Quantifying predictive value of biological data types in machine learning models of cancer outcome
Samantha Jensen, Stephen Piccolo, Biology Precision medicine is a growing movement toward utilizing molecular diagnostics to guide medical decisions. It is particularly useful when applied to cancer treatment, as knowing details about cancer stage, genetic pathology, and tumor type can inform life-saving decisions. Increasingly, physicians may use genetic, proteomic, epigenetic, and expression data to determine treatment […]
Learning and Lifting: Moving Toward BYU’s Ideal Mentoring Environment Using Climate Change Research as a Model
Learning History: Understanding and Facilitating Improvement in Clinical Microsystems
Dr. Bret Lyman, Nursing Department Evaluation of Academic Objectives The academic outcomes of the proposal were generally met (and exceeded). The proposal specified that four students would be involved in the mentoring environment, yet we found it possible to include eight students in faculty-mentored research efforts. Although only three students applied for ORCA grant funding […]

Using AVIRIS and Machine Learning to Map and Discriminate Bull Kelp and Giant Kelp along the Pacific Coast of the United States
Tanner Thompson and Dr. Ryan Jensen, Department of Geography Introduction Kelp forests provide food and shelter for many organisms, and they are an important part of coastal ecosystems throughout the world. Along the Pacific coast of the United States, kelp forests are made up of one of two species of kelp: bull kelp (Nereocystis Luetkana) […]
Detecting Cognitive Distortions Using Machine Learning and Text Analytics
Taetem Simms and Dr. Christophe Giraud-Carrier, Department of Computer Science Introduction Due to the rise of social media data, health scientists have become more engaged in using computational modeling to better understand health and health behavior. Pentland et al. have noted that daily use of technology “leave digital breadcrumbs – tiny records of our daily […]
Refining Statistical Magnesium Models via Machine Learning
Andrew Orme and Dr. David Fullwood, Mechanical Engineering Department Introduction Magnesium is a potential replacement for steels and aluminum in strength applications. Despite desirable strength and weight properties, magnesium is costly to manufacture. To reduce manufacturing costs, extensive research has been done on is a phenomenon called twinning, where a large group of magnesium atoms […]
Organizational Learning on Hospital Units: Instrument Development Cognitive Interviews and Content Validity Stages
Hannah Hoyt and Dr. Bret Lyman, Nursing Department Introduction Approximately 400,000 deaths occur each year due to preventable errors in hospitals.1 Organizational learning2 is the process through which organizations progress toward achieving their desired outcomes. Hospital units can use principles of organizational learning to reduce errors and achieve excellent performance outcomes.3 Unit managers have limited […]
Examining the Potential Role of GPR18 and GPR119 in Learning and Memory
Brandon Anderson, James Kranewitter-Call, and Dr. Jeffrey Edwards, Physiology and Developmental Biology Introduction Many mental disorders plague our society. Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease have greatly impacted many victims and their families. Despite the seriousness and pervasiveness of Alzheimer’s, there is still no effective treatment for it nor the accompanying dementia. GPR18 and GPR119 are G-protein […]
