Show moreThe objective of IPRO 305 is to build a wireless broadband network infrastructure along a local river to help Air2Access, an IIT University Technology Park Company, expand its maritime solutions offerings. We will do this by becoming familiar with cutting edge wireless broadband network technologies and the different vendors that offer and use this technology. We will also examine the pilot site and work with the appropriate Agencies to determine any natural, man-made or legal restrictions that we must abide by. To effectively complete our task in a timely manner, our team has divided into two sub-teams. The application team will focus on business applications and how to build them from off-the-shelf and custom built software. The infrastructure team will focus on technologies to support the necessary applications and will focus on the site itself, along with the required hardware deployment.

Show moreSanitizers have been widely used in controlling cross-contamination during fresh produce washing processes. It is important to identify different approaches for monitoring the efficacy of sanitizer washing. In this study, our objective was to determine the feasibility of indicator microorganisms in assessing the efficacy of chlorine and peroxyacetic acid (PAA) in fresh-cut produce washing. In inactivation experiments, the survivals of inoculated indicator microorganisms [total viable count (TVC), Enterobacteriaceae and total coliforms] and E. coli O157:H7 were determined after exposure to different concentrations of chlorine or PAA in water with added organic load (TOC~200 mg/l). In small-scale washing experiments, bacterial transfer from lettuce leaves inoculated with indicators or E. coli O157:H7 to wash water containing chlorine or PAA with/without organic matters was evaluated. In the inactivation study, higher log reduction was observed for Enterobacteriaceae and total coliforms than for E. coli O157:H7 after chlorine treatment at an initial concentration of 30 ppm. In the bacterial transfer study [a inoculated leaf (~5 log CFU) in 30 ml of wash water], without additional organic matter, approximately 3.5 log total CFU of all bacteria groups was transferred into wash water. Less than 1.5 log total CFU were detected for Enterobacteriaceae, total coliforms and E. coli O157:H7 in 1 ppm chlorine washing. With introduced organic matter, similar microbial loads of Enterobacteriaceae, total coliforms and E. coli O157:H7 were detected on washed leaves and in wash water with initial chlorine concentration of 1 ppm; when initial chlorine level increased to 10 ppm, less than 2 log total CFU of Enterobacteriaceae and total coliforms was detected while about 3 log total CFU of E. coli O157:H7 transferred to wash water, suggesting that chlorine at an initial concentration of 10 ppm could not prevent cross-contamination in the presence of organic load. The indicators showed different levels of survival and transfer from E. coli O157:H7 in this study and were unreliable to effectively monitor the behavior of the pathogen during chlorine wash in fresh produce processes. Enterobacteriaceae and total coliforms were more vulnerable to 40 ppm PAA treatment than E. coli O157:H7 in PAA inactivation experiments. No survival, except for TVC, was observed after 80 ppm of PAA inactivation. In the bacterial transfer study, 40 ppm PAA in wash water was found unable to prevent cross-contamination of indicators and E. coli O157:H7 from leaves to water. Further investigation is needed to compare the bacterial transfer levels of E. coli O157:H7 and the indicators at higher PAA levels.

Show moreThe IPRO is pending to be sponsored by ComEd in order to research possible methods of energy conservation. The focus of this project is to design a system that encourages energy conserving behavior in residents by use of an interface that displays real time energy use of a residence. For this system to encourage conservation on a significant scale it is necessary that it can be installed in both new and existing buildings. The interface needs to give detailed enough data about the building’s energy consumption for the user to make well informed decisions of how to save energy, but at the same time the data must be presented in an easy to understand format. Also, the unit or units that provide the data must be accessible enough so that the user can at any time be aware of the impact that activating a certain device will have on energy consumption in their home.

Show moreThe batch scheduler is an important system software serving as the interface between users and HPC systems. Users submit their jobs via batch scheduling portal and the batch scheduler makes scheduling decision for each job based on its request for system resources and system availability. Jobs submitted to HPC systems are usually parallel applications and their lifecycle consists of multiple running phases, such as computation, communication and input/output data. Thus, the running of such parallel applications could involve various system resources, such as power, network bandwidth, I/O bandwidth, storage, etc. And most of these system resources are shared among concurrently running jobs. However, Today's batch schedulers do not take the contention and interference between jobs over these resources into consideration for making scheduling decisions, which has been identified as one of the major culprits for both the system and application performance variability. In this work, we propose a cooperative batch scheduling framework for HPC systems. The motivation of our work is to take important factors about jobs and the system, such as job power, job communication characteristics and network topology, for making orchestrated scheduling decisions to reduce the contention between concurrently running jobs and to alleviate the performance variability. Our contributions are the design and implementation of several coordinated scheduling models and algorithms for addressing some chronic issues in HPC systems. The proposed models and algorithms in this work have been evaluated by the means of simulation using workload traces and application communication traces collected from production HPC systems. Preliminary experimental results show that our models and algorithms can effectively improve the application and the system overall performance, HPC facilities' operation cost, and alleviate the performance variability caused by job interference.

Show moreThe scope of this study is focused on the applicability of the interval method to the reliability analysis of structures. The study includes using the traditional probability methods in several applications and comparing the results with the interval analysis. Accordingly, the interval arithmetic rules are applied in several examples and the results are compared with those from the traditional probability theory concepts. Specifically, the procedure for using the interval methods was applied to the development of the probability of failure for a simple structural member; and for a link in a network system. Through three simple examples, the research shows that the interval method offers comparable results with those from the traditional first-order reliability method. The procedure based on the interval method, however, may offer advantages, especially in cases where the uncertainties in various parameters describing the reliability of a system are large. In the presence of large uncertainties, the traditional methods of reliability analysis, based on the first order approximation, may lose their accuracy. In these cases, the interval method may offer a simple method yet with more accurate results.

Show moreThe project aims to convert the urban wood waste into an environmentally friendly, marketable product. The primary focus this semester will be to create visibility for urban wood through the connection of products made from urban wood to the end users. The primary drawback for urban wood is the perception of “no value” attached to the wood, which results in an epidemic of wasted wood, since nobody wants to use it. This project will research and organize possible production methods and uses for urban wood, which could create a business opportunity and jump-start the urban wood demand/market in Chicago.

Show moreGPS modules and tracking devices have influenced many advances in modern technology. The data GPS provides has replaced the map and compass, and can be crucial in many situations. Its current platform for use however requires the user to utilize a handheld device and direct his/her frame of view to a screen. In many situations there is a need to have eyes on and full awareness of surroundings, something that simply can't be done while holding and viewing a handheld device. To solve this dilemma, team Smart Specs has integrated ideas of GPS, heads-up displays, and datalink technology to form a design that will give the user full hands free capabilities. This device, worn like glasses, allows the user to track objects and even designate objects to be tracked, which are all shown through heads-up display.
