Cameron Sargent and Dr. Julianne Grose, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Introduction Once the leading cause of death in the United States, tuberculosis still burdens the world as the second deadliest infectious disease worldwide, latently infecting one-third of the world population and causing 1.5 million deaths in 2013 [1]. Tuberculosis is particularly lethal largely because the […]

Assimilation vs. Multiculturalism: An Analysis of French Attitudes towards Immigration
Caleb Porter and Renata Forste, Sociology Through the use of the 2008 European Values study Dr. Forste and I initially examined factors associated with France’s nationalistic and assimilative tendencies by modeling how religiosity, education levels, and socioeconomic status predict French attitudes towards immigration. Our results showed that religiosity and spirituality played a dynamic and intriguing […]
Trace Element Analysis of Quartz Grains in the Wah Wah Springs Tuff and Granodiorite Intrusion
Michael Jensen and Faculty Mentor: Dr. Eric Christiansen PhD, Department of Geological Sciences INTRODUCTION The Wah Wah Springs Tuff and the Wah Wah Springs Intrusive Granodiorite are both part of the Indian Peak caldera complex in southwest Utah, an area of intense volcanic activity 30 million years ago. This time period is known for explosive […]
Software Package for Mass Spectrometry Isotope Analysis and Extraction
Michael Porter and Dr. John C. Price, Chemistry and Biochemistry Introduction Proteins are involved in nearly every cellular process. They transport molecules, replicate DNA, catalyze reactions, respond to stimuli, and form the structural framework of the cell. The diversity of protein function has led to an interest in understanding the cellular production and control of […]
Analysis of the Salary Gap in the Library Workforce
Sean Miner and Faculty Mentor: Quinn Galbraith, HBLL, Family Life and Sociology Since 1980, the Associate of Research Libraries (ARL) has annually published a comprehensive salary survey that provides useful information on librarian salaries, separating them by institution, personal characteristics, and other factors. At the beginning of each of the surveys, ARL has documented many […]
Finite element analysis of the biomechanical consequences of schmorl’s nodes
Boston Barham and Anton Bowden, Mechanical Engineering INTRODUCTION Schmorl’s nodes are intrusions of the disc into the vertebral endplate in the lumbar spine and are common in spinal imaging (figure 1). They are significantly associated with the presence and severity of spinal disc degeneration [1], which is a major cause of work disability and a costly […]
Systematic Analysis of Nonlinearities in Complex Models
Alexander Shumway and Faculty Mentor: Mark Transtrum, Department of Physics and Astronomy Introduction Mathematical models are ubiquitous in science. Many models are nonlinear in the parameters and may have dozens to thousands of parameters and make hundreds to thousands of predictions. Analysis and application of these models is thus theoretically complicated and computationally expensive. The […]
2D Analysis of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Wake
Nicolas Bons and Andrew Ning, Department of Mechanical Engineering 1 Introduction Wind energy is a very promising source of renewable energy for the future. Vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) arrays could potentially offer greater power density than horizontal axis wind turbines. In order to leverage the advantages of the VAWT in certain applications with confined […]
Big Humanities, Big Data: Genre Analysis of Eighteenth-Century British Poetry
Brittany Strobelt, Kylan Rice, Dr. Matthew Wickman, and Dr. Billy Hall, English Department The continual digitalization of society has not only permeated research in the Humanities, but is constantly revealing just how crucial it is to the Humanities’ future. Whereas research in the Humanities is normally limited to a very narrow dataset, digital humanities tools […]
Microarchitectural Analysis of the Ulnar Collateral Ligament to Inform its Reconstruction
Jakob Gamboa and Dr. Jonathan Wisco, Physiology and Developmental Biology Ligaments are specialized connective tissues that stabilize the different synovial joints found in the body. Ligaments consist of fibroblast cells surrounded by a framework of dense fibrous bands of collagen, which anchor to bones to provide support and elasticity. Their varying biomechanical functions in different […]
