S. Adam Stringham and Dr. Steven K. Clarles, Mechanical Engineering Introduction Essential Tremor (ET) is among the most common movement disorders. It is characterized by involuntary, rhythmic movement in the body, most often in the hands or head. The primary treatment options include deep brain surgery and/or medication, both of which can cause undesired side […]
Gas Detection System for Biomass Cookstove Emissions
Jeffery Smith, Cyera Bishop and Matthew Jones, Mechanical Engineering The purpose of this research project was to explore Peruvian social and cultural behaviors that typically prevent successful improved cookstove adoption in resource-limited settings as well as suggest ways to educate locals about the benefits of improved cookstoves. This will be done by a BYU Global […]
Pre-service Teacher’s Perceptions of Technology Integration in their Future Classrooms

Morphological Parsing and Segmentation
Kyle Roth and Deryle Lonsdale, Linguistics & English Language Morphological parsing is a task where a computer recognizes the meaning that parts of a word contribute to its overall meaning and role in the sentence. Morphological segmentation simply means splitting words up into their component parts, and is simpler than parsing. The result of my […]
Product Design for Children with Limb Defects
Cecilee Petersen and Richard Fry, School of Technology Introduction Congenital Limb Deficiency (CLD) occurs when a fetus’s upper or lower limbs do not form completely during pregnancy. This project analyzes how girls aged seven to thirteen years with upper-limb CLD adjust to daily tasks and supports the design of a mechanism to help them perform […]
Nrf2 in Protecting Against Valproic Acid-‐Induced Oxidative Injury During Cellular Differentiation
Alyssa Palmer and Jason Hansen, Physiology and Developmental Biology Introduction The causes of the majority of birth defects remain largely unknown today. However, many chemicals known to cause defects are also known inducers of oxidative stress, resulting in faulty cellular function. This suggests an important link between oxidative stress and normal and abnormal embryonic development […]
