Tyler Foulger, Michael Jones, and Nathan Bench, BYU Computer Science Introduction: The purpose of this MRI study was an attempt to discover and understand how communication is processed via the neural pathways of children ages 8-10. Analysis of the data we obtained would possibly help us in better adapting our head-mounted display (HMD) technology for […]
Optimizing Metallization of DNA-templated Nanostructures
Andrew Dearden and Adam Woolley, Chemistry & Biochemistry With countless technologies that rely on microprocessors, there is a great need for increasingly smaller microelectronic components. Traditionally, manufacturers have employed a “top-down” approach to build microelectronics – that is, they have attempted to scale functional microcircuitry components down in size, hoping for similar performance in a […]
Transpose Symmetry Groups of Noninvertible Polynomials
Nathan Cordner and Dr. Tyler Jarvis, Department of Mathematics Introduction Mirror symmetry is an area of mathematical research that stems from theoretical physics, particularly from string theory. Solutions of problems in mirror symmetry yield not only interesting mathematical results, but also have important theoretical implications for high energy particle physics. In Landau-Ginzburg mirror symmetry, there […]
Sound Reduction in Protheses for Developing Countries
Ashlie Burton, and Dr. Lawrence Rees, Physics and Astronomy Introduction 2ft Prosthetics has been making below-the-knee prostheses for developing countries since 2010. While these feet have been helpful, improvements should be made to the design. One of the common complaints about the PVC foot was the amount of noise created during gait. The purpose of […]
Autophagy-Mediated Mechanisms of Chemoresistance in Cancer
David Broadbent, Dr. Joshua Andersen, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry The resistance of tumor cells to chemotherapy is a critical problem in the clinic and is a common cause of mortality in cancer. Emerging data suggests that resistance to chemotherapy is caused by a tumor-expressed protein called 14-3-3ζ, yet the mechanism to explain 14-3-3ζ-mediated chemoresistance […]
Defining the Transpose Group in Landau-Ginzburg Mirror Symmetry
Lisa Bendall, Dr. Tyler Jarvis, Math Department Introduction. Mirror symmetry is a phenomenon first observed in theoretical physics, which has garnered interest among mathematicians. The Landau-Ginzburg mirror symmetry conjecture proposes two algebraic structures which are isomorphic, or in some sense “mirror” each other. These structures are built from polynomials and corresponding symmetry groups. Much research […]
Functional Anatomy of the Forelimb of a New Drepanosaur: Testing Behavioral Models for Extinct Species
Austin Andrus, Dr. Brooks Britt, Department of Geological Sciences Introduction: I recently discovered a new genus of reptile from the Triassic period (roughly 225 million years ago). Reptiles like it are called “drepanosaurs,” and share many unique features such as large claws, unusual, humped shoulder blades, opposable fingers, and prehensile tails. Many of these structures […]
Improvement of Atomic Layer Deposition Techniques of Tungsten Using Hydrogen as a Reducing Agent
Jason Kyle Anderson, Dr. David Allred, and Department of Physics and Astronomy Introduction: Traditional micro fabrication processes are confined to a small subset of possible materials due to limitations on etching. They are also confined to low aspect ratio fabrication due to limits in both etching process and stability of thicker film deposition processes. Carbon […]
Researching the Restoration of the Melchizedek Priesthood
Nathan Richardson, Dr. Michael Hubbard MacKay, Church History and Doctrine Many historians, both Mormon and non-Mormon, have developed ideas about the restoration of the priesthood, and there is a rich literature that describes the details of those events. However, the Joseph Smith Papers Project, for which my mentor, Dr. MacKay is an author, has uncovered […]
Reevaluating the Bronze and Iron Age Ceramic Evidence of Biblical Hebron
Christina Nelson, Jeffrey Chadwick, Church History and Doctrine As the home to several Old Testament prophets such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and King David, Hebron holds a significant role in the biblical narrative and history of the Israelites. Today, the modern city of Hebron is located in the hill country of Judah, most known […]
