlund, Year 3. Abstract Rivers are productive ecosystems, yet few surveys have been done on the Fraser River’s invertebrate community in particular. Fewer surveys still have been done on determining the best method given varying practical constraints of the study in question, as well as the variable nature of the data required. Consequently, a […]

The Effect of Potential Future Ocean Acidification Beyond the Year 2100 as Demonstrated in Clam Shells

Felix Zhou, Year 2 Research Abstract Ocean acidification is an increasing problem for the world’s aquatic ecosystems as carbon dioxide emissions increase, particularly affecting calcifying organisms such as shellfish. Since such organisms are vital to the health of our ecosystems, it is highly important to understand exactly how shellfish would be affected in the future […]

Non-Slip Masks: Encouraging Safe Practices in a Pandemic

Simran Raina, Year 2 Engineering. Abstract With the COVID-19 pandemic still raging on in many parts of the world, the need for safe masks is relevant. Many masks, however, tend to slide down the nose or need to be adjusted periodically, forcing the wearer to adjust it. In this project, a non-slip, cloth mask was […]

Unplugging the drain: Can a time delay circuit sequence be used to prevent street floods?

Kai Cho, Year 2 Engineering. Abstract Despite being a hidden and smaller mechanism, catch basins (street/stormdrains) play a crucial role in preventing urban floods. Catch basins are found in convenient positions to drain streams of water from civilian streets. While there have been small efforts to prevent clogging such as pedestrian monitoring and filter barriers, […]

Alternative Desalination using Copper, Iron, Zinc, and Aluminum Electrodes in the Electrocoagulation Process

Jerry Jiang and Wayne Bao. Year 2 Research. Abstract As water security concerns grow, more research must be conducted on energy-efficient ocean desalination techniques. One such contender is the electrocoagulation process, which has already demonstrated a high level of effectiveness in removing pollutants such as heavy metals. Our research involves exploring the effectiveness of an […]

The Relationship Between PER3 Gene Polymorphism and State Trait-Anxiety Scores

Sophie Gabreldar, Year 2 Research Abstract Circadian rhythms are an important yet overlooked contributor to anxiety disorders. Disruptions to circadian rhythms can have negative effects such as poor sleep quality and cardiovascular issues. Period 3 (PER3) gene mutations alter circadian period length. This altered circadian period may increase anxiety levels in individuals that have PER3 variants associated […]

Bioplastic Production from Longan (Dimocarpus longan) Starch With Glycerol and Zinc Oxide

Angela Hu, Year 2 Research. Abstract The production and disposal of petroleum based plastics poses an abundance of threats to our environment, animals, and human health. Additionally, the consumption of longan (Dimocarpus longan) fruits results in an abundance of longan pits as waste. By extracting its starch to create a biodegradable bioplastic, both of these […]

The Efficacy of Different Brands and Types of Soaps at Removing Glo Germ Lotion

Angela Qian, Year 2 Research. Abstract During the COVID-19 pandemic, hand washing has become ever more important. With so many options for potential hand soaps, it is logical to question which soap, if any, is most effective at achieving its goal of cleaning the surfaces of hands. This study tested two soaps from threepopular brands, […]

Battling Oxidative Stress: How Nano-Antioxidants Facilitate the Regeneration of Planaria

Catherine Diyakonov, Year 2 Research Abstract Oxidative stress has a significant impact on the development of neurodegenerative diseases, many of which do not have a cure. Nano-antioxidants are emerging nanomaterials that may slow or prevent the development of these diseases by trapping free radicals. In this study, planaria were exposed to oxidative stress by undergoing […]

Effects of Soil pH Paired with Chafer Beetle Treatment on Grass Growth

Yeira Wong, Year 2 Research. Abstract The Chafer Beetle is a common infestation found in lawns throughout North America and Europe. They damage grass roots, and lead to lawn damage when skunks and birds uproot the earth in search of these grubs. Treatments available include adding nematodes Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and/or planting White Dutch Clover. This […]
