Julie Lander and Dr. Jeffery Barrow, Physiology and Developmental Biology Limb abnormalities are among the more common birth defects, occurring in up to 1 in 1,000 live births. Although limb development has been studied for decades, many mechanisms that regulate limb outgrowth remain currently unknown. The object of this study was to further elucidate some […]

The Development and Refinement of Constant-Force Mechanisms for Use in Future Applications
Brent L. Weight and Dr. Larry L. Howell, Mechanical Engineering A compliant mechanism is one in which the mechanism’s motion comes from deflection of one or more of its members. Compliant mechanisms offer several advantages over rigid-body mechanisms. The member deflection characteristic of compliant mechanisms results in the ability to store energy directly within the […]
Maternal Education and Child Nutritional Status in Africa: Mediating Mechanisms
Kiira Fox and Dr. Renata Forste, Sociology Main Text While previous research indicates child stunting rates have decreased in the aggregate over the last few decades, malnutrition continues to account for over half of annual child deaths and the stunting of 226 million (Neumann et al.). As national inequality persists, even increasing in certain areas, […]
Cellular Mechanisms Behind Memory Formation in the Developing Brain
Spencer Bell and Dr. Jeffrey Edwards, Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology Carrying out my research project with my mentor’s assistance has provided valuable experiences and important lessons. At the present time, however, my research has not produced the results we had anticipated. We had hoped to demonstrate that a certain receptor in the brain […]
Molecular Mechanisms of Lupus Risk Conferred by Allele in the Gene for Interferon Response Factor 5
Dr. Brian Poole, Department of Microbiology & Molecular Biology Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met The academic objectives of this proposal were met. Using the funding provided by the MEG, we generated data that was used to publish four peer-reviewed journal articles and one peer-reviewed book chapter. These are: […]
RAGE and SAGE: Therapeutic Modalities for COPD
Paul Reynolds, Physiology and Developmental Biology Academic Objectives Met and Results Observed Funding available through this MEG award has provided an opportunity for me to meet many academic objectives I’ve determined to be important at BYU. We have been successful in conducting pilot studies that reveal possible roles for SAGEs in ameliorating mechanisms of lung […]
Multimodal Neuroimaging of Insomnia During Non-Rapid Eye Movement Sleep (MNI_NREM)
Daniel Kay Application Abstract The impact of insomnia on brain regions/networks during sleep may represent mechanisms through which insomnia contributes to the risk for mood disorders. As a first step toward understanding the risk relationship linking insomnia to mood disorders, this study will utilize functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with multimodal techniques to investigate alterations […]
Applying Acoustic Beamforming in Sub-Arrays to Jet Engine Noise
David Van Komen, Kent Gee and Tracianne Nielsen, Physics & Astronomy In Jet engine noise is a large and complex area of research due to the intricacies of the variety of different mechanisms that produce noise traveling in different directions. The dominate noise source is called turbulent mixing noise (TMN) which is created by the […]
Role of Electrical Synapses in Dopamine Transmission in the Brain
Josh Nelson, Seth Stapley and Scott Steffensen, Psychology Introduction- Drug addiction has long been a major detriment to society. Its pervasive effects can tear apart the lives of addicted individuals. Many of these individuals go without seeking professional help. In 2015, 22.7 million Americans (8.6 percent) needed treatment for a problem related to drugs or […]
Heterogenity of Private School Effects in Sub-Saharan Africa
Isaac Riley and Donald Baum, Education Leadership & Foundations Introduction The “private school effect” or “private school advantage” is often treated in the literature as monolithic and constant across countries (Srivastava and Walford 2007), and much of the debate is between two camps arguing whether private education helps or harms, with special emphasis on the […]
