Craig Przybyla and Dr. Brent Adams, Mechanical Engineering As advances in engineering and technology increasingly require engineers and scientists to work in smaller length scales, they must have a greater understanding about how materials and their properties behave at these scales. This is true particularly in the field of mechanical engineering with the development of […]

A Comparison of the Phylogeny and Drumming Characteristics in Isogenoides
Christian James Hoybjerg and Dr. Michael F. Whiting, Integrative Biology Introduction Isogenoides is a genus of Plecoptera (stoneflies) from the family Perlodidae. The genus is composed of seven separate species and is endemic to North America. Each species has a limited distribution and a distinct system of courtship behavior. The male taps his abdomen on […]
Functional Comparisons of LTA and TNF-a Gene Protein
Raymond Grams II and Dr. David McClellan Mentor’s Department: Integrative Biology TNF- is a cytokine released by activated macrophages and lymphotoxin alpha (LTA) is a cytokine released by activated lymphocytes. Both proteins act as modulators of the immune response and competitively bind to the same protein receptors TNFR-1 and TNFR-2. The protein sequences themselves are […]
Comparison of Microbial Community Biodiversity between Pristine and Disturbed Sediments in Timpanogos Cave, National Monument
Andre Bennin and Dr. Keith A. Crandall, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Cave microbiology has been of great interest to microbial ecologists in recent years because it has enabled them to assess microbial diversity within an isolated system. An excellent example of subterranean microbial life is found in Lechuguilla Cave Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico,where […]
Virulence of Entomopathogenic Nematodes to the Citrus Root Weevil: A Comparison between Indigenous and Commercially produced Nematodes
Douglas Adolphson and Dr. Byron Adams, Biology and Agriculture The citrus root weevil is a major pest of citrus crops in Florida and the Caribbean. Currently, entomopathogenic nematodes are being used as an insecticide against the weevil. The nematodes carry bacteria inside of them as they enter the weevil. Once inside, they release the bacteria […]
Lichen Flora of Boulder Mountain, Aquarius Plateau, Wayne County, Utah USA: An altitudinal comparison of lichen communities
Steven Leavitt and Dr. Larry St.Clair, Integrative Biology Lichen ecology is a facet of biology that remains relatively unexplored in many parts of the United States. Lichens can play an important role as indicators of local environmental conditions, as lichen species density and community structure are significantly affected by airborne contaminants and other anthropogenic influences. […]
Heart Rate Response under Induced Stress: A Comparison of Individuals with High and Low Ruminative Tendencies
Douglas Marchant and Dr. Claudia Clayton, Psychology Rumination can be defined as persistent, recyclic thinking (Rippere, 1977). There are characteristic differences between normal rumination, which is simply recyclic thinking, and depressive rumination, which is characterized by recyclic thoughts focused on one’s depressive symptoms and the ramifications of those symptoms (Nolen-Hoeksema, 1991). Therefore, depressive rumination is […]
ISAIAH IN THE BOOK OF MORMON AND OLD TESTAMENT: A COMPARISON IN LANGUAGE USAGE
John Larsen and Dr. Allen Manning, Linguistics Project The similarities between the Bible and the Book of Mormon have often been pointed out by Scholars and critics alike. My research was to compare language similarities in the two texts linguistically. For twelve chapters in the Book of Mormon the text runs almost exactly parallel to […]
A Comparison of Growth Rates in Premature Infants in Tucamàn, Argentina and the United States: A Secondary Data Analysis
Emily Sears and Professor Joann Abegglen, College of Nursing Extrauterine growth, or growth outside the womb following birth, is a serious challenge and concern in premature neonates. Preterm infants have low birth weights simply because they have not reached full growth and development at the time of birth. In addition to prematurity itself, preterm infants can […]
Comparison of Earnings Adjustments made by Management and Financial Analysts
Dirk Black and Dr. Ted Christensen, School of Accountancy Pro forma reporting has received significant attention from managers, regulators, and researchers in recent years. Pro forma reporting occurs when managers adjust earnings for certain “one-time” items allegedly to present earnings that are more representative of the “core” operations of their firms. In addition, analysts make […]
