Dedra A. Cutler and Dr. Kim L. O’Neill, Zoology Thymidine Kinase 1 (TK1) is an enzyme involved in DNA repair and cell proliferation. Increased cell proliferation results in higher than normal levels of TK1. Because of this relationship, TK1 has recently been identified as a useful marker in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. My current […]

REEL DICTATORSHIPS: A COMPARISON OF CINEMATIC PORTRAYALS OF THE FRANCO AND PINOCHET REGIMES
Patrick J. Thurston and Dr. Dale J. Pratt, History Notwithstanding its emphasis on entertainment, film is a highly political art. All movies, even those intended as entertainment, directly or indirectly transmit messages about politics and society. While the majority of motion pictures reinforce the socio-political status quo, various others powerfully protest perceived political injustice, oppression […]
A comparison of lexical borrowings into Finnish from Swedish and Russian
Esko Timi Petteri Felin and Dr. Laura Catherine Smith, Germanic and Slavic Languages The research for this project was initially conducted under the assumption that Finnish lexical borrowings from Swedish would considerably differ from its Russian counterparts. However, as more data was collected from various semantic fields, it became evident that the borrowings presented general […]
GENETIC COMPARISON OF BEAR LAKE CUTTHROAT (ONCORHYNCHUS CLARKI UTAH), YELLOWSTONE CUTTHROAT (ONCORHYNCHUS CLARKI BOUVERI), AND BONNEVILLE CUTTHROAT (ONCORHYNCHUS CLARKI UTAH)
Jared Tadje and Professor R. Paul Evans, Zoology Geologic evidence indicates that there was a volcano about 30,000 years ago in Southern Idaho. Before the volcano, Bear Lake was connected to the Snake River, but lava flow from this volcano separated them. Currently, a river connects Bear Lake to the Lake Bonneville region surrounding the Great […]
CULTURE AND SEX DIFFERENCES IN THE LDS POPULATION: A COMPARISON OF RUSSIAN AND AMERICAN ATTITUDES TOWARD SEXUAL BEHAVIOR
Oxana Palesh and Dr. Michael B. Ehlert, Psychology Recent work on female and male attitudes toward sexual behavior indicate that the sexes view sexual activity differently. Buss reported that females feel greater concern about a partner’s emotional commitment, whereas males show greater concern toward a partner’s sexual commitment. Clark and Hatfield reported 1 that when […]
Comparison of Companies Issuing Pro-forma Earnings and Restatements
Robert Jenson and Dr. Ted Christensen, School of Accountancy Introduction In recent years, companies have increasingly released financial performance numbers in addition to those required under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These adjusted, or pro-forma earnings, have been a way for management to report earnings without extraordinary, one-time, or other items. Previous research suggests that […]
Are Morphology and Performance Predation-related? Swimming Speed and Ontological Shape Comparisons between Populations of a Live-bearing Fish
Elizabeth Hassell and Dr. Mark Belk, Department of Biology I used my ORCA grant for my honors thesis in biology, which has been a great success. The results are not yet complete because the depth of this project goes beyond the one-year time frame of a typical ORCA project; however, our planned schedule is still […]
Iron Impregnated Elemental Sulfur Application to Kentucky Bluegrass: Comparison of Standard Fertilizer Methods
Ryan Christensen and Dr. Bryan G. Hopkins, Plant and Wildlife Science Landscape managers spend substantial resource, both time and money, maintaining aesthetically pleasing landscapes. In addition, athletic events conducted on natural grass playing surfaces are dependent upon having a healthy turfgrass that provide both cushioning and footing stability. Poor field conditions can lead to career […]
Altitudinal and Seasonal Comparison of Insects in the Riparian Corridor of the American Fork Canyon, Utah
Elizabeth J. Bankhead and Dr. C. Riley Nelson, Biology A hot topic in ecology right now is the Mid-Domain Effect (MDE) as presented by Robert K. Colwell (2001). This null model states that the greatest species diversity along an elevation gradient will be found at the incline’s mid-point, if no other environmental gradients interfere. Another […]
Apgar Scores and Oxygenation Levels: A Comparison of Vaginal and Cesarean Section Modes of Delivery
Allison Holt and Dr. Patricia Ravert, Nursing Abstract Purpose Compare Apgar scores and oxygenation levels of well infants born by Cesarean section (c-section) to those delivered vaginally. Design After parental consent, SpO2 levels were measured and Apgar scores and demographic data were collected from charts. Measures of central tendency were determined and means were compared […]
