We are very happy and excited to have you here. Many of you have traveled far and wide for this amazing experience, and we hope you enjoy your time at this enriching experience. We encourage you to make new friends, ask questions during the exciting sessions, and embrace the spirit of our theme to “THINK BEYOND” in the following three ways: BEYOND YOURSELF: When you consider the Intel ISEF finalists, judges, panelists, and Nobel Laureates, there is no greater collection of brainpower in one place than Intel ISEF! Please take advantage of this chance to listen and learn beyond your current focus areas. Let’s not forget, innovation doesn’t happen in a vacuum. BEYOND DOUBT: Our world faces many challenges, and it’s important to remember that the status quo defines only what hasn’t been discovered yet. The ideas that the Intel ISEF community will bring into existence through hard work and collaboration will fundamentally change the world in ways that are impossible to imagine today. Think deeply about what impact your work can have on the planet, or just a single person. Believe in yourself —always! BEYOND BARRIERS: You will meet people from many countries and cultures during this action-packed week. Take this opportunity to look beyond your differences of language Welcome from Intel from Welcome or appearance and find what brings you together. Whether you’re a fair director from Peru, or a finalist from Guatemala, you can build relationships and foster community that will enrich your perspective. Also, I want to express my gratitude to you for helping to create this memorable experience, and to the many dedicated families, supporters, and volunteers who make the event possible. This year marks the 50th Anniversary of Intel and the 30th Anniversary of the Intel Foundation, and during this anniversary year, we encourage you to “Do Wonderful” in the world. As you continue your journey to build a better world, remember the great words of Intel’s co-founder, Robert Noyce, “Don’t be encumbered by history. Go off and do something wonderful.” Welcome to 2018 Intel ISEF, Rosalind Hudnell President, Intel Foundation Vice President, Corporate Affairs Group, Intel Corporation 2 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair 2018 Society for Science & the Public Maya Ajmera President & CEO Publisher, Science News Welcome from the Society from & the Public for Science Welcome Welcome to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair 2018! Congratulations on being selected to compete at Intel ISEF! Tens of millions of students compete in science fairs every year around the globe, with only about 1,750 students invited to join us as a finalist. You are truly among an elite group. While you are here, I encourage you to take advantage of everything that Intel ISEF has to offer, including connecting with your fellow finalists. Many Intel ISEF alumni stay in touch with one another, developing not only lifelong friendships, but also collaborating professionally later in life. I also look forward to meeting you – the top young innovators from around the world – to hear more about your ideas and research. When I was a high school student, I too participated in science fairs – I understand the hard work and sweat equity that has gone into each and every project on display here this week. I think it’s extraordinarily exciting to think about the fact that the projects being judged here this week seek to take on and solve some of our world’s greatest challenges. You are tomorrow’s problem solvers, the stewards of our future. And, of course, nearly $5 million in awards is up for grabs! Please enjoy this week and celebrate your accomplishments. I also encourage you to thank the people who helped you get here – your teachers, parents and mentors who supported you through the years. It takes a true community to develop talent like yours! The Society for Science & the Public would like to thank Intel for their sponsorship, the many additional organizations that have provided support and awards, the volunteers from Pittsburgh and throughout the country who make this event possible, as well as the people who work so diligently to organize science fairs around the world. I hope all of you have a wonderful time at Intel ISEF 2018!

Davis President and CEO May 2018 Dear Friends, It is my great pleasure to welcome the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair to the city of Pittsburgh! We are thrilled to host this meeting and competition for high school students from all over the world. As President and CEO of VisitPITTSBURGH, I can say with confidence that this gathering of brilliant young minds aligns perfectly with our organization’s mission. Pittsburgh has become a red hot city for innovation in medicine, engineering, technology and more–and we are always looking to inspire new talent. Pittsburgh was named one of four tech hubs to watch in 2018 by VentureBeat, which cited not only our large corporations, but also our steadily growing startups. We hope to be on the radar of young adults who will surely one day be leading companies of their own. Here in Pittsburgh, our fondness for the new and innovative is matched by our appreciation of what got us here. Our foundation is built on many different cultures, traditions and industries, brought together by our shared appreciation of this city that is so full of life and potential. Like the students converging for the Intel ISEF, we in Pittsburgh thrive on collaboration and the coming together of bright minds from all types of backgrounds to achieve something truly great. During your time here in Pittsburgh, I am sure you will bear witness to unique attractions both old and new. Pittsburgh’s culinary scene is bursting

  • Railway Employee Records for Colorado Volume Iii
    RAILWAY EMPLOYEE RECORDS FOR COLORADO VOLUME III By Gerald E. Sherard (2005) When Denver’s Union Station opened in 1881, it saw 88 trains a day during its gold-rush peak. When passenger trains were a popular way to travel, Union Station regularly saw sixty to eighty daily arrivals and departures and as many as a million passengers a year. Many freight trains also passed through the area. In the early 1900s, there were 2.25 million railroad workers in America. After World War II the popularity and frequency of train travel began to wane. The first railroad line to be completed in Colorado was in 1871 and was the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad line between Denver and Colorado Springs. A question we often hear is: “My father used to work for the railroad. How can I get information on Him?” Most railroad historical societies have no records on employees. Most employment records are owned today by the surviving railroad companies and the Railroad Retirement Board. For example, most such records for the Union Pacific Railroad are in storage in Hutchinson, Kansas salt mines, off limits to all but the lawyers. The Union Pacific currently declines to help with former employee genealogy requests. However, if you are looking for railroad employee records for early Colorado railroads, you may have some success. The Colorado Railroad Museum Library currently has 11,368 employee personnel records. These Colorado employee records are primarily for the following railroads which are not longer operating. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad (AT&SF) Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad employee records of employment are recorded in a bound ledger book (record number 736) and box numbers 766 and 1287 for the years 1883 through 1939 for the joint line from Denver to Pueblo.

  • What Are Soybeans?
    candy, cakes, cheeses, peanut butter, animal feeds, candles, paint, body lotions, biodiesel, furniture soybeans USES: What are soybeans? Soybeans are small round seeds, each with a tiny hilum (small brown spot). They are made up of three basic parts. Each soybean has a seed coat (outside cover that protects the seed), VOCABULARY cotyledon (the first leaf or pair of leaves within the embryo that stores food), and the embryo (part of a seed that develops into Cultivar: a variety of plant that has been created or a new plant, including the stem, leaves and roots). Soybeans, selected intentionally and maintained through cultivation. like most legumes, perform nitrogen fixation. Modern soybean Embryo: part of a seed that develops into a new plant, cultivars generally reach a height of around 1 m (3.3 ft), and including the stem, leaves and roots. take 80–120 days from sowing to harvesting. Exports: products or items that the U.S. sells and sends to other countries. Exports include raw products like whole soybeans or processed products like soybean oil or Leaflets soybean meal. Fertilizer: any substance used to fertilize the soil, especially a commercial or chemical manure. Hilum: the scar on a seed marking the point of attachment to its seed vessel (the brown spot). Leaflets: sub-part of leaf blade. All but the first node of soybean plants produce leaves with three leaflets. Legume: plants that perform nitrogen fixation and whose fruit is a seed pod. Beans, peas, clover and alfalfa are all legumes. Nitrogen Fixation: the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen Leaf into a nitrogen compound by certain bacteria, such as Stem rhizobium in the root nodules of legumes.

Abstract Impact cratering is an abrupt, spectacular process that occurs on any world with a solid surface. On Earth, these craters are easily eroded or destroyed through endogenic processes. The Moon and Mercury, however, lack a significant atmosphere, meaning craters on these worlds remain intact longer, geologically. In this thesis, remote-sensing techniques were used to investigate impact melt emplacement about Mercury’s fresh, complex craters. For complex lunar craters, impact melt is preferentially ejected from the lowest rim elevation, implying topographic control. On Venus, impact melt is preferentially ejected downrange from the impact site, implying impactor-direction control. Mercury, despite its heavily-cratered surface, trends more like Venus than like the Moon.
