Clarke Safsten and Karine Chenel, Physics and Astronomy Department My project for which I received an ORCA grant has advanced considerably. I work with Dr. Chesnel studying magnetic thin films. These films consist of layered ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic materials. In previous experiments, Dr. Chesnel has determined that these types of films exhibit a property called […]

Determining Thin Film Roughness with EUV Reflection
Cody Petrie and Steven Turley, Department of Physics and Astronomy Introduction: Reflection of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light is made difficult by a number of factors. First, most materials have a large, imaginary part of the index of refraction for EUV light, causing absorption. As a result, our experiment is done under vacuum. Second, since the […]
“Shepherd” A Documentary Film
Jared Jakins and Professor Thomas Lefler, Theater Media Arts Introduction The production of this documentary has been extensive, and in the process the project was renamed “Ghosts on the Mountain.” The film examines the isolated lifestyle of H-‐2A guest workers in the American West by subtly exploring the emotions that come with their occupation. The […]
Biofilm Regulation in Yersinia Pseudotuberculosis through Elements Downstream of the BarA/UvrY Two-component System
Jeffrey Schachterle and Dr. David Erickson, Molecular and Microbiology 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 […]
The Dinner Guest A Film Exploration of Motherhood
Kenneth Merrill and Professor Jeff Parkin, Theater & Media Arts This project began as a poorly-written draft of a script about a woman struggling against the strict social pressures of the 1950’s. I took on the task of turning it into a film because I liked the setting, the action, the tight dialogue, and I really […]
The Cinematographic portrayal of Americans in Late Stalin Era Soviet Film
James K. Pringle and Dr. Raissa Solovieva, German Studies and Slavic Languages This research examines how Soviet directors portrayed Americans in the six anti-American films released during the late Stalin era (1945-1953). These six films are The Russian Question (dir. Romm, 1947), Meeting on the Elbe (dir. Alexandrov, 1949), Court of Honor (dir. Room, 1949), […]
The Effects of Combining Ultrasonic Frequency And Antibiotics to Escherichia Coli Biofilms in an in Vivo System
Rachel L. Robison and Dr. William G. Pitt, Chemical Engineering Prosthetic devices are commonly used in modern medicine. There are two types of prosthetic devices, implanted and transdermal. Implanted devices such as vascular grafts, heart valves, and prosthetic joints frequently become colonized by bacteria due to improper surgical techniques or post-operative infections.2 Transdermal devices such […]
Developing Film Processes
Ryan Little and Professor Tom Lefler, Theatre and Media Arts As a student of cinematography I have focused most of my studies on “Sensitometry,” the science of measuring the response of photographic emulsions to light. The way in which a film is exposed, processed and viewed can affect the degree to which the film=s sensito-metric […]
Creating a Pre-inventive Film
David Paul Graham and Professor Tom Lefler, Theater and Film Traditionally, narrative films begin with a story to be told and every decision made in the film making process should take into account what would best in order to tell that story. I proposed to create a narrative film a very different way. I thought […]
A Proposed Thin Film Process for Shortening Carbon Nanotube AFM Probes
Dale S. Kitchen and Dr. Robert C. Davis, Physics and Astronomy This report describes the growth of carbon nanotubes on sharp silicon cantilevers through chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and the implementation of thin film and acid etch techniques to shorten the grown nanotubes. Silicon and silicon-nitride probes serve as the principle imaging tools for Atomic […]
