Michael J. Gravett and Professor Kent Hatch, Integrative Biology Stable isotope ratios have been used for a variety of purposes in the biological sciences. These ratios have been used by plant ecologists to asses the photosynthetic mode, to measure water balance, and to trace nitrogen sources (Gannes, 1997). They have been used by animal ecologists to […]

Investigation of Plant Species and Environments for Large Scale Buildings
Michelle Chandler and Dr. Brad Geary, Plant and Animal Sciences INTRODUCTION As I began working on my project, I was also asked to work as the lead student coordinator for a national conference that was to be held at Brigham Young University. In discussions with Dr. Brad Geary, Dr. Phil Allen and Greg Jolley it […]
AN INVESTIGATION OF THE MANDELBROT SET THROUGH THE DERIVATIVE TEST
John D. Melville and Dr. Robert P. Burton, Computer Science Considered the most complex object in mathematics, the Mandelbrot set has dazzled and mystified mathematicians and the public for more than twenty years. Unfortunately little progress has been made in understanding the phenomena that generate the Mandelbrot set. Recent discoveries by the Hyperspace Research Group […]
Silent Release An Investigation into Collaborative Choreography
Emmy Paiser, Kelby Anne Debenham Ellis, and Professor Patrick Debenham, Dance Department “Interaction, the direct effect that one kind of particle has on another, any of four fundamental ways in which elementary particles and bodies can influence each other, classified as strong, weak, electromagnetic, and gravitational (www.dictionary.com).” Our interest in interaction and collaboration began the semester […]
An Investigation of Ethnographic Musical Instruments for Presentation in a Public Exhibition
Christine Echols and Dr. Marti Lu Allen, Anthropology I used my ORCA scholarship to study a significant group of ethnographic musical instruments that were held by the Museum of Art and the Museum of Peoples and Cultures at BYU. By research and study, I was able to address questions of patterns and commonalities in rituals […]
Investigation of Child Headed Households in Mozambique, Africa
Gerald Cochran and Professor Jini Roby, School of Social Work Introduction and Background Child headed households (CHHs) are homes lead by “…children [who] live alone and manage the household without guidance and economic support from adults” (Aspaas, 1999, p. 202). This definition may or may not exclude adults as residents of the home. Some CHHs have […]
Parametric Investigation of the IsoTruss® Panel
Gregory J. Larson The IsoTruss Panel is a three dimensional composite grid structure, evolving from the IsoTruss®. The IsoTruss® implements a revolutionary idea of utilizing the very strong unidirectional characteristics in composite materials in a three dimensional manner. The IsoTruss® is utilized in pole-type applications. The IsoTruss Panel is based on similar principles but is […]
The Investigation of X-Ray Diffraction Patterns from Human Hair in Correlation with Dietary Habits
Savannah Gore and Professor Beverly L. Roeder, Department of Biology Eating disorders, namely anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN), are a serious problem affecting 1-5% of high school and college age women in the US. Unfortunately, the diagnostic methods used to determine if an individual is suffering from AN or BN are, for the most part, […]
An Investigation into the Processing Mechanisms Guiding Phonemic Restoration
Steven J Pearson and Dr. Wendy Baker, Linguistics and English Language Phonemic restoration (PhR) effects have been well documented since Warren’s 1970 research1 and much work has been done to examine the manners in which properties of a phoneme may be altered without preventing the occurrence of phonemic restoration. However, little work has been done […]
Genetic Investigation of the Protein PhoU
Christopher D. Rice and Dr. William McCleary, Molecular and Microbiology Phosphate is a necessary chemical compound for life at any level. Organisms have developed different means of obtaining phosphate from their environments and maintaining an intracellular phosphate homeostasis. The creation and maintenance of such a homeostasis at the very least requires mechanisms for sensing phosphate […]
