Colter Stewart and Dr. John Colton, Physics & Astronomy Introduction The principal purpose of my research is to produce stable, long-lasting, reproducible p-type zinc oxide for experimental and commercial use. Semiconductor devices made with zinc oxide (ZnO) have the potential to be a cheaper alternative to those made with gallium nitride (GaN). In addition, ZnO […]

Frequency of Pathogenic Staphylococcus Aureus in Commercial Meat Samples and Examination of new ways to Eliminate Staphylococcus Aureus Biofilms)
Berges 2015 Final MEG Report Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met Here are the original aims of the grant proposal, along with a brief progress report: A. Determine prevalence of S. aureus and MRSA in local raw meat samples. We have a manuscript on this aim, it is currently […]
Biofilm Testing on Antimicrobial Coating for Endotracheal Tubing
Tania Nance and Dr. Paul Savage, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Introduction About 50 million patients worldwide are intubated annually with endotracheal tubing to open the airway, to deliver oxygen, medicine or anesthesia, to support breathing, to remove blockages from the airway and to protect the lungs from aspiration. Along with their medical uses, they […]
Novel Methods of Creating Mesoporous Silica Films in Conjunction with Photoresist SU-8 for use in Thin Layer Chromatography Plates
George Major and Faculty Mentor: Dr. Matthew Linford, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) is widely used for performing chemical separations and has been a staple in separation techniques. However, the functionality and effectivity of TLC plates has not changed over the past several decades. Standard TLC plates have a slow developing […]
Teacher Training Films: Helping Sunday School Teachers Better Teach Individuals with Disabilities
Mary Woodruff and Katie Steed, Counseling Psychology and Special Education Introduction Sunday schools are primarily taught by devoted lay volunteers. Often times these individuals are willing to help, but can have feelings of self-doubt and anxiety. These feelings can be felt at a greater magnitude when a volunteer has a class that includes a student […]
Visualizing Intermedial Fairy Tales: Television, Film, Other Audiovisual Media
Jill Terry Rudy, English, and Jarom McDonald, Digital Humanities Evaluation of Academic Objectives This project has leveraged data processing and visualization methods that are becoming significant paradigms in digital humanities scholarship; specifically, we have repositioned the existing teleography of fairy tales on television from Channeling Wonder into a data corpus that can be mined and […]
Aesthetics and Film Criticism: Introductory Dialogues
Dallin Robinson and Dennis Packard, Philosophy Introduction The purpose of this project was to write a textbook for the class we taught: Introduction to the Philosophy of Art. During the Fall 2013 and Winter 2014 semesters, Professor Packard used art history texts, philosophical encyclopedias, and filmmaking texts to supplant his lectures with. The downside to […]
Reflectometry of Aluminum Thin Films in the Vacuum Ultraviolet
Benjamin Smith and Faculty Mentor: R. Steven Turley, Department of Physics and Astronomy Introduction Vacuum Ultraviolet (VUV) is a range of light on the electromagnetic spectrum corresponding to wavelengths from 40 – 280 nm. VUV photons have too much energy to see visibly and are blocked completely by atmosphere. This wavelength range, however, shows promise […]
Biofilm Binding Capabilities of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis Mutants
Bailey Benson and Dr. David Erickson, Department of Micro and Molecular Biology Introduction Yersinia pestis — the causative agent of the deadly bubonic plague, which killed over one-third of Europe in the 14th century – spreads quickly from person to person due to its ability to create a biofilm, characterized by bacterial adhesion to themselves […]
How Yersinia pseudotuberculosis biofilm formation is regulated by global regulator CsrA
Jeffrey Schachterle and David Erickson, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Introduction The bacteria Yersinia pestis is the causative agent of bubonic plague, and its ability to form biofilm in fleas is essential for plague transmission by fleas [1]. Y. pestis recently evolved from Y. pseudotuberculosis (Y. pstb), and the two have nearly identical genomes. Y. pestis […]
