Britta Bergstrom and Dr. Heidi Vollmer-Snarr, Chemistry and Biochemistry The purpose of my project was to evaluate how effective a certain class of organic chemical compounds, known as fluorescent folate bis-retinoid bioconjugates, is for use as chemotherapy agents. An important part of my research involved developing techniques for the growth and maintenance of healthy cancer-cell […]

Reclamation of Elsa Bernstein’s Königskinder for Scholastic Evaluation
Krista Landon and Dr. Robert McFarland, Germanic and Slavic Languages The Sophie Digital Resource and Research Center project was created to recover the works of previously marginalized authors, specifically focusing on female German artists. Run by “Women in German,” the project is designed to facilitate mentored research by students. The Sophie project fills a scholarly […]
Evaluation of Three Chemical Coatings on Biomaterial Induced Thromboembolism
Joseph Flinders and Dr. Kenneth Solen, Chemical Engineering Department When blood contacts man-made biomaterials such as those used in artificial organs (e.g. hemodialyzers, oxygenators, etc.) a chain of events occurs that can lead to medical complications as serious as a stroke. These events include proteins (particularly fibrinogen) adhering to the biomaterial’s surface, the accumulation of […]
PROJECT VISION EVALUATION
Cassandra J. Dorius and Dr. Vaughn R.A. Call, Sociology With an estimated one quarter of America’s youth between the ages of 10 and 17 exhibiting signs of high risk or dysfunctional behaviors, organizations aimed at intervention and positive socialization have flourished over the past decade.1 Research has shown that within these organizations a social environment […]
Evaluation of Palestinian Refugee Women’s Attitudes Towards and Persistence in Exclusive Breastfeeding for Six Months
Heather Thomas and Dr. Madanat Hala, Health and Human Performance In the wake of the Iraq war, the Israel/ Lebanon conflict and the ongoing violence in Palestine, Jordan has become a country overburdened with refugees. The UNHCR estimates that over 3 million refugees are living in Jordan, with the majority being from Palestine, Iraq and […]
EVALUATION OF A COMPLIANT OUT-OF-PLANE MICRO-MECHANICAL MECHANISM
Jeff Young and Dr. Larry Howell, Mechanical Engineering Much research is being done around the world in the field of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). MEMS are devices such as linkages, actuators, gears and motors built on a scale of microns. MEMS have many potential applications in medical science, electronics and other areas where smaller, more intricate, […]
Evaluation of Numerical Models for Prediction Fatigue Life of Cement-Treated Pavement Base Layers
Rebecca Crane and Dr. W. Spencer Guthrie, Civil and Environmental Engineering Cement treatment of aggregate base materials has been utilized in pavement construction since the 1930s (1). The addition of cement increases the strength and stiffness of the treated material and therefore offers greater structural support to the surface layer and greater protection of the […]
A Biomechanical Evaluation of a Novel Mobile Walking Device
Thomas D. Bateman and Dr. Matthew K. Seeley, Exercise Sciences Many individuals rely on crutches to help them walk. Those relying on traditional crutches often suffer from upper-extremity pathologies as well as psychological detriments.1 Additionally, those using crutches typically suffer from increased energy expenditures during locomotion.2 The Millennial Crutch (Figure 1) is a proposed alternative […]
Evaluation of Potato Rotation Management Practices
Travis Beckett and Dr. Brian G. Hopkins, Plant and Wildlife Sciences Introduction Potato production is an integral part of the agricultural economy of the northwest United States. Under recent pressure to increase profits, growers have been practicing shorter potato rotations—leaving a fewer number of years between potato crops in a given field (Myers et al., […]
Speculative Evaluation in Particle Swarm Optimization
Matthew Gardner and Dr. Kevin Seppi, Computer Science Optimization problems are ubiquitous in our modern world. Businesses such as Google need to decide where to place ads, scientists need to fit models to data, and airlines need to schedule their flights. All of these problems are optimization problems, and optimization techniques can be used to […]
