Chad D. Jensen, Ph.D., Department of Psychology Abstract Research conducted with adults has demonstrated increased neural response to high calorie food images among sleep-deprived individuals (Benedict et al., 2012). Furthermore, a significant body of research suggests that social stress increases risk for unhealthy food consumption. Research examining the neural underpinnings of the social stress suggests […]

2017 Archaeological Excavation – Ataruz, Jordan
Aaron Schade, Department of Ancient Scripture In January 2017 I received a MEG totaling $20,000 to conduct a multi-faceted project associated with the excavations at Khirbat Ataruz in Jordan, including capturing images of ancient artefacts and inscriptions using Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI). I am happy to report that the project was a success, and that […]
Noise Threshold and Normalization by Contrast Parameter for Atomization during Droplet Impingement
Alexander White and Julie Crockett, Mechanical Engineering The purpose of this report is to remind the reader of goals initially set in conjunction with the original ORCA Grant project proposal in October 2017, to discuss logistical difficulties in carrying out the original project and subsequent adjustments in scope and topic of work, to represent efforts […]
Chemokine Receptor CCBP2-V41A and its Role in Inflammation and Alzheimer’s Disease
Allen Weinert and Scott Weber, Microbiology & Molecular Biology Introduction The leading cause of dementia in elderly patients is Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a degenerating and fatal neurodegenerative condition. AD is a proteopathic disease caused by extensive accumulation of amyloid beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. A recent genomewide association study analyzing 59 AD-associated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) […]
A Summer in Moscow
Ellie Vance and Thom K. Edlund My summer in Moscow was amazing, but not what I expected it to be. Rather, it was filled with unexpected but wonderful surprises and changes along the way. The original plan was to secure an internship in a Moscow archive in order to learn more about how archive systems […]
Identifying Unknown Satellites
Nicholas Van Alfen and Joseph Moody, Physics & Astronomy Introduction Satellites are used for a wide range of purposes and by a wide range of organizations from private companies to governments. Specifically, what was of interest to us and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) with whom we collaborated was the need to identify different […]
Muscle Activation via MRI: Comparison of Techniques
Logan Thorneloe and Neal Bangerter, Electrical and Computer Engineering Introduction Muscle functional magnetic resonance imaging (mfMRI) is a proven concept to non-invasively identify muscle activation1. Noninvasively identifying muscle activation can be used to diagnose metabolic muscle disease, identify and pinpoint muscular dysfunction, observe muscle deterioration in aging individuals, and help researchers better understand the biological […]
German Immigrants in Church Records in the State of Kentucky
Deborah Mocke and Roger P. Minert, PhD, History Introduction The purpose of this project was to assist in the furthering of German genealogical research, by making German Protestant church records in America more accessible to people with German ancestry. In the 2000 U.S. Census, nearly one in six people reported their ancestry as German. “42.8 […]
Finding Planets Around Massive Stars
Elisabeth Frischnecht and Denise Stephens, Physics & Astronomy Introduction During the formation stages of a solar system, huge clouds of gas and dust contract into a disk around the growing star. These disks are the birthplace of planets, and are essential to our understanding of solar system formation. Historically, the search for planets outside of […]
Multiculturalism: The Search of Home Through Roots and Tentacles
Daniela Ferreira and Brian Christensen, Art Introduction When this project was conceived, my idea was to exhibit how juxtaposition of marine creatures and perennial plants would help further the discussion of multiculturalism and the idea of home. The project consisted of traveling to the Audubon Park in New Orleans to observe century old oaks known […]
