Professional Responsibility and Professional Development in a Crowdsourcing Model of Legal Assistance
Kif Augustine-Adams and Ivan Meitus, Law School The MEG funds that I received supported student participation in pro bono legal assistance fieldwork at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, as well as student participation in an academic conference to present and discuss our research. The funds also supported teaching assistants who returned […]
Development of Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (q-PCR) Assays for the Detection and Identification of Drug-resistance Genes in Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)
Richard A. Robison, Ph.D., Microbiology and Molecular Biology I. The Specific aims for the project were as follows: Develop q-PCR assays for the various carbapenem-resistance genes, such as KPC, IMP, VIM, and NDM-1, and then multiplex them into single assays that can be used to quickly characterize an isolate. II. Accomplishments to date related to […]
The Development of Individualized Anemia Treatments Using Point of Care Diagnostics to Distinguish Anemia Caused by Infection or Chronic Inflammation
Dr. Richard Watt, Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry Evaluation of Academic Objectives. Background: Anemia that accompanies inflammation is associated with negative outcomes for patients. Early intervention to treat anemia is an important step in improving the quality of life for anemic patients. Our lab proposed to develop simple diagnostic tests using a Lateral Flow Immunoassays […]
Unseen, But in Plain Sight: Identifying Developmental Patterns of Females with Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder
Rebecca Lundwall Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met I will document the academic objectives met in terms of posters, presentations and papers. Posters Beck, J. S., Lundwall, R., Gabrielsen, T., Cox, J., Dixon, A., Spencer, M., Farmer, M., DeMordaunt, T., Peacock, L., Kamhout, S., Ekins, L., & South, M. […]
Could TK1 Suppress the Immune System and Promote Tumor Development?
Joshua Keller, Roman Kovtun, Kim O’Neill, Microbiology & Molecular Biology Cancer is a widespread disease that affects millions of people worldwide and in many cases is difficult to treat. In order to find new and better treatment, it is important to understand how this disease progresses. Thymidine Kinase 1 (TK1) is a recognized biomarker that is […]
Development and Application of Minimum Energy Crossing Point Software Suite for Organometallic Reactions
Lily Carlson and Dr. Daniel Ess, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Computational studies are critical to the field of organometallic chemistry since many highly reactive and unstable compounds cannot be isolated or observed experimentally. It is well-known that many organometallic reaction mechanisms involve spin intersystem crossing, e.g. singlet to triplet conversion. To estimate the rate […]
Professional Development and Safety Procedures in International Chemistry Education
Alexander Farnsworth and Dr. Jennifer Nielson, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Introduction For several years Dr. Jennifer Nielson has conducted research with her BYU team in Kampala and in Mbarara, Uganda. The research focuses on teaching chemistry concepts using simple experiments in Learning Chemistry through Experimentation workshops. Chemistry education in Uganda has generally consisted mostly […]
Development and Evaluation of an EEG-Based Symbol-Digit Substitution Task
Christopher Beckett and Dr. Bruce Brown, Department of Psychology Introduction The event-related potential (ERP) method has led to major advances in the experimental exploration of the neurological correlates of human cognition (Luck, 2005). The usual process is to take EEG (electroencephalographic) recordings during a cognitive task. The recording is timelocked to a stimulus so that […]
Development of a Quasiclassical Direct Dynamics Program and Graphical Interface
Nathan Wohlgemuth and Dr. Dan Ess, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Introduction Organic and organometallic reactions are generally assumed to follow statistical mechanical models of reactivity and selectivity that correspond to transition state theory. However, in recent years there have been several organic reactions that have been shown to be controlled by post-transition state reaction […]
