Dr. Morris J. Robins and Dr. Theodore C. Jessop, Chemistry and Biochemistry 2-amino-6-alkoxypurineribosides are involved in clinical testing as anticancer co-drugs (1); however, current methods for the large scale synthesis of these compounds have proven extremely difficult. The improved synthesis of 2-amino-6-alkoxypurineribosides reported herein allows easy access to these medicinally important compounds. The novel reaction […]

Improved Hyperweb Search Efficiency through Index Replication
Jared Holcomb and Dr. Scott Woodfield, Computer Science The hyperweb is a network based on a modified hypercube1 topology. It is used to create a peerto- peer network for a distributed database (such as a genealogical database.) Two major drawbacks that a peer-to-peer network suffers are a low reliability rate for individual nodes and a […]
Improved Extra Vehicular Activity by use of a Pressurized Martian Atmosphere
Simeon A Ning and Dr. David D. Allred, Physics and Astronomy In preparing for a manned mission to Mars, one problem that needs to be addressed is how to do servicing, building and maintenance work on Mars. This problem is related to space suit design. Past NASA explorations have used full pressure suits (FPS). These […]
Improved Culture Technique for Mycobacterium ulcerans
Neal S. Thomson and Dr. Richard Robison, Department of Microbiology Mycobacterium ulcerans is a pathogenic bacterium and is the causative agent of Buruli Ulcer, a common mycobacterial disease similar to tuberculosis and leprosy. Buruli Ulcer is endemic to Western Africa and produces a deforming and sometimes lethal skin disease. One major obstacle for research is […]
Evaluating Biodiversity Trends for Improved Implementation of Global Environmental Policy
Tyler Greathouse and Dr. Gary Bryner, Political Science There have been numerous international and national attempts to formulate environmental policies that would effectively curb the potentially debilitating decrease in biological diversity; however, many of these policies have failed to meet their goals. The most recent attempt to conserve biodiversity on the international stage was the […]
Short Surface Relief Fabry-Perot Fiber Bragg Gratings For Improved Strain Sensing
Andrew Sieler and Dr. Stephen Schultz, Electrical Engineering Main Text The use of optical fiber as a sensing instrument has become an important application in the optics field. Due to previous research conducted here at BYU1 it is now possible to fabricate Surface Relief Fiber Bragg Gratings, SR-FBGs, which can be used as a temperature […]
An Improved Estimation of Passive Wrist Stiffness Using Various Techniques
Will Drake and Dr. Steven Charles, Department of Mechanical Engineering The wrist plays a vital yet frequently overlooked role in positioning and supporting the hand during activities of daily living. Particularly during low-level activities (such as typing), passive joint stiffness dominates wrist dynamics and constitutes the main obstacle to motion. In spite of its importance, […]
Enhancing Social, Emotional, and Language Learning in Children with Language Impairment
Bonnie Brinton, PhD and Martin Fujiki, PhD, Communication Disorders Introduction: We were extremely grateful to receive a 2016-2018 Mentored Environment Grant. Our project was entitled Enhancing Social, Emotional, and Language Learning in Children with Language Impairment. The purpose of this project was to employ a multiple baseline, single subject design to investigate the efficacy of […]
T Cell Immunotherapy of Infection Disease and Cancer
Scott Weber, Microbiology and Molecular Biology 1) Project Summary This project was focused on improving the immune response to infectious disease and cancer. We have engineered T cell receptors with 1000-fold increase in affinity and will characterize their value as diagnostics and therapeutics. In addition, we examined changes in T cell function due to the […]
Meta-Analytic Investigation of Physical Ability Subgroup Differences Based on Age and Race
Cody Reeves, Management, Marriott School of Business Evaluation of Academic Objectives The academic objectives are still in the process of being met as the research effort is ongoing. We had hoped to have an academic manuscript submitted during the Fall 2018 semester, however this proved impossible as the project timeline was set back due to the mental […]
