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.

Show moreThe IPRO 337 team’s objectives for this semester is to make further progress in updating the top floor of Machinery Hall into a lab for future energy and lighting technology research and for the space itself to be able to be as sustainable as possible throughout research this semester. Since the end goal is a rather ambitious one, a more realistic goal is to have an energy plan for following IPRO’s to work off of and to have the space cleared so that the developed plan can be tested. The team hopes to generate willingness in its members to establish an environment conducive to team-oriented goals, as outlined in the objectives below. Successful completion of the goals presented here will require each participant to gain useful experience and knowledge regarding teamwork, inter-professional skills and specifically sustainable energy systems. For this fall semester, the team has set forth the following objectives:  Research office utilities that consume low amounts of energy, and investigate how to improve the efficiency of current utilities.  Research and test various energy efficient lighting solutions.  Research environmentally friendly floor, wall, and ceiling finishes along with necessary office furniture.  Develop a website to display the development progress of the Zero-Energy Lab and provide information regarding “green technology”  Clean and prepare the 6,000 ft2 space for future inhabitants.  Using the research, develop a program proposal for the Zero-Energy Lab.

Show moreCAPTCHAs (Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart) are used to prevent automated access to sensitive information online. In its usual format, users are presented with distorted text and asked to enter the displayed text in an answer box. If successful, humans, but not computers, will be able to interpret the distorted text. Another format of CAPTCHAs asks users to identify audio information (usually a string of digits or phrase of words) that has been distorted or placed against a background of noise (\white" noise, reversed speech, etc.). Users type the words they hear into an answer box. The audio format is intended to be accessible to blind and low-vision users who cannot use the visually-based format. Unfortunately, audio CAPTCHAs are di cult for humans to use (Bigham and Cavendar 2009) but relatively easy for computers to solve (Tam et al. 2008), which is exactly the opposite outcome desired. To take two extreme examples, in one recent study (Sauer et al. 2008), users were able to solve only 46 percent of audio CAPTCHAs, while in another study (Burztein and Bethard 2009), a computer program was able to break 75 percent of audio CAPTCHAs. At issue is whether audio CAPTCHAs can be designed so that users can easily solve them but computers cannot. Yan and Ahmad (2008) propose testing di erent kinds of background noise to determine which is the most e ective at blocking computers but admitting humans. To this end, Tam et al. (2008) suggest using other human voices as background noise (to thwart computers) but familiar phrases as the string to decode (to aid listeners). The current project will focus on selecting from a set of potential solutions to test.

Show moreThis study is focused on comparing the wild type and mutated versions of the Vitreoscilla hemoglobin gene (vgb). The purpose of this focus is to find out whether any of the vgb mutations provides an advantage regarding cell growth rate, as well as on the expression level of Vitreoscilla hemoglobin protein (VHb). A negative control Escherichia coli DH5α (E. coli DH5α) bearing no pUC plasmid, as well as seven E. coli DH5α strains bearing different pUC-based plasmids were tested in the experiments. Among these were one vector-only negative control (pUC18), one wild type positive control (pUC8:16, which carries wild type vgb) and five different types of pUC-bearing vgb mutants (pUC-vgb M1, M2, M3, M4 and pUC18-vgb M3). In order to compare cell growth rate among these strains, the growth rate assay was carried out under three different conditions: (1) Luria-Bertani (LB) medium, aerobic conditions; (2) Terrific Broth (TB) medium, low oxygen conditions; and (3) TB medium, microaerobic conditions. In addition, the carbon monoxide (CO) difference spectra assay was conducted to measure functioning VHb protein expression levels for the strains grown under aerobic conditions. In contrast to the results obtained by our Australian collaborators, our growth rate assay and CO difference spectra assay showed no growth advantage or higher expression level of functioning VHb protein due to any of the vgb mutations. For the further study of the vgb mutants, four different recombinant plasmids were constructed by cloning three types of mutated vgb (vgb M1, M3 and M4) as well as wild type vgb into the prokaryotic expression vector pUC8 with ampicillin (Amp) resistance. After being transformed into competent E. coli DH5α cell, these resulting xii strains, as well as the plasmid-free negative control (E. coli DH5α) and vector-only negative control (E. coli DH5α bearing plasmid pUC8) were tested by the CO difference spectra assay. Except strain E. coli DH5α [pUC8-vgb M3], which showed a slight increase in the VHb expression level, the strain bearing other mutated vgbs did not demonstrate any elevation in VHb protein expression level, compared to the positive control containing wild type vgb.
