Conan C. Albrecht and Dr. Stephen W. Liddle, Accountancy and Information Systems Many health fields have progressed slowly in the area of computer systems. My research focused on these systems specifically on the optometry health field. Many problems exist with the current systems available to optometrists. This fact is evident by their current use; a […]
Comparison of Bootstrap Confidence Interval Methods in a Real Application: The Kappa Statistic in Industry
Kirk O. Monson and Dr. Bruce G. Schaalje, Statistics The kappa statistic is defined as the proportion of agreement between two instruments after chance agreement is removed from consideration (Cohen 1960). It is very useful when assessing the similarities of two instruments or procedures. Industries often use an automated system for testing their products to […]
Maternalism Vs. Militarism: Women’s Nonviolent Resistance to Military Rule
Anne Miner and Dr. Valerie Hudson, Political Science My analysis of women’s nonviolent resistance focused on two historical case studies. The first was the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo who opposed the military regime of 1977 in Argentina. Their nonviolent resistance began in opposition to the disappearance of family members, particularly their children. These […]
Translation and Commentary of Manuel Canete’s Prologue to the Obras Completas del Duque de Rivas
Emily Bishop Milner and Dr. Dale Pratt, Spanish and Portuquese My project had two phases: first, to translate approximately twenty-five pages of flowery and rather difficult Spanish into clear English; and second, to provide a commentary explaining the relationship of the translated prologue to other similar works within Spanish Romanticism as well as continental Romanticism. […]
INVESTIGATION OF THE PYRULARIA THIONIN-EGF MITOTOXIN ON CELL SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION
Andrew B. Adams and Dr. Steven G. Wood, Chemistry and Biochemistry Recently more emphasis has been placed on developing anti-cancer agents with greater specificity and fewer side effects. Immunotoxins and their relatives, mitotoxins, have arisen as possible answers. Mitotoxins are composed of mitogens coupled to plant or bacterial toxins. The mitotoxin under investigation is the […]
CREATIVE RESEARCH RESULTS AND SHORT STORY COLLECTION
Holly A. Abbe and Dr. Susan Howe, Department of English My father, Henry Reed, grew up in a small town in upper state New York where the sleepy hills turn orange and gold in the fall, where a man wearing white brings milk in bottles every morning to each door step, and where the church […]
Multi-Angle Reflectance Measurements of Uranium at 584 Å
Cynthia E. Mills and Dr. R. Steven Turley, Physics and Astronomy Little is known about the interaction of extreme ultraviolet light (EUV) with materials. This project is a beginning step to filling the information void. My wavelength, 584 Å, is a dominant He I line in the EUV, the 1s 2p to 1s2 transition. The […]
Cancer in Families: Uncovering the Effects of Chemotherapy and Bone Marrow Transplants on Family Relationships
Kati L. Millar and Dr. Susanne F. Olsen, Marriage, Family, and Human Development My primary question when I began my research concerned the relationship of family members during a bone marrow transplant of one of the members. I was specifically interested in how their relationships changed during this time if any change actually occurred. I […]
Follicular Dendritic Cells, HIV and Haart Treatment
Jason Meyer and Dr. Gregory Burton, Microbiology The use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for HIV-infected patients can result in the reduction of plasma viral RNA levels to nearly undetectable levels. However, the existence of replication competent virus from chronically infected CD4+ T cells despite apparently successful HAART treatment suggests the existence of protective […]
Proton Conductance through the Membrane Protein Gramicidin M
Jason D. Merrell and Professor David D. Busath, Zoology After discussion with my faculty mentor, together we decided that my original ORCA proposal would not best suit the needs of the laboratory in which I am allowed to work. Upon reaching this conclusion, a new research plan was organized. The following outlines the progress of this new […]
