Show moreThe ability of tumors to metastasize is preceded by morphological instabilities such as chains or fingers that invade the host environment. Parameters that control tumor morphology may also contribute to its invasive ability. In this thesis, we investigate tumor growth using a two-phase Stokes model. We first examine the morphological changes using the surface energy of the tumor-host interface and investigate its nonlinear dynamics using a boundary integral method. In an effort to understand the interface stiffness, we then model the tumor-host interface as an elastic membrane governed by the Helfrich bending energy. Using an energy variation approach, we derive a modified Young-Laplace condition for the stress jump across the interface, and perform a linear stability analysis to evaluate the effects of viscosity, bending rigidity, and apoptosis on tumor morphology. Results show that increased bending rigidity versus mitosis rate contributes to a more stable growth. On the other hand, increased tumor viscosity or apoptosis may lead to an invasive fingering morphology. Comparison with experimental data on glioblastoma spheroids shows good agreement especially for tumors with high adhesion and low proliferation. Next, we evaluate tumor regression during cancer therapy by a combined modality involving chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The goal is to address the complexities of a vascular tumor (e.g. apoptosis and vascularization) during treatment. We introduce an apoptotic time delay and study its impact on tumor regression using numerical and asymptotic techniques. In particular, we implement the linear-quadratic model and identify two extreme sets of parameter data, namely the slow, and fast tumor response to therapy. Numerical simulations for the slow response set show good agreements with data representing non-small cell lung carcinoma. Using the evolution equation for tumor radius with time delay, we find that tumors with shorter time interval to the onset of apoptosis shrink faster.

Show moreIndustrial continuous processes are usually operated under closed-loop control, yielding process measurements that are autocorrelated, cross correlated, and collinear. A statistical process monitoring (SPM) method based on state variables is introduced to monitor such processes. The statistical model that describes the in-control variability is based on a canonical variate (CV) state space model. The CV state variables are linear combinations of the past process measurements which explain the variability of the future measurements the most, and they are regarded as the principal dynamic dimensions. A T-2 statistic based on the CV state variables is utilized for developing the SPM procedure. The CV state variables are also used for monitoring sensor reliability. An experimental application to a high temperature short time (HTST) pasteurization process illustrates the proposed methodology.

Show moreLarge scale sustainable energy like wind and solar energy integration to the bulk grid could introduce inevitable challenges to regional transmission and generation systems. The most important challenges for transmission system are the congestion management and planning for transmission expansion to transfer the zero cost generated electricity. Another big challenge is competition of current fuel based generation units in the electricity market with zero cost sustainable energy. In this dissertation all these challenges identified and analyzed for large scale grid. This thesis brings a new method used to study transmission congestions in Western Interconnection of the United States. The process involved Security-Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC) formulation applying its results for analysis of transmission congestion. This thesis also presents results and findings in simulation of the system operation in the Western Interconnection of the United States with the inclusion of large scale wind and solar energy integration for year 2030. High level of wind and solar energy with the forecasted wind and solar time series profiles were integrated to the Western Interconnection grid. Their impact on different existing types of generation plants is studied. The sensitivity of the fuel prices, wind turbine power output, load volatility and demand side management as well as carbon tax are analyzed in different possible scenarios. In order to incorporate large scale of sustainable energy into a bulk electricity grid footprint, planned transmission expansion showed need to take place. Transmission expansion reduces grid congestion and balances Locational Marginal Prices (LMP). This thesis explores the advancements in high-performance computing and visual analytics of economic-based transmission expansion in the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC). This expansion is based on 2018 and 2029 forecasted data. It identifies transmission congestions and average of LMP for each area, and expands the transmission system while accommodating large scale wind and solar energy to achieve the Department of Energy’s renewable energy vision for year 2030. An iterative transmission expansion analysis, based on the average LMP for each area, is used to identify the minimum WECC transmission lines required. All results are visualized on the Geographical Information System (GIS) format map of North America.

Show morecontain the employees necessary to run and maintain the multiple programs which will be controlled by the Student Recycling Business. This business will also be in charge of creating events which will help to get the students, staff and faculty of IIT more involved in the recycling process. For prolonged success, the marketing component of any business plan is possibly one of the most essential. Within a student-run business, the need for campus support is enough motivation to implement an effective marketing strategy to advertise the products and gain an appropriate reputation. In terms of recycling, to achieve desired results for a specific objective requires that the target audience is fully informed. Thus, an awareness campaign must be introduced before any expected business success is observed. As shown by the provided data, the large diversity on campus has and most likely will always remain a unique attribute of IIT. Not only do the ethnicity and gender size vary from one category to the next, but the large demographic range (age) that is not presented due to unattainable information is also a significant factor in target marketing. Having language barriers and large generational gaps makes it difficult to impose a single marketing strategy all over campus. A successful marketing plan will overcome these obstacles with ideas that integrate all backgrounds and avoid cultural seclusion.

Show moreA circular jet was excited simultaneously by two harmonically related tones. The results of this excitation on jet behavior are reported for three pairs of Strouhal numbers [St(D) = f*D/U(j) = 0.2 and 0.4, 0.3 and 0.6, 0.4 and 0.8]. For each case, the initial phase difference between the two tones was varied in steps of 45 deg for one full cycle, and the amplitude of the fundamental and subharmonic tones was varied independently over the range of 0.1-7.0% of the jet exit velocity. Several results of this study agreed with other published findings, such as a critical amplitude or the fundamental being required for subharmonic augmentation and the initial phase difference being critical in determining whether the subharmonic is augmented or suppressed. In addition, the detailed documentation or several aspects of this phenomenon, measured in the same experimental facility in a controlled manner, brought out two important points that had eluded previous researchers. First, at high levels of the fundamental and subharmonic forcing amplitudes, the subharmonic augmentation is independent of the initial phase difference. Second, two-frequency excitation is indeed more effective than single-frequency excitation in jet mixing enhancement. Higher spreading rates seem to go along with higher subharmonic levels.

Show moreIPRO 330 has one clear and main purpose: to increase high school student interest in Science and Mathematics in Chicago Public Schools. This is a very lofty and broad goal, so IPRO 330 has chosen to use the Chicago Public School Science Fair program as a vehicle to achieve this purpose. IPRO 330 is a continuing IPRO, meaning that we have a foundation and a base of work that has already been accomplished. As a result, one of the project goals of this team will be to obtain in-depth feedback from professionals within IIT, from Chicago Public Schools, and certainly from other professional education venues as well. Specifically, we will be looking to obtain feedback from the three most involved sources in high school students’ lives: students, teachers, and parents. This may be the most vital part of our project, because we want to make sure that our projects and guides are of high quality and high interest to high school students. IPRO 330 has an existing bank of Science Fair projects and guides which are located on the website sciencefair.math.iit.edu. In an effort to make our website more effective and more appealing, we will have team goals to create more Science Fair projects, and guides which will target areas that Chicago Public High School Students typically have trouble addressing, such as data analysis. We feel like the guides are a way to really implement more mathematics into the Science Fair program as a whole. In addition, there will be a group of students in our IPRO focused on improving the website and implementing new projects. IPRO 330 will address these objectives by first having all members, including faculty advisors, attend and judge a Chicago Public School Science Fair. This will allow everyone working on this project to get a better sense of what we are working on, make some contacts with teachers and Science Fair Coordinators, and even get feedback from students who used the website as a resource for their project. After this initial phase, the group will break up into three teams, an infrastructure team, a communication team, and a project and guides team. In these sub teams, IPRO 330 will be able to more effectively deal with more specific issues that arise

Show moreRenewable energy is one of the most important and widely researched topics today. It is classically defined as any form of energy coming from any naturally replenish-able source. This may include everything from solar to wind power, as well as biomass or biofuels. When considering biomass, or any (living or recently-dead) biological material, the chemical energy of the molecules is generally collected through combustion. The area of liquid fuels from biomass has especially gained much notoriety and support in recent years. This is due to the lower emissions and clean-burning nature of these fuels when compared to more traditional approaches, as well as the obvious renewable nature of the starting material. While vegetable oils or animal fats can be used as a replacement for diesel fuels, corn, switchgrass, or other grains are more widely used to produce ethanol for use in common combustion engines. Today’s E85 fuel is sold to customers with a chemical makeup of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. The use of solid biomass as a direct supplier of energy, however, is an area still left relatively unexplored in this growing field. In theory, and as preliminary research suggests, harvesting energy directly from solid biomass may be considerably more efficient than gathering it from its processed liquid counterpart. In fact, some studies suggest that the energy acquired from burning ethanol is up to 67% lower than is contained in the plant cellulose from which it is derived.[1] There are, however, several other factors besides energy projections to consider when looking at the economic and market viability of such an approach. For example, one of the main advantages of liquid fuels over solid is the ease of transportation and storage. Additionally, the feasibility of developing a whole new process of biomass collection and processing must be balanced with economic and logistical constraints. This includes not only careful analysis of energy and cost balances, but also in-depth examination of all equipment, manpower and environmental limitations. IPRO 349 was established to examine these (and many more) considerations in the viability of sold fuel from biomass. Specifically, we have narrowed the scope of our research to biomass derived from corn stover (leaves and stalk left in the ground after harvesting) within the state of Illinois. Illinois was chosen because it is currently the largest producer of corn in the nation.[2] Corn stover has been shown to have an energy content of 5,290 Btu/lb. wet, and 7,560 Btu/lb. dry.[2]With such an approach, it may be possible to utilize what would otherwise be considered “waste” to produce useable, renewable energy. For the purposes of this project, cogeneration, or the simultaneous generation of both electricity and useful heat will be examined.

Show moreIPRO 338 project started in 2003 was designed to address the issue of knowledge transfer in the IPRO teams. Due to an 80% student turnover rate and few teams continuing across semesters a large amount of valuable project knowledge was being lost. To address this issue, the IPRO knowledge management tool – iKNOW, was developed to assist with capturing and cataloging the knowledge generated from IPRO projects during each semester. This semester, IPRO 338 was charged with the full implementation of IKNOW across the 36 teams in the IPRO Spring semester. However, since this report was completed prior to the iKNOW upload deadline, a full accounting of the number of compliant teams was unavailable.

Show moreIPRO 324, Disaster Recovery: Do-It-Yourself Home Building, is focused on designing a building manual to aid disaster victims in building new buildings. The objectives of this group are to continue the efforts made from the previous semester. This includes the creation of a manual illustrating how to build the design, design for handicap accessibility as a provision to the current design, to market this manual to a disaster relief organization that would be responsible for the distribution, to find a new client who would be interested in having this project built, and to find funding in order to build the design. Over the course of this semester, the team will be focusing on creating the manual and attempting to build the design at a site either in New Harmony, Louisana or Gulfport, Mississippi where potential clients are. The house at a bare minimum consists of a multipurpose room, a kitchen, and a bathroom; and will cost approximately $17,000. This is an affordable home/structure considering the cost of building a house now. The team is aware that some families are not fortunate enough to have a savings of $20,000 when these unexpected disasters occur. For this reason, it is an objective of the team to obtain funding.
