The Marvelous American Reality: Making A Case For Carpentier’S Magical Realism In Latin American Music, Erika Edwards, Dr. Arden Hopkin, Dr. George Handley

Journal of Undergraduate Research

In 1949 the Nobel Prize-winning Cuban novelist and musicologist, Alejo Carpentier, published his essay on lo real maravilloso Americano, an aggressively American discussion of the theory now known as magical realism. Carpentier refers to the German art critic Franz Roh (who initially coined the term in reference to post-expressionist painting in 1925), but diverges and defends magical realism as a uniquely Latin American phenomenon. While the world has latched onto Magical Realism as a critical literary theory, it is undeniably the Latin American authors and artists who have embraced, embodied and defined the practice of it. Carpentier asserts that the …

Illustrations For Aesop’S Fables: The Creation Of A Series With A Preliminary Historical And Aesthetic Analysis, Alisa L. Gordon, Robert Barrett, Richard Hull

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Aesop’s fables are some of the most well known stories, as well as some of the most widely illustrated. They are typically very short, have only a few characters, and have a simple plot. Consequently, the stories provide excellent subject matters for pieces in my illustration portfolio. I can communicate a story in one image, be imaginative, and still expect the story to be recognizable. Art directors will immediately be able to assess my visual story-telling abilities as well as my creativity through my interpretation of some of these well known stories. My objective is to create a series of …

Techniques Of Ceramic Artists In Senegal, West Africa, Amy Beth Harrison, Von Allen

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Information is essential for ceramic artists to increase technical knowledge and as a source of inspiration. With the chance of visiting Senegal, West Africa on a study abroad, I wanted to take advantage of my time there to research the techniques of ceramic artists. My goal was to find out how ceramic artists were working and present this information to students at BYU. I also wanted to acknowledge the contributions of undocumented artists.

The Gothic Revival, David Amott, Dr. Cynthia Finlayson

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The Gothic Revival was an important architectural movement of the nineteenth century. It was a result of the nineteenth century Romantic fascination with the Middle Ages. People looked to that era for inspiration in all arts, including architecture. The United States had no authentic Gothic background, so the architect Richard Upjohn became a key player in the Gothic Revival movement there. He transplanted the style of architecture from his native England to the young nation. Among his many commissions were the Trinity Church and the Church of the Holy Communion, both located in New York City.

Lemmings: A Student Animation, Craig Paul Van Dyke, Dr. Brent R. Adams

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Lemmings brought together eighteen students for one full year to work on a 5 minute computer animation. Such a learning experience broke the bonds of a normal artistic and technical education; it became a lesson in teamwork, leadership and hard work. The entire animation was student run and directed.

The Promethean, A Modern Retelling Of The Greek Myth Prometheus, Was Completed In March Of 2003., J. Chad Erekson, Kelly Loosli

Journal of Undergraduate Research

At this point in time, most BYU animation projects have avoided lip sync. The Industrial Design Department produced a computer animated film called Rupert which had some crude imprecise mouth movements to suggest lip sync, but for the most part every traditionally animated project has tried to do complete pantomime, or use narration. With the undertaking of Lion & the Mouse, accurate lip sync was to be attempted, but as production progressed, students still only tackled the non-speaking scenes in their animations. Thus was my motivation for this project. If the lip sync in Lion & the Mouse was to …

Action Principle For Continuous Quantum Measurement, A. Chantasri, Justin Dressel, Andrew N. Jordan

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

We present a stochastic path integral formalism for continuous quantum measurement that enables the analysis of rare events using action methods. By doubling the quantum state space to a canonical phase space, we can write the joint probability density function of measurement outcomes and quantum state trajectories as a phase space path integral. Extremizing this action produces the most likely paths with boundary conditions defined by preselected and postselected states as solutions to a set of ordinary differential equations. As an application, we analyze continuous qubit measurement in detail and examine the structure of a quantum jump in the Zeno …

Winners, Losers, Workers, Slackers: Studies Examining The Effort-Related Motivational Symptoms Of Depression Using The Progressive Ratio / Chow Feeding Choice Procedure, Patrick A. Randall

Doctoral Dissertations

Organisms frequently make effort-related decisions in order to overcome obstacles separating them from significant stimuli. Effort-related behavioral processes are an important aspect of motivation, and effort-related motivational dysfunctions can be critical symptoms of depression and other disorders. The current work explores the use of a novel operant task, the concurrent progressive ratio (PROG)/chow feeding choice task. Rats tested on the PROG/chow feeding task are given a choice between lever pressing on a progressive ratio for preferred food pellets vs. approaching and consuming the less preferred lab chow that is concurrently available.

K-12 Design Education, Creativity, And The Corporate World, Robin Vande Zande

Learn X Design Conference Series

Creativity has been described by a number of researchers as a 21st Century Skill and a way for students to succeed as learners, workers, and citizens. The corporate sector has had tremendous impact on what happens in American education for years and continues to do so. Teachers should understand that it is often beneficial to speak the language of business and cite corporate authors to offer validation for what they teach as being essential for creative skills. An effective way for teachers to teach creativity in the context of business is through design education, a natural integrator of various subject …

Zebrafish Cytosolic Carboxypeptidases 1 And 5 Are Essential For Embryonic Development, Peter J. Lyons, Matthew R. Sapio, Lloyd D. Fricker

Faculty Publications

The cytosolic carboxypeptidases (CCPs) are a subfamily of metalloenzymes within the larger M14 family of carboxypeptidases that have been implicated in the post-translational modification of tubulin. It has been suggested that at least four of the six mammalian CCPs function as tubulin deglutamylases. However, it is not yet clear whether these enzymes play redundant or unique roles within the cell. To address this question, genes encoding CCPs were identified in the zebrafish genome. Analysis by quantitative polymerase chain reaction indicated that CCP1, CCP2, CCP5, and CCP6 mRNAs were detectable between 2 h and 8 days postfertilization with highest levels 5–8 …

An Expanded View Of The Eukaryotic Cytoskeleton, James B. Moseley

Dartmouth Scholarship

A rich and ongoing history of cell biology research has defined the major polymer systems of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. Recent studies have identified additional proteins that form filamentous structures in cells and can self-assemble into linear polymers when purified. This suggests that the eukaryotic cytoskeleton is an even more complex system than previously considered. In this essay, I examine the case for an expanded definition of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton and present a series of challenges for future work in this area.

The Accidental Agency?, Sapna Kumar

Florida Law Review

This Article presents a new model for examining the role of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Federal Circuit) with regard to patent law, positing that the Federal Circuit behaves like an agency and serves as the de facto administrator of the Patent Act. The Federal Circuit has traditionally engaged in a form of substantive rulemaking by issuing mandatory bright-line rules that bind the public. In reviewing patent agency appeals, the Federal Circuit acts more like an agency than a court by minimizing agency deference through the manipulation of standards of review and administrative law doctrines. This position …

Resurrecting Deference To The Securities And Exchange Commission: Mark Cuban Trading On Inside Information, Steven J. Cleveland

Florida Law Review

By applying the Supreme Court‘s administrative law jurisprudence to the examination of the validity of Rule 10b5-2(b)(1)—a rule recently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission)—this Article fills a significant gap in the existing literature. To date, commentators have argued against the rule‘s validity by applying the Supreme Court‘s securities law jurisprudence without considering the role of administrative law—despite the Court‘s comments that the pertinent statute is ambiguous, despite express delegation of rulemaking authority by Congress to the Commission, and despite developments in administrative law subsequent to the Court‘s relevant securities law decisions. By not considering the role of …

Diffuse Migratory Connectivity In Two Species Of Shrubland Birds: Evidence From Stable Isotopes, Steven T. Knick, Matthias Leu, John T. Rotenberry, Steven E. Hanser, Kurt A. Fesenmyer

Articles

Connecting seasonal ranges of migratory birds is important for understanding the annual template of stressors that influence their populations. Brewer’s sparrows (Spizella breweri) and sagebrush sparrows (Artemisiospiza nevadensis) share similar sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) habitats for breeding but have different population trends that might be related to winter location. To link breeding and winter ranges, we created isoscapes of deuterium [stable isotope ratio (δ) of deuterium; δ ²H] and nitrogen (δ ¹⁵N) for each species modeled from isotope ratios measured in feathers of 264 Brewer’s and 82 sagebrush sparrows and environmental …

Mutations Of Pdd1 Chromo- And Chromoshadow Domains Reveal Critical Functions For Each During Development Of Tetrahymena Thermophila, Rachel Schwope

All Theses and Dissertations (ETDs)

Pdd1 is a developmentally expressed HP1-like protein of Tetrahymena thermophila that is required during conjugation, when a copy of the cell's transcriptionally silent germline micronucleus differentiates into an active somatic macronucleus. Differentiation of these somatic chromosomes involves genome-wide fragmentation and amplification. These DNA rearrangements are facilitated by an RNAi mechanism, in which small RNAs target silencing histone modifications, H3K9 and H3K27 methylation, to Internal Eliminated Sequences: IESs), which are bound by Pdd1 and later excised from the genome. Pdd1 features two chromodomains, one of which shares homology with that of HP1, and a C-terminal chromoshadow domain. In this study, we …

Identification And Developmental Profiling Of Micrornas In Diamondback Moth, Plutellaxylostella (L.), Pei Liang, Bing Feng, Xuguo Zhou, Xiwu Gao

Entomology Faculty Publications

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small RNAs involved in various biological processes through negative regulation of mRNAs at the post-transcriptional level. Although miRNA profiles have been documented in over two dozen insect species, few are agricultural pests. In this study, both conserved and novel miRNAs in the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L., a devastating insect pest of cruciferous crops worldwide, were documented. High-throughput sequencing of a small RNA library constructed from a mixed life stages of P. xylostella, including eggs, 1st to 4th (last) instar larvae, pupae and adults, identified 384 miRNAs, of which 174 were P. xylostella specific. …
