Tyler Foulger, Michael Jones, and Nathan Bench, BYU Computer Science Introduction: The purpose of this MRI study was an attempt to discover and understand how communication is processed via the neural pathways of children ages 8-10. Analysis of the data we obtained would possibly help us in better adapting our head-mounted display (HMD) technology for […]

BYU COMPUTATIONAL NUMBER THEORY RESEARCH GROUP DAVID CARDON, DARRIN DOUD, PAUL JENKINS, AND PACE NIELSEN
Pace Nielsen, Mathematics Evaluation of Academic Objectives In the years 2013-2014 we held a weekly seminar in which every supported student gave presentations at least once (but usually twice or more) per semester. This gave the students opportunities to learn and develop presentations skills, which will help them later in their careers. It also gave […]
PHARM: An Environment for Physical Acoustics Research and Mentoring
Kent L Gee and Tracianne B Neilsen, Physics and Astronomy Mentoring Environment Overview PHARM (PHysical Acoustics Research and Mentoring) has been operating partially with support from a MEG grant. The primary purpose of this mentoring environment is to provide undergraduates in Physics and Applied Physics opportunities to gain experience in fundamental areas of physical acoustics. […]
Development of Student Research Resources and Training Material for Functional and Structural MRI-Based Research at BYU
Professor Neal K Bangerter, Electrical & Computer Engineering and Professors Erin Bigler and Brock Kirwan, Psychology Overview This project was aimed at providing in-depth training and mentoring for a small group of students to address the large anticipated demand for accessible research and training resources at BYU’s new MRI Research Facility. The facility opened summer […]
Researching the Restoration of the Melchizedek Priesthood
Nathan Richardson, Dr. Michael Hubbard MacKay, Church History and Doctrine Many historians, both Mormon and non-Mormon, have developed ideas about the restoration of the priesthood, and there is a rich literature that describes the details of those events. However, the Joseph Smith Papers Project, for which my mentor, Dr. MacKay is an author, has uncovered […]
Visual Research of Delacroix
Drew Rane and Professor Peter Everett, Studio Arts The paintings of Eugene Delacroix show an exception power and emotion. Delacroix uses the human figure and color in order to express emotion. There continues to be an important place for the use of representation of the human figure in contemporary art. This is through the expressive […]
Research of Baleen Whale Bioacoustics using a Synthetic Whale Larynx Model
Nelson Warner and Dr. Scott Thomson, Mechanical Engineering Introduction Although extensive research has been performed to document whale songs, we have little understanding of how baleen whales produce their sound. This project was to create a physical model of a sei whale larynx (voice box) to study the source of vocal production in baleen whales. […]
ORCA Undergraduate Research Award – Final Report
Michael Daetwyler While working on my undergraduate degree, I studied an interesting strain of Staphylococcus epidermidis. This particular strain produced an unidentified substance, which was lethal to other Gram-positive bacteria. I immediately thought that this substance might prove advantageous in treating infections caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria. To begin investigating that possibility, I grew the […]
Attribute Extraction for Web Page Clustering in Web People Searches
Joseph Park and Dr. David Embley, Computer Science The disambiguation of person names in web people searches is a long standing problem within the semantic search community. A query such as the name “Henry Eyring” would produce thousands of results with references to more than one entity with that same name. In order to mitigate […]
Searching for Nascent Peptides that Cause Ribosome Stalling
Shankar Parajuli and Dr. Allen Buskirk, Chemistry and Biochemistry Ribosomes are molecular machines that synthesize all the proteins for all living cells. Ribosomes sometimes stall and cannot complete the synthesis of a given protein. Some peptides interact with the ribosome during their own translation and induce stalling.1 The SecM and TnaC peptides in E. coli, […]
