High Level Gesture Control for UAVs
John Akagi, Brady Moon, Jared Paxton, and Dr. Cammy Peterson, Electrical and Computer Engineering Introduction The usage and application of small unmanned aircraft has grown in recent years, but training, and constant attention is often required for controlling an aircraft in even the simplest of tasks. Our research seeks to reduce the complexity in controlling […]
Making MRI Scans Quieter through Time-Reversal Acoustics and Active Noise Control
Trent Furlong and Brian Anderson, Physics Noise from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment puts patients at risk for hearing damage.i Active noise control (ANC) systems have been implemented inside the MRI’s bore to reduce perceived noise, but the equipment used cannot have magnetic material or the ANC system will interfere with the MRI machine’s imaging […]
Upregulation of humanized HPRT housekeeping gene in malignant tumors hinders use as an endogenous control
Abigail Felsted and Faculty Mentor: Kim O’Neill, Molecular Biology Our lab focuses on developing immunological techniques for diagnosing and treating cancer in a less invasive manner than current methods employ. New unique biomarkers are constantly needed to identify cancer in early stages in order to decrease mortality rates. When researching and publishing such biomarkers, many […]
Primed for Porn, Investigating the Nuanced Relationship Between Problematic Pornography Consumption and Impulse Control
Hook, Celeste Primed for Porn, Investigating the Nuanced Relationship Between Problematic Pornography Consumption and Impulse Control Faculty Mentor: Scott Braithwaite, PhD., Psychology Department Introduction As pornography becomes infinitely more accessible through the internet, the number of consumers increases at a rapid rate. Pornography abuse is shown to be a subcategory of hypersexuality (Grubbs, Volk, Exline, […]
Creation of Twelve Member Plasmid Library for Promoter Swapping to Control Chromosomal Gene Expression in E. Coli
Nielson, Chris Creation of Twelve Member Plasmid Library for Promoter Swapping to Control Chromosomal Gene Expression in E. Coli Mentor: William R. McCleary, Department of Microbiology and Molecular Biology Introduction Metabolic engineering is becoming a very important area of research, allowing researchers to harness metabolic pathways to either eliminate or synthesize desired compounds. Understanding metabolic […]
Bacteriophages as a Biocontrol agent of Soft Rot in Potatoes
Bacteriophages as a Biocontrol agent of Soft Rot in Potatoes Hodson, Trevor Faculty Mentor: Don Breakwell, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Introduction Pectobacterium carotovorum (Pcc) is a principle causative agent of soft rot in potatoes. It causes losses of up to 60% in potato yields in the USA (Mantsebo et. Al, 2014) and approximately $50-$100 million […]
Ego Depletion and Internal Controls: How Controls Can Deplete Self-control Resources
Drew Allen and David Wood, Accounting In order to ensure accurate financial reporting, deter fraud, and safeguard assets, companies implement internal controls throughout their organization. Internal controls can be something as simple as requiring a manager to sign off on all expenses or having two people present to handle and count cash receipts. Without these controls, companies […]
Discovery and Characterization of Bacteriophage to control MRSA
Jacob B. Hatch and Bradford Berges, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Introduction About 20% of humans are carriers of Staphylococcus aureus (SA). There were an estimated 11,000 deaths in the United States in 2005 attributed to SA, with the majority caused by MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) isolates [1]. Many MRSA isolates have developed resistance to […]
Cognitive Control and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Katherine Slinn and Faculty Mentor: Michael Larson, Psychology and Neuroscience Introduction This project was an in-depth statistical analysis of previously collected data in order to explore the hypothesis that obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is associated with a decrease in the ability to regulate behavior and to apply top-down cognitive control. OCD has been diagnosed in approximately […]
