Richard Vanfleet, Physics and Astronomy This Mentored Environment Grant (MEG) proposed to explore Carbon Nanotube Templated Microfabrication (CNT-M) approaches that used metal as the infiltration material. We proposed to focus on two specific metal systems; traditionally electrodeposited metals such as nickel and high atomic number metals like tungsten which in many cases cannot be electroplated. […]

Increasing Student Innovation: A Collaborative, Cross-discipline Approach
Paul Skaggs, Industrial Design The objective of this grant was to strengthen student and faculty understanding and use of innovation. To accomplish this objective this project focused on the development, teaching, and assessment of innovation curriculum. The following is a report on how the project went. Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the […]
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 […]
Successful Choral Rehearsal Strategies: A Systematic Approach
Christopher Machado and Dr. Ronald Staheli, School of Music The collection of choral rehearsal strategies used in the choirs at BYU has been an enlightening project. I have discovered and documented many effective pedagogical tools, methods, buzzwords, imageries, and vocalises. New possibilities for the project have opened up as well, which will allow me to […]
A Multi-Faceted Approach to Improving ADAMTS13 Deficiency Prediction Algorithm
Steven Nevers, David Brandt, and Matthew Biggs 1 Abstract Despite previous work by our group and other researchers, the existing methods to predict ADAMTS13 deficiency are inadequate. Through the use of machine learning techniques applied to mined patient data we have improved the accuracy and efficiency of our existing ADAMTS13 deficiency prediction algorithm. In conjunction […]
KNOWING KNOBE: A LINGUISTIC APPROACH
Justin Stark People encounter and make decisions constantly. Trivially, we may need to decide which color blue better matches our eyes or, significantly, we may be asked to make a decision as participants in a jury, a decision that could affect the rest of someone’s life. Some of the more important and influential decisions we […]
Proteomics Approach to Solving Alzheimer’s Disease
Ryan Egbert and Dr. John Kauwe, Biology Department Our project has gone according to plan, with a few small modifications along the way. Initially, we had proposed to incorporate gender profiling in attempt to understand the differences in serum proteomics profiles in men and women. Due to the difficulties in carrying out this aspect of […]
COMBINATORIAL APPROACH TO COMPUTATION OF JONES POLYNOMIAL OF A TORUS LINK
N. Nemirovskaya, Department of Mathematics First of all I would like to thank the Office of Research and Creative Activities for choosing me as one of the recipients of the Research and Creative Activities scholarship. This scholarship allowed me to spend more time working on the proposed project. This project is devoted to the computation […]
Synthesis of Systematically Varied Nucleosides as a Logical Approach Toward Inhibitor Design for Nucleoside Transport Proteins
Lars P.C. Nielsen and Dr. Morris J. Robins, Chemistry and Biochemistry Glucose transporter proteins constitute one class of transmembrane integral proteins that have received much attention in the current chemical literature. Many prominent groups have set out to explore their mechanisms, kinetics, and active sites. Studies have focussed on one of these in particular, Human […]
A Molecular Approach to Answering an Anthropological Question Concerning Burial Customs in an Ancient Egypt Population
Jamey Tolman and Dr. Scott Woodward, Microbiology Recent advances in DNA sequencing technology have allowed us to gain knowledge about the ancient populations of the world. A team of BYU students and faculty has excavated a group of bodies, dating from 200 B.C. to 400 A.D., found in the Fag El Gamous cemetery in Egypt. […]
