Michael Jones, Department of Computer Science As computer systems become an integral part of society, ensuring that systems perform correctly will become more important. Proofs of correctness based on formal logic are one approach to the correctness problem in computer system design. Unfortunately, these proofs are often large and difficult for industrial size projects. The […]

A COMPUTER-BASED ESTIMATION OF CEREBRAL CORTICAL SURFACE AREA
Marc A. Steed, Psychology The surface area of the cerebral cortex (Cc-sa) was first measured in 1864. Since that time various methods have been applied, always post mortem. This project is the first to estimate Cc-sa from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRl) scans ante mortem. I have faced several challenges in my project. My proposal stated […]
THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENTIFICALLY BASED CONDITIONING PROGRAMS
Bristol Sorensen, Health Sciences First of all I would like to thank you once again for choosing me as one of the recipients of the Office of Research and Creative Work Scholarship. The money I received from that scholarship helped tremendously in conducting research for my project over the past semester and I have some […]
Preliminary Phylogeneic Analyses of the Erotylidae (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea: Erotylidae) based on Molecular Data
James A. Robertson and Dr. Michael F. Whiting, Zoology The Cucujoidea, a very diverse beetle superfamily, includes mycophagous and wood consuming beetles. Within the Cucujoidea is the family Erotylidae (pleasing fungus beetles). The Erotylidae includes 125 genera and approximately 2,500 species, and has a worldwide distribution. Erotylids are known for their striking coloration, including black […]
The Influence of Migraine Pain and Analgesic Effects of Pharmaceuticals in Visual Field Serial to Parallel Processing, based upon the P300 Event Related Potential and Reaction Time.
Benjamin C Ringger and Dr. Donovan Fleming, Psychology and Neuroscience The p300 event related potential is a particular wave of the measured electrical activity of the brain. This wave may be evoked by a visual stimulus presented to the subject and occurs approximately 300 msec. following presentation of the stimulus. In previous studies, it has […]
Deactivation of V2O5-based Catalysts Used in the Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx
Aaron Nackos and Dr. Calvin H. Bartholomew, Chemical Engineering Nitric oxides (NO and NO2, or NOx for short) are significant contributors to photochemical smog and acid rain and are mainly produced from automobile emissions and from coal combustion used to generate electric power. Because of these issues, the EPA will require by the year 2004 […]
Computer Simulation of Microstructures Based on Two-point Correlation Functions
Benjamin L. Hansen and Dr. Brent Adams, Mechanical Engineering A great amount of variance exists in the properties of any material. The ability to accurately predict these properties allows for designers to find the “best” material in highly constrained design situations. Many properties, such as elasticity and conductivity, are relatively insensitive to grain boundary interfaces […]
Use of a Gradient-based Search Method to Reconstruct the Temperature Profile along an Optical Fiber Thermometer
David G. Barker and Dr. Matthew R. Jones, Mechanical Engineering Advances in the area of Optical Fiber Thermometry (OFT) are leading to more accurate temperature measurements in high-temperature environments. A typical OFT application is when the tip of an optical fiber is inserted into an environment where the temperature is to be measured. The other […]
Progress Report on a Web-based Index of Merrill Bradshaw’s Compositions
Daniel Bradshaw and Professor Murray Boren, Music; David Day, Music Librarian and Curator of Music Special Collections As indicated by the title of this report, the index of Merrill Bradshaw’s compositions is still in the making. Although I expected this project to expand as I entered into the details of finding, collecting and indexing all […]
Background Color Selection Based on Color Information from User Images: Making It Easier to Be Right and Scientific for Web Page Designers
Qing Xia and Dr. Brian Morse, Computer Science Department The original idea for this project was conceived at the Center for Instructional Design (CID) at Brigham Young University. CID suggested a need to develop software tools for dynamically selecting a good background color for a web page design, given an image to be placed on […]
