Show moreOutbreaks of human norovirus are commonly attributed to fresh produce and multi-ingredient foods that have received significant handling immediately prior to consumption. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of gloved and ungloved hands on norovirus transfer during fresh produce preparation. The palm and fingers of bare or gloved (polyvinyl, vinyl or nitrile) hands were inoculated with approximately 7-log PFU/hand murine norovirus (MNV-1). Freshly chopped Romaine lettuce was handled by the contaminated hands, and then sampled to determine the transfer coefficient. MNV-1 transfer was also measured from chopped contaminated lettuce to clean bare or gloved hands. In addition, pulsed light was investigated, in a preliminary study, for its ability to inactivate MNV-1 on the surface of food contact surfaces including the various glove types and Romaine lettuce, and thus prevent the spread of contamination. Transfer of MNV-1 occurred more readily to (up to 45%) Romaine lettuce than from (less than 12%) it. Transfer to Romaine lettuce was greater (p<0.05) from vinyl gloves than bare hands and the other glove types tested, while no significant difference (p>0.05) in transfer from lettuce to the different glove types was observed. The results indicate that norovirus transfer can occur readily in a food service setting, and that transfer coefficients are affected by the type of surfaces involved. MNV-1 was reduced by pulsed light by >4-log within 30 sec on all surfaces except nitrile gloves, indicating the potential for this technology to be employed in a food service setting to control the spread of noroviruses during food preparation.

Show moreIt is our objective to create a medium in which to combine the need of proficient web developers for university projects/ jobs as well as others looking for similar services outside of the university, with IIT students looking to gain experience as well as payment, whether through class credits or through wages. We plan to create a business model of a consulting firm that seeks out clients, as well as having clients brought to the firm, realize their needs, create a design document of their proposed website, then seek out the students with the capabilities matching the clients needs and “hire” them for the job, all the while maintaining that the quality of the student’s work will be sufficient to the client and therefore sufficient for our consulting firm. The start up companies/clients we gain will receive knowledge, expertise, and fresh ideas for a much needed website for their company/project. On the other hand the students will receive real-life experience working for a client in a certain timetable, with a standardized set of guidelines while also receiving some form of compensation.

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.

Show moreThe preprint of a published article dealing with the effect of allocating Federal Depositories by Congressional district. Conclusions drawn include the fact that due to redistricting that occurs after each decennial census, over time some districts may have within their boundaries a greater number than the two depositories that Congressional district allocation was intended to produce. Likewise, over time shifting boundaries of districts have created districts that have no depositories whatsoever.

Show moreIPRO 327’s objective is to create a complete set of drawings and specifications of a water distribution system for Pignon, Haiti that can be easily built and used by the town. This is a continuation of a spring 2007 IPRO, which completed mapping of the town. We now seek to design the physical water distribution system that can be sustained for twenty years. To do this, we have identified several factors significant to the success of this system that we will be focusing on. These include finding a water source that can provide a continuous and adequate flow of water, design of a pump and the power source to run it, design of water kiosks and faucets, and design of the piping network with erosion protection. User fees will also be determined for both public and private water lines. The water system will also be designed so that its output may grow with the population of the town over the next twenty years. Through our work, we hope to create a system that can be implemented by Pignon to provide a clean and reliable water source for its citizens.
