Show moreThe objective of IPRO 341 is to assist Versatility Tool Works with the design, testing, and marketing of an industrial strength tool cabinet. Ideally, one or more of the drawers in the cabinet should be capable of holding 450 pounds of equipment, and have a lifespan of 20,000 cycles. (One (1) cycle is defined as one opening and closing of the drawer.) Extra features to include in the design of the cabinet will also be investigated to try to make the cabinet more marketable. However, it will be important to first determine what progress has been made thus far so that this semester’s design improvements can be better demonstrated.

Show moreThe Mont e Carlo (II IC) Method is commonly used to approximat e mult ivariat e integrals, which can be interpreted as means of random variab les. The IIIC method uses th e sample mean to estimate the tr ue mean. In this thesis, we focus on minimizing th e sample size in MC simulat ion needed to sat isfy the specified error tolerance. Based on t he algorithm proposed by [5], we explain that t he cost of reliable IIIe est imat ion depends not only on variance but also on kurtosis. T herefore, when we try to improve th e efficiency of MC simulation by reducing variance, such as with Importance Sampling (IS), we need also look into the change of kurtosis. We analyze the change of cost in terms of the change of kur tosis and the change of variance. For a special case of IS we explore how to find th e optimal density in order to reduce variance.

Show moreIn 1983, a group of students from the Institute of Design at Illinois Institute of Technology began work on a project that described what a house of the future would entail. This team ended up winning the grand prize (10,000,000 yen) at the first International Design Competition held in Osaka, Japan because their creative and innovative ideas about how a house of the future should be built 22 years later, in 2005, IIT’s Interprofessional Projects program started the Sustainable Village Project, an endeavor to build a sustainable and environmentally-aware community on the IIT campus. Part of this project was to design the house of the future in such a fashion as would fit in with the Sustainable Village. Through use of research both in the 1983 House of the Future, as well as the House of the Future developed in the spring of 2005, this semester IPRO 301 – Back to the House of the Future had the task of establishing a system of ideas and concepts which could be globally integrated to change the way modern housing is viewed and approached by builders and residents alike. Instead of simply being a structure that disrupts the environment and depletes natural resources, the house of the future will allow for the building of units which can be integrated into the environment and are more sustainable and efficient. By developing a methodology based on next-generation design principles, key technological advances, and considerations for building regulations and human health and safety concerns, IPRO 301 will lay a universal framework for constructing Houses of the Future of all shapes and sizes.

Show moreThe purpose of the Inflatable Greenhouse IPRO was to design an air supported structure that was cheaper than the current greenhouse solution. The structural support of current greenhouses creates shadows that prevent an even sunlight exposure for the plants. The other issues we investigated were the cost, size, thermal control, and pest control of current greenhouse designs. The majority of the cost for a traditional greenhouse goes towards the structural support therefore an air supported structure should be significantly cheaper. The basic greenhouse design is oriented towards human occupants and is subsequently quite large. If the greenhouse was instead designed to house the plants already in the ground, just for the months that they needed shelter to grow, the cut back in size would also greatly affect the cost. We also looked into the thermal qualities of greenhouses. The very nature of a greenhouse absorbs and traps the light and heat of the sun. Without a cooling system a greenhouse can overheat and harm the plants within it. The other problem we found with current greenhouses was the pest control solution. Most greenhouses use strong chemicals that require special training for use and safety. Even the “organic” solutions use natural chemicals in concentrations considered toxic. Our goal was to design a greenhouse that would address each of these issues with a cheap and practical solution.

Show moreIn this thesis, evidence for antiferromagnetic spin uctuations as the pairing glue in high temperature superconductors is presented through a modi ed Eliashberg analysis of experimental tunneling data of Bi2212 over a wide range of doping. In particular, the normalized conductance data of the junctions, from optimal to overdoped, will be tted at T=0K using d-wave Eliashberg equations where the spectral function is modeled after spin uctuation spectra seen in experiments. The corresponding real and imaginary diagonal and anomalous self-energy curves are extracted and compare well to photoemission experiments. This is followed by a temperature dependent Eliashberg analysis where the spectral function is now temperature dependent, based on trends seen in inelastic neutron scattering experiments. New results for temperature dependent self energy curves are also compared to experiment with slight deviations. Finally, the Josephson product is calculated as an independent check of the tunneling matrix used in tting the data.
