Show moreThe ultimate goal of the Zero Energy Lab IPRO is to design a universal format for occupying laboratories that utilize the minimal amount of energy. For the Zero Energy Lab to be usable at all hours of the day, proper lighting is a necessity. The installation of an appropriately designed lighting system, which will be both cost and energy efficient, will be a high priority in the overall scheme. A small section of the overall space will be the prototype of the design, which will in turn allow for the further development of lighting implementation.

Show moreIPRO 307 is following the path of its predecessors in order to help improve the shipping transportations and facilities in Kankakee County, IL. While there have been other IPRO teams that have contributed to the modernization of the intermodal system at MI-Jack Shipping Company, our sponsor is now looking for us to further their research in this field. They would also like us to further the research in high speed intermodal along with a viaduct enhancement system. One of our tasks is to select a location in Kankakee County to place the intermodal system. We have decided to break this into two locations with one being in-city and the other being out-of-city. Kankakee County has been selected because two major rail lines pass through it. There is also a highway that runs through the center of it. Therefore, it is an ideal 2 location for an intermodal yard. Also, there is a wind farm being built in Kankakee, so we will be able to save energy by thinking green. In our selection process for a location, we may need to relocate some people. Therefore, our plan is to have affordable housing at our out-of-city location. We will design this affordable housing along with the warehouses and storage facilities, which go along with the design of an intermodal yard.

Show moreThe IPRO 347 team is being sponsored by Abrasive Form to lead the company into a paperless form of tracking projects. Abrasive Form currently uses a paper folder, which they call the “job folder” to hold all the important documents for completing incoming projects. This job folder travels along with the pieces of the project until the project is completed. Once a project has been completed, and the final product is shipped out, the job folder for that project is then kept in an on-site filling cabinet. So far this has led to several problems for Abrasive Form. As the company is increasing in size and completing increasing amounts of projects, they have had to dedicate a large portion of their offices to the storing of old job files. Abrasive Form keeps all of their completed job folders to ensure that all liability for the company is covered, and whenever necessary throughout the lifespan of completed projects in the field, Abrasive Form is able to prove that their work was of the quality that was requested. This has also lead to a lot of time being wasted by the employees of Abrasive Form traveling to the back offices where the job folders are held to look up information. The IPRO 347 team will be helping Abrasive Form come up with a solution to this very serious problem. The solution generated thus far is to scan all the documents contained within the paper job folders into PDF form, and use a digital filing program (such as Bugzilla which is a free open source program) to organize the PDF files into sub folders, and allow for quick referencing based on critical criteria such as the job number, part number, customer name, or part number. All this information would then be contained in a single server that can be accessed on any computer throughout the company through an internal network.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to investigate the link between performance dimension importance and rating consistency in 360-degree feedback systems. 360- degree feedback surveys were conducted on 208 managerial level employees from various organizations across the United States. In partial support of the hypotheses, dimension importance showed some impact on consistency of performance ratings across rater groups. The link between importance and consistency was stronger for the peer rating group than for the direct report or other groups. Discussion of results and implications for practice and future research are provided. In conclusion, this study provides the first research to empirically examine the link between dimension importance and rating consistency

Show moreReducing project duration is a significant concern for many industries in the speed-to-market era. Numerous studies have examined the effects of project delivery methods on speeding up the process of construction. However, no study has quantitatively compared the effect of using different compensation strategies on schedule duration and schedule reduction. Using the data obtained from 175 international construction projects, this paper focuses on examining the influence of compensation strategy (lump sum versus reimbursable) on project duration while specifically taking into account the industry sector (heavy industrial versus light industrial). The results of the study provide empirical evidence that using a reimbursable compensation strategy can potentially shorten the procurement duration, construction duration, and overall project duration of heavy industrial projects. However, reimbursable contracting did not appear to reduce the project duration on light industrial projects.

Title: EFFECT OF SUCROSE AND HIGH PRESSURE PROCESSING ON FUNCTIONAL AND PHYCISOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF EGG WHITE PROTEINS

Show moreEgg white is widely used in food applications because of its nutritional benefits and versatile functionalities. Traditional treatment like thermal pasteurization utilized for safety concern is disadvantageous to the egg white proteins due to the functionality impairment. High pressure processing (HPP) technology is known as a non-thermal food preserving method that can be operated at ambient temperatures. Sucrose is an essential ingredient that affects the functional behavior of egg white in numerous baking and pastry applications. The current study investigated the effect of sucrose and HPP on the functional and physicochemical properties of egg white proteins and verified the efficacy of HPP on microbial inactivation in egg white. Sucrose addition and HPP treatment were combined to study the foaming and physicochemical properties. Homogenized egg white samples were treated at selected HPP conditions (300-500 MPa) for 5-15 min, with an initial temperature of 4°C. Sucrose was added at 0-48% (w/v) to samples before or after HPP treatment. Foaming properties including foaming capacity and foam stability were measured immediately after whipping process. Turbidity and viscosity analyses were conducted within 24 hr after HPP treatment. The efficacy of HPP (500 MPa for 5 min) on microbial inactivation was verified using a pathogenic strain Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis (H7037) isolated from egg yolk implicated in a salmonellosis outbreak and a nonpathogenic Escherichia coli K12 strain (ATCC23716). All trials were completed in triplicate. Both addition of sucrose and HPP treatment decreased the foaming capacity but increased the foam stability of egg white proteins. Adding sucrose before HPP protected protein from turbidity and maintained foaming capacity, while adding sucrose after HPP greatly improved foam stability (p<0.05). Increasing HPP x holding time from 5 to 15 min did not affect the foaming properties significantly (p>0.05). A 5-log reduction of both strains was achieved after HPP treatment at 500 MPa for 5 min. These results exhibited that HPP can be used as a processing technology for the egg white safety control and that HPP could modify egg white foaming quality in food baking applications.
