Scott A. Witt and Dr. Kim L. O’Neill, Microbiology The human body has an automatic system for eliminating unwanted cells. When it is time for a cell to be removed, it is given a signal to divide up its parts into discrete packages and send them to other cells to be recycled. The cell eventually […]

Remote Control And Web-Access Of The Mitutoyo Coordinate Measuring Machine
Cun Ling Linda Chu and Dr. C. Greg Jensen, Mechanical Engineering Overview The goal of this project was to devise a way to remotely control a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) so students could measure an engineering product wherever they have access to a computer. The project began as a semester assignment for Dr. Jensen’s ME […]
FUZZY LOGIC CONTROL OF AN INVERTED PENDULUM
Sean Lynn McKell, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Overview A little-known phenomenon recently explored by a few engineers seems, to some, to be a little out of focus. This phenomenon, dubbed “fuzzy logic” by its inventor, Lotfi A. Zadeh, is an oxymoron to mostit connotes something ethereal and misplaced in a field such as […]
MAPPING OF THE IMMUNE RESPONSE GENE(S) CONTROLLING SUSCEPTIBILITY TO MURINE EXPERIMENTAL ORCHITIS
Randall Roper, Microbiology Microbiology The research project I proposed entailed mapping the gene or genes that control susceptibility to Murine Experimental Orchitis by using a large backcross population of 110 animals. These animals have been generated by obtaining an Fl population from the susceptible SJL mice and resistant B lO.S mice and crossing the susceptible […]
Using a Reinforcement Learning Controller to Overcome Simulator/Environment Discrepancies
Nancy Owens and Professor Todd Peterson, Computer Science Robotic controllers often fail to perform well when transferred from a simulated environment to a real-world situation. Such failures are caused by discrepancies between a simulator and the real-world system which it is intended to model. Traditional approaches to this problem attempt to reduce the number and severity […]
Identification of The Regulatory Elements Responsible For The Control of PremRna Splicing of Intron-1 in Chicken Cox-2
Daniel L. Simmons and Dr. Orlan Kenneth Macdonald, Chemistry and Biochemistry In order to create a unique clone of chicken COX-2 it was necessary to insert a synthetic DNA tag into the full-length version of the COX-2 cDNA. First, a 21-nucleotide oligo and its complement were produced using a DNA synthesizer. The oligos were purified, […]
Bax Over-expression Coupled With Bcl-2 Suppression Under The Control of The Cancer-specific Thymidine Kinase Promoter
Brian H. Ladle and Dr. Kim L. O’Neill, Microbiology As researchers continue to discover the molecular origins of cancer, gene therapy targeting cellular processes gone awry shows great promise as the future in cancer treatment. Extensive research is being done to develop more effective techniques targeting different cellular events. One pathway receiving increased attention is […]
The Development of an Active Noise Control System for a Small Axial Fan
Kent L. Gee and Dr. Scott D. Sommerfeldt, Physics and Astronomy Axial cooling fans used in computers, projectors, and printers often contribute significantly to background noise levels in both the workplace and classroom because of the distinct and often annoying tones they produce. These tones are principally caused by spatially unsteady flow through the fan, […]
Electronic Control of the Photocycloaddition of Silyl Tethered Alkenes
Kari Cowdell and Dr. Steven A. Fleming, Chemistry and Biochemistry Solar energy is a major reason for the study of photochemistry. Photochemistry is the investigation of the interaction of organic compounds with light. The ability of plants and bacteria to harness the sun’s energy is an example of photochemistry. One area of photochemical research is […]
Economic Self-Control and Impulsivity in Money Decisions: A Comparison of High School Students with Rural or Urban Backgrounds
Becky Malquist and Dr. Harold L. Miller Jr., Psychology Do you buy the brand new car now and take out a large loan, or do you save a little longer and buy a used one so that, in the end, you pay less? Do you take the spur-of-the-moment Caribbean cruise, or do you stick to […]
