Justin Gardiner and Richard Evans, Department of Economics Introduction Many macroeconomic models have trouble matching the high end of the distribution of wealth in the economy. To correct this problem, we set out to build a model that includes individual agents experiencing stochastic changes to their income levels. These stochastic changes thus model real life […]

Identifying Binary Brown Dwarf Systems Using Model Point Spread Functions
Kyle Matt and Denise Stephens, Department of Physics and Astronomy Department The purpose of this project was to improve upon a method for discovering binary brown dwarf systems, and create a program to speed up the implementation of that method. A Brown Dwarf (BD) is a celestial object that is not massive enough to undergo […]
Modeling political improvement through statistical analysis of New Zealand’s Youth
Norton, Abigail Modeling political improvement through statistical analysis of New Zealand’s Youth Faculty mentor: Steve Thomsen, School of Communications Some things look better on paper than in person. Prior to my three-month stay in New Zealand, I wrongly assumed that the country’s history of economic success and involved voters would translate to somewhere without conflict. […]
Understanding Birth Defects by Establishing Glutathione Ontogeny in a Chick Embryo Model
Mackay, Ryan Understanding Birth Defects by Establishing Glutathione Ontogeny in a Chick Embryo Model Dr. Jason Hansen – Physiology & Developmental Biology Introduction Most chemicals known to cause birth defects have been shown to induce oxidative stress – a disruption in intracellular redox signaling. The overall purpose of this research is to better understand how […]
Integration of Microsimulation Model Into Dynamic Scoring Model
Rytting, Chris Integration of Microsimulation Model Into Dynamic Scoring Model Faculty Mentor: Richard Evans, Economics We integrated individual tax rates produced by a microsimulation tax policy model with a dynamic general equilibrium tax policy model. We can use this to conduct macroeconomic analysis or score hypothetical tax policies. This approach captures the rich heterogeneity, realistic […]
Modelling Climate Suitability for Ephedra viridis in Space and Time
Thomas, Anne Modelling Climate Suitability for Ephedra viridis in Space and Time Faculty Mentor: Richard Gill, Biology Introduction Climate change is expected to decrease soil moisture in the sensitive, water-limited ecosystems of America’s southwestern deserts, leading to shifts in plant distributions and altering ecosystem function. Studies have already documented the loss of desert grasses and […]
Development of a model for adult T cell leukemia in HTLV-1 infected humanized mice
Smith, Matthew Development of a model for adult T cell leukemia in HTLV-1 infected humanized mice Faculty Mentor: Dr. Brad Berges, Department of Microbiology and Molecular Biology Introduction Millions of people in the world are infected with human T-lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1). As the name states, this virus attacks the T cells of the infected […]
Development of an Animal Model in Which to Study HIV-2
Rasmussen, Taalin Development of an Animal Model in Which to Study HIV-2 Faculty Mentor: Berges, Bradford Microbiology and Molecular Biology Introduction Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) attacks and destroys the cells of the immune system necessary to mounting an effective immune response to successfully fight off infection. Unchecked, an HIV infection leads to a gradual deterioration […]
The Effect of Gut Microbiota on Cancer Metastasis in Model Organism D. Melanogaster: Establishing an Abnormal Genetic Line of D. Melanogaster
Bratsman, Andrew The Effect of Gut Microbiota on Cancer Metastasis in Model Organism D. Melanogaster: Establishing an Abnormal Genetic Line of D. Melanogaster Faculty Mentor: Prof. John Chaston, Plant and Wildlife Sciences Introduction As early as the beginning of the 20th century, Metchnikoff proposed that putrefactive bacteria living in the digestive tracts of hosts contribute […]
