D. Karl Bedke Asymmetric glycolate alkylation plays a key role in the synthesis of complex biologically active compounds. Such asymmetric transformations have largely to date been accomplished by employing chiral auxiliaries which have shown remarkable success in asymmetric synthesis. However, auxiliaries must also be used in stoichiometric amounts and can become quite expensive. A catalytic […]

TWO APPROACHES TO THE INCLUSION OF JAZZ IN THE WESTERN EUROPEAN MUSICAL TRADITION
Spencer L. Layton and Dr. Stephan D. Lindeman, Music At the beginning of the twentieth century, the sounds that emerged from Europe differed greatly from the music produced in Africa and the Far East. Many composers of this time were trained in the musical traditions and theory of Western Europe. When they came to America, […]
An Interdisciplinary Approach to Choreography Combining Live Music and Traditional Ballroom Dances
Rebecca Laws and Professor Curt Holman, Dance The ability to choreograph is one of the most important skills a dancer can possess, particularly when preparing to be a teacher. This semester, I focused on choreography within the Ballroom Dance Genre to further develop my skills. I choreographed three different styles, the American Smooth Tango, Foxtrot and […]
Securing Engineering for the Future: An Inquiry-base Approach to Teaching Engineering in Grades 6-12
Ryan Anderson and Dr. Jared Berrett, School of Technology The basis behind inquiry-based learning is that questions are being asked and answers are being found. On that same note problems are being presented and solutions are being discovered. Inquiry-based learning and instruction allows for personal growth and choice in education on the part of the […]
A Trojan horse approach to cancer treatment: A2DA and A2NOON as Potential Triggered and Targeting Chemotherapeutic Drugs
Jeremy Koontz and Dr. Heidi Vollmer-Snarr, Chemistry and Biochemistry Despite the enormous amounts of time and money spent to research effective cures for cancer—the second leading cause of death in the United States —little is known today about how to kill cancer cells without harming normal cells. Current traditional forms of cancer treatment are chemotherapy, […]
An Adaptive Bayesian Approach to Dose-Response Modeling
Thomas J. Leininger and Dr. C. Shane Reese, Statistics The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for testing and screening clinical drugs before market entry. The screening process involves different phases which determine a drug’s potency, recommended dosage, and potential side effects. Current statistical designs used to model the efficacy of a drug at varying […]
Investigation of the Effects of Intraosseous Pressure Rise in the Formation of Spinal Burst Fractures: A Biphasic Material Approach
Spencer Shore and Dr. Anton Bowden Introduction Burst fractures are high-speed spine injuries caused by rapid axial compression of the vertebrae. The traditional explanation for the burst fracture mechanism points to an intraosseous pressure rise due to the entrance of the intervertebral disc through a fractured endplate. Recent experiments [1], however, indicate an actual decrease […]
A Model Approach to Early Intervention and Integration into University Life
Elizabeth Thackeray and Dr. Stefinee Pinnegar, Teacher Education Background Early intervention is often the key to freshman student success; however, it is often hard to uncover freshman students’ problems and difficulties until it is too late to help them adjust time schedules, develop stronger study habits, or create more balanced life-styles (DeBerard 66). The tool […]
INNOVATIVE GIS APPROACH FOR ASSESSING JUNIPER EXPANSION
Daniel L. Zvirzdin and Dr. Steven Petersen, Plant and Wildlife sciences Introduction Since European settlement piñon (Pinus) and juniper (Juniperus) (PJ) woodlands have expanded their range to more than 40 million hectares; this expansion constitutes one of the greatest afforestations of our time and is due to many factors including high intensity grazing, fire suppression, […]
Meloidogyne Phylogeny: A Supertree Approach
Camille Finlinson Porter and Dr. Byron Adams, Biology Meloidogyne nematodes are agricultural pests that cause approximately 5% of global crop loss each year. In order to develop more effective control strategies, a clearer image of how the many species of Meloidogyne are related is needed. A phylogenetic tree is a hypothesis of the relationship between […]
