To inform the applicability of carbon nanotube networks for use as field-effect transistors or as biosensors, we have run computer simulations in order to characterize the electrical properties of these networks, and specifically, how the resistance of these networks changes with the metallicity, or the percentage of metallic to semiconducting carbon nanotubes. When running simulations over networks with varying metallicities, we find a trend where the resistance increases to a peak value then decreases.

The original 10 minute play was inspired by historical research on the early decades of the Soviet Union. Specifically the "Great Terror" of the 1930s. The play tells experience of real people but portrayed as a a nature documentary.

This report summarizes the experience working with Humboldt County Office of Education at the Eureka Community School. The goal of this project is to enhance visibility of the education system at court schools and improve upon each individual’s learning experience. This was accomplished through in-depth interviews with staff faculty at the Eureka Community School alongside 30+ volunteer hours as an aid in the classroom.

During the International Mathematical Contest in Modeling, our team tackled the problem of the destructive accumulation of plastic in the earth's land and waterways. We researched national and international policies attempting to curb the production and consumption of plastic, and constructed a simple model to predict plastic mass growth in the future, under various parameters and scenarios.

Humboldt County currently has an interpretation program to assist clients with Limited English Proficiency needs who seek local mental health services. This working alliance of the mental health provider, the mental health interpreter, and the client currently has no systematic support for mental health interpreters to reduce and cope with secondary trauma. The purpose of this project is to provide a resource guide on best clinical practices regarding this working alliance, the implementation of an Interpreter Coordinator for the county, and systemic structural recommendations in order to reduce secondary trauma among mental health interpreters.

The basis of this research consists of the use of graphene and supercapacitor energy storage as a more energy efficient and environmentally conscious alternative to traditional lithium ion batteries. This will also cover the government policies that could potentially fund the research, development, and integration of graphene based supercapacitors in the energy market. This energy market currently includes standard fossil fuel based energy as well as renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. Although renewable energy options have grown in popularity and commercial availability, the main issue with these sources is storage, and graphene based batteries could remedy this problem.

In our presentation, we will be discussing how climate change is affecting the Salmon run in the Klamath River. We will be addressing the how warmer water temperatures can affect the Salmon population. Our purpose is to inform others that a change in water temperatures may affect oxygen levels in the watershed hence making it difficult for salmon to migrate and survive in the watershed. Overall this may affect their process of spawning.

In a sociopolitical climate where hate is so clearly permeating through our country, it is important to recognize battles that have conquered evils of the past in the form of reparations. My research looks at the reconciliation process that has occurred on Indian Island and how the 1862 massacre contextualizes the events taking place today. Through a difficult history and unique form of restitution, Indian Island provides insight into current Native Politics unparalleled anywhere else in the United States.

Research is presented on the comparison of endoparasite abundance and diversity between two herds of Roosevelt Elk; Sinkyone and Gold Bluff Beach. These groups were once part of the same herd and 17 individuals were translocated in 1984 and now are suffering from poor health. Research hypothesis is that the sick herd (Sinkyone) will have a higher diversity or abundance of endoparasite eggs that I have identified from fecal samples. Through this research, we hope to identify the health issue within the sick population and help treat the issue.

This poster was created for the Humboldt International Film Festival. Working as a team, the HIFF crew were able to come up with an idea, and then follow through with creating and perfecting the poster. It's designed to catch the eye, draw the audience in, and deliver the information in a pseudo-minimalistic way. Its primary focuses were to be readability, text hierarchy backed by an eye-catching illustration.
