William Findlay and Harrison Powley with Dr. Steven Johnson, School of Music CLEF, a computer based test delivery system, makes possible creating and administering music listening tests on the Macintosh platform. The software I created aims to provide both teachers and students with a useful tool for the study of music history. Music history courses typically require […]

Computer Modeling and Mapping of Ultrasound Intensity in Human Tissues for Gene and Drug Delivery
Spencer Smith and Dr. William Pitt, Chemical Engineering Introduction and Purpose Over the past years ultrasound has been used extensively in medical treatments. It is now being developed and tested in localized drug and gene delivery. One of the main applications for drug delivery is treating cancer. The first step in this process is to […]
Computer-Aided Fraud Detection
Reed Olsen and Dr. Conan C. Albrecht, Information Systems “Albert Miano, a manger at Reader’s Digest responsible for processing bills from painters and carpenters, embezzled $1 million over a 5-year period. Miano forged the signatures of a superior on an invoice for services never performed and submitted it to accounts payable. He forged the endorsement […]
GedTools Computerized Chinese Genealogy Entry Automation
Nicholas Vrvilo and Dr. Dah-Jye Lee, Electrical and Computer Engineering Doing family history in Chinese has many unique challenges. The Chinese writing system is not readable by the average person, which means only the small number of individuals who both hold temple recommends and are familiar with Chinese characters would be able to perform all […]
Modeling Life Expectancy Using Weibull Results Computer Simulation
Scott Morris and Dr. Scott Grimshaw, Statistics Introduction The purpose of our project was to model a person’s life expectancy using lifetimes from their ancestry. Typical mortality models are based on data from large populations, and are not necessarily representative of a specific individual. Our primary objective was to model my personal life expectancy based […]
USING GENETIC ALGORITHMS TO HARMONIZE A MELODY: AN APPLICATION IN COMPUTER MUSIC
Weston Cann and Dr. David Michael Cottle, Mathematics Currently, there is a wide variety of computer applications available for aiding musicians. Most common are applications whose purpose is to help render the performance of a piece (sequencers) or help the user prepare the score of a piece. Less common are applications designed to aid the […]
ANALYSIS OF A COMPLIANT CENTRIFUGAL CLUTCH USING COMPUTERAIDED ENGINEERING TOOLS
James D. Baker and Dr. Larry L. Howell, Mechanical Engineering Contemporary engineering has received the benefits of computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools that automate and simplify the design of mechanical systems. However, such tools do not provide direct support for the specific field of compliant mechanisms, whose behavior can require difficult techniques for design and synthesis. […]
Determining Homology of Turkey Round Heart Disease Marker Sequences: A Computer-Based Study
Ryan D. McAllister and Dr. David Kooyman, Animal Science Round heart disease (RHD) is a spontaneous occurring cardiomyopathy in turkeys. The domestic turkey Meleagris gallopavo is affected by low body weight and premature death due to congestive heart failure from RHD (1). RHD results in decreased profitability for the animal agriculturists and higher prices for […]
Programming Literacy Needs to be a Core Content Standard: A Case Study of Teaching 7th and 8th Grade Students Computer Programming
Dr. Geoffrey Wright, School of Technology Just as typing has replaced calligraphy and hand-writing as the most common form of written language, programming is ready to replace many domains of the English language. Regardless of whether you perceive this, as negative or positive, programming is how many students are communicating. In a recent study (paper) […]
Increasing the Accuracy of Molecular Biomarkers via Evidence-based Algorithm Selection
Stephen R. Piccolo, Biology This is a final report for a Mentoring Environment Grant that Brigham Young University awarded to me in 2016. Below is a summary of the project that this grant enabled students in my research lab to perform, as well as information about how the funds were used. Research Project In making […]
