Drs. Michael Findley and Daniel Nielson, Department of Political Science Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met The research project has been successful, overall, and we are continuing to prepare research for publication. When we recruited students to assist us with the research, we asked them to develop their own […]
Refinement and Validation of Elicited Imitation as a Measure of Oral Proficiency
Dr. Dan Dewey, Department of Linguistic and English Language We were able to achieve most of the goals established in the MEG proposal we submitted in the Fall of 2008 (for a grant Winter, 2009). We did end up adjusting the project and use of the funds slightly to adapt to changing needs and to […]
Three-Dimensional Seismic Study of Pluton Emplacement
Drs. Eric H. Christiansen and William Keach, Department of Geological Sciences Introduction The origin of Earth’s continents, many of our most important ore deposits and the largest and most damaging volcanic eruptions are all related to the emplacement of silicic plutons–large masses of once molten magma. Understanding the details of the mechanism by which these […]
The Role of Nuclear Bmp2 (nBmp2) in Skeletal Muscle
Dr. Laura Bridgewater, Department of Microbiology & Molecular Biology The goal of this project was to characterize the molecular pathway by which nBmp2 disrupts Ca2+ handling in skeletal muscle of nBmp2 mutant mice. Previously, we had worked with Dr. Chad Hancock’s lab to measure muscle function in nBmp2 mutant mice, and those results showed a […]
Advanced Biological and Biomedical Applications in Electrical Engineering
Drs. Neal K. Bangerter and Brian A. Mazzeo, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Summary The aim of the awarded MEG grant was to provide seed funding to establish a mentorship program for undergraduate students wishing to prepare for careers or graduate work in biological or biomedical applications of electrical engineering. Such a program has […]
Finding Plagiarizing and Undesirable Web Documents by Utilizing Word Similarity in the Fuzzy Set Information Retrieval Model
Dr. Yiu-Kai Dennis Ng, Department of Computer Science Evaluation of the Academic Objects In the 2007 MEG proposal, I specified the following Internet problems to be solved using a Fuzzy set information retrieval (IR) model: (i) detecting plagiarism, which is the act of using another’s words or ideas as one’s own, (ii) filtering junk emails, […]
