A Comparison of Various Contraction Intensities in Contract-Relax Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Stretching of the Hamstring Muscle Group
Heather Nielson and Dr. Brent Feland, Physical Education Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a popular stretching method that increases flexibility. There are several different methods of PNF, but they all usually require the assistance of another person. The contract-relax method is a widely used PNF techniquei that utilizes maximum voluntary isometric muscle contraction (MVIC) followed […]

Selenium-Regulation of Steroid Hormone-Mediated Gene Expression in Transformed Human Prostate Epithelial Cells
David R. Nielsen and Dr. Merril Christensen, Food and Science and Nutrition Introduction Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in American men, with current estimates projecting 179,300 new cases and 37,000 deaths this year [1]. The development of prostate cancer may be divided into three stages: initiation, promotion, and progression. During […]
Vitamin Enhanced Cancer Chemotherapy Using 13-CIS- Retinoic Acid, Vitamin E Succinate and 5-Fluorouracil
Marcus C. Neuffer and Dr. Byron K. Murray, Microbiology Recent studies have suggested that vitamins and vitamin derivatives can enhance the efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs (2,3). In this study the combination of 13-cis-Retinoic Acid (RA), a Vitamin A derivative, and Vitamin E Succinate (VES) are used with the chemotherapeutic agent 5-Fluorouracil (5FU). Previous studies have […]
Construction of a COL11A1 Transgene and the Study of the COL11A1 Mutation in Mice
Dana L. Murphy and Dr. Laura C. Bridgewater, Zoology Collagen fibrils play an important role in proper skeletal development. Defective collagen can cause human skeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis that affects an estimated 20.7 million Americans. A particular mouse line, housed here at BYU, contains a mutation in the Col11a1 gene. This mutation results in […]
Mountain West IT Economies: Similar but Disparate? A Multi-Faceted Comparison of Utah and Colorado Public IT Markets
Michael Murff and Dr. Jay Goodliffe, Political Science Escalating in the mid-1970s, two very similar Mountain West economies augmented a dramatic shift from mining and agriculture toward information technology (IT). Both Utah and Colorado took steps to attract computer and software firms in an effort to diversify and develop IT industries. At first glance, Colorado […]

The Efficacy of Social Language Intervention on Children with Specific Language Impairment—A Pilot Study
Sarah Johnson Mueller and Dr. Martin Fujiki, Audiology and Speech Language Pathology In this pilot study, I investigated the efficacy of an experimental social skills intervention program for children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI). As there is a limited amount of research related to the treatment of the social skills of these children, it was […]
Removing Points from a Delaunay Tetrahedralization
Nathan Moon and Dr. Bryan S. Morse, Computer Science A set of points in three dimensions can be tetrahedralized, or broken into non-intersecting tetrahedra, in many ways. A Delaunay tetrahedralization of a set of points is a tetrahedralization with the property that the sphere defined by each tetrahedron in the structure does not contain any […]
