Show moreThe olfactory system is an important chemosensory system. Our identification of odorants is occurred through binding of odorant molecules with olfactory receptors in the olfactory epithelium. In zebrafish, there are four classes of olfactory receptors: trace amine-associated receptor (TAAR), odorant receptor (OR), vomeronasal type 1-like receptor (V1R-like) and vomeronasal type 2-like receptor (V2R-like). In this study, I amplified four olfactory receptors taar1a, or1016, ora5 and olfcc1, which are respectively belong to the four olfactory receptor classes, from cDNA of the zebrafish olfactory epithelium and cloned genes into a mammalian expression vector pCI. The gene sequences of these receptors were not identical as the sequences obtained from GenBank database. The possible reasons for the inconsistency of gene sequence are discussed. I further tranfected these four cloned olfactory receptors in a mammalian cell line Hana3A. Expression of all four olfactory receptors in Hana3A cells was confirmed by immunocytochemistry. In summary, these four olfactory receptors taar1a, or1016, ora5 and olfcc1 were successfully cloned into the pCI vector and can be expressed on cell membrane surface of Hana3A cells.

Show moreIt is well known that the exponential growth in popularity of wireless devices has created a demand for radio spectrum that cannot be met with current regulatory policies. Despite the difficulty in procuring access to new spectrum resources, many empirical studies have indicated that the majority of spectrum is in-fact unused in the temporal, spatial and/or spectral domains, representing an untapped wealth that must be exploited. Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) is a promising technology which aims to improve the efficiency of future radios and alleviate the issue of spectrum under-utilization. This dissertation utilizes the data from the IIT Spectrum Observatory to develop models of channel activity on the Land Mobile Radio (LMR) band (used for critical communication by organizations such as public safety) and shows how such models can be applied to improve the performance of DSA. We demonstrate that LMR traffic may possess multi-timescale behavior – such as clustering and dispersion over different time periods – and propose a novel statistical model to account for these observations based on a multiple emission hidden Markov model. We then used this model to design a collision constrained channel selection algorithm that can permit the re-use of licensed spectrum while minimizing interference with incumbent users. The findings in this work are primarily developed for public safety, however the techniques developed are general enough to be applied to other types of traffic possessing similar characteristics. The proposed model, in particular, is well suited for further analytic work and simulations studies in this area.

Show moreUsers of speech recognition technology often hyperarticulate (i.e., exaggerate) their speech in response to recognition failures and subsequent requests to repeat (e.g., \I'm sorry, I didn't understand, please repeat the input."). Hyperarticula- tion usually leads to further recognition failure. The goal of the current project is to develop a protocol for testing di erent talker characteristics of voice prompts in speech recognizers with an aim towards minimizing hyperarticulated speech from users. This IPRO is equally suited to students interested in the more tech- nical aspects of acoustic phonetics and voice recognition as well as the cognitive aspects of predicting user behavior in technology-mediated environments.

Show moreDuchenne muscular dystrophy, DMD, is a severe X-linked recessive disease that kills boys in their second or third decade of life. A related condition Becker Muscular Dystrophy, BMD, is very heterogeneous with clinical severity ranging from nearly as bad as DMD, to nearly benign. Both of these are caused by defects in the dystrophin gene, which encodes a 427 kDa cytoskeletal protein, dystrophin, which can provide a mechanical link between the cytoskeleton and the muscle membrane and stables muscle tissue. In general, DMD results from defects that eliminate all dystrophin expression, whereas BMD patients carry mutated products: modified and malfunctioned dystrophin proteins. Since DMD is invariably fatal, monogenic, has a high incidence (1:3500 male births) and afflicts a charismatic patient profile, it has been an attractive target for gene therapy. However, the huge size of the dystrophin gene (2.4 Mbp) and more importantly its processed mRNA (14.2 kb) poses a problem for viral gene therapy which is limited to payloads of about 8 kb. This has prompted efforts to reduce the size of the dystrophin protein while still maintaining functionality. A major inspiration for such efforts was the identification of a very unusual, very large deletion serendipitously found in an extremely mild BMD case. The patient identified with this defect was ambulatory at 65 year of ages. This edit removes more than half the central rod region, from exon 17 to 48, Δe17-48, and, fortunately, the size of this BMD type edit protein is available for viral vector loading. In this project, edited dystrophin with central rod region deletion (D2:22 Δe17-48) and other two related edits, D2:22 Δe17-47 (exon 48 is added in D2:22 Δe17-48) and D2:22 Δe17-49 (exon 49 is deleted from D2:22 Δe17-48), were studied. According to these results, D2:22 Δe17-47 demonstrated the best biophysical and biochemical properties, but D2:22 Δe17-48 displayed higher to protease sensitivity, and D2:22 Δe17-49 had the worst thermal stability. This work will help us to understand the factors that result in benign large scale edits, and facilitate the development of effective viral gene therapy vectors.

Show moreEfficiency in parking facilities has been set to low standards since self-parking was introduced in the 1950s1. As technology has developed, parking has been left in the past. Drivers are increasingly realizing the problem as they become accustomed to other technology, which increases the efficiency of their lives (eg smartphones). While driving around searching for an open lot, circling a garage for an parking spot, or wandering through garage a looking for a parked car, people have time to ponder the many improvements that should be made to the parking experience. Simply Park: IPRO 365 is taking initiative to seize the possibilities new technologies offer the parking industry. The result should be improved driver experience as well as increased efficiency and profitability of parking facilities. The system will include signs visible to passersby that display the number of vacancies within a parking facility. Once in the parking facility, additional signs will direct drivers to sections of the facility with vacancies. Colored lights above each parking spot will indicate the state of occupancy for quick reference when looking down an aisle. When a driver parks, the ticket they receive at the entrance gate will associate their ticket to the spot they parked in, so when the driver returns to the facility he/she can present his/her ticket to a kiosk which will notify him/her how to get back to his/her car. As the vehicle leaves the ticket association will be reset and displays will update to show one more spot available. Additional interfaces through mobile and internet applications will further expedite the parking process. 1National

Show moreIPRO 347 is a continuation of an IPRO, which previously explored ways to utilize waste heat and CO2 from Robbins Community Power Plant. The concluding thought from that project was that the plant would need to select a source of greenwood to burn. The goal of IPRO 347 is to establish a plan for the Robbins Community Power Plant to gather and utilize the green waste of urban lumber. The main task is to research opportunities for RCP to gather a supply of greenwood. The items being researched are estimated expenses and profits, whom will be participating, the availability of our raw good—greenwood—and potential buyers.

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 moreAs the deadline for determining which city will host the 2016 Olympics draws near, Chicago, along with Madrid, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo is trying to prove that it should be selected as the Host City. If on October 2nd Chicago is chosen as the Host City for the 2016 Olympics, it will face the enormous task of providing temporary housing for all Olympics and Paralympics participants, including athletes, coaches, organizers and media reporters. Building upon the previous two semesters, our IPRO is proposing an economical and environmentally friendly solution to this challenge. We propose to utilize thousands of old shipping containers that are cluttering up shipping yards all over the Chicago-land area and convert them into a more cost effective alternative to traditional housing units. Since Chicago’s motto for the 2016 Olympics is “the Blue Green Olympics,” which references the way Chicago prides itself in creating sustainable I P R O 3 3 9 solutions, our proposal would only enhance our chances of being selected as the Host City in addition to being a city that thinks “outside of the box.”

Show moreThis IPRO is designed to support the Department of Homeland Security national security initiatives as outlined by the United States Government. The goal is to design a project that supports homeland security compliance guidelines. For example, depending upon interests of the group, a software program could be developed containing a matrix of risk and preventive factors which could be used to assess how well an organization meets Homeland Security Guidelines. Items might involve public policy, computer technology, facilities, transportation, communications, EPA, security, water and air. The need to protect our facilities and people in the Chicago area given recent terrorist activities and the frequent, heightened state of alerts is critical. A well-defined homeland security project can help in contributing to the initiative of establishing homeland readiness. This hands-on project will afford students the opportunity to research an apply concepts of transportation, mechanical, electrical, power, economics, and especially computer technology and engineering to homeland security.
