Show moreThis project was done as a response to the thriving public performance community at the northern side of Grant park in Chicago, IL. As a former resident of the South Loop a rift was readily perceived between the North and South ends of the park in both venues for entertainment as well as general amenities. This project looked to fill a void on the south end of the park to create both a more welcoming outdoor space for the public but also to create a performance venue that could help bring business and pedestrian traffic to the southern end of the loop.

Show moreThe old market is medical herbs and dried fish market. Those stores have started with street stalls from 1900. This market was one of the Busan's attractions. However, as department store, big mart and hotels comes around the market. It has lost its competitiveness And this place will be developed as tourist complex area. My goal is to redevelop its original role as market and provide public space for customers and tourist.

Title: Characterization of Novel Concrete Formulations: High-Volume Fly Ash for Precast Industry Use and Non-Proprietary UHPC

Show moreThe use of high-volume fly ash concretes can be challenging for high-early strength applications, such as in precast construction, largely due to potential delays in strength gain resulting from relatively lower heats of hydration of the underlying binder formulations. Considering that the use of higher levels of available fresh or landfilled fly ash as a replacement for traditional ordinary Portland cement (OPC) could result in more sustainable mix designs, a framework to develop novel, high-volume fly ash mixes with optimized dosages of commercial grade gypsum and accelerating admixtures to enhance early-age strength performance. Early-age mechanical properties such as compressive strength, modulus of rupture, and modulus of elasticity were evaluated starting within 24 hours of specimen preparation. Experimental test results were then characterized and subsequently analyzed relative to current design provisions to highlight the best performing trial mixes (with respect to the early-age strength target) and cases where current design provisions are either unconservative or overly-conservative with respect to the test data. Additionally, thermal properties of concrete produced with fly ash were tested with two different curing environments, along with using code equations to determine if high volume fly ash provides a higher thermal resistance compared to OPC concrete. Wrapping up cementitious replacement with non-proprietary ultra high-performance concrete (UHPC) for transportation structures. Then reproducing mixtures to ensure target compressive strength values could be reached. Followed by increasing batch size to a larger quantity using a large mixer to create full-size specimens.

Title: Gender Stereotype Biases Within Law Enforcement Clinical Psychological Evaluation

Show moreFemale representation in law enforcement, despite significant improvements in past decades, remains markedly low at approximately 12%. One possible barrier is the clinical psychological evaluation (CPE), a type of individualized assessment used to evaluate the mental or emotional fitness for duty of applicants. The present study examines the presence of potential gender bias in CPE for law enforcement positions by examining self-report personality assessment scores as well as narrative CPE recommendation reports generated by evaluating psychologists. Archival CPE data collected between 2014 through 2019 was obtained from a personnel selection consulting firm for entry-level law enforcement candidates (n = 390). Data included candidate scores on self-report psychological assessments (16PF, IPI-2), candidate background information, and psychologist-generated evaluation reports. A computer-aided text analysis using LIWC-22 was used to measure gender related inferences in the narrative report. Results indicated that (a) women received significantly lower assessor recommendation ratings than men, (b) significant differences in self-report personality scores were observed, however these were limited to a narrow subsection of traits, (c) gender was no longer a significant predictor of CPE outcome after controlling for applicant personality trait scores, and (d) meaningful differences in agency-related inferences in the narrative reports were observed, but it is unclear whether gender stereotypes influenced the reports. Practical implications, study limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.

Title: Intraoperative Assessment of Surgical Margins in Head And Neck Cancer Resection Using Time-Domain Fluorescence Imaging

Show moreRapid and accurate determination of surgical margin depth in fluorescence guided surgery has been a difficult issue to overcome, leading to over- or under-resection of cancerous tissues and follow-up treatments such as ‘call-back’ surgery and chemotherapy. Current techniques utilizing direct measurement of tumor margins in frozen section pathology are slow, which can prevent surgeons from acting on information before a patient is sent home. Other fluorescence techniques require the measurement of margins via captured images that are overlayed with fluorescent data. This method is flawed, as measuring depth from captured images loses spatial information. Intensity-based fluorescence techniques utilizing tumor-to-background ratios do not decouple the effects of concentration from the depth information acquired. Thus, it is necessary to perform an objective measurement to determine depths of surgical margins. This thesis focuses on the theory, device design, simulation development, and overall viability of time-domain fluorescence imaging as an alternative method of determining surgical margin depths. Characteristic regressions were generated using a thresholding method on acquired time-domain fluorescence signals, which were used to convert time-domain data to a depth value. These were applied to an image space to generate a depth map of a modelled tissue sample. All modeling was performed on homogeneous media using Monte Carlo simulations, providing high accuracy at the cost of increased computational time. In practice, the imaging process should be completed within a span of under 20 minutes for a full tissue sample, rather than 20 minutes for a single slice of the sample. This thesis also explores the effects of different thresholding levels on the accuracy of depth determination, as well as the precautions to be taken regarding hardware limitations and signal noise.

Title: Adaptive Learning Approach of a Domain-Aware CNN-Based Model Observer

Show moreApplication of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for performing defect detection tasks and their use as model observers (MO) has become increasingly popular in the medical imaging field. Building upon this use of CNN MOs, we have trained the CNNs to discern between the data it was trained on, and the previously unseen images. We termed this ability domain awareness. To achieve domain awareness, we are simultaneously training a new variation of U-Net CNN to perform defect detection task, as well as to reconstruct a noisy input image. We have shown that the values of the reconstruction mean squared error can be used as a good indicator of how well the algorithm performs in the defect localization task, making a big step towards developing a domain aware CNN MO. Additionally, we have proposed an adaptive learning approach for training these algorithms, and compared them to the non-adaptive learning approach. The main results that we achieved were for the ideal observers, but we also extended these results to human observer data. We have compared different architectures of CNNs with different numbers and sizes of layers, as well as introduced data augmentation to further improve upon our results. Finally, our results show that the proposed adaptive learning approach with introduced data augmentation drastically improves upon the results of a non-adaptive approach in both human and ideal observer cases.
