Logan Thorneloe and Neal Bangerter, Electrical and Computer Engineering Introduction Muscle functional magnetic resonance imaging (mfMRI) is a proven concept to non-invasively identify muscle activation1. Noninvasively identifying muscle activation can be used to diagnose metabolic muscle disease, identify and pinpoint muscular dysfunction, observe muscle deterioration in aging individuals, and help researchers better understand the biological […]

Far more important, however, is the psychological toll on individuals who experiences sexual harassment. Organizations function most effectively when people of all levels of the organization feel physically and emotionally […]
Preservation of Oncorhynchus clarkii by Comparison of Biomarkers
Chase Paulson and Dr. R. Paul Evans- Microbiology and Molecular Biology Project Purpose The purpose of this project is to analyze biomarkers present in cutthroat and cutbow (a mixture of cutthroat and rainbow trout) trout of the Payson Hatchery compared to typical cutthroat and rainbow markers to better understand if cutthroat trout are being preserved […]
Utilizing the Power of Graphical Processing for DNA Mapping: a Comparison of GNUMAP and BarraCUDA
Lyman, Cole Utilizing the Power of Graphical Processing for DNA Mapping: a Comparison of GNUMAP and BarraCUDA Faculty Mentor: Mark Clement, Department of Computer Science Introduction Recent advances in genome sequencing technologies have resulted in a large increase in the amount of genetic data available. Large Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have the potential to […]
Design and Comparison of Variable-Stiffness Compliant Joints for Haptic Devices
David Usevitch and Faculty Mentor: Mark Colton, Mechanical Engineering Introduction Haptic interfaces or devices are computercontrolled robotic systems that seek to replicate the touch experience of a human user1. The purpose of this research is to develop a viable variable-stiffness compliant joint for haptic interfaces that eliminate rotation joints or screw mechanisms that induce friction, […]
Petrologic Comparison of the Beaver Dam and Mineral Mountains Metamorphic Complexes
By Scott Zylstra and Jake Voorhees; Dr. Ron Harris, Mentor, Department of Geological Sciences Introduction Utah’s rocks, though incredibly complete in later eons, hold very little information about what was occurring in that area before 700 million years ago. In Southern Utah, only two relatively small exposures of these ancient Precambrian exist, in the west […]
Quantile Treatment Effects with Endogeneity: A Monte Carlo Comparison of 3 Quantile IV Estimators
Alexander Poulsen and Brigham Frandsen, Economics Introduction Quantile instrumental variables estimators are a relatively new development in the econometric literature. Modern quantile regression was introduced in Koenker and Basset (1978), and has been used in many important applications in which researchers are interested in learning about the effects of variables on the distribution of an […]
Race Differences in Perceptions of School Safety: A comparison of Hispanics & Whites
Paul Andrew Bauman and Child Curtis, Sociology Scholars are interested in how parents think about schools. Yet so far they give only limited attention to the role that race plays in shaping parents’ views. Our research addresses this shortcoming by focusing on two race groups – whites and Hispanics – in order to determine how […]
Comparison of Language Gains Across Classroom, Foreign Language Housing, and Study Abroad Environments
Kari Tanner and Dr. Jeffrey Turley, Spanish Department When it comes to learning a foreign language, study abroad contexts have generally been assumed to produce the best results. However, with rising program costs it becomes necessary to evaluate alternate options as well. The three main language learning contexts are classroom, foreign language housing (domestic immersion) […]
