Joshua Wilkerson and Dr. Thomas Knotts, Chemical Engineering Introduction Proteins are versatile biological molecules that catalyze chemical reactions, provide cellular structure, and transport materials throughout the body. Proteins have been adapted for use in a wide variety of industries including food processing, medical diagnostics, and therapeutics. However, proteins must often be modified to enhance their […]

Perception of Speech and Song in Religious Music: A Neurological Approach
Dagan Pielstick and Francesca Lawson, Comparative Arts & Letters Introduction The relationship between speech and song has been an area of interest in evolutionary biology and neuroscience over the past two decades. Some evolutionary biologists have hypothesized that music and language descended from a protolanguage in early human communication (Brown 2000). At the same time, […]
Russian for Professional Purposes: An Experiential and Instruction Based Approach to Advanced Competency Within the Russian Language
David Joseph, Dr. Tony Brown and Dr. Yekaterina Jordan, Department of German and Russian Introduction Originally, this project aimed to increase Russian language fluency in the legal domain by developing an advanced-level course titled “Russian for Professional Purposes.” As progress in course development proceeded, it was moved into conceptualizing the project as a whole and then […]
Remote Sensing Approaches To Improve Water and Nitrogen Management of Kentucky Bluegrass (Poa Pratensis)
Austin Hopkins and Dr. Neil C. Hansen, Plant & Wildlife Sciences This project identifies remote sensing practices to conserve water by optimizing nitrogen (N) fertilization and irrigation strategies. Turfgrass is the most irrigated crop by area (163,800 km2 ), accounting for 1.9% of the continental U.S. This causes negative environmental impacts and puts the future […]
Body Knows, Spirit Dances: Somatic approaches in cross cultural dance exchange
Lauren Evans and Marin Roper, Dance In June 2018, I accompanied three other undergraduate Dance major students and my mentor to Bangalore, India where we observed, trained with and learned choreography from five Indian dance artists over a two-week period to learn and teach autobiographical solos reflecting a personal ‘search for the sacred.’ Another student […]
Investigating the Impact of Recreation-at-Work: A Case Study Approach
Mat D. Duerden and Mark A. Widmer Evaluation of How Well the Academic Objectives of the Proposal Were Met Targeted Academic Objectives Our proposal described the following targeted objectives for this project: Students involved in the project will gain a rich exposure to case study research skills by learning to conduct field observations, take field […]
Approaching Arabic Automatic Speech Recognition with Usage
James Longstaff and Deryle Lonsdale, Linguistics Introduction and Purpose The purpose of this project is to improve Arabic automatic speech recognition (ASR) by distinguishing between different dialects with the use of machine learning. Machine learning is the teaching of computers to recognize and distinguish between categories by themselves. Machine learning works off of statistical and […]
Beyond Phase Transitions: an Algorithmic Approach to Flocking Behavior
Garett Brown and Dr. Manuel Berrondo, Department of Physics and Astronomy Introduction The complexity and pattern found in animal aggregations, such as starling murmurations, reveals emergent phenomena which arise from the simple, individual interactions of its members. Whether the animal aggregation is the result of a group of birds, a group of fish, or a […]
HiPS Turbulent Flow Modeling for High Schmidt Number Flow A Novel Approach to an Old Problem
Joshua Frei and Dr. David Lignell, Chemical Engineering Department The whorls and vortices of smoke plumes, churning waterfalls, and crashing waves have a captivating sense of mystery about them. This chaotic, seemingly random fluid motion is known as turbulent flow, and it is ubiquitous both in day-to-day life and in engineering problems. Despite the many […]
The Herculaneum Papyri: A Paleographic Approach to the Latin Library
Jordan Rawlings and Faculty Mentor: Roger Macfarlane, Department of Comparative Arts and Letters In the 1750’s AD, military engineers commissioned by the Bourbon rulers found many black, chalky chunks while excavating an underground Roman villa. Initially these lumps were thought to be coal or other detritus and were thus handled with little care. Later, some […]
