Show moreThe purpose of the IPRO is to consider a new generation of cellular towers specifically designed for the urban environment. The IIT campus will serve as a “representative” location on Chicago’s south side for purposes of this project, but the overall objective is to develop a concept and design for a self-contained, secure and environmentally friendly facility that can adapted to almost any other urban location.

Show moreThe objective of IPRO 320, Sustainability Planning of IIT Buildings, is to contribute to the problem solving necessary to implement energy efficiency improvements in existing buildings and to the central steam and electric systems. Alternate possibilities for energy use in context with their building type and surroundings will be discovered through research of other university buildings at the University of Chicago, Loyola University, and IIT. This research will then be used in finding alternate forms of energy generation to secure the sustainability of the IIT campus.

Show moreThe IPRO 337 team’s objectives for this semester are to make further progress in updating the top floor of Machinery Hall into a lab for future energy and lighting technology research. The research conducted this semester will help us transform the space into a more sustainable working environment. Since the ultimate goal is rather ambitious, our goal for this particular semester is to implement an energy plan which will become the basis off of which the future IPRO’s will continue towards the ultimate goal. We also intend to clear the space so that the developed plan can be tested.

Show moreThis thesis explores the dynamics of a three-dimensional four-bar mechanical linkage subject to random external forcing. The Lagrangian formulation of the equations of motion are index-3 stochastic di erential-algebraic equations (SDAE) that describe the time evolution of the sample paths of the generalized coordinates, velocities, and Lagrange multipliers as stochastic processes. We solve the SDAEs using two di erent approaches: inverse dynamics, Case Study 1, via independent, successive solution of the nonlinear equations for each kinematic variable, where the time evolution of one generalized coordinate is prescribed; and direct dynamics, Case Study 2, via direct solution of the SDAEs in the index-1 formulation, using fourth-order stochastic backward di erentiation formula (BDF) with modi ed Newton iteration and position and velocity stabilization (Ascher and Petzold [2]), where the (deterministic) input driving torque is prescribed. For the particular application of a three-dimensional swing gate security system, we conduct numerical experiments for both approaches. In Case Study 1, we simulate the random external forcing as a Gaussian wind speed process that applies stochastic wind drag onto the gate. The kinematic variables are deterministic, while the required input driving torque is a stochastic process. In Case Study 2, we apply the external forcing as a resistive torque with additive Gaussian noise modeling the wind drag; the kinematic variables are stochastic processes. For both cases, we apply four mean wind speeds: 0 mph (deterministic only), 10 mph, 20 mph, and 30 mph, from which we compute the deterministic solution and three stochastic sample paths for each stochastic process. The overall conclusions are that direct solution is possible for inverse dynamics, that the solution of index-1 SDAEs in multibody dynamics is tractable since the mass matrix is symmetric and positive de nite, and that the deterministic solution is the expectation of the sample paths.

Title: GENOME ANNOTATION AND PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF 27 SALMONELLA STRAINS BASED ON BIOINFORMATIC ANALYSIS OF RESPECTIVE GENOMES AND THREE GENES

Show moreSalmonella is the most common food-borne bacterial infectious pathogen worldwide. Different serovars of Salmonella are capable of infecting different kinds of hosts, such as humans, mice, pigs, chickens, and can also lead to different syndromes, such as enterica fever, enterocolitis and diarrhea, bacteremia and chronic asymptomatic carriage. Although Salmonella strains are quite diverse, strains within the same serovar usually infect the same host and cause similar symptoms. Thus, it is important, especially in food-borne disease outbreaks, to know which type of Salmonella is present. The current method of typing Salmonella is based on the Kaufmann-White scheme and MLEE, which are laborious and expensive. Although the reliability of this method has not been previously verified, the evolutionary relationship reflected by phylogenetic trees can be a possible alternative to the way of typing the Salmonella strains; this method would be less labor intensive and more economical. MLST is considered as a “gold standard” of typing for many species includes Salmonella. And genome sequence, which certainly reflects the evolutionary relationship of strains, is the most ideal data to construct a more reliable phylogenetic tree; however, genome sequencing is also a laborious and expensive process. Thus, conserved and ubiquitous gene data, which can be accessed with little effort, are generally used to minimize cost. Using16s rRNA is the most widely used method. In this study, 27 Salmonella genome sequences are annotated with RAST, and phylogenetic trees are constructed using three software, (phylip3.69, MEGA5.1, and CVTree). And MLST is also used to construct phylogenetic tree in this study, and the result is used to be compared with genome phylogenetic tree to find a more reliable reference tree. Although Neighbor-Joining method is the only algorithms x available in CVTree, phylip3.69 and MEGA5.1 are capable to use three separate algorithms(Maximum Parsimony, Maximum Likelihood, and Neighbor-Joining, respectively). Finally, these trees are compared in an effort to find a good alternative to replace the reference phylogenetic tree. In this study, it was determined that the groEL gene would be the best replacement.

Show moreIPRO 312 for Spring 2007 was initially intended to research rapid response manufacturing of casters for Colson Associates; however, as objectives of the company shifted course, IPRO 312 was left without a target of research. A new idea of pharmaceuticals arose as a topic of study. The teammates were determined to hunt for information pertaining to problems in the pharmaceutical field, but this determination was cut short by the realization that it is a very secure, secretive, and private business. The teammates of this IPRO were not discouraged by this obstacle and kept pressing for information. The advisor, Prof. Maurer, brought in speakers from the field and helped the class change its direction into what it is today: Comparative Industrial Operations Analysis.

The team will develop an external marketing and sponsor relationship strategy and create the internal processes needed to manage an aggressive and sustaining marketing program that begins in the Chicago area, but has the potential to extend to the rest of the U.S. and around the world, particularly with the involvement and support of alumni. The goal is to attract and sustain over the long term sponsoring organizations that can provide exciting and valuable project ideas that challenge students to apply their knowledge and think across professional boundaries. The spring 2004 339 team will continue the work of the fall team and develop best practices for achieving the interprofessional learning objectives within the IPRO course format in ways that engage and motivate students in stimulating and productive ways. This can include a range of supporting information and resources for teams: creating high performance teams, managing projects, leadership development, design processes, innovation and technology commercialization, ethics and social responsibility, environmental and manufacturing sustainability, and safety, security and legal issues. The team will develop and demonstrate e-learning course modules that will benefit all teams.

Show moreThe goal of IPRO 320 is to create an online professional network for school teachers at the kindergarten through twelfth grade level to allow for the sharing of ideas, lesson plans and other professionally relevant information. This is a continuing project which saw limited success in the previous semester in that a functioning web site was constructed based on surveys of public school teachers but it saw very little use. This semester, the planned approach is to build on the research generated last semester by performing additional market research with teachers. Following that, IPRO 320 will rework much of the previous web site by refining some of the features, adding additional ones as the research indicates and improving the website in general, both functionally and aesthetically.
