Tim G. Lovell and Dr. Robert Jackson, School of Accountancy and Information Systems Trade schools owned and operated by members of the church and organized for the intent to train return missionaries are becoming increasingly common in developing countries. One such school Fundet, located in Guatemala, boasts a student body representative of all Central America. […]

THE DNA MOLECULE: A 3D COMPUTER ANIMATION
Thomas Wheeler and Professor Brent Adams, Visual Arts The project I have completed, with the help of the ORCA scholarship, as my BFA project for Illustration includes a 25 page research paper and a 1 minute 30 second computer animated film called Revealing DNA. Research for the project began in February 1997, and the entire […]
The Possibility of Computer Modeling Language Change
Jonathan McCollum and Dr. David Bowie, Linguistics Language is an ever changing method of communication. Linguists, in their systematic studies of languages, attempt to explain the changes that modify and sometimes eliminate languages altogether. Much research has been employed to discover the methods that keep language continually evolving. Mary S. MacKeracher, at the University of […]
Evaluating Network Phylogenetic Reconstruction Methods Using Computer Simulations
Steven Woolley and Dr Keith Crandall, Integrative Biology In my quest to evaluate the efficiency and accuracy of currently used phylogenetic network reconstruction methods, I have learned several valuable lessons applicable to nearly any research endeavor. I have successfully elucidated some of the conditions that affect the accuracy of two popular software programs for intraspecific […]
Computer Simulated Multi-Component Aerosol Thermodynamics and Chemistry
Eric Halpenny and Dr. Larry Baxter, Chemical Engineering Aerosols are small (sub-micron) particles formed mainly in combustion processes by the vaporization and subsequent re-condensation of volatile, inorganic compounds. Cloud formation is an example of an aerosol process. However, unlike clouds, most aerosol-generating processes produce negative effects on both the process that forms them and the […]
Computer Aided Complex Analysis
Jared Whitehead and Adam Rich with Dr. Michael Dorff, Mathematics Department Complex analysis is a fundamental course in mathematics required by some engineering and physical science disciplines. Since complex numbers are two dimensional – they have a real and imaginary part – visualizing their graphs, a very important part of practical and theoretical analysis, can […]
Using the BYU Supercomputer to Simulate Analogs of the Anti-cancer Drug Geldanamycin
Joshua Proulx and Dr. Merritt Andrus, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry For my project I simulated the binding of geldanamycin in the ATP binding site of Heat shock protein-90 to assist Merritt Andrus’s research in designing a better anti-cancer drug. Hsp-90 is a protein found in the cells of many organisms including humans. It functions […]
GeneWorkshop: A Dynamic, Developing Environment for Biologists, Computer Scientists, and Bioinformaticians
Joshua Sailsbery and Dr. David McClellan, Integrative Biology The GeneWorkshop project had one goal, to enable biologists to better utilize bioinformatic tools. Generally, bioinformatic tools have a large learning curve and are not very robust as to the data they accept. In order to meet these criteria, GeneWorkshop was separated into two main objectives. The […]
A COMPUTER ANALYSIS OF THREE NOVELS BY GALDÓS
Erik Lewis and Dr. Dale J. Pratt, Spanish and Portuguese This report is designed to chronicle my experiences while performing my research and to explain the subsequent conclusions that I have made. In its inception, this project was to cover three novels by Benito Pérez Galdós, Spain’s most prolific author. However, after consulting with Dr. […]
Using Computer Simulation to Overcome Shortcomings in Laboratory Relative Density Tests for Soils
Amy L. Crook and Dr. Travis Gerber, Civil and Environmental Engineering Introduction An important soil parameter in geotechnical engineering is relative density. Relative density is a measure of the compactness of a cohesionless soil when compared to the loosest and densest state of the soil. Three separate parameters are needed to calculate relative density: maximum […]
