Lee Wood and Dr. Anthony Vance, Dept. of Information Systems The purpose of this research was to determine how features of the user interface of an information system could be designed to increase users’ perceptions of accountability within the system, and thereby decrease levels of unauthorized access. One of the most persistent problems of information […]

Increasing Phosphorus Use Efficiency with New Fertilizer Products in a Hydroponic System
Curtis Ransom and Dr. Von Jolley, Plant and Wildlife Science Food production is fundamental to our existence. A major component of modern agriculture is fertilizer, especially in terms of production to meet heavy demands of domesticated crops. Phosphorus (P) is one of the three major fertilizer components, and is known to be a limited resource. […]
Researching the Effects of Osteoarthritis as a Systemic Immune Response
Danielle Peterson and Dr. David Kooyman, Physiology and Developmental Biology Our bodies are dynamic structures that do not operate as individual compartments, but as a whole. When something goes awry in one specific tissue or organ, specific signals from that diseased area are released affect other tissues. I received an ORCA grant last year to […]
Japanese Sentence Parsing in an Artificial Intelligence System
Nathan Glenn and Dr. Deryle Lonsdale, Linguistics Abstract In this project, we created a Japanese sentence parser that functions within a cognitive modeling architecture known as Soar. It was created by modifying an existing English parser called XNL-Soar, which implements minimalist principles in syntactic parsing. Japanese lexical access is performed via GoSen and a Java […]
Conservation Of The Che And Pho Systems In Escherichia Coli
Kimberly B. Zumbrennen and Dr. William R. McCleary, Microbiology Bacteria live in a continuously changing environment. In order to survive, bacteria must monitor nutrients, acidity, temperature, osmolarity, etc. The use of two-component systems to sense and respond to these environmental changes is a common motif observed in a wide variety of organisms. A two-component system […]
Development of a One-piece, Aramid-polyurethane Bumper System For Automobiles
Brent Zollinger and Dr. Christopher Rotz, Mechanical Engineering The automobile bumper system—consisting primarily of a decorative fascia, structural cross-beam, and energy absorber—is an ideal candidate for redesign using advanced technology. This report examines a concept that integrates the three main components of the bumper system into one by using high-performance materials. A one-piece, aramid-polyurethane composite […]
The Effects of Combining Ultrasonic Frequency And Antibiotics to Escherichia Coli Biofilms in an in Vivo System
Rachel L. Robison and Dr. William G. Pitt, Chemical Engineering Prosthetic devices are commonly used in modern medicine. There are two types of prosthetic devices, implanted and transdermal. Implanted devices such as vascular grafts, heart valves, and prosthetic joints frequently become colonized by bacteria due to improper surgical techniques or post-operative infections.2 Transdermal devices such […]
Systems Integration of the Goldhelox X-ray Telescope
Paul F. Eastman and Dr. Thomas J. Utley, Jr., Mechanical Engineering The Project The GoldHelox X-Ray Telescope is an undergraduate project of the Brigham Young University Physics Department in conjunction with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It is a fully autonomous robotic telescope and camera system capable of converting x-rays in the range of […]
HYPERDIMENSIONAL JULIA SET GENERATION SYSTEM SOFTWARE
Kevin Steele, Computer Science ABSTRACT Chaos theory and fractal science is a recently developed technology. Julia Sets, a class of deterministic fractals, have been defined and rendered using computer software in only two and four dimensions. In my Research and Creative Work Scholarship application, I proposed to develop a software system to create and render […]
Synthesis of Systematically Varied Nucleosides as a Logical Approach Toward Inhibitor Design for Nucleoside Transport Proteins
Lars P.C. Nielsen and Dr. Morris J. Robins, Chemistry and Biochemistry Glucose transporter proteins constitute one class of transmembrane integral proteins that have received much attention in the current chemical literature. Many prominent groups have set out to explore their mechanisms, kinetics, and active sites. Studies have focussed on one of these in particular, Human […]
