Robert Blake and Dr. Matthew R. Linford, Chemistry and Biochemistry Silicon is one of the most abundant elements on the earth and has been used throughout history in a variety of applications. Because silicon is so widely used in the semiconductor and electronics industries, recent research has focused on altering the properties of silicon wafers. […]

Molecular Mechanism of Host Specificity in a Permissive Infectious Process
Joshua Sterling Bentley and Dr. Joel S. Griffitts, Micro and Molecular Biology vUnderstanding the molecular mechanism permitting symbiosis is not completely understood. A more confounding question is why do closely related bacteria demonstrate variable specificity? In my project we attempted to answer this very question by attempting to identify the gene or genes responsible for […]
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 […]
The Effects of Spoken and Written Words on the Fermentation and Decomposition Process of Rice
Janae Devika and Dr. Glenda Christiaens, School of Nursing Many studies have shown a relationship between positive words and enhanced health. In 2005 Masauro Emoto published a book “The Hidden Messages in Water” that gained popularity throughout the world. Emoto collected water samples, exposed them to positive or negative words, and then froze them. He […]
Development of a Measure for Child Psychotherapy Process and Outcome Research
Tyler Sasser and Dr. Jared Warren, Assistant Professor Department of Psychology The latest research has shown that 1 in 5 children meet criteria for a mental disorder and 1 in 10 children experience significant impairment in the family, school, and community due to a mental disorder (Huang et al., 2005). Unfortunately, only about one quarter […]
FROM CONCEPTION TO COMPLETION: A SUMMARY OF PROCESS AND PROGRESS
Shelley Mendenhall and Professor Gary Barton, Visual Arts The final results of my BFA show were much different than my original intentions. I had initially set out to create a series of triptychs using monotype, drypoint, collage, and drawing procedures, but I ended up abandoning the triptych format altogether. Instead, my show, which was on display […]
Optimization of Carbon Nanotube Aggregation Process and Other Work for the BYU Nanotechnology Research Group
David Brown and Dr. Robert Davis, Department of Physics and Astronomy In my two years of doing research at BYU, I’ve learned that the only true constant in the lab is change. Success in research seems to be determined not only by our hard work and preparation but also by our ability to be flexible […]
Numerical Processing in Infants: Differentiating Between Small and Large Groups of Number
Clark Van Den Berghe and Drs. Chris Porter and Ross Flom, Psychology Department Without even realizing it, our brain is constantly taking in information from our external environment. While some things take conscious effort, others happen with little or no thought. Vision is an enormous input, and our brain processes what it sees in order […]
The Role of Relationships in the Conversion Process: An LDS Sample
James W. Phillips and Dr. Kristin Hansen, Counseling and Career Center I consider this ORCA project to be a successful one on all accounts. The goals that were originally outlined at the onset of this project (forming an original research paper and presenting at a major academic conference) were met and future collaborations with Dr. […]
Development of a Simple Manufacturing Process for a Prosthetic Leg
Kyle Smith and Dr. Mark Colton, Mechanical Engineering Dept Introduction The purpose of this project was to develop a simple process to manufacture a useful and affordable prosthetic leg to be made available to below-the-knee amputees in a sub-Saharan African country. This project was motivated by a desire for learning and experience and also by […]
