The increased sensitivity of aquatic organisms to the effects of EMF has been proven by numerous experimental studies. It has been repeatedly noted that exposure to EMF of certain frequencies and intensities leads to disruption of physiological functions, orientation in time and space, changes in the behavior of organisms, suppression of motor activity. Other ranges of electromagnetic radiation, on the contrary, can cause the effects of increased regeneration, growth rate and survival. In connection with these trends, the purpose of our research is to analyze the effects of the influence of electromagnetic radiation of extremely high frequency on the development of the Xenopus laevis and the regeneration of newts and planarians

Low-field (LF) MRI scanners have the power to revolutionize medical imaging by provid- 27 ing a portable and cheaper alternative to high-field MRI scanners. However, such scanners are usu- 28 ally significantly noisier and lower quality than their high-field counterparts. This prevents them 29 from appealing to global markets. The aim of this paper is to improve the SNR and overall image quality of low-field MRI scans (called super-resolution) to improve diagnostic capability and, as a result, make it more accessible. To address this issue, we propose a Nested U-Net neural network architecture super-resolution algorithm that outperforms previously suggested super-resolution deep learning methods with an average PSNR of 78.83 ± 0.01 and SSIM of 0.9551 ± 0.01. Our ANOVA paired t-test and Post-Hoc Tukey test demonstrate significance with a p-value < 0.0001 and no other network demonstrating significance higher than 0.1. We tested our network on artificial noisy downsampled synthetic data from 1500 T1 weighted MRI images through the dataset called the T1- mix. Four board-certified radiologists scored 25 images (100 image ratings total) on the Likert scale (1-5) assessing overall image quality, anatomical structure, and diagnostic confidence across our architecture and other published works (SR DenseNet, Generator Block, SRCNN, etc.). Our algo- rithm outperformed all other works with the highest MOS, 4.4 ± 0.3. We also introduce a new type of loss function called natural log mean squared error (NLMSE), outperforming MSE, MAE, and MSLE on this specific SR task. Additionally, we ran inference on actual Hyperfine scan images with successful qualitative results using a Generator RRDB block. In conclusion, we present a more ac- curate deep learning method for single image super-resolution applied to low-field MRI via a 45 Nested U-Net architecture.

腦部腫瘤是沉默殺手， 藏匿在腦中數十年。 一旦發作，通常都會造成巨大的影響。雖有數種高階儀器，可以檢測。但檢測過程繁複、 等待時間以及價格， 對於民眾都是不小的負擔。 腦部腫瘤的診斷方式為： 神經內、 外醫生會用筆燈對患者做初步的瞳孔光反應檢查。 藉由患者瞳孔縮小的速率，判斷是否要安排進階的檢查。但此行為仰賴醫生的經驗，沒有統一的方法及數據可供判斷。 本研究設計一款成本約$1,300 元， 重量僅 159 g，圓柱直徑與柱高皆約為 7cm 的隨身裝置。 藉由 MCU 控制攝影機， 頂部 1.44 吋 TFT 螢幕可即時顯示患者眼部狀態，檢查結果計算後， 也會立即顯示在螢幕上。除提供醫護人員即時數據化的解讀患者狀態。更協助醫護人員在做瞳孔光刺激檢查時，有科學化的標準。

橄欖油含有葉綠素a，葉綠素b，和胡蘿蔔素等高熱吸收率的物質；高斯光束照射橄欖油時，橄欖油吸收的熱量，使橄欖油產生溫度梯度和折射率梯度，並產生熱透鏡(Thermal lens)和自調相(Self-phase modulation)現象。 以雷射光照射盛橄欖油水平置放的方型盒時，中央軸的照度最大，橄欖油的溫度最高，折射率和密度最小。由於對流作用的影響，使得光束照射到的橄欖油的上半部折射率梯度小於下半部；光束通過橄欖油後，在屏幕上出現的繞射圖樣呈現上半部的亮帶半徑小於下半部。 將橄欖油改置圓柱筒中，雷射光由上向下照射，可以消除熱對流現象。用不同功率的雷射，照射不同液柱高度，和不同熱吸收率的橄欖油；探討功率、液柱高度、和熱吸收率對:繞射亮帶最大半徑、繞射亮帶半徑隨時間的變化、和亮帶數目的影響。

本研究是關於 nim 遊戲的兩種推廣（其中一種是一個稱為 the game of squayles 的遊戲的推廣），稱為 edge-removing game 和 star-removing game。此遊戲為兩人遊戲。在遊戲的一開始，有一個簡單圖 G。兩個玩家輪流刪除該圖的非空路徑或非空星子圖的邊。首先不能移動的一方輸掉遊戲。 在 edge-removing game 中，我成功計算出某些特殊圖的 Grundy numbers，並給出了一般 k 星的 Grundy numbers 上界。接著我定義了一種新的圖，稱為 nice graphs，並發現所有 nice graphs 都是 N-position。我由此給出了任意兩個非空圖的 join product 的解。至於圖的 Cartesian product，我給出了兩個滿足一定條件的非空圖的 Cartesian product 的解，並發現一個 fully nice graph 和任何至少有 2 個頂點的連通圖的 Cartesian product 也是 fully nice 的。使用這個性質，我給出了 r-dimensional grids 上的 edge-removing game 的解。 至於 star-removing game，我最大的突破是構思出對稱性這個概念。使用這個概念，我給出更一般化的結論，可以用來有效分析某些圖的 Cartesian product 上的的 star-removing game。使用這些結果，我給出了 r-dimensional grids 的解。

CanSat (a can-size satellite) flight data revealed the occurrence of high spin angular velocities along the vertical axis of a CanSat during a parachute descent phase. A novel aerodynamic stabilization system of deployable fins was designed to decrease angular velocity. Deployable fins were attached to servomotors (rotary actuators) to provide control authority during the CanSat descent phase. Deployable fins positions were calculated based on an onboard gyroscope data using a PID (proportional-integral-derivative controller) regulator and a moving-average filter. After the assembly and the initial testing, the system was flight-proven by dropping it from a drone with and without enabling the stabilization system

The surgical mask has been our daily companion since the outbreak of the Corona pandemic. The nonwovens (outer layers, not the filter membrane) from which the surgical mask is constructed consist of very long and thin polypropylene fibers. This leads to the question of whether microplastics are released during breathing through the surgical mask, which could enter the respiratory tract or the lungs. This would have a negative impact on our health, depending on the size of the detached fiber fragments - the smaller the worse because they can enter much deeper in our respiratory tract. In order to investigate the question of whether fiber fragments are released during breathing through a surgical mask, a filtration device was built. The filters were examined under an optical microscope after filtration. If fiber fragments would detach from the surgical mask, they would be found on the filter. Different surgical masks were tested, those that were not worn at all to surgical masks that were worn all day. It was found that fiber fragments were coming off the surgical masks. There were different fiber fragment types. Some fiber fragments were still undamaged (exhibited nice fractures), while others were frayed. Clump-like fragments occurred, but also smaller fine fiber fragments. All these different fiber fragments had a certain size, so that they could be called microplastics. The remarkable result of the whole study is that there is a direct correlation between the wearing time of the surgical mask and the number of detaching fiber fragments. In the case of the unworn surgical masks, 10 times fewer fiber fragments occurred during filtration than in the case of the surgical masks that were worn all day.

I first found out about the Young Scientist competition last year, in 2021. I thought it was an interesting and challenging opportunity; something that could take students out of their comfort zone. I researched for some inspiration online and found a website with all the different types of project ideas. While reading about the experiments, I stumbled upon a project relating the music to bacterial growth. It sounded ridiculous at first, but I soon realized it was the right project for me. It intertwined music and biology- form of art I’ve been involved in since the age of 9, and one of my favorite subjects and a field I want to work in in the future.

The emergence of antibacterial resistance has necessitated the development of alternative treatments, such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). AMPs are part of the innate immune systems of various organisms such as Momordica charantia L., a known medicinal plant in Southeast Asia. In this study, potential novel AMPs from M. charantia were derived in silico to provide prospective antibiotic alternatives using promising plant-based peptides. M. charantia protein sequences that were 500 amino acids long were digested using proteolytic enzymes, resulting in 3,621 peptides. Each resulting sequence was characterized as either AMP or Non-AMP using four statistical analysis tools, and those identified as AMPs were analyzed. This led to 102 AMPs, 53 of which were unregistered on the Data Repository for Antimicrobial Peptides, indicating that they have yet to be derived from other species. Six of the eight studied physicochemical properties show strong correlations with each other, suggesting that subsequent AMP design studies may focus on these six properties. As such, M. charantia may be a rich source of potential AMPs and, thereby, alternative antibiotics. The in vitro examination of these novel AMPs is also recommended to further understand their potential as alternative antibiotics sourced from locally available plants.

We elucidated the cause of the phenomenon, in which silver deposits on a bamboo charcoal when the bamboo charcoal is soaked in an AgNO3 water solution. From the experimental results, we considered that the hydrogen which is generated while the bamboo wood is carbonized is chemisorbed as C-H bonds on the surface edge of charcoal (the end of the carbon), and that these hydrogen atoms become hydrogen ions,which then reduce the silver ions and deposit silver. In addition, we created a graph of the mass of deposited silver versus the mass of charcoal, and the graph showed that the mass of deposited silver was strongly correlated with the surface area calculated from the mass of the charcoal. Besides, we showed that charcoal can be used in applications for the treatment of inorganic liquid waste, depositing metals from inorganic liquid waste by bamboo charcoals. Also, the charcoal is used for interior decoration because of its deodorizing effect and beauty. In our study, we create a work of art used silverdeposited charcoal with a motif of Karesansui (Traditional Japanese rock garden).

「少數決遊戲」就是針對N個玩家詢問一些只能回答是或否的問題，而問題回答不必符合實際狀況，由少數一方獲勝，這個部分的定義與少數派賽局（Minority Game）中的定義相同，不同處為獲勝者須進入下一輪的問題，直到剩下一位或兩位玩家為止，由剩下玩家獲得最後的N單位獎金，但所有人需償還原來遊戲開始時所付出1單位的代價。前作「詐欺遊戲之少數決」[1]即對該問題作詳細的探索，但僅限於一組結盟人數。本作品是將前作內的獲利期望值與演算法作進一步的發展討論，並對結盟人數超過必勝結盟人數時的期望值變化做討論，得到賽局理論中的「少數派博弈」類似的結論。本作品更進一步討論兩組結盟人數的結果與期望值，後續的變化有些類似賽局理論。

Given the high sensitivity of electronic instruments, electromagnetic field intensity measuring is now becoming an essential part of the industry. Current electric field intensity meters are unfit for individual use and focus mainly on electromagnetic radiation rather than the field itself. In ionic propulsion, the propulsion force is proportional to electric field intensity but the use of this property on measurement remains largely unexplored. Here, our team investigates ionic propulsion in electric fields generated by electro-static methods and then systematically varies the point of measurement inside the field, thereby altering the intensity of the field without focusing on electromagnetic radiation. By combining the Van de graaff generator with an adjustable ionic thrust propeller, we find that the propeller speed which is proportional to the electric field is directly determined by the electric field intensity. Furthermore, we applied stroboscopy to the system to measure RPM, and have achieved the direct interaction between field intensity and RPM, which could be a new meter for field intensity measurement.
