Frequency Response of Skin Vibration on the Head and Neck during Speech
Ben Pence and Dr. Scott Thomson, Mechanical Engineering During speech, the vocal folds vibrate resulting in audible sounds. In addition to being transmitted through the vocal tract these vibrations are also transmitted through several layers of various types of tissue throughout the head and neck, resulting in small, but measurable, skin surface vibration. Contact microphones […]
Generalized Qualitative Response Models
Brad Larsen and Dr. James McDonald, Economics Qualitative response (QR) models are used by economists, biometricians, epidemiologists, statisticians, and others to estimate the effect of certain variables on a binary (“yes” or “no”) response. For example, economists use QR models to answer the question, “What factors influence a woman’s decision to work? For years, biometricians […]
An Adaptive Bayesian Approach to Dose-Response Modeling
Thomas J. Leininger and Dr. C. Shane Reese, Statistics The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for testing and screening clinical drugs before market entry. The screening process involves different phases which determine a drug’s potency, recommended dosage, and potential side effects. Current statistical designs used to model the efficacy of a drug at varying […]
THE BEHAVIORAL RESPONSE OF THE BOXELDER BUG WITH RESPECT TO SUSPECT SEMIOCHEMICALS
Jared Steven Nielsen and Dr. Gary M. Booth, Philosophy The boxelder bug, Boisea trivattatus, is a common structural and agricultural insect pest found throughout North America. Unfortunately, current pest management methods are not effective for controlling boxelder bug populations. If discovered and developed attractants would provide an effective and environmentally responsible solution to boxelder bug […]
CONSTRUCTING WAVELETS WITH GOOD FREQUENCY RESPONSE AND TWO VANISHING MOMENTS
Chad Lillian and Dr. Andrew D. Pollington, Mathematics Recruitment of loudness is a hearing impairment in which certain frequency ranges are not as audible as others. If a common hearing aid is used to remedy this problem all frequencies will be amplified and there will be no advantage. The solution to this problem is a […]
A Pilot Study: Relaxation Response to Vocal Training Intervention in Nursing Students
Leah Dymock and Dr. Glenda Christiaens, College of Nursing As a profession, nursing requires a constant balance between professional standards, individual values, and patient needs (Luquette, 2007.) These responsibilities lead to stress, compassion fatigue, and burnout (ibid.) Thus it follows that an implicit part of nursing school is learning to care for another person without […]
Inflammation and Apoptosis in Developing Dmm, cho, and sedc Articular Cartilage: The Role of the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR)
Caitlin Nichols and Dr. Laura Bridgewater, Department of Microbiology and Molecular Biology Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine whether the Dmm, cho, and sedc mutations in mice collagen genes activate unfolded protein response (UPR) pathways in developing cartilage tissues. The inflammation or cell death triggered by the UPR may contribute to the […]
Different Developmental Outcomes Following Lab Rearing by Biological or Adoptive Mothers: Maternal Influence on Behavioral and Physiological Responses to Separation Stress in Rhesus Macaques (Macacamulatta)
Andrea Sorenson and Dr. James D. Higley, Psychology Department Initially this project was looking at the effects that multiple short term separations of a mother rhesus macaque from their infant would have on their relationship. More specifically, looking at adoption pairs (an infant raised by a non biological mother) to see if the relationship between […]
