Jesse A. Bingham and Melinda Buchanan and Drs. Susanne F. Olsen and Elaine S. Sorensen, Family Science When a family includes one or more children with special needs every family member is affected by the challenges related to that chronic disability. In the past, research has focused on the child and his or her disability […]
“ICH HEIRATE GRUNDSETZLICH NICHT:” THE REJECTION OF THE FEMININE AND THE FAILURE OF INDIVIDUATION IN MAX FRISCH’S HOMO FABER
Jared E. Berg and Professor Thomas G. Plummer, Humanities, Classics and Comparative Literature The novel Homo Faber by the Swiss author Max Frisch is an important post-war work that describes the psychic tragedy resulting from the denial of myth, beauty, and the feminine by a mind rooted too firmly in reason and logic. It is a […]
DEVELOPMENT OF NEW LIPID A-BINDING AGENTS
Mark Benson and Dr. Paul B. Savage, Chemistry and Biochemistry The aim of this project is to synthesize a non-peptide lipid A-binding agent which is less toxic and simpler than polymyxin B. Such a binding agent could be used to fight sepsis, a toxic condition where the body overreacts to the lipid A portion of […]
DIGITAL FILTER DESIGN
Ruth Bell and Dr. Doran Wilde, Electrical and Computer Engineering A number of approaches to constructing high performance recursive digital filters have been attempted. An approach using piplelined multiply-accumulate blocks in which computations are performed most significant digit (msd) first has demonstrated important benefits. A recent computer journal article describes 1 msd first multiply accumulation […]
AN ILLUSTRATED BOOK ON THE LIFE OF PARLEY P. PRATT
Emily Becraft and Professor Robert Barrett, Visual Arts The idea for this project came about as I, a descendant of Parley P. Pratt, realized I knew very little about him, his life, his family, and only a very small portion of what he contributed to the founding and history of the Church of Jesus Christ of […]
CARTOGRAPHIC RELATIONSHIP TO XENOPHOBIA
Gerilyn Beck, Geography A form of deceptive information is concealed in our midst-one all the more malignant, for the ignorance of its audience leaves them vulnerable to a pervasive persuasion. I am speaking of cartographic display, a little understood and highly available transmitter of information that we accept trustfully. I have focused on the cartographic […]
NEW TECHNIQUES FOR STUDYING WHIRLING DISEASE
Nathan Bay and Dr. Richard A. Heckmann, Zoology Despite drastic control and containment measures, the incidence of whirling disease is on the rise in the West. Whirling disease occurs when the trophozoite stage of Myxobolus cerebralis invades the cartilage and organ of equilibrium of salmonids. Pathological symptoms include tail chasing behavior, blackened tafls, and vertebral […]
TEMPERATURE INDUCED BIREFRINGENCE CHANGE IN D FIBERS
Idris El Bakri and Dr. Richard H. Selfridge, Electrical and Computer Engineering, The project was an experimental and theoretical research effort to determine the effect of temperature on the birefringence of optical D fibers. Such fibers have a D shaped cross section, hence their name, and consist of a three major regions: the light guiding […]
GERMINATION OF BROMUS TECTORUM IN RESPONSE TO DEHYDRATION FOLLOWING IMBIBITION
Jennifer Baker and Dr. Phil S. Allen, Zoology In order to achieve successful seedling establishment, seeds must have mechanisms to protect against germinating under harmful environmental conditions. One such mechanism, semi-dormancy, can be triggered by dehydration of imbibed seeds. Depending on the length, severity, and extent of hydration prior to dehydration, some seeds exhibit delayed […]
ANALYSIS OF A COMPLIANT CENTRIFUGAL CLUTCH USING COMPUTERAIDED ENGINEERING TOOLS
James D. Baker and Dr. Larry L. Howell, Mechanical Engineering Contemporary engineering has received the benefits of computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools that automate and simplify the design of mechanical systems. However, such tools do not provide direct support for the specific field of compliant mechanisms, whose behavior can require difficult techniques for design and synthesis. […]
