Show moreThermal stability has been proposed as a criterion to assess the allergenic potential of genetically modified foods, but there is a lack of information on the relative thermal stability of food allergens vs. nonallergenic proteins. This study compared the thermal stability of several paired food allergens and nonallergenic proteins by measuring the changes in their solubility, antigenicity and thermodynamic properties after thermal treatment using BCA total protein assay, inhibition ELISA assay, Differential Scanning Calorimetry and Far-UV Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy. The selected protein pairs included bovine α-lactalbumin (allergen) vs. human α-lactalbumin (nonallergen), peanut lectin (allergen) vs. concanavalin A (nonallergen), soybean trypsin inhibitor (allergen) vs. lima bean trypsin inhibitor (nonallergen). With respect to protein solubility, a greater thermal stability was observed for: (1) bovine α-lactalbumin (bovine ALA) when it was autoclaved in water compared with human α-lactalbumin (human ALA) (2) peanut lectin when it was boiled or autoclaved in water compared with concanavalin A (ConA) and (3) soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI) when it was boiled in water or PBS, or autoclaved in water compared with lima bean trypsin inhibitor (LTI). Regarding TM values determined by DSC: (1) bovine ALA was more thermally stable than human ALA under both dry-heat treatment and moist-heat treatment (2) ConA was more thermally stable than peanut lectin during moist-heat treatment, while a greater thermal stability was observed for peanut lectin when the protein was under dry-heat treatment (3) LTI was more thermally stable than STI during heating in water or under dry-heat treatment, while a greater thermal stability was observed for STI when the protein was heated in PBS. Based on CD analyses, (1) bovine ALA was more thermally stable than human ALA (2) peanut lectin was more thermally stable than ConA (3) STI and LTI showed similar thermal stability. With respect to antigenicity, a greater thermal stability was observed for: (1) human ALA when it was autoclaved in water compared with bovine ALA (2) ConA when it was boiled or autoclaved in water, or under dry-heat treatment at 176℃ compared with peanut lectin (3) STI when it was autoclaved in PBS compared with LTI. In summary, allergens tended to be more thermally stable than nonallergenic proteins with respect to solubility, but there was no consistent trend in the relative thermal stability of these protein pairs regarding the antigenicity or the TM values. No correlation between thermal stability of the proteins and their allergenic potential was observed.ConA (3) STI and LTI showed similar thermal stability.

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 moreDuring the milling operations at an industrial steel producer like A. Finkl & Sons (Chicago, IL), a substantial amount of time and money is lost due to the fact that cutting inserts break catastrophically and without warning. The goal of this project is to devise an effective means by which a cutting insert breakage event can be quickly and reliably detected, thereby minimizing damage to the steel and other cutting inserts, and also freeing technicians to attend multiple machines at a time. This increases the productivity of their operations, and it has the potential to save A. Finkl & Sons substantial costs per year in time lost in rework and prematurely broken cutting inserts.

Show moreDue to growing concerns over the availability of non-renewable petroleum products and the increasing emphasis on protecting our environment from green house gas emissions, plug-in hybrid electric vehicle and hybrid electric vehicles have been gaining increasing popularity over recent years. This has led to the design of advanced drive systems using different electric motors such as BLDC, PMSM, IM and SRM. An electric motor/generator requires controller that not only has a strong I/O control function, but also high speed signal processing ability for realizing real time control. Therefore, a DSP (Digital Signal Processors), which integrates flexible multiple PWM signal generator, high speed high precision ADC and encoder interface for motor speed and position feedback, is considered as one of the strongest controllers for electric motor control. Owing to a growing emphasis on identification, interference, and communication of security services of drive train in intelligent PHEVs and HEVs, a DSP can also be used to identify and isolate security issues in the integrity of the drive train in PHEVs and EVs. This thesis has two main contributions: a) it focuses on the development of an embedded controller using TMS320LF2812 DSP to realize two quadrant control of the BLDC; and b) it develops an automotive test bench to identify and investigate some potential security issues using the embedded controller’s eCAN communication function.

Show moreThe objective of this semester’s IPRO 309 will be to incorporate three seminars into the framework proposed by last year’s IPRO 309. Fall 2010’s IPRO 309 proposed an educational curriculum that helped train individuals in Orthotics and Prosthetics in Categories I, II, and III. The goal is to improve on last year’s IPRO proposal and bring it closer to completion. Although the awareness of medical advancements is central, the well-being of patients is also of equal importance. Compatibility of medical devices and their psychological impacts on patients need to be understood by people involved in orthotics and prosthetics. Also related to a better patient care, it is beneficial to create a feasible way of tracking patient information. To emphasize these, seminars will be introduced consisting of materials compatibility, patient well-being, and electronic medical record keeping. Material compatibility will explore aspects such as patient-device interaction and minimizing negative reactions due to the orthotic and prosthetic devices, which includes rashes or other sorts of discomfort. Patient well-being will evaluate the psychological impact of said devices on the patient and help them incorporate the devices into their daily lives. Electronic medical record keeping will introduce technology that will enable practitioners to gather and track the patient’s medical records with ease. The main technology to explore for this course would be the Quick Response (QR) Technology that is incorporated in many smartphones today. These seminars will help increase awareness that orthotics and prosthetics are not just medical fields, but instead a series of professional relationships with patients to help them endure the difficulties and pains they are going through. The goal is that medical professionals will be able to provide the best care possible to patients, both physically and mentally. Additional improvements will also be made on the capstone design course, introduced in previous IPROs, by incorporating methods being used in capstone courses at the Illinois Institute of Technology.
