The role of LKB1 and AMPK in the adaptive response to iron deficiency in skeletal muscle
Chad Hancock, Nutrition, Dietetics & Food Science Evaluation of progress on research objectives The purpose of the research proposed in this MEG grant was to examine the relationship between the role of AMPK and LKB1 on the adaptations that occur in response to iron deficiency. We made significant progress for several aspects of the proposal. […]
Elucidating a Precise Role for the Small Heat Shock Proteins CryAB and HspB2 in Cardiac Robustness
Julianne H Grose, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met Specific Aim 1: Perform yeast two-hybrid screens on wild type CryAB, R120G CryAB, and HspB2 in order to create a protein-protein interaction network and identify potential substrates. Achievements: Large-scale yeast-two hybrid screens were performed on wild […]
Linking water and carbon cycles to train students to meet 21st Century grand challenges in environmental science
Richard Gill, Biology Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met The central aim of this proposal is to provide opportunities for students from diverse academic backgrounds to work collaboratively on a number of federally funded environmental change experiments across four of Utah’s ecosystems—Mojave Desert, Great Basin Shrub Steppe, Subalpine Tall […]
PHARM: An Environment for Physical Acoustics Research and Mentoring
Kent L Gee and Tracianne B Neilsen, Physics and Astronomy Mentoring Environment Overview PHARM (PHysical Acoustics Research and Mentoring) has been operating partially with support from a MEG grant. The primary purpose of this mentoring environment is to provide undergraduates in Physics and Applied Physics opportunities to gain experience in fundamental areas of physical acoustics. […]
Supramolecular Chemistry for Undergraduate Students
David V Dearden, Roger G Harrison, John D Lamb, Chemistry and Biochemistry Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met The goal of this proposal was to train graduate and undergraduate students through research experiences in supramolecular chemistry in a multi-group environment. Academically, our objective was to synthesize and characterize new […]
Pregnancy, media, and body image
Sarah Coyne, Family Life We are happy to report on our study “Pregnancy, media, and body image” which received a MEG grant two years ago. Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met In the past two years we have made great progress on three different aspects of the study. Qualitative […]
Computational modeling of wave propagation in metamaterials
Shue-Sum Chow, Mathematics Academic Objectives The project is concerned with the study of wave propagation in metamaterials. We recall the work plan described in the original proposal and provide an evaluation of the academic objectives. Gathering of information about existing mathematical models for various metamaterials and related references on the mathematical properties of FDTD and […]
Magnetic order and fluctuation dynamics of self-assembled magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles
Karine Chesnel, Physics and Astronomy Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met The research plan described in the proposal (section 2.1) was well implemented during the period 2013-2014. Most of the steps listed in the plan were completed thanks to the fund: (1) nanoparticle preparation (2) structural characterization (3) magnetic […]
Mentoring Undergraduates Via Organic Synthesis
Steven L Castle, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Introduction. This report summarizes the results that were generated under the auspices of the mentoring environment in my laboratory from January 2013 to the present. A total of eight undergraduates participated in the mentoring environment during this period. Their names and accomplishments are listed below. Evaluation of […]
