Lauren Syndergaard and Brian Poole, Micro and Molecular Biology Introduction Dengue virus is a mosquitoes-borne virus that causes dengue fever. It is found primarily in tropical areas with over a third of the world’s population living in at-risk areas (WHO). The number of infections has grown rapidly in recent years with as many as 50 […]

Analysis of the Adjuvant Effect of Vitamin D3 in Enhancing Mucosal Immune Responses
Cameron Sargent and Dr. Eric Wilson, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Introduction Because skin provides an effective physical barrier, most pathogens that invade the body do so at mucosal sites like the nose and mouth. As such, finding methods of improving mucosal immunity is key to providing greater defense against communicable diseases, the cause of approximately […]
P300 Latency in Alzheimer’s Disease: A Meta-Analysis and Meta-Regression
David Payne Bennett and Dawson Hedges, Psychology Introduction Developing a biomarker for accurate assessment and detection of Alzheimer’s disease was the goal of our research. The P300 component of the event-‐related potential has been indicated to apparently change with the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. As measuring the P300 is non-‐invasive and relatively easy, we sought […]
Portraying “The Responsible Man”: A Historiographical Analysis of Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Greer Bates and Dr. Paul Kerry, History The roots of this project stem from years of research into the life and theological work of Dietrich Bonhoeffer—a German pastor who contributed to 20th century Christian theology and who was executed for his work in movements opposing the Third Reich in Nazi Germany. As I have read […]
Large Developments and Light Rail Stops: An Analysis of Development and Transit in the Sacramento Metropolitan Region
Chelsea Bakaitis and Michael Clay, Geography Introduction The traditional downtown and suburban form of a metropolis is becoming an obsolete model to describe the Sacramento region. The region has five commercial centers among the communities (described as “edge cities”) surrounding the traditional downtown of the City of Sacramento (Garreau 1991). Developers of the region have […]
Local p-refinement in Isogeometric Analysis
Ronald Spencer and Professor Michael Scott, Civil Engineering Introduction Achieving accurate numerical solutions to demanding problems in science and engineering requires robust, accurate, and adaptive numerical technology. Adaptivity, in the context of numerical methods, is the process of tailoring a numerical solution to “fit” the physical solution. This is generally achieved by increasing or decreasing […]
Review and Analysis of the Marketing Practices of Independent Local Musicans
Michael Hammari and Dr. Paul Deurden, Theater and Media Arts It was the intent of this research to identify and analyze the current and possible marketing practices of independent, local musicians based in the Provo Area. In order to accomplish this objective three methods were employed. First, local musicians were interviewed to examine their current […]
A Bayesian Nonparametric Approach to Hyperspectral Data Analysis
Jessica Seeger and Dr. Candace Berrett, BYU Department of Statistics Introduction Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a technology that provides a dense set of previously un- available data{o ering the opportunity for use in a variety of applications such as food safety, ecology, and non-proliferation research. HSI stores measurements across three dimen- sions (two-dimensional space and […]
Phase-Correlation and Propagation Analysis of Near-Field Military Jet Noise
Jazz Myres and Dr. Kent Gee, Department of Physics and Astronomy Introduction According to the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the United States Department of Veteran Affairs spent over $1 billion dollars on military hearing loss compensation in 2010 alone1. A major cause of hearing loss is exposure to high Sound Pressure Levels, which are […]
Magnetic Symmetry-Mode Analysis of LA0.5 CA0.5 MnO3
Eric Gibbs and Dr. Branton Campbell, Physics Introduction: This project focuses on solving magnetic crystal structures using symmetry-mode analysis (SMA). A crystal is an arrangement of atoms in a repeating spatial pattern with the smallest repeating unit being known as the unit cell. A magnetic crystal contains atoms with a non-zero magnetic moment. A magnetic […]
