Show moreOptimum antenna-like exciters for heating earth media which may be used to recover hydrocarbons. A high frequency power supply is connected to an exciter emplaced in the subsurface formation which radiates high frequency power. The exciters include one or more conducting cylinders which make up monopole and dipole antenna-like apparatus. Substantially uniform heating of the subsurface formation is provided thus suppressing excessive heating of edge and power input regions. The equal distribution of electric fields eliminates intense electric fields which would normally exist thus mitigating excessively heated regions and providing substantially uniform heating of the subsurface formation.

Show moreThe mission of IPRO 363 - Language Link is to develop a social network website that connects IIT students to learn languages, integrate cultures and build friendships. The basis for this solution is an online framework allowing students to build a personal profile, matching people based on common interests, goals, schedules, and other factors, so as to promote and improve language learning via natural every-day interaction and use of languages. The envisioned efficacy of Language Link is based on the theory of immersion, which is widely regarded as the best way to learn a language[1]. As the developers of the website, we will provide a matching system based on pairing algorithms in order to allow each user to build a relationship with a student most equipped to facilitate language learning, so that the immersion process can really begin. Language Link will not be designed to equip users with lessons, translations or vocabulary; rather, the site is envisioned as a social networking site connecting those that are interested in teaching, learning and studying languages. We plan to start off providing this service to IIT affiliates. As the project progresses we hope to extend Language Link to other city colleges as well.

Show moreFabrication Laboratories, or Fab Labs, were started as a community outreach program by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology providing digital fabrication tools for rapid prototyping to the general public. The Museum of Science and Industry has partnered with IPRO to further develop the Fab Lab at their site. IPRO 333 has been rendered the task of working with the administration in the Fab lab of MSI to design methodologies for furthering the use of the laboratory and assisting in determining its end goals for both the museum and the community by working with the lab directors to broaden the possible uses of the lab, promoting membership at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, and involving the community in science and technology programs at the museum. In order to accomplish our tasks we have broken into three main teams, each of which will focus on a different aspect of the lab. The first team will be responsible for creating events specific to the museum members, creating proposals for low‐cost, high‐profit activities for the lab, and possibly creating a website where users of the lab may sign up for time in the lab, reserve or order materials, and rent storage space for long term projects they wish to work on. The second team is responsible for integrating the Fab Lab into the current working exhibits as well as future exhibitions. The third team will be responsible for designing and creating new programs for users of the Fab Lab, such as the students enrolled in the Science Achievers program or museum members.

Show moreThe objective is to develop and apply an organic matter degradation model (OMDM) that predicts changes in the biological degradation of organic matter added to soils as a function of soil temperature, moisture content and mineral surface area using data from field and laboratory measurements. A one year long laboratory study was conducted to determine biosolids microbial degradation rates (21 ˚C and 20% moisture content) for soils from eight different fields Biosolids microbial degradation rates were also determined for the eight soils under field condition (10 ˚C and 10% moisture content) by applying a degradation rate model (DRM). The total mineral surface areas for 27 soil samples were also determined. Regression analysis revealed that the degradation rate was positively associated with mineral soil surface area (R2=0.85) and that the biosolids application rate is not significantly associated with the biosolids degradation rate (p value =0.35>0.01). The OMDM determines a decomposition rate of 1.04 yr-1 at 30 ˚C, 20% moisture content, and 10 m2/g soil and provides correction factors for changes in soil temperature, moisture, and mineral surface area. The model predicted in changes of the biological degradation rate of biosolids added to soils with mineral surface areas that vary from 1 to 10 m2/g soil under laboratory and field conditions. A comparison of the measured and simulated degradation rates for eight different soils produced R2 = 0.87 for field data. The model was also able to predict the degradation rate of biosolids for 19 additional soils under field conditions (R2=0.89). The model was also applied to agricultural plant litter. The estimated degradation rates are 0.45 yr-1 corn stover, 0.35 yr-1 oats, 0.26 yr-1 wheat, and 0.13 yr-1 millet at 30 ˚C, 20% moisture content and 10 m2/g. This study demonstrates that the effects of environmental conditions and soil mineral surface area have a significant impact on degradation rates of organic matter and must be considered when assessing degradation rates for organic matter added to soil. Higher temperatures and moisture content and finer soils are related to larger degradation rates.

Show moreACCESS Healthcare is committed to excellent service in each step of the patient experience. In order to learn what elements of the experience need improvement, patients are surveyed at each of the 50 clinics, and the data is analyzed and compiled in a report each quarter. As the process of collecting surveys and inputting data is the responsibility of four employees, it requires a significant amount of time and travel, and should therefore be as efficient as possible. Our objective in this project is to obtain insights about the surveying process, through on-site observation, surveyor shadowing, and employee interviews that will allow us to provide the most comprehensive suggestions for increased surveyor productivity.
