33 scientific and research projects at the eleventh Science Conference for students of the National Center for Excellence

Lattakia-Sana

With the participation of 198 male and female students who collaborated in presenting 33 scientific research projects in the basic scientific disciplines, the eleventh scientific research conference held by the Center was launched today as the important scientific station within the strategy of the Excellence and Creativity Authority in building generations distinguished by specialized sciences and creative in innovation.

The conference spans over two days and focuses on the sciences “mathematics, physics, chemistry, informatics and biology,” according to Dr. Muthanna Al-Qabili, the director of the center, who indicated in a statement to Sana’s correspondent that the conference aims to teach students the basics of scientific research and work within a team that constitutes a mixture of the three classroom students at the center, pointing to Some projects carry a mix between more than one science within a group work in order to reach an integrated project that invests the passion of every student for the specialty he loves, benefiting from the skills of the rest of his colleagues in other specializations.

And Al-Qubaili indicated that the conference also aims to develop time management skills and the way the project is presented before the competent arbitration committee by team members for each project within 15 minutes, pointing out that the conference includes some huge scientific projects that take two years to complete.

Al-Qubaili stressed that, despite the quarantine period that was taken as part of the procedures to tackle the Corona virus, there was no educational loss at the center, as educational rules were created through social media while continuing to work on projects from home and trying to compensate for the practical aspect after returning to the center.

Among the projects that will be presented at the conference and characterized by their ideas and goals, as Dr. Al-Qabili says “artificial nerves” and “biometric data security” and “exploration submarine WD7 ″ and“ 3D scanner ”and“ directing sound waves ”and“ spying by laser ” And “semi-perpetuating water engine”, “noise electric generation”, “lifting objects using ultrasound,” “studying and designing a three-dimensional model of an upper artificial limb,” and “predicting currency rates using machine learning algorithms”.

Among the research projects are also: “cultivation of economic and medicinal plants by the glass and extraction of raw compounds from them” and “developing the biological filter and testing its effectiveness in water purification” and “contributing to the assessment of the impact of noise on the rate of growth of neighborhoods” and “the effect of onion extracts on leishmania” and “detection Beta thalassemia mutations in the Syrian coast, "the extraction of precious metal cations by selective organic hosts", "heat sensitive polymers to verify the efficacy of some types of drugs" and "synthesis of lactic acid polymer in a new way."

The third-grade student, Al-Hadi Zaidan, spoke to SANA about his team’s project, which is “the four-propeller plane to protect international borders,” saying that the project offers an integrated protection system through the ability to detect and classify the mobile component and send a message to the center stating that the team worked on the project with The beginning of the academic year, but it stopped with the quarantine period, so that the team would work again and be satisfied with the theoretical and programmatic side without currently reaching the practical application.

For his part, student Yunus Shiha, a “third secondary” who presented with his team of six people, explained how to extract precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum from secondary sources and not from natural raw materials, while student Hussam Ezzo, who won the bronze award at the Colmogrove conference for research articles in the Russian Federation The project enables the production of precious metal cations by selective organic hosts that do not affect the environment and can be reused.

Ezzo pointed out that the National Center of Excellence presented to students a different methodology in receiving information and acquiring it through searching for information away from indoctrination with the presence of the role of the professor as a supervisor and directed to reach the optimal way of acquiring the information in addition to applying the information in a practical way through the existing laboratories, which gives the student practical experience Parallel to theory in an atmosphere of teamwork and participatory.

The most recent National Center of Excellence in 2009 is considered one of the three departments of the Excellence and Creativity Commission in addition to the scientific Olympiad and academic programs. The Center works to care for distinguished students who have a basic education certificate through teaching and supervising them scientifically, psychologically, socially and educationally.
