Show moreRecreational fishing in the United States generates over a billion dollars of economic output and providing well over a million American’s with jobs. There are many variations of fishing hooks available that retain the same basic shape and structure, the most popular examples being, the standard J-hook and the standard treble hook. However, there are many limitations associated with existing fishing hooks. One such limitation is that fishing hooks are not able to reliably hold the fish after embedding. Introducing a barb to the hook helps resolve this issue, doing so however creates problems when setting the hook and furthermore, barbs can cause damage to the fish during the removal of the hook. Another concern is that contemporary fishing hooks have problems with snagging on nearby rock formations, algae, weeds, or other vegetation in the water.

Show moreIPRO 364: Ramovation has the great opportunity to assist our community partner, Save the Ramova organization, in the development of preliminary design and business opportunity assessments for the renovation of the Ramova Theater. IPRO 364 is a continuing IPRO from the spring 2011 semester. From the spring semester, the IPRO 364 team created a preliminary program for the Ramova Theater renovation. The preliminary program was informed by analysis gathered from three research methods: case studies on other theater renovations, survey responses from the Bridgeport neighborhood and surrounding colleges, and contextual studies on neighborhoods similar to Bridgeport. A preliminary budget for the renovation was also determined. To tackle the summer 2011 IPRO workload, the summer team will divide into several sub groups which include the Design/Clean Energy Group, Budget/Finance Group, Case Study/Survey Group, and the Interview Group. In the summer semester, the IPRO team will expand on the preliminary program and preliminary budget created by the spring team. The IPRO group hopes the output from the Spring 2011, Summer 2011, and subsequent semesters will assist the Save the Ramova organization in presenting Ramova Theater renovation ideas to key stakeholders and also help spur development on the Halsted St. corridor of Bridgeport.

Show moreIndia’s huge and growing population is putting severe strain on all of the country’s natural resources. Most water sources are used on a domestic, industrial and agricultural basis. The quality of the water used is presumed to be the major problem that the people face, but the real problem is the quantity of water supplied. Quite a few organizations have been engaged with supplying drinking water to the community, but still not enough to address the needs of all the different sectors of the community, especially irrigation. In order to increase the availability of water to the people, it is necessary that the people have alternative means of supply of water, and a strong sense of the value of water.

Title: OPTIMAL SIGNAL TIMING DESIGN FOR URBAN STREET NETWORKS UNDER USER EQUILIBRIUM BASED TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
Creator: Liu, Yi

Description: In the ever-growing travel demand, traffic congestion on freeways and expressways recurs more frequently at a higher number of locations and...
Show moreIn the ever-growing travel demand, traffic congestion on freeways and expressways recurs more frequently at a higher number of locations and for longer durations with added severity. This becomes especially true in large metropolitan areas. Particular to the urban areas, excessive crowdedness caused by inefficient traffic control also results in urban street networks operating in near or over-saturated conditions, leading to unpleasant travel experience due to long delays at intersections. As a consequence, the recurrent traffic congestion on roadway segments and vehicle delays at intersections inevitably compromise energy efficiency, traffic mobility improvement, safety enhancement, and environmental impacts mitigation. All too often, neither restraining travel demand nor expanding system capacity is desirable and practical. Conversely, effectively utilizing the capacity of the existing transportation system has been increasingly thought of as the solution to congestion relief. With respect to the urban street networks, developing effective means for urban intersection signal optimization becomes essential to reduce intersection delays. Conventional signal timing optimization methods use historical traffic data and assume that traffic flows will remains unchanged after the implementation of new signal timing plans. Traffic flows are assumed to be constant, but in fact, when signal timing plans change, travel times for some travel routes will alter, which requires drivers in the network to adjust their choice of travel routes to arrive at the destinations, and result in redistribution of traffic in the network. Therefore, the effects of interactions between signal timing plans and traffic flows need to be explicitly taken into consideration. This study introduces a new methodology that jointly considers signal timing optimization and traffic assignment in an overall analytical framework that contains model formulations under assumptions consistent with real world situations. Such a framework is well suited for applications in real world cases. Specifically, the overall optimization framework is formulated as a bilevel optimization problem. In the proposed basic model, at the upper level, a traffic signal timing optimization problem for urban network is introduced to minimize system total travel time by optimizing signal green splits. At the lower level, a static user equilibrium problem is formulated for networkwide traffic assignment. In the vehicle delay estimation, the time-dependent stochastic delay model in the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM 2010) is employed and formulated as Variational Inequality constraints, what allow the state-of-the-art MPEC solver, GAMS/NLPEC, to solve the problem for a local optimal effectively and efficiently. The bi-level optimization model is first tested using a small network (the test network) and a computational experiment using a subarea network in the Chicago central district is conducted to assess the practicality of the model formulation in real world applications. In order to import more reality to the basic model and also consider the potential system benefit that comes from different signal phasing design, an enhanced model is developed based on the basic model by employing integer and binary variables. Formulating the problem with binary variables allows for the selection of proper phasing design. Heuristic solution methods are proposed and tested using the test network.

Title: DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF THE KIRIE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT MODEL

Show moreThe Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) is tasked with protecting the public’s water supply and improving the quality of water in their service area’s watercourses. Principal in this mission are the seven wastewater treatment plants that are operated by MWRDGC. The greater Chicago area possesses a combined sewer system (CSS) that combines sanitary sewage and stormwater runoff. Because of this CSS, water reclamation plants are burdened with not only processing sewage and sanitary waste, but also stormwater runoff. As a result there can be a large variation in water quality and quantity. MWRDGC’s newest water reclamation plant is the James C. Kirie Water Reclamation Plant, which was completed in 1980. This plant operates as a nitrification plant with no separate distinct denitrification process. It is important to note that no clearly defined unit processes such as nitrification towers are utilized at the Kirie Water Reclamation Plant. Nitrification occurs primarily in the aeration basins and is currently sufficient to meet water quality standards. However, because of the current regulatory climate, stricter standards on effluent discharge are likely in the near future especially with respect to nutrients. Stricter standards on total nitrogen in effluent instead of the current ammonia limits are one such expected water quality change. As a result of this expectation, modeling modifications and processes at a treatment plant can be a key tool in adjusting to evolving standards. Because water reclamation plants vary greatly depending on their technology, influent and processes, computer modeling provides a convenient way to assess how the plant will react to dynamic changes in influent quality and still be able to meet static effluent standards. Although computer modeling has been applied to water reclamation plants for some time now, there are no clearly defined or accepted protocols for this modeling. Combined with the variation exhibited by various types of water reclamation plants, often modeling protocols must be custom created for individual plants or types of plants. What follows is a study and simulation of the Kirie Water Reclamation Plant. Simulation was used to examine wet weather events at the Kirie Water Reclamation Plant. Wet weather phenomena were explored in step-wise manner to determine the relative effects of different perturbations in influent water quality and quantity. The results show the various effects in effluent quality depending upon the variable or combination of variables deviated. Deviations in temperature and flow dominate all other variations simulated and result in the largest effect on effluent water quality. Deviations of 50% to both temperature and flow simultaneously yielded an increase in effluent BOD and NH3 at twice and six times the steady state values, respectively.

After the process design was complete, a process flow diagram showing the actual process and separation steps was created and finally an economic analysis of the market feasibility of the product was prepared. The approach to the IPRO involved dividing the objectives into three major groups: (1) the Che 496 group was involved in the process design and the separation processes; (2) the Che 296 group was involved in the public perception of biotechnology, the useful products from biotechnology and the survey of the commercial biotherapeutic compounds; and (3) the 435 group was involved with the history of biotherapeutics, classification and actions infernos and the companies involved in the production of therapeutics. The individual members of these groups are seen on the team list below.

Show moreSudden Cardiac Arrest is a leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for an estimated 325,000 deaths each year according to the Heart Rhythm Foundation. Cardiac arrest is different from a typical heart attack because it involves a complete stopping of the heart. Brain injury is likely to occur if the cardiac arrest is untreated for more than 5 minutes and a person cannot be revived after 10 minutes of no action. This is because the arrest sets off a chain of metabolic reactions, which leads to swelling of the brain tissue. Cardiac arrest results in ischemia reperfusion injury, which is when circulation is restored and high levels of oxygen rich blood rushes back into the brain causing brain damage. Decreasing the metabolism of the victim may result in a decrease of ischemia reperfusion injury. Reducing the oxygen level that enters the body when the victim revives and slowly increasing this level may also reduce reperfusion injury. However, current procedures dictate that 100% oxygen be given to cardiac arrest victim.

Show moreA method is provided for microbial enhanced oil recovery, wherein a combination of microorganisms is empirically formulated based on survivability under reservoir conditions and oil recovery efficiency, such that injection of the microbial combination may be made, in the presence of essentially only nutrient solution, directly into an injection well of an oil bearing reservoir having oil present at waterflood residual oil saturation concentration. The microbial combination is capable of displacing residual oil from reservoir rock, which oil may be recovered by waterflooding without causing plugging of the reservoir rock. Further, the microorganisms are capable of being transported through the pores of the reservoir rock between said injection well and associated production wells, during waterflooding, which results in a larger area of the reservoir being covered by the oil-mobilizing microorganisms.
