Brian Poole, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met: The academic objectives of this proposal were met. Using the funding provided by the MEG, we generated data that was used to publish three peer-reviewed journal articles: Daniel N. Clark, Jared P. Lambert, Rodney E. Till, Lissenya […]

The Integration of Mobile Technology into Remedial Literacy Classrooms and The Use of School Stories to Provide Reflective Spaces for Preservice English Teachers
Dr. Jon Ostenson, English Education Review of Research Studies and Academic Objectives of the Proposals Mobile Tech Since the 1990s, efforts have been made in public schools to integrate technology into the classroom; from early initiatives to create educational software to efforts to improve access to technology through computer labs (static and mobile), this work […]
Post-Translational Modifications of Thymidine Kinase 1
Dr. Kim O’Neill, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) is one diagnostic and prognostic marker which has shown promising potential in a variety of solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Unfortunately there have been challenges associated with developing a clinically useful immunoassay which have prevented TK1 from being fully utilized in the clinical setting […]
Science in a Nutshell: Studying the Use of Humor in Science Writing
Meredith Gold and Professor Gus Hart Introduction The purpose of this study was to expand upon a previous and successful unofficial study that I did in high school, testing the effectiveness of humor in instructional science writing. Despite the fact that various extenuating circumstances (including multiple cases of prolonged illness) hindered measurable data collection, the […]
Relating Quantum Dynamics and Entanglement
John Gardiner and Jean-Francois Van Huele, Physics and Astronomy Introduction Entanglement is a quantum phenomenon that is important to many applications including quantum computing and cryptography. The way that a quantum system changes in time is encoded in a mathematical object called the Hamiltonian of the system. The goal of this project was to better […]
Neurological Research to Supplement HMD Technology Development for the Benefit of Deaf and Hard-of-hearing Students
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 […]
BYU COMPUTATIONAL NUMBER THEORY RESEARCH GROUP DAVID CARDON, DARRIN DOUD, PAUL JENKINS, AND PACE NIELSEN
Pace Nielsen, Mathematics Evaluation of Academic Objectives In the years 2013-2014 we held a weekly seminar in which every supported student gave presentations at least once (but usually twice or more) per semester. This gave the students opportunities to learn and develop presentations skills, which will help them later in their careers. It also gave […]
Egypt Excavation Conservation Training
Kerry Muhlestein, Lincoln Blumell and David Whitchurch, Ancient Scripture Paul Stavast, Anthropology Giovanni Tata, Creative Works R Paul Evans, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Kristin South With the monies from the MEG granted to me and the BYU Egypt Excavation Project, we were able to accomplish wonderful things. As per our proposal, we have used the […]
