Addicts Seeing Blue: Color Processing Differences in the Opiate Dependent State
Cary Crall and Dr. Scott Steffensen, Department of Neuroscience Opiate use in Utah has grown faster than that of any other substance in the past year (Duda, 2008). In 2007, total opiate abuse (e.g., heroin, Oxycodones, etc.) accounted for 15.3% of overall substance abuse in male clients and 18.1% in female clients (see Payne, 2007). […]
Peer Mentor Development: Examining the Differences and Patterns Between More and Less Experienced Peer Mentors
Mindy Davis and Dr. Stefinee Pinnegar, Department of Teacher Education Research has shown that student-to-student interaction in times of transition is valuable (Kuh, 2005; Light, 2001; Astin, 1993). Kuh (2005) has highlighted the interaction between freshmen and upper-classmen as a high impact strategy in supporting freshmen transition. Yet, research indicates that the benefits received by […]
Gender Differences in the Acoustic Parameters of Contrastive Stress Production
Bryce Bristow and Dr. Shawn Nissen, Department of Communication Disorders I was able to present the following research at the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association 2012 National Conference. I made a poster and talked to professionals and researchers from across the nation. Introduction It is hoped that by increasing our understanding of gender differences in […]
Examining Quantitative Differences in Gait Between the PVC Prosthesis Design and the Traditional Prosthesis
David Chinn and Dr. Matt Seeley, Department of Exercise Sciences Our purpose in conducting research was to evaluate a novel, below-knee PVC prosthesis (Figure 1) relative to traditional below-knee prostheses. We aimed to collect data from the biomechanical gait analysis of amputees using the PVC prosthesis. Our desire is to help those in developing nations […]

Development of Automated Control Systems for Pilot-scale Combustors in the New BYU Engineering Building Annex
Andrew Fry, Chemical Engineering Introduction The purpose of this MEG grant was to train 3 undergraduate students from either Chemical or Mechanical Engineering on the use of OPTO 22 control system and then to direct them, along with the input from engineers at OPTO 22, as they build and install a control system and logic […]
Cognitive Patterns of Information Addiction
Rayman Meservy, Information Systems Summary As suggested by the title, this project focused on understanding the Cognitive Patterns of Information Addiction. Throughout the course of the project we have learned quite a bit about this concept and have refined our narrow focus on addiction to a more broad focus on understanding the cognitive patterns associated […]
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 […]
