Glade E. Roper and Dr. Paul B. Savage, Chemistry and Biochemistry Septic shock is a disease that kills over 100,000 hospitalized patients in the United States every year. The mortality rate for those who fall into septic shock is between fifty and eighty percent, and despite advances in medicine this rate has remained constant over […]
Impact of the Japanese Teahouse on Residential Architecture
David P. Rondina and Professor Lee A. Butler, History The results of this research grant have been interesting and difficult to obtain. To find all of the information that was necessary I not only looked in published books and articles but I also went to Japan to examine first hand some of the tea houses and […]
DNA Fingerprinting of Twelve Bordetella avium Strains
Friederike Roloff and Dr. Ron W. Leavitt, Microbiology Introduction Bordetella avium causes a respiratory disease in poultry which especially young turkeys are susceptible to. We are working with the Moroni Feed Company, who supplied us with 12 strains of Bordetella avium. Eleven of the strains are from outbreaks of the disease in the Southern Utah […]
A Comparative Study of Stylistic Influences of Three Twentieth-Century Piano Etudes

In the twentiethcentury, composers of the piano etude invented new ways of approaching the piano, integrated a variety of unusual artistic influences […]
A FINE STRUCTURE COMPARISON OF THREE SPECIES OF ARGULUS (CRUSTACEA: BRANCHIURA) ECTOPARASITES OF FARMED AND WILD FISH
Adam Bowen and Professor Richard A. Heckmann, Zoology Argulus, commonly called fish-lice, are crustacean ectoparasites of fish. This study compared three members of the genus Argulus: A. pugetensis from Nanaimo, British Columbia; A. coregoni from Curitiba, Brazil; and A. siamensis from Bangalore, India. It was hypothesized that argulids of different taxons must have morphological variations […]
The Ethnophysiologocial Janus: Changing Perceptions of Illness and Curing in the Guatemalan Mayan Highlands

This study investigates data collected from […]
Neural Network Topologies
Michael Rimer and Dr. Tony Martinez, Computer Science Neural networks are a statistics-based learning paradigm in which specific acquired data samples are studied to form general rules on how to correctly handle new, unseen data. They have been used to make informed decisions in complex systems, such as predicting stock market trends, controlling robots in […]
Instrumentation of Rebar for Use in the Structural Analysis of a Culvert and Data Reduction for a Pile Study
Paul W. Richards and Dr. Kyle M. Rollins, Civil and Environmental Engineering Pheonix Gunite is an engineering firm responsible for the ongoing construction of several culverts (underground tunnels) in the Las Vegas area. These reinforced culverts serve a variety of purposes including pedestrian walkways and water transportation. My proposed project was to instrument the rebar […]

SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY OF EARLY INFECTION OF DYERS WOAD, ISATIS TINCTORIA BY GERMLINGS OF PUCCINIA THLASPEOS
Michael T. Binns and Dr. Gary R. Hooper, Agronomy and Horticulture Dyers Woad (Isatis tinctoria) is an introduced noxious weed of crop and rangeland in northern Utah. A native rust fungus (tentatively identified as Puccinia thlaspeos) is being investigated as a possible biological control agent of the weed. In order to effectively use the rust […]
