Michael Joseph Richards and Dr. Dale Tree, Mechanical Engineering Introduction The purpose of this project was to aid in the research of Kenth Svensson, PhD. student at BYU. I was able to perform many vital tasks in preparation for data acquisition. The proposal which we submitted named three tasks which were measuring and mapping the […]

Phosphorylation dependent Conformational changes of PhoB in Escherichia coli
Allison Sparks and Dr. William McCleary, Microbiology All bacteria must have a way to control cell functions when their outside environment changes. E.coli uses a phosphate signaling pathway to accomplish this. In the bacterial cell membrane, there are proteins that take up phosphate from the environment, transports it into the cell, and triggers transcription of […]
Background Color Selection Based on Color Information from User Images: Making It Easier to Be Right and Scientific for Web Page Designers
Qing Xia and Dr. Brian Morse, Computer Science Department The original idea for this project was conceived at the Center for Instructional Design (CID) at Brigham Young University. CID suggested a need to develop software tools for dynamically selecting a good background color for a web page design, given an image to be placed on […]
Preliminary Paleostress and Deformation Analysis of the Backlimb of the Miners Mountain Uplift, Capitol Reef National Park, Utah
Samuel Sorber Abstract Measurement of fracture sets and small-scale folds along the backlimb of the Miners Mountain uplift in the northern portion of Capitol Reef National Park reveal a paleostress direction of approximately 20° azimuth, nearly 45° counterclockwise from the principle stress observed by Bump and Davis (2003). Slickenlines along the plane of a major […]
A Sequence Stratigraphic analysis of the Cedar Mountain Formation
Brent Greenhalgh and Dr. Brooks Britt, Geology The Cedar Mountain Formation (CMF) contains an abundance of Early Cretaceous dinosaur bone accumulations unrivaled in North America. The CMF also records the propagation of mountain building into western Utah tied to the Sevier fold and thrust belt. The fluvial nature of the CMF and its similarities to […]
Dance-Focused Cultural Information Database
Bryce R. Shelley and Professor Susanne Davis, Dance Dance is often overlooked in the United States as a valid medium through which other cultures can be identified, classified, and understood. As dance is not an integral part of life in the United States, many people forget (or never knew) that dance is a cultural element sometimes […]
The Effect of Pre-Service Turbine Blade Surface Roughness on the Formation of Deposits
John Pettitt and Dr. Jeffrey P. Bons, Mechanical Engineering Land based Gas Turbine (GT) engines are used very widely in power generation plants. The performance of the turbine blades greatly influences the engine’s overall efficiency and service life. As turbine engines operate, the life and performance of the blades are degraded by the deposition of […]
Creating a Geographic Information System for Nematology
Levi Hilton and Dr. Byron Adams, Microbiology A geographic information system (GIS) is a powerful tool for correlating information that has a spatial component. This technique has been used in many different ways from organizing major corporations and services to building intricate maps. We used a GIS to help determine if there was a certain […]
The effects of point mutation saturation on the loss of information in mutated DNA sequences
Kimberly Baer and Dr. David McClellan, Integrative Biology The research I am conducting fills a niche in molecular adaptation. My experiment uses accepted methods of reconstruction to evaluate the accumulation of multiple hits at single sites. It is accepted that over time point mutation saturation in specific sequences occurs in a clock-like manner following Poisson-like […]
The FCS and the USDA: The Informational Efficiency of the Federal Farm System Bond Market
T. Lance Toler and Dr. Farrell E. Jensen, Economics The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) prepares reports on the income and financial stability of American farmers and agricultural organizations. If the information in USDA reports on the financial stability of American agriculture is already known by the markets, then the prices of Federal Farm […]
