Dynamics of Multi-Spin Systems : Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert Model and ferromagnetic pattern formation
Soyoung Jung and Dr. Manuel Berrondo, Department of Physics and Astronomy Introduction Modeling has been an important part of many fields of research. Even though it sometimes could be considered to be non-practical, it has sharpened the questions and has been a useful tool for experimental research to understand what is being observed in the […]
Protein Signaling Effects on Embryonic Limb Formation
Derrick Crawford and Dr. Jeffery Barrow, Developmental Biology Introduction: Congenital limb malformations occur in approximately 1 in 500 live births. These defects are due largely because of genetic and developmental causes. In my experiments, I have researched the source of these defects to understand how cell to cell signaling affects digit and limb formation. I […]
Who Can We Trust? How Information Sources Affect Political Attitudes in Peru
Lucas Brook and Dr. Darren Hawkins, Political Science Department Peru has long been afflicted by corruption and political malpractice. As a result, Peruvian citizens have become disenchanted with their government. In recent years, the Peruvian government has employed internet transparency campaigns in an attempt to improve these sentiments. But what if Peruvians feel they cannot […]
Website to Preserve Unique Information on German Composer Luise Greger
Camila Trujillo Medina and Dr. Michelle Stott James, PhD, Germanic and Slavic Languages The endeavor to preserve the memory of German composer Luise Greger (1862-1944) has taken me and my mentor, Dr. Michelle James, head of the German and Slavic Department, into the almost unexplored topic of early 20th century German music. Since very little […]
Freedom of Information: What can We Learn from Our Mother Country?
Whitney Evans Introduction American newspapers and journalists seem to be trending toward less investigative journalism, including stories that involve the use of freedom of information requests. This can be attributed to public demand for instant information, limited budgets and non-compliance of those who respond to freedom of information requests. The United States implemented the Freedom […]
Effect of Epigenetic Modification of DNA on Nucleosome Formation
Steven M. Johnson The following two specific Aims are from my 2011 MEG. We made great progress and completed Aim 1 and modified our Aim 2. Below I will give a status report for each Aim. Aim 1: Perform in vitro nucleosome (invitrosome) reconstitution on naked C. elegans genomic DNA using unmodified recombinant histone octamer […]
Analogical Modeling Of Japanese Loanword Formation From English
Nate Blaylock and Dr. Deryle Lonsdale, Linguistics The topic of this research, by way of review, was to try to predict, using the Analogical Modeling of Language (AML) method, the formation of Japanese loanwords from English. In other words, given an English word, how would a Japanese person pronounce it if they adopted it into […]
TRANSFORMATIONS OF COMITANCILLO
Richard Lynn Paul, Department of Anthropology A number of transformations have occurred through the centuries for all Mayan peoples. Some transformations affect only a single area of life while others are major transformations that affect several areas of Mayan lifestyle. These great displacements are turning points during which many cultural beliefs and practices are lost. […]
Report of Progression on The Synthesis of a Conformational Amphiphile for Nondestructive Diffusion Through Membrane Bilayers
Paul B. Savage and Dr. David B. McMullin, Chemistry and Biochemistry The stability of all cellular life in the presence of adverse environmental conditions may be attributed to the function of cellular membranes. Membranes are unique in their ability to act as barriers with selective permeability (1). Such selective permeability allows cells to control and […]
