Michael Malan and Dr. Scott R. Woodward, Molecular Biology Advances in recombinant DNA technology have greatly assisted the study of human population history by helping to shed light on human origins and relationships. Study of the extra nuclear mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) has been a most significant tool used in these investigations. Numerous studies designed with […]

Calorimetric Investigation of the Complexation of Didodecylcalix[4]arene-crown-6 with Alkali Metal Cations in Acetonitrile
Dusten M. Macdonald and Dr. John D. Lamb, Chemistry and Biochemistry Processing and storage of medium and high level activity liquid nuclear wastes (MLW/HLW) present a major challenge for governments around the world. Gamma radiation from 137Cs, as well as radiation from 90Sr and other radionuclides present in the waste, complicates the already troublesome disposal […]
Investigation Into the Anti-Angiogenic Activities of Convolvulus arvensis Extract
Jeremy F McBride, Rachelle R Olsen and Dr. Kim L O’Neill, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Angiogenesis, the development and differentiation of new blood vessels from the pre-existing vasculature, is a fundamental physiological process involved in growth, development, and wound healing. Loss of control over the biological molecules which regulate this process can lead to pathologic […]
A Construct Validity Investigation of Therapeutic Mechanisms in Group: An Analysis of the GCQ and CCI
Shelby L Ferrin and Dr. Gary M Burlingame, Psychology Group psychotherapy is a growing field of both psychological research and clinical application. Credit for this growth has been ascribed to a variety of factors, among them the efficiency of seeing multiple clients at one time. Previous research has demonstrated that group therapy is as efficacious […]
FMRI Investigation of Brain Function While Reading Different Types of Literature
David A Thayer and Dr. Travis Oliphant, Electrical and Computer Engineering Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a new imaging technique that results in images showing what areas of the brain are active during different activities. In spite of the popularity of this new technology there are no commonly available or widely accepted programs for processing […]
Discovering the Egg: An Investigation Into the Art of Solo Performance in Dance
Marney Schaumann and Professor Pat Debenham, Modern Dance The elements of choreography and performance are vital to the craft of a dancer. All dancers in a University setting invest a majority of their time studying both disciplines. Choreography is an outlet of expression, a journey, a process, that dancers use to explore the world around them, […]
Can a Flea See? An Investigation of Flea Opsin (Flopsin)
Sean David Taylor and Dr. Michael F. Whiting, Integrative Biology Visual pigments are responsible for conferring visual perceptual abilities to animals. Various pigments are tuned to absorb light of different wavelengths and to provide contrast and movement perception. All pigments consist of an opsin protein and a chromophore molecule, usually a carotene derivative. Interactions between […]
Investigation into the Mechanisms Associated with Angiogenesis and Metastasis
Rachelle R. Olsen and Dr. Kim L. O’Neill, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Angiogenesis, the development and differentiation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature, is tightly controlled during physiological processes including wound healing, growth, and development. Angiogenesis is also associated with several human malignancies including arthritis, psoriasis, and cancer. Angiogenesis, which provides a source of […]
Investigation of Pavement Patch Rehabilitation Bond Strength
Keith Woffinden and Dr. W. Spencer Guthrie, Civil and Environmental Engineering Introduction The traditional construction method for asphalt removal and replacement uses a high-power saw to separate the damaged asphalt from the existing pavement. The remaining material is broken and removed from the site in a time-consuming and laborious process. The saw-cut leaves a smooth, […]
An Investigation of the Perceptions of Women Three to Nine Months after a Childbirth Experience
Ethel Tovar and Dr. Lynn C. Callister, Nursing A woman’s childbirth experience is unique and can have a lasting impact, initially affecting neonatal care and impacting perspectives on the childbirth experience .
