Larry C. Ford and Drs. Noel L. Owen, Chemistry and Biochemistry and Steven G. Wood, Chemistry and Biochemistry With antimicrobial resistance on the rise, research is turning more and more to natural sources for medicinal products (the original source, ironically, for most known antimicrobials). Under the aegis of the Natural Product Center here on campus, […]
Research Tom Polacca and His Descendants
Sterling Fluharty and Dr. David J. Whittaker Tom Polacca was a Hopi-Tewa in Arizona who was known for his leadership, progressive ideas, political involvement, and conversion to the Mormon Church. My intent was to research the life of him and his descendants, examining primary and secondary sources, as well as collecting oral history from descendants […]
The Modern Relevance of Natural Law Considered from an Epistemological Perspective: Taking Up the Challenge of Foucault and the Poststructuralists
Robert David Hunter Floyd and Dr. Kelly D. Patterson, Political Science This two-year project, undertaken with the aid of ORCA funding, is preceding both on schedule and in many ways better than expected. The support provided in the grant has allowed me to dedicate considerable time and energy to a topic which requires me to […]
Chemical and Taxonomic Analysis of Archaeological Soils of Piedras Negras, Guatemala
Fabián G. Fernández and Dr. Richard E. Terry, Agronomy and Horticulture New research techniques used in other fields such as agronomy, geophysics, geochemistry, etc. are used by archaeologists at the present time. These techniques have the potential to give useful information about ancient human activities. The chemical and taxonomic analysis of soils can be a […]
Examination of Material Flow Characteristics in Friction Stir Welding
S. James Felsted and Dr. Tracy W. Nelson, Mechanical Engineering Friction Stir Welding is a solid state joining process that makes possible the joining of materials that were previously difficult or impossible to weld. A closer examination of friction stir welding shows that welding occurs because of mechanical mixing, frictional heating, and forging. Welds are […]
The Test Re-test Reliability and Criterion Validity for the YOQ Self-Report Version
Stephen Thomas Ewing and Dr. Gawain Wells, Psychology The Youth Outcome Questionnaire Self Report (YOQ S-R) is a new psychological measure for adolescents. It is designed to track how an adolescent feels that he or she may be changing in mental health treatment. In order to do that, we took a sample of adolescents from […]
Induction of a Novel Form of Cyclooxygenase by Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs
Nathan K. Evanson and Dr. Daniel L. Simmons, Chemistry and Biochemistry For many years, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation. The analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory effects of these drugs have been attributed to the ability of these drugs to inhibit the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes1. COX enzymes […]
Rapid Capillary Electrophoresis Assay for the Isoenzyme, TK1, as an Indicator for Breast Cancer
Mari Evans and Dr. Milton L. Lee, Chemistry and Biochemistry The isoenzyme thymidine kinase (TK1), found in human serum, has been shown to be a cancer tumor marker. It has demonstrated both diagnostic and prognostic value in the treatment of breast cancer.1 Currently TK1 levels are measured by radioimmunoassay and enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA). Radioimmunoassay […]
Comparison of the Shattering Characteristic of Glyphosate Resistant Canola with a Non-Resistant Variety
David L. Esplin and Dr. Larry S. Jeffery, Agronomy and Horticulture Shattering is a characteristic of many plants that are weeds in food crops. Several examples exist where a weed and a cultivated crop are different due to their shattering characteristic. For instance, Proso millet(Panicum miliaceum), a cultivated crop used for birdseed, is the same […]
