"Global Link to Aid Distribution (GLAD)"
Aaron Perry
Created in: I 590 Informatics HCID Level 1
Faculty sponsor: Dr. Marty Siegel
Malnutrition is a severe problem in many countries around the world,
particularly those affected by natural disasters and political unrest.
There are many organizations working to address this problem, yet there is
not an effective system to coordinate the collaboration of such efforts.
This project uses technology to improve the centralization of aid efforts.
The system includes both a database to store information about available and
requested aid, as well as an interface for technologies that Relief Workers
can use in the field to access the aid information.

"Modeling the Copper-binding Domain of Alzheimer's Amyloid-beta Peptide"
Yogita Mantri
Created in: C880, Research in Biological Chemistry
Faculty sponsor: Mu-Hyun Baik
Amyloid-beta peptides are suspected to be directly involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Extensive experimental work suggests that they bind copper ions and reduce dioxygen to catalytically generate hydrogen peroxide, which ultimately causes tissue damage. The exact structure of this peptide-Cu complex is currently not known. A combination of computational chemistry tools including Molecular Dynamics, Quantum Mechanics and combined Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics is being used to model this peptide.

Many Rivers to Cross: A Congolese Immigrant's Story of Survival, Success and Sacrifice
By Rhonda Sexton Bailey
“Many Rivers to Cross” is a student documentary that examines the transition of a Congolese immigrant to Indiana . It describes Mr. Bovic Buhendwa's struggles in migrating with his family to the US . Mr. Buhendwa's is an eyewitness to the tragedies depicted in the movie "Hotel Rwanda.” The documentary is intended to provoke students to examine their feelings about immigrants and look at how other people - like Albert Einstein for example - contribute to this country through their time, talent, and resources.
The project was the result of an independent study course. It was created using Final Cut Pro software to edit the video and Photoshop for editing photos. The final format of the documentary is DVD.

Sutadi
By Melanie Reed and Paul Whitaker
Sutadi (Soo-tah-dee) is the Japanese word for study. This project is an
ASP.NET-based interactive educational web site whose design enables users of
any computer expertise level to study programming languages and test new
concepts without the need for proprietary software.
The project's purpose is to engage both beginning and experienced users in a
single environment accessible anywhere that provides guided tutorials,
experiential learning of new concepts with a web-based compilation testing
tool, and interactive tutoring support for trouble areas. Sutadi which won
semi-final honors in the 2005 Imagine Cup world competition, was created by
Melanie Reed, Pam Chadsey, Paul Whitaker, and Jeremy Reed.

General Studies Club Website
By Barbara Patterson
The website was created to "advertise" the General Studies Club, which is a campus-based student organization. The project entailed contacting the client, creating a business proposal, conducting usability tests, and the creation of a functional website on the Champion server.
As a result of the project, the General Studies club has now a functioning website it can use to attract new members, gather attendees for club events, and to help inform the General Studies student body. The website was created in the IUPUI course W315

Faculty Sponsor: Dr. Bonnie Blazer-Yost
HTML, java script, PHP, asp.net and XML!! Do all these abbreviations scare
you? Look no further. Making websites is much easier than you think. If you
are someone looking for a simple way to begin on how to make a website, the
application for you is Microsoft Publisher. This application is available
to all faculty, staff and students conveniently via IUware and best of all,
it¹s FREE. The website is navigable in most of the frequently used web
browsers and more. The application aids in building a website with a
professional front, simplicity, which is user friendly and easy to navigate.
It also enables a user to easily navigate the functions available under
Microsoft Publisher. This can be beneficial for faculty in research who
would like to have a manageable website, students who are developing their
personal website which is easy to browse and graduating students for their
small start up businesses.

Electronic and Experimental Music Ensemble
Tony Norton, James Baker, Jesse Tryon, Chip Hall, Ed Batista, Eugene Baburin, Jenifer Grossnickle
Electronic and experimental music ensemble is a class that is being proposed
for the fall 2006 semester in the School of Music. There has been much
interest from students regarding an ensemble for electronic music. The class
is a "pilot" study in an attempt to discover if there is a wider interest in
such an ensemble or other electronic music related classes.
The project is an interactive presentation that allows attendees to use
synthesizers, drum machines, computers, and more to get a feel of what it¹s
like to create music electronically.

fall of 2005. This project incorporates much of what I've learned at IUSB as
both an undergraduate and graduate student. It implements data structures,
object-oriented design, computer graphics, calculus, physics, simulation
modeling, and many other areas of study.

"A Swarm Intelligence Approach to Counting Stacked Symmetric Objects"
Chad George
Created in: C335 – Computer Structures
Faculty sponsor: Dr. James Wolfer
In a manufacturing environment it is often necessary to perform a
manual inventory of finished goods and raw materials. These raw
materials might be wood, plastic or metal and often represent a large
investment of capital to procure and store. While the economic value of
an accurate inventory is high, the process of obtaining a good count is
tedious and fraught with human error. As a precursor to counting an
inventory of tubular steel bar stock from digital images, we present a
hybrid algorithm inspired by ant colony and particle swarm
technology. This algorithm defines an environmental habitat for
interacting particles to competitively cluster into segmented colonies.
By forming colonies at bar stock end profile locations the algorithm
provides potentially countable high-level information.
