Jarom L. McDonald and Dr. Ed Cutler, English One of the most beneficial tools for the study of literature is a working knowledge of the culture that influenced the authors of that literature and helped give rise to the social attitudes, feelings, and movements which that literature is trying to reflect. Having first-hand recognized the […]
Independent Murine Biosynthesis of Threonine: Expression of a Complete Bacterial Biosynthetic Pathway in Mice
Ryan D. McAllister and Dr. David Kooyman, Animal Science Threonine is one of the 20 common amino acids found in nature. It is a limiting factor for the growth of many non-ruminant animals such as swine and mice and must be obtained from their diet. When threonine is absent from the diet of these animals, […]
Molecular Evolution among Populations of the Silky Pocket Mouse (Parognathus flavus)
Taylor Maxwell and Dr. Duke Rogers, Zoology Mexico is classified as a “megadiversity” country, which means that it has more species of plants and animals than the vast majority of other countries in the world. For example, there are ca. 4,750 species of mammals known to science, and more than one of every seven can […]
Isotruss™ -Reinforced Concrete Beams
Justin Marshall & David Jensen & Fernando Fonseca, Civil and Environmental Engineering Identification of Problem and Opportunity When a reinforced concrete beam is loaded it tends to sag or deflect. Because of this deflection, the bottom fibers of the beam are in tension while the top is compressed. Reinforcement (rebar) is placed in beams to […]
(CON)TEXT
Christopher Lynn and Professor Gary Barton, Visual Arts Within the field of semiotics, methods of communication (languages) are separated into three distinct categories: signifier, signified, and sign. The signifier is a thing, like a ball. The signified is a definition or concept of the thing: a ball is a spherical object. When the signifier and […]
Gethsemane Series
Sarah Ludlow and Professor Robert Barrett, Visual Arts Design From my Fall 1998 submission of an ORCA proposal, I have since been extremely involved in the completion of my proposed project. As an Illustration major seeking a religious emphasis, I feel that the worth of a picture is to develop and motivate the mind to […]
The Economic Development Of Laos And Its Future Membership In The Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation
Sean C. Luangrath and Dr. Stanley E. Fawcett and Brent D. Wilson, Department of Business Management In 1997, Laos was admitted into the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). This membership in a free-trade area has accelerated Laos’ economic growth but only to a certain extent—free trade is limited to only Southeast Asian countries. The […]
Random Mutagenesis in Phob: a Proposed Study of The Effects of Mutations in Phosphate Regulation
Chad C. Lowe and Dr. William R. McCleary, Microbiology Within the prokaryotic cell, the intake of essential nutrients is continuously regulated by intracellular mechanisms. When fundamental nutrients become scarce, cellular stress responses are activated to enable the cell to survive in a harsh environment. Recent studies have shown a two-component regulatory mechanism which enhances Escherichia […]
Measles Virus And Its Interactions With Follicular Dendritic Cells
Michael J. Lloyd and Dr. Gregory F. Burton, Microbiology Measles virus continues to be a major cause of death in most third-world countries and a considerable threat to the health of every country. Infection with measles is thought to be associated with the fatal, late-infection disease subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) (3). It is thought that […]
Developing Film Processes
Ryan Little and Professor Tom Lefler, Theatre and Media Arts As a student of cinematography I have focused most of my studies on “Sensitometry,” the science of measuring the response of photographic emulsions to light. The way in which a film is exposed, processed and viewed can affect the degree to which the film=s sensito-metric […]
