Rational design of multifunctional enzyme-like catalysts for assembly-line chemical synthesis
David Michaelis – Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met The main objectives of this proposal was to publish our preliminary findings in peptide catalysis and then submit applications for external funding. Both of these objectives were accomplished during the grant period. In the Fall […]
Standardized Education for Parents Requesting an Immunization Exemption for School Entry in Utah: A Mentored Experience
Lacey Eden Academic and Mentoring Objectives As a pedagogical strategy, the purposes of this service-learning activity were two-fold: 1) to provide students with an organized service activity that also met identified community needs; and 2) to help augment the students’ learning, giving them a broader appreciation of any given discipline, and enhance their sense of […]
Effects of Acute Sleep Restriction on Neural Responding to Anticipated Peer Evaluation and Food Consumption in Overweight and Obese Adolescents
Chad D. Jensen, Ph.D., Department of Psychology Abstract Research conducted with adults has demonstrated increased neural response to high calorie food images among sleep-deprived individuals (Benedict et al., 2012). Furthermore, a significant body of research suggests that social stress increases risk for unhealthy food consumption. Research examining the neural underpinnings of the social stress suggests […]
2017 Archaeological Excavation – Ataruz, Jordan
Aaron Schade, Department of Ancient Scripture In January 2017 I received a MEG totaling $20,000 to conduct a multi-faceted project associated with the excavations at Khirbat Ataruz in Jordan, including capturing images of ancient artefacts and inscriptions using Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI). I am happy to report that the project was a success, and that […]
Do Support Groups for Medical Patients Reduce Risk for Mortality? A Meta-Analytic Review
Connor Workman, Dakota Jake, Daniel Rallison, Timothy Smith, PhD; Julianne Holt-Lunstad, PhD, Psychology Recent scientific findings show that loneliness is found among the highest predictors of mortality. This information could prove to be a major influence on future interventions for medical patients. However, the literature is inconclusive on how best to implement these findings in the real […]
The Predictive Validity of a Kindergarten Dynamic Assessment of Language
Veronica White and Douglas Petersen, Communication Disorders Introduction Kindergarten students are often administered screening instruments designed to identify weaknesses in emergent literacy skills. Unfortunately, these screeners, which only measure what a student currently knows, cannot validly differentiate between students who have low scores because of limited exposure, language/dialectal differences, or a disability. A more valid […]
Identifying Unknown Satellites
Nicholas Van Alfen and Joseph Moody, Physics & Astronomy Introduction Satellites are used for a wide range of purposes and by a wide range of organizations from private companies to governments. Specifically, what was of interest to us and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) with whom we collaborated was the need to identify different […]
