Drs. Eric H. Christiansen and William Keach, Department of Geological Sciences Introduction The origin of Earth’s continents, many of our most important ore deposits and the largest and most damaging volcanic eruptions are all related to the emplacement of silicic plutons–large masses of once molten magma. Understanding the details of the mechanism by which these […]

The Role of Nuclear Bmp2 (nBmp2) in Skeletal Muscle
Dr. Laura Bridgewater, Department of Microbiology & Molecular Biology The goal of this project was to characterize the molecular pathway by which nBmp2 disrupts Ca2+ handling in skeletal muscle of nBmp2 mutant mice. Previously, we had worked with Dr. Chad Hancock’s lab to measure muscle function in nBmp2 mutant mice, and those results showed a […]
How Does the Effect of Cholesterol Vary between the Inner and Outer Membrane?
Dr. John Bell, Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology Summary This proposal was designed to use fluorescence spectroscopy to identify in as much detail as possible physical properties of model membranes in effort to understand roles of cholesterol in biological membranes. The following questions were addressed: how does the effect of cholesterol differ between the […]
Student Electrochemical Research
Dr. Dean Wheeler, Department of Chemical Engineering Abstract of Work The work allowed additional students to join in electrochemical engineering research here at BYU. The mentored students worked on one of several possible projects with the broad theme of understanding and mitigating internal resistances in fuel cells and lithium batteries. Additional work was done on […]
The Effects of Development Aid on Public Health
Dr. Daniel Nielson, Department of Political Science Reaching Academic Objectives Between 2007 and 2009 the students in my mentoring research program helped fill out the Project-Level Aid (PLAID) Database, now called AidData and located at aiddata.org, to such an extent that the academic fruits became both evident and prominent. With the help of the mentored […]
