The study investigated the effect of improved hand hygiene compliance on the transmission of Staphylococcus aureus between patients in a 32-bed oncology unit. Over several intervention periods, hand hygiene compliance increased from 49.8% to 51% through measures like increasing alcohol dispensers, education, new dispensers, and individual feedback. This 41% reduction in hand hygiene compliance was associated with a reduction in the transmission index of S. aureus from 1.1 to 0.6, indicating fewer secondary cases. The results show that improved hand hygiene through automated dispensers can reduce nosocomial transmission of S. aureus in the hospital.

The student conducted an experiment to test the effect of cell phone radiation on yeast metabolism. Yeast and sugar mixtures were placed in test tubes near a cell phone, 30cm away, 1m away, and in another room as a control. The cell phone was used to make calls for 30 minutes by each test tube. Balloon diameters measured the yeast's CO2 output, indicating metabolism. Results showed yeast closest to the phone grew most, while the control grew second most, supporting the hypothesis that closer proximity increases yeast growth due to cell phone radiation. The student learned about cell phone operation and their classification as a potential carcinogen, while gaining experience with the scientific method.
Biomes of the world
The document contains links to webpages about different biomes and habitats around the world. It includes links about tundra, taiga/boreal forests, temperate coniferous forests, tropical rainforests, temperate rainforests, temperate grasslands, savannas, shrublands, deserts, rocky shores, coral reefs, hydrothermal vents, estuaries, lakes, rivers, freshwater wetlands, and marshes/swamps. The links provide information on the location, climate, plants, and animals commonly found in each habitat type.
Biology class (1)
The 10th grade accelerated biology class covered topics like ecology, populations, biochemistry, and cell biology. Major projects included creating a biome book, completing a dialysis lab and ecology plot lab, and an individual science fair project. The class also learned about tropical rainforests, which receive 200-400cm of rain per year and have temperatures between 20-34 degrees Celsius. Tropical rainforests support many species of trees, plants, birds, monkeys, snakes and other animals. The student received an A in the class and aims to improve their skills in research, problem-solving, collaboration, and communicating scientific information.
Can mushrooms eat oil (2)
This document discusses an experiment to test the ability of oyster mushroom mycelium to break down and consume diesel fuel in soil. The student hypothesizes that oyster mushrooms will be able to grow and consume diesel even without soil present. To test this, the student will grow mushrooms in mixtures containing 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, and 100% diesel by volume, and measure the percentage of oil remaining over time. The results of the experiment will be analyzed and presented at a local science fair, with the possibility of advancing to an international competition. The project aims to determine the maximum oil concentration mushrooms can consume and applies the scientific method to address environmental remediation.
