However, such simplified […]
Pressure Perturbation Calorimetry
Blair R. Brown and Dr. Earl M. Woolley, Chemistry and Biochemistry In Dr. Woolley’s lab we have made extensive measurements of the Apparent Molar Heat Capacities of aqueous solutions using a Nano Differential Scanning Calorimeter, N-DSC (Calorimetry Science Corporation, Spanish Fork, UT). Through modifications to the N-DSC we are now able to do pressure perturbation […]
Understanding the Secretion of Histamine
Sean P. Brady and Dr. Paul B. Savage With help from fellow lab members, this project involved the synthesis of several antigen linkers in order to aid the understanding of histamine secretion of basophil cells. It is hypothesized that the bi-valent linkers (such as the ones outlined below) do not stimulate basophil cells, but that […]
ORCA
Dustin Griner Research and clinical practice has taught us that the first twenty-eight days of an infant’s life are critical.

Outsourcing the Internal Audit Function and Other Factors Affecting the External Auditor’s Reliance Decision
David Wood and Dr. Douglas F. Prawitt, School of Accountancy and Information Systems Internal audit has undergone significant changes in the last few years. In particular, outsourcing of the internal audit function (IAF), often to large CPA firms, has grown in popularity as companies seek to reduce costs and to focus on core business competencies. […]
Resolving the Service Recovery Paradox
Ryan Jeffery Walker and Dr. Kristie Seawright Introduction Unlike manufacturing, zero defects are impossible to achieve in service management due to varying expectations of interpersonal communication and/or customer contact. Recognizing that service failures will occur, effective service managers design recovery elements into their service delivery system. Service recovery is the set of activities designed to […]
