Forest J. Gahn and Dr. Scott Ritter, Geology Purpose and Structure: The purpose of this paper is to document a newly discovered assemblage of Early Mississippian (Kinderhookian) fossil crinoids from southeast Iowa. I will provide an introduction and background of the project, followed by the results of the research. Cited references are included at the […]

Transformation of Urban Space: Somali Bantu Women Refugees and the Lynn Community Health Center
April Reynosa and Dr. Julie Hartly, Anthropology Introduction This study evolved out of my experiences as a volunteer under Project North Star, a literacy program headed by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) that serves refugee women from Somalia. From September of 2006 through December 2006 I worked as the Child Development Instructor for this program. […]
MANAGING TRAFFIC ON THE INFORMATION SUPER HIGHWAY
Robert W. Walthall and Dr. Mark Clement, Electrical Engineering This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of a method of controlling the flow of traffic on the information highway. A new network protocol, Asynchronous Transfer Mode, is being developed to support applications that will run on the infohighway. These applications will include current data […]
Mobile Device Information Privacy: The Effects of Risk Experience and Education on Information Disclosure
Erik Andersen and Dr. Mark Keith, Information Systems Information privacy research has demonstrated that consumers vary greatly in terms of their understanding of the real risks of disclosing personal information and location data over mobile applications. Those who truly understand the risks behave rationally and base their disclosure decisions on a risk/reward tradeoff. Those who […]
PHILO’S TRANSFORMATION OF JEWISH PIETY: HIS INFLUENCE ON THE SCRIPTURAL INTERPRETATIVE TRADITION
John Rather and Dr. James Siebach, Philosophy Philo Judaeus was a deeply philosophic exegete of Hebrew scripture whose commitment to Greek philosophy led him to re-interpret the nature of the study of scripture. His reinterpretation is a form of philosophical reflection on the nature of reality within the context of the exegesis of scriptural texts. […]
The Relationship Between Zyxin and Rac1 In Cell Junction Formation
Dan Brereton, Ryan Vellinga, Craig Barnette and Dr. Marc Hansen, Physiology and Developmental Biology In order to better understand how cancer metastasizes we must discover how cancer cells are able to break down their cell-cell junctions. This process is likely due to altered levels of proteins within the cell that are responsible for forming and […]
A Nuclear Variant of Gdf5 may present Novel Insights on Arthritis Formation
Michael Baldwin and Dr. Laura Bridgewater, Department of Microbiology and Molecular Biology More than 40 million Americans suffer from the pains of arthritis. Arthritis is characterized by joint inflammation and cartilage deterioration (3). For many years growth differentiation factor 5 (Gdf5) has been associated with cartilage formation and maintenance (4, 1). Recently, a new variant […]
The Right to Know: The Indian Journalist’s Right to Information Since 2005
Marie Magleby and Professor Edward Carter, Communications When governments keep secrets from citizens, corruption prevails and democracy remains a far-fetched ideal at best. However, government transparency – an antidote to corruption – is an inconceivable idea to much of the global population. In a high-pressure effort to approach this ideal, India enacted the Right to Information […]
Investigation of the Effects of Intraosseous Pressure Rise in the Formation of Spinal Burst Fractures: A Biphasic Material Approach
Spencer Shore and Dr. Anton Bowden Introduction Burst fractures are high-speed spine injuries caused by rapid axial compression of the vertebrae. The traditional explanation for the burst fracture mechanism points to an intraosseous pressure rise due to the entrance of the intervertebral disc through a fractured endplate. Recent experiments [1], however, indicate an actual decrease […]
High-Resolution Bulk Measurement of Crystal Defects during Deformation of Highly Textured Copper
Colin Landon and Dr. Brent Adams, Mechanical Engineering Plastic deformation of crystalline materials is accommodated by crystallographic slip, and the formation and motion of dislocations. Of particular interest to deformation predictions are the dislocation structures that form internal to grains (i.e. the cellular structures), because of their impact on the plastic behavior of the crystal. […]
