Keaton Robertson and Dr. Charlie Morgan, Sociology Social movements, such as the Utah Minuteman Project (UMP) play an important role in shaping public opinion on critical immigration issues. Utah, regarded as a sanctuary state by antiillegal immigrant movements, is one of ten states that grant in-state tuition to anyone who graduates from a Utah high […]
Barriers to Civil Society Activity
Taylor Malia Richards and Dr. Darren Hawkins, Department of Political Science Foreign aid, and aid effectiveness, has been one of the most heated debates in international relations and US foreign policy in the past several decades. Is aid ever effective? Under what conditions? At stake are billions of dollars and, potentially, millions of lives and […]
A Meta-analytic Evaluation of the ERN as a Biological Marker of Depression and Anxiety
David Rackham and Dr. Michael Larson, Psychology Anxiety and depression disorders have a high rate of prevalence in the adult U.S. population (anxiety 18.1%; depression 9.5%; “Mental Disorders,” 2010). Indeed, it is estimated that by the year 2020 depression will be the second most prevalent health concern worldwide for all ages and both sexes (“Depression,” […]
Electroencephalography Analysis of Cognition in Multiple Sclerosis
James Price and Dr. Ramona Hopkins, Psychology Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. It is believed to be caused by an abnormal autoimmune response to cells in the brain responsible for insulating and supporting neuronal cells. The initial focal site of injury is the myelin sheath surrounding neuronal axons, […]
Reexamining the Dating of P. Oxy. LCIV 4405 (ß52) Based on Section Division Analysis
Michael Trotter and Dr. Thomas Wayment, Ancient Scripture The purpose of my project has been to reevaluate the current dating of P. Oxy. LXIV 4405, which is currently dated to the late II or early III century. This papyrus fragment preserves a section of Matthew 23: 30–39, and its original dating by Peter Parsons, and […]
Ectodermal Dysplasia in Family Arises from Unidentified Dominantly Inherited de novo Mutation
Phil Young and Dr. Emily Bates, Chemistry and Biochemistry Introduction Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a genetic disorder dealing with improper formation of tissues derived from the ectoderm, such as skin and sweat glands. Many clinical manifestations of the disorder exist, which has led to the classification of over 170 types of ectodermal dysplasia (1). The […]
Dominantly Inherited Mutation of Ectodermal Dysplasia
Ella Wyllie and Dr. Emily Bates, Biochemistry Introduction Ectodermal Dysplasia is a genetic disorder associated with the abnormal development of hair, teeth, nails, tear ducts, sweat glands, and occasionally gross craniofacial or digit structure. ED is caused by a defective in the growth and development of the ectoderm where their tissues are derived. There are […]
Does PEGylation Increase the Thermodynamic Stability of the WW domain of Pin1 via Hydrogen Bonding? A Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Chad Torgerson and Dr. Joshua Price, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Introduction Proteins are complex molecules that have the potential to treat diseases and illnesses that small molecule drugs cannot. However, a significant problem with protein medications is that proteins tend to have short serum half-lives and can be difficult to store for extended periods […]
Phosphoester Bond Stabilization for Enhanced CID Phosphoproteomics
Stewart Morley and Dr. John Prince, Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry Introduction Proteomics uses highly sensitive mass spectrometers to measure peptide fragment masses from enzymatically digested proteins. Measuring the mass of the peptide and fragments produced in the mass spectrometer allows for identification of its parent protein. Phosphoproteomics analyzes peptides that have been phosphorylated. Phosphoproteomics […]
Lipidomic Analysis of Metastatic Kidney Cancer
Brendan Coutu and Dr. John Prince, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Introduction Cancer not only affects individuals and families but has the greatest economic effect worldwide than any other premature cause of death.1 Diverse aspects of cancer biology are under investigation to better understand the mechanism of action of different cancer types, that biomarkers can […]
