Jordan E. Brough and Dr. Larry Howell, Mechanical Engineering Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) is a rapidly developing field which uses technology similar to that used to carve out the millions of tiny channels found in today’s computer processors. MEMS, however, uses this technology to make mechanical structures and mechanisms instead of electrical pathways. My effort over […]

The Effect of Substrate Structure on the Cleavage Efficiency of TRNA 3′ Processing Endoribonuclease
Susanna M. Geary and Dr. Roger Kaspar, Chemistry and Biochemistry Viruses insert DNA or RNA into host cells and use the cell’s resources to make proteins designed to propagate the virus. Viral proteins can cause disease, as can defective proteins from faulty or damaged genes. The enzyme, tRNA 3′ processing endoribonuclease (also called 3′ tRNase) […]
Computer Simulation of Microstructures Based on Two-point Correlation Functions
Benjamin L. Hansen and Dr. Brent Adams, Mechanical Engineering A great amount of variance exists in the properties of any material. The ability to accurately predict these properties allows for designers to find the “best” material in highly constrained design situations. Many properties, such as elasticity and conductivity, are relatively insensitive to grain boundary interfaces […]
Structure and Dimensions of Maternal Perceptions of Japanese and American Child Temperament
Kenichi Shimokawa and Dr. David Shwalb, Psychology The study of temperament has an important part in furthering our understanding about human development. Although the word “temperament” is defined in various ways by researchers, two leading theorists defined it as “constitutionally based individual differences in emotional, motor, and attentional reactivity and self-regulation” (Rothbart & Bates, 1997, […]
The Impact of Political Opportunity Structure on Anti-U.S. Military Base Movement Outcomes: Case Studies on Okinawa and the Philippines
Ryan M. Scoville and Dr. Ray Christensen, Political Science Two years ago, I traveled to Okinawa to interview head office staff for two of Japan’s biggest political parties and an editor for the Ryukyu Shinbun—Okinawa’s largest newspaper. While on the island I also collected Okinawan voting records for the past two decades of mayoral and […]
The Integration of Small Diameter IsoTrussÔ Structures to a Bicycle Frame
Rodney B. Boynton and Dr. David W. Jensen, Civil and Environmental Engineering In order to fully explore the capabilities of the IsoTrussÔ Structure in a light weight application it was decided to replace not only the main tubes of a bicycle frame, but the rear tubing as well. Several of the initially proposed steps to […]
TNF: Structure and Function
Raymond W. Grams II and Dr. David A. McClellan, Integrative Biology TNF-á is a cytokine released from activated macrophages and mast cells. It was identified a little over three decades ago as a protein responsible for lysis of certain types of cells, with specificity for tumor cells. Despite hopes as an anti-tumor agent, significant cytotoxic […]
ISOLATION, STRUCTURE IDENTIFICATION AND CYTOTOXIC STUDIES OF BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE COMPOUNDS IN CARICA PAPAYA OF GHANA
Kurtis S. Staples and Dr. Steven G. Wood, Chemistry and Biochemistry Carica papaya, commonly known as the papaya plant, is found in large abundance throughout the tropical regions of the planet. The fruit of the plant has been extensively studied with papain, a protease, being the center of research. Preliminary studies showed that compounds found […]
Second Grader’s Comprehension of Expository Text: Examining the Effectiveness of Text Structure as a Comprehension Strategy
Michelle Marie McClellan and Dr. Kendra M. Hall, Teacher Education Teaching students to read is one of the most important aspects taught in an elementary classroom and often is one of the harder concepts to teach. Teachers use many different strategies when they teach students to read. One method of teaching the students is to […]
Development of Algorithms for the Manipulation of Non-commutative Structures in Quantum Theory
Mark Transtrum and Dr. Jean-Francois Van Huele, Physics and Astronomy Quantum mechanics is one of the fundamental theories of physics. Its formal mathematical description is marked by the appearance of non-commutative operators. The non-commutativity provides a rich mathematical language appropriate for describing quantum theory. The commutator of two operators is defined as the difference between […]
