Show moreThe problem posed at Queen of Peace High School is one of sustainability. The IPRO 314 team will focus on the reuse and greening of existing school facilities and grounds. Three major spaces currently hold latent potential at the school: the abandoned convent/dormitory, library and inner courtyards, used correctly they can become a catalyst for positive change. It is proposed that the dormitory be torn down, in its place a “community center” would be constructed. The space will service extracurricular activities at the school, public outreach programs (i.e. youth groups, cub/girl scouts, etc.), club rooms and a new space for library books storage and usage. The second space being addressed is the library, given its current isolated position the space would be transformed into a communication and media center equipped with the technology necessary for worldwide communication. The third space addressed is the inner courtyards of the building. With six dispersed throughout the school grounds, they can become an active part of the recreational aspect of the school’s environment: places of social interaction, outdoor classrooms, etc. Additionally, the greening techniques proposed for the school’s facilities will include methods for efficiency improvement, education and school promotion.

Show moreIPRO 332’s objective is to develop the groundwork for a tool, to be implemented either in Chicago Public School classrooms or community centers, which will deliver balanced, non-biased information to its constituents about energy issues that affect their daily lives. We seek to do this, firstly, by familiarizing ourselves with the most pressing energy issues, identifying knowledge deficits concerning these issues, and selecting areas around which our concentrated effort will be most productive. Second, we will be studying current teaching methodologies and technologies in order to ensure our tool is as effective as possible. And, finally, we will identify companies, agencies and organizations currently working to deliver energy information, and learn from their expertise and experience. Through this research, we hope to learn from those currently endeavoring to spread fact-based information about energy, while developing a program of our own that ascribes to the requirements of the Chicago Public Schools’ Curriculum guidelines.

Show moreThe IPRO goal was to design a process for the production of the biotherapeutic compound IFN-Alpha from Chinese Hamster ovaries. After the process design was complete, a process flow diagram showing the actual process and separation steps was created and finally an economic analysis of the market feasibility of the product was prepared. The approach to the IPRO involved dividing the objectives into three major groups: (1) the Che 496 group was involved in the process design and the separation processes; (2) the Che 296 group was involved in the public perception of biotechnology, the useful products from biotechnology and the survey of the commercial biotherapeutic compounds; and (3) the 435 group was involved with the history of biotherapeutics, classification and actions infernos and the companies involved in the production of therapeutics. The individual members of these groups are seen on the team list below.

Show moreNanopore stochastic sensor using a biological protein ion channel has emerged as a powerful sensing technique due to its outstanding features such as label- and amplification-free detection, rapidness, high sensivity and selectivity. Development of a nanopore stochastic sensor for the rapid detection of anthrax can effectively prevent and control the spread of disease infection, and become extremely useful in biodefense. Two sensor design strategies were studied: one is chemistry-based detection of dipicolinic acid; and the other is genetics-based detection of anthrax lethal factor. Both approaches used in this study should find useful application in the development of nanopore sensors for the detection of other biomolecules and pathogens.

Show moreA lethality-based control system was designed to provide accurate control of a high temperature shout time (HTST) pasteurizer and to process milk products with a lethality equivalent of 161 degrees F (71.67 degrees C) or above for 15 s. This control system provides significant flexibility in operating the process and optimizing functional properties of the food components. Multivariable control of an HTST pasteurizer is implemented by using product total lethality to determine the controller set-points. The equation that relates the temperature and flow rate combinations to the product total lethality, 161 degrees F (71.67 degrees C), 15 s, was modified to permit overprocessing levels specified by plant personnel. By using this equation and the set-point value selected for the other variable, set-point values for the temperature or the flow rate controller were computed. The flow and temperature controllers are integrated into a real-time monitoring and control system. The monitoring and control system includes the multivariable controller, the lethality rate calculation module, statistical monitoring of the total lethality, product flow rate, hot wafer outlet temperature, and holding tube exit temperature measurements, and the display screens for visual inspection of the monitoring tools. This study attempted to achieve compliance of the HTST process operation with the recommended Pasteurized Milk Ordinance by providing a margin between the alarm limits of the monitoring chart and the safety limits.

Show moreEfficiency in parking facilities has been set to low standards since self-parking was introduced in the 1950s1. As technology has developed, parking has been left in the past. Drivers are increasingly realizing the problem as they become accustomed to other technology, which increases the efficiency of their lives (eg smartphones). While driving around searching for an open lot, circling a garage for an parking spot, or wandering through garage a looking for a parked car, people have time to ponder the many improvements that should be made to the parking experience. Simply Park: IPRO 365 is taking initiative to seize the possibilities new technologies offer the parking industry. The result should be improved driver experience as well as increased efficiency and profitability of parking facilities. The system will include signs visible to passersby that display the number of vacancies within a parking facility. Once in the parking facility, additional signs will direct drivers to sections of the facility with vacancies. Colored lights above each parking spot will indicate the state of occupancy for quick reference when looking down an aisle. When a driver parks, the ticket they receive at the entrance gate will associate their ticket to the spot they parked in, so when the driver returns to the facility he/she can present his/her ticket to a kiosk which will notify him/her how to get back to his/her car. As the vehicle leaves the ticket association will be reset and displays will update to show one more spot available. Additional interfaces through mobile and internet applications will further expedite the parking process. 1National

Show moreIndividuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) are at greater risk for medical problems, and an important part of lifelong rehabilitation is the prevention of these complications. Areas of concern include pressure ulcers, lower urinary tract problems, respiratory infections, chronic pain, depression, obesity, leg spasms, bowel impaction, cardiovascular problems, poverty and social isolation. Programs that can prevent or manage these problems from the patients home are at the forefront of medicine today. Web based technology holds great promise in this area because of its interactivity, easy access, availability throughout the day, and low cost. The purpose of this IPRO is to develop a Web site or a model of a site for home-based activities and to have the site evaluated by stakeholders at Hines VA Hospital SCI Service. The seven SCI physicians and two nurse practitioners associated with this Service are very enthusiastic about meeting with students to provide their input related to any Web platforms that may be created. Specific tasks for the project include: (1) Structure of the site to incorporate such elements as: (a) One secure Home Web page with additional secure Web pages for each patient, (b) Web pages for each of a patients problems and programs for management, (c) Access by care givers to the patients Web pages for monitoring, feedback and communication with the patient; (2) A database that includes: (a) Data from structured questionnaires (already developed) related to secondary complications. Patients would be expected to periodically answer the questions associated with their problem areas; (b) Longitudinal summary reports of a patient's responses to easily show condition progress;(3) Two-way communications that includes: comment boxes for staff and patients to communicate or chat in each problem area;(4) Integrates standard home healthcare program components that include: These include stress management, exercise, and medication management. Tracking should include performance and feedback;(5) Solutions for Web access by the patients that offer possibilities: Solutions could including Web TV, a specially designed low-cost computer with Web access, or a PDA; (6) HIPPA and VA patient confidentiality.
