Reverse-Engineering Gene Networks that can Remember Using the Manifold Boundary Approximation Method
Andrew White and Mark Transtrum, Department of Physics and Astronomy Introduction Observable biological behaviors result from the interactions of microscopic elements, which form complex systems that we can model mathematically. Ideally, mechanistic models should predict a biological system’s behavior without misrepresenting the system’s biochemistry. The method of model reduction known as the Manifold Boundary Approximation […]

Network of Sensing Environment (N.O.S.E.)
Kuo-Chih Lo and Faculty Mentor: Hansen, Derek (Information Technology) About two years ago, there is a huge explosion that killed many people, most of them are fire fighters, in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan R.O.C. Therefore I come up with the sensor new work idea, aka N.O.S.E Project. This project is formed by sensor combo network. Any […]
Analysis of the Salary Gap in the Library Workforce
Sean Miner and Faculty Mentor: Quinn Galbraith, HBLL, Family Life and Sociology Since 1980, the Associate of Research Libraries (ARL) has annually published a comprehensive salary survey that provides useful information on librarian salaries, separating them by institution, personal characteristics, and other factors. At the beginning of each of the surveys, ARL has documented many […]
The Power of Progress in Positive Identity Work
Rolf David Dixon Jr. and Jeff Bednar, Organizational Leadership and Strategy Introduction The retention of employees is a major financial and cultural concern for almost all organizations.

From Staged Reading to Fully Staged Models for Academic Production of New Works
Preston Yates and Timothy Threllfall, Theatre and Media Arts Last January at BYU, we had the incredible opportunity to work with one of Broadway’s best composures, Frank Wildhorn. This came about due to a master class that Frank was holding at BYU in October of 2013. He was very impressed with the level of talent […]
Obrajes, Andean Workers, and the Spanish Elite: Hegemony and Hierarchy in Peru’s Late-Colonial Era
Taylor Cozzens and Dr. Jeffrey Shumway, Department of History Introduction Obrajes were textile shops in early Latin America. From the mid-1500s onward, Spanish colonists in Mexico and Peru established obrajes to produce fabrics for local societies. Labor for these shops was often coerced. My research focused on the Peruvian obrajes of the late-colonial era (roughly […]
