Jonathan Osborne and Dr. Michael Whiting, Integrative Biology A prior analysis of the families of Ephemerelloidea, based on 49 morphological characters, supported Ephemerellidae diverging basal to all other Ephemerelloid families (McCafferty and Wang, 2000). The family Ephemerellidae contains twenty genera in two subfamilies (McCafferty and Wang, 2000) and comprises the largest family among the pannote […]

Streamline-Based Novel Dynamic Grid Reservoir Simulation
Bradley C. Bundy and Dr. Larry Lin Baxter / Hugh Bradley Hales, Chemical Engineering Oil is one of the most important commodities we have. It provides energy, transportation, and chemicals to provide a better life for mankind. However, it is a depleting recourse that is getting harder and harder to find and recover. Simulation techniques […]
Do Inquiry, Constructivist based Biology Laboratories Affect the Confidence and Attitude of Preservice Elementary Education Teachers toward Teaching Science in their Classrooms?
Heddie L. Richards and Dr. Larry St. Clair, Integrative Biology Integrative Biology 101 is an optional course for preservice elementary education students to improve their science teaching skills. The format of the course allows each student the option to teach a science lesson and participate in a lab directed by the teacher’s assistant (T.A). Each […]
A Mitochondrial Phylogenetic Analysis of Sculpin (genus Cottus) in Montana based on the NADH Dehydrogenase Subunit 4 Gene
Andrew Moffat and Professor R. Paul Evans, Micro and Molecular Biology Introduction: The purpose of this project was to investigate the distribution and phylogenetic status of Cottus (sculpins) species populations in Montana relative to other species in western North America using the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4 (ND4) gene in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). This study of the […]
Facilitating Effective Training Programs for Traditional Medical Practitioners in Ghana: Guidelines Based on Prior Successes and Current Attitudes
Amy Lamprecht and Dr. William C. Olsen, Anthropology The medical system extant in Ghana today is a complex one made up of many different health care delivery sectors. As is often the case wherever competing systems of medicine exist, the traditional and Western medical systems that participate in health care in Ghana are not effectively […]
Use of 2 MeV Proton-Based PIXE in Compositional Analysis of Paint Pigments
Benjamin Hall and Dr. Lawrence Rees, Physics And Astronomy Using the resources provided by this grant, Dr. Rees and I set out to classify the pigments used in artistic oil painting according to their elemental composition. This we did using proton-based Particle-Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) spectroscopy. Our goal in this portion of the research was […]
Content-Based Classification and Retrieval of Digital Images
Ethan Garofolo and Dr. William Barrett, Computer Science Purpose As digital image libraries continue to grow in size, classifying the content of such a large volume continues to grow in difficulty. At present, human users catalog images by giving descriptive filenames and/or labels in image header files, hoping that the given names will make sense […]
Philosophy of Science Considerations for the Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Controversy in Psychotherapy
Dennis Wendt and Dr. Brent D. Slife, Psychology The modern age is an age of evidence. A library search of “evidence-based” returns hundreds of entries: evidence-based auditing, social work, wound management, crime prevention, educational methods—the list goes on and on. Virtually any discipline or industry is receiving increased pressure to justify their methods and practices […]
The Effect of a Long-term Professional Development Course in Standards-based Mathematics on the Attitudes and Practices of Inservice Teachers
Destiny Turner and Dr. Candice Ridlon, Department of Mathematics Education In 2000, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) developed a set of principles and standards to guide mathematics teaching in grades K-12. These principles outline pedagogy that encourages students to discover and understand math on a conceptual level. These monumental standards are widely […]
VISUAL BASED REVERSE ENGINEERING
C. Porter Bassett and Dr. C. Greg Jensen, Mechanical Engineering Reverse engineering, or the process of taking an implemented idea and taking it back to the design stage, has many applications in many different types of engineering. One common application of reverse engineering is to take a manufactured part, measure its dimensions and shape, and […]
