Kimball Staples & Nephi Thompson & Dr. J. Ward Moody, Physics and Astronomy In March 1996, Dr. J. Ward Moody and Dr. Clark Christiansen obtained a series of approximately 120 CCD (solid state electronic) images of Comet Hyakutake. The images were taken at the National Optical Astronomy Observatory on Kitt Peak, near Tucson, Arizona. The […]

Content-Based Classification and Retrieval of Digital Images
Ethan Garofolo and Dr. William Barrett, Computer Science Purpose As digital image libraries continue to grow in size, classifying the content of such a large volume continues to grow in difficulty. At present, human users catalog images by giving descriptive filenames and/or labels in image header files, hoping that the given names will make sense […]
Visual Attention and Reaction to Ultra-Thin Magazine Fashion Images among Females
Nikki Ricks The purpose of this study is to examine differences in eye-tracking patterns between high and low risk groups of young adult women (based on the presence or absence of eating-disordered cognitions) using Scan Path Analysis. Recently, the BYU Communication Research Center purchased eye-tracking equipment from Applied Science Laboratories in Boston, MA. This equipment […]
Development of Models of Laryngeal Cartilage Using MRI Images
Brianne Hamilton and Dr. Scott L. Thomson, Mechanical Engineering The study of vocal fold vibration allows for greater understanding of how speech production occurs and of the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of associated physiological disorders. Until now an environment to test vocal fold models which are anatomically similar in both form and function has not […]
D-E-A-F Images of a Visual Culture
Whitney Hardie and Professor John Telford, Photography My goal this year was to go above and beyond my education and truly put the skills I’ve learned at BYU to use. I actually graduated in April but moved the date to August so that I could finish this project. I took three years of sign-language classes in addition […]
Images of the Modern Day Family
Leslie Duke and Professor Richard Hull, Department of Visual Arts This project was an exciting exploration into the realms of both art and society. Originally, as was stated in my grant proposal, the goal of this project was to create a series of narrative illustrations depicting the dynamics of the modern day family, particularly focusing on […]
Summary of Creative Project—Images of French Canada: An Educational Tool for the French Language Classroom
Heather A. Young and Dr. Michael Bush, French and Italian This creative project constitutes one component of an initiative undertaken by Dr. Michael Bush to obtain and use culturally authentic images of everyday life in Francophone countries to illustrate lexical and grammatical concepts in the French language classroom. Receiving the ORCA Scholarship enabled me to […]
Using Photographic Images to Learn Vocabulary and Culture in a Foreign Language Classroom
Brandy Harman and Professor Chantal Thompson, French and Italian Studies have found that foreign language students have greater success learning vocabulary when there is a visual to accompany the new words and concepts. It is also a good way to incorporate aspects of the target culture into the language lesson. The French department has already collected […]
Using EBSD images to Determine 3D Crystal Structure
Caroline Sorensen and Dr. David Fullwood, Department of Mechanical Engineering The research I have completed over the past year has been very successful. The results will soon (i.e. in the next week or two) be submitted for publication, most likely to the journal “Metallurgical and Material Transactions A.” Preliminary findings from this research were also […]
Understanding the Wind-dominated Landforms of Saturn’s Moon Titan Through Earth Analogues
Jani Radebaugh and Eric Christiansen, Geological Sciences, Shannon Tass, Statistics Executive Summary and Scientific Merit The largest moon of Saturn, Titan, has a thick atmosphere of nitrogen and a pressure similar to that of Earth at the surface. There are winds, strong enough to have produced two wind-dominated landforms similar to those on Earth – […]
