Melissa Brown and Dr. Mark Grandstaff, History Betty Friedan, in her book, The Feminine Mystique argues that men shape women’s roles through the media, but at some points in time, the reverse has been true. During WWII, Parents’ Magazine, with it’s almost all-woman editorial board and largely female readership produced more articles on fatherhood than […]
Phosphate and Ferritin Iron Deposition Kinetics
David D. Brosnahan and Dr. Gerald D. Watt, Chemistry and Biochemistry I performed a ferritin iron reconstitution experiment, making 10 sequential additions of 10 ferrous ions per ferritin molecule at 10- minute intervals (see Figure 1). Monitoring the reaction at 375 nm, I observed a fast initial absorbance change representing iron oxidation. After the initial […]
Regulation of G-Protein Signaling by Phosducin-Like Protein
Steven M. Bray and Professor Steven M. Bray, Chemistry and Biochemistry Introduction and Project Aim G-protein signaling is one of the major pathways which cells utilize to transmit messages. The signaling pathway consists of a receptor coupled to a G-protein, which activates secondary messengers. Signaling molecules, such as hormones and neurotransmitters, bind receptors on the cell […]
Bone Density in College Women: The First Phase of a Two Phase Study of the Early, Modifiable Markers of Osteoporosis and the Effect of Calcium and Magnesium Supplements
Jason Boyd and Dr. Bruce H. Woolley, Food Science and Nutrition Introduction Peak bone mass of pre-menopausal women has been established as a major risk factor for postmenopausal osteoporosis and related bone fractures (4). Previous research evidence suggest that bone mass of both the peripheral and axial skeleton is stable for women before menopause (1,2). […]
Internal Cleave and Fill: A Method for Internal Refinement of All-Hexahedral Swept Meshes
Michael Borden and Dr. Steven E. Benzley, Civil and Environmental Engineering Three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) is an important design tool for scientists and engineers. Before the analysis can begin, a continuous domain must be subdivided into small elements (i.e., finite elements). The process of subdividing a continuous domain is called meshing. There is currently […]
Crushed
Brett Bolander and Professor Adrian Pulfer, Visual Arts My first attempt at filmmaking turned out to be quite a positive experience. I was interested in the possibilities of crossing the disciplines of graphic design and film, and I am glad to find that they can mesh together quite well. One of my initial goals was trying […]
Modified á-Zeins Containing Lysine Inserts Will Interact With ã-Zeins To Form Stable Protein Bodies in Transgenic Tobacco Endosperm
James Bird and Dr. Craig E. Coleman, Botany and Range Sciences Maize is one of the most abundantly produced grains on earth and is widely used in human and livestock diets. 90% of maize protein is found in the endosperm portion of the seed in the form of small spherical aggregates called protein bodies. These […]
The Photosilkscreen Project: Finding Unity in Diversity
Namon D. Bills and Professor Joe Ostraff, Visual Arts The original stated purpose of this project was to produce a series of paintings using photosilkscreen processes to create working compositions by combining disparate concrete images and abstract markmaking in order to find harmony through diversity both in the combination of concrete images and in the way […]
“And Know the Place for the First Time” The 1851 Ecclesiastical Census of England and Wales and Early LDS Branch
Evva Courtney Benson and Dr. Cynthia L. Doxey, Church History and Doctrine Purpose The year 1851 was a unique one in England. Not only was it the year of the decennial census, but it was the only time a national census on religion was taken. 1851 was also a year when the Church of Jesus […]
Location of Enhancer Elements Within The Five Prime Region of the Collagen II Gene
Kristopher Bennion and Dr. Laura Bridgewater, Zoology In the beginning of the 1999 Fall semester I made a request for a scholarship for my efforts in research with DNA Recombination, specifically to locate enhancers along a defined length of the Collagen XI gene in Dr Bridgewater’s Lab. I desired a better understanding gene activation and […]
