Show moreIt is our objective to create a medium in which to combine the need of proficient web developers for university projects/ jobs as well as others looking for similar services outside of the university, with IIT students looking to gain experience as well as payment, whether through class credits or through wages. We plan to create a business model of a consulting firm that seeks out clients, as well as having clients brought to the firm, realize their needs, create a design document of their proposed website, then seek out the students with the capabilities matching the clients needs and “hire” them for the job, all the while maintaining that the quality of the student’s work will be sufficient to the client and therefore sufficient for our consulting firm. The start up companies/clients we gain will receive knowledge, expertise, and fresh ideas for a much needed website for their company/project. On the other hand the students will receive real-life experience working for a client in a certain timetable, with a standardized set of guidelines while also receiving some form of compensation.

Show moreThe objective of this project is the design and cost estimation for various pollution control devices that can remove volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from ground water. Effective and efficient treatment methods are needed to meet this clean up challenge. Full-scale performance and cost data that minimizes energy requirements and documents the costs associated with design, construction, and operation will be required. Integration of various technologies and the application of unit operations involving adsorption, absorption, and biological reactor systems will be addressed. The need to address present and future environmental emission standards will be integrated into the design procedures. The design process will be part of a general evaluation of emission standards required for the control and removal of hazardous waste.

Show moreThe microstructure and fatigue properties of sintered Ti-6Al-4V were investi- gated as a function of sintered density and pore morphology. A quantitative analysis of microstructure was conducted to correlate with tensile and fatigue properties to understand the in uence of sintering density and pore morphology. Low cycle fatigue (LCF) using constant strain control was conducted at room temperature, R=-1 and sine waveform. High cycle fatigue (HCF) using constant stress control was conducted at room temperature, R=0.1 and sine waveform. It was found that there was no signi cant di erence in tensile strength but the fatigue endurance limit was increased by 20% when the sintering density was increased from 95% to 99%. Moreover, fatigue endurance limit was increased when the shape factor increased among three di er- ent sintering conditions(1010 -60min-690MPa, 1130 -90min-410MPa, 1250 -30min- 550MPa). Fracture surface analysis indicated that the fatigue crack initiated from the cluster of pore either at surface or at the sub-surface. The implication of pore morphology and porosity on mechanical behaviour and fatigue fracture of P/M Ti- 6Al-4V were discussed. It was estimated that the shape factor was 0.05 for A-50 and 0.07 for A-100, respectively. A polynomial relationship was found between the fatigue endurance limit and shape factor among three sintering con gurations. It was found that the PM parts with a higher shape factor had a higher fatigue endurance limit.

Show moreVery little unbiased information is available to the general public about energy needs, concerns, and sources. The philosophy behind IPRO 332 is that people should be sufficiently educated about their own energy choices to be able think critically about the corresponding consequences. This IPRO team will build on the work underway since Spring 2007 in developing effective methods for educating high school students about energy and sustainability, expanding our outreach to junior high school students. In addition, the team will: (1) Construct a Teaching Kit to extend the reach of the program beyond the Chicago metropolitan area to provide educators with the materials they will need to present the modules on their own and tailor it to their classrooms; (2) Complete the full-scale launch of the organization’s website, www.howmanyearths.com, to enrich the learning experience, provide a professional contact interface and build a community of engaged teachers and students; (3) Execute a formal marketing plan to build awareness of our efforts, establish our brand image, promote our work, and greatly increase visibility; and (4) Pursue grants and funding with the goal of establishing a viable, long-term, not-for-profit organization.

Show moreDuchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a severe X-linked recessive disease affecting 1 in 3500 boys that is characterized by the degeneration of muscle function and strength. The cause of this disease lies in gene defects that eliminate expression of the protein dystrophin. Becker Muscular Dystrophy, BMD is a milder form of disease that has a later onset and much longer survival (up to the 7th decade of life, compared to median survival of 25 years for DMD patients) because of the presence of low levels of modified dystrophin protein. BMD is very heterogeneous, however, and many cases are nearly as severe as DMD. A major therapy for DMD involves exon skipping, which produces modified forms of dystrophin that are very similar to BMD. However, how these edits impact the function of dystrophin, and how they are linked to the severity of BMD or the BMD-like state produced in DMD exon skip therapy is unknown. We investigated this in two specific cases involving a specific panel of BMD defects linked to a major cause of death, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We also investigated the contribution of various exons to interaction with a signaling partner of dystrophin, neuronal nitric oxide synthetase (nNOS).

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 Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations are a system of nonlinear di erential equations that describe ow of charged particles in solution. This dissertation is about the design of numerical schemes to solve this system which preserves global properties exhibited by the system. There are two major advances presented. The rst is the design of schemes that conserve mass globally when the system is coupled with no- ux boundary conditions. Most notably, a scheme using central di erencing and TR-BDF2 achieves second order accuracy in both space and time, while also conserving global mass is presented. The second is the design of a more general scheme that preserves the time-varying properties of the free energy of the system. One such a scheme uses central di erencing in space and trapezoidal integration in time to achieve second order accuracy in both space and time, while also preserving the energy dynamics, but at the cost of requiring positivity of the solution. There is also a discussion of solution methods: the classic Newton iteration scheme is compared with a modi ed Gummel iteration scheme for the purpose of solving the transient equations. The intended application of this work is the modeling of ion channels, and many of the simulations presented use parameters consistent with models of ion channels.

Show moreMeasurement of fortification levels for vitamins A and D in fluid milk products is required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) according to Pasteurized Milk Ordinance. In the current study, a high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed for simultaneous determination of retinyl palmitate (vitamin A) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) in fortified milk, which will enhance the efficiency of routine monitoring of fortification for processors as well as laboratories. Saponification conditions and extraction solution compositions were studies for best recovery and simplification of the extraction procedures. Saponification conditions studied included temperature (20, 40 and 60℃), time (0.5 to 16 hour) and concentration of KOH (20, 30, 40 and 50%). The variables studied for extraction included solvent compositions (hexane, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate and dichloromethane) and corresponding polarities (0.1, 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75), and number of extractions (once, twice and three times). Freezing and centrifuging steps were also investigated to compare to SPE clean-up, as an alternative method to clean-up before injection. The optimum parameters found were: saponification conditions at 60℃ for 2 hours with 40% (w/v) KOH liquid-liquid extraction with hexane: diethyl ether (80:20, v:v). Vitamins A and D3 were quantitated using an HPLC system with fluorescence detector (FLD) and diode array detector (DAD) respectively within the same injection. Spike recoveries from three different fat levels (skim, 2% and whole) of commercial pasteurized milk samples were in the range of 94 to 110% for both vitamins A and D3 at three spike concentration levels. In addition, at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Material (SRM 1849a) was used xii for method accuracy evaluation. With eight replicates, the average vitamin A (expressed as retinol equivalents) concentration was 7.52 ± 0.23 μg/g, vitamin D3 concentration was 0.114 ± 0.0062 μg/g, an excellent agreement with the certified value of 7.68 ± 0.23 μg/g for vitamin A and 0.11 ± 0.017 μg/g for vitamin D3. In summary, an HPLC method for simultaneous determination of vitamins A and D3 in fluid milk products has been developed. The method showed high efficiency and accuracy of analysis during a single laboratory validation.

Show moreRe-entry residential communities are an integral part of the criminal justice system. They focus on re-entry prepartion, including job training and drug treatment. These group homes are located in the community where inmates serve a period of time after being released from federal prison, in order to prepare for reentering the community. The inmates are required to go outside during the day to work or participate in community services. Law offenders are housed in penal establishments as a punishment not for punishment. Preservation of personality & prevention of deterioration call for as high a priority as efforts to bring about the inmates’ re-entry into the society. Hence the concept of correction, reformation & rehabilitation of prison inmates should come to the forefront of any community correction center’s adminstration.
