In a recent study, a lower bound is established on the blow up time for solutions of a chemotaxis system, with nonlinear chemotactic sensitivity u(u+1)m−1, set in the three-dimensional unit ball. Here, u is the density of a cell or organism that produces a chemical, with density v, and moves preferentially toward regions of higher concentration of v according to the flux . With χu3e0, v is referred to as a “chemoattractant” and, in the case m=1, the system reduces to a version of the Keller–Segel model. Solutions that blow up in finite time have been previously established for the system on a ball in Rn provided n≥2, mu3e2/n. For technical reasons, the lower bound proven for the blow up time applies in such cases when n=3and m≤2. We extend the analysis and resulting lower bound to such a model in general convex domains, with n≥2 and any m

I am Nathan Garstka, a senior History major at IPFW with a minor in political science. I’ve spent four years at IPFW and plan to graduate in 2016. The area of history I am most interested in is the late Roman Republic and Early Empire. Before college I went to Woodlan Jr./Sr. High School in Woodburn Indiana. At Woodlan I was in the marching band for 6 years, starting in 7th grade. We went to state finals for class D three times out of the four years I was actually in High School. After graduating college I hope to get a decent job that will allow me to travel sporadically

The present research examined whether social anxiety moderates the potential relationship between conversation medium and interpersonal connectedness. Hypotheses predicted that individuals with high social anxiety would demonstrate greater interpersonal connectedness following instant messaging conversations; whereas, individuals with low social anxiety would report greater interpersonal connectedness following face-to-face and phone conversations. Undergraduate participants (N = 165) were randomly assigned to one of three conversation mediums (face-to-face, phone or instant messaging) during which they engaged in an interaction with an unfamiliar partner. Participants completed a measure of social anxiety before the interaction and measures of interpersonal connectedness prior to and following the interaction. Results revealed that level of social anxiety is a significant contingent condition for the association between type of conversation medium and attitude homophily (i.e., a measure of interpersonal connectedness). For individuals with low social anxiety, scores on the attitude homophily measure were significantly lower in the instant messaging condition, compared to the face-to-face and phone conditions

Successfully preparing prospective and practicing teachers to blog as a means of professional development requires more than simply introducing popular blogging platforms, teaching technical moves and assigning an arbitrary number of blog posts. To assist teacher educators who aim to engage teachers in sustained blogging to advance their professional growth, the author presents instructional methods drawn from scholarship on effective writing instruction, including the following: examining mentor texts in the form of teacher-generated blog posts; exploring writing territories (i.e., the topics, genres and audiences for whom a teacher could write); and pursuing specific purposes for writing to generate a number of focused blog posts from a single general topic of professional interest

Nonverbal immediacy behaviors are underresearched in the online teaching environment. Using social presence theory as a guiding framework, this study explores several online nonverbal immediacybehaviors: emoticons/figurative language, color, cohesion, visual imagery, and audio in course design; response latency, length, time of day, and message frequency in forums; and type and promptness of feedback via grading and email. Coding of 51 online courses found that more consistent use of nonverbal immediacy behaviors was related to students’ reports of higher course engagement. However, the nonverbal behaviors most associated with engagement were the ones not used as often. Findings indicate instructors can improve the effectiveness of online learning environments via nonverbal immediacy behaviors

Historians long viewed the 8th century Battle of Tours as a defining event in the history of Europe, and interpretation of the meaning of this battle, both at the time it was fought and well after, has been fraught with controversy. My poster illustrates the beliefs held for centuries by many Westerners of the two dichotomous groups who fought this battle. They characterized the Muslims as expansionist and malevolent and trying to gain more territory and plunder. On the other side of the conflict, historians have viewed the medieval Christians as isolationist and respectable. These beliefs embody dogmas that are still evident among some groups even today. However, this poster suggests that even though these beliefs were upheld by scholars and in popular opinion for many centuries, these ideas are most likely false. While this particular battle happened over a millennium ago, the way it was portrayed in Christian chronicles and later Western histories as a radical encroachment of Islam on Christianity has led to the widespread idea that Western Civilization would have been completely altered if the Muslim forces would have been able to breach the European might. The majority of medieval European Christians believed that Islam was certainly capable of becoming the dominant religion in Europe if this critical battle was lost. Where cathedrals and churches dotted the landscape, medieval Christians feared that mosques and minarets would take their place if the Muslims would have been able to complete their conquest. For centuries, European historians and Western observers more broadly considered the Battle of Tours to be the climax of defeating Islamic invasion into the “civilized” West. The poster provides the background, location, and contenders of the battle, but also insists that this conflict may not have been as decisive as earlier writers have assumed. Primary sources from an anonymous Arab chronicler from 732, and two Christian writers, Isidore of Beja and St. Denis reveal perspectives from both sides of the conflict, and images from medieval European artists display a Christian bias. Ideas from secondary sources describing the battle from various angles are synthesized, and the modern relevance of this battle is challenged. This poster provides the viewer a clearer image of what happened at the Battle of Tours, and also what might have happened if Charles “The Hammer” Martel lost.http://opus.ipfw.edu/stu_symp2017/1023/thumbnail.jp

Creative project abstract: I am presenting a creative project of a short animation movie using the technique of Claymation based on the work of Tim Burton. The main purpose of this creative project proposal is to understand animating technique of Tim Burton, and how he set modeled the characters and scenarios to create cinematic storytelling. The goals of my project are: 1. Develop a character based on Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas to implement the technique he used to animate his puppets. 2. Study and apply the illumination technique used in his movies 3. Study and apply Tim Burton’s visual affects 4. Understand and apply how he used the camera to capture the Claymation animated scenes. The conclusion of this creative project will have a great impact in my future professional work as an animator, and how to become a successful developer of characters in the gaming industry. This will help me in my further career is because developing characters and scenery will allow to further my knowledge with character development. Character development is a crucial part to video game designhttp://opus.ipfw.edu/stu_symp2017/1034/thumbnail.jp

I am presenting a Creative/Research project of a phone game based on the work of past successful phone games including Temple Run and Subway Surfer. The main purpose of this creative project proposal is to understand the design of characters and environment in order to create an effective and enjoyable game for kids. The goals of my project are: 1. Develop one character that would entertain children in an interactive basis through compelling graphics and gaming object manipulation. 2. Study past characters in other games and apply different characters that are memorable, and functional as a reinvented feature in future versions of this video game. 3. Understand and design the concept of an environment that would become an engaging immersive scenario for the character adventures, and interaction with the phone game users. The conclusions of this creative project will have a great impact in my future professional work as an animator, and to understand how to become a successful 3d modeler in the industry.http://opus.ipfw.edu/stu_symp2017/1033/thumbnail.jp

am presenting a creative project for an animated cartoon using traditional frame-by-frame animation. I chose to make the animation frame by frame with a style opposite to Disney quality of animation. I expect that the impact I want from this style of animation is that people can enjoy both visually and verbally. I feel that horror films would be fitting for the setting this cartoon takes place in since this cartoon does take place in a horrifying world like hell. I thought it would be neat to have a reference to Doom2 since in that game you play as a space marine who fights demons. Synopsis: As the man manages to dodge the onslaught of knives being swung at him, he hears the demon yell at him in a language that sounds reversed. The man then gets the idea to use a tape recorder that he conveniently had on him in an attempt to understand the demon. The language turns out to be English, but in reverse. This gives the human the idea to communicate to the demon through the tape recorder. The human tells the demon to stop attacking because humans don’t like being chopped up. Intrigued by these words, the demon stops attacking, curious to hear what the human has to say. After communicating through the tape recorder for some time, the demon signals to the little human to hold on for just a moment, and then looks for a more convenient means of communication. The demon spots a fishbowl with two goldfish back at his work table. Taking the fishbowl, he pulls one fish out and then jams it into the human’s ear, and then puts the other fish into his ear. After discovering that the goldfish allow the two to understand each other completely, the demon introduces himself to be Bruce Firebone. The human then introduces himself to be George Marino. After discussing for some time, Bruce decides that George isn’t such a bad guy and decides to invite George to stay with his family for the weekend. In a cave-like house, Bruce introduces George to an abnormally tall imp woman with a thick Russian accent who goes by the name Klavdiya Firebone, who is just short of being Bruce’s height. Climbing on the wall is their son, Henry Firebone, a slim, normal-sized imp who is just short of George’s height. Coming out of a hole in the wall is the family pet disembodied hand, Handy, who tries to strangle George. The main goal I have for this project is to develop a cartoonish style similar to the likes of Peter Hannan’s CatDog and to develop a style of writing based on Hanna Barbera’s The Flintstones and Seinfeld. I hope for this project to help me better understand what it’s like to collaborate with other people and to improve me as an animator and develop cinematic narrative. ______2 is a 1993 science fiction horror-themed first-person shooter (FPS) video game by id Software. It is considered one of the most significant and influential titles in video game history, for having helped to pioneer the nowubiquitous first-person shooter. The original game was divided into three nine-level episodes and was distributed via shareware and mail order. The Ultimate Doom, an updated release of the original game featuring a fourth episode, was released in 1995 and sold at retail. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_(1993_video_game)http://opus.ipfw.edu/stu_symp2017/1019/thumbnail.jp

For my creative endeavor symposium, I would like to focus on the topic of being an “only child.” I am a senior in IPFW’s Visual Communication and Design program, and I am currently in the process of starting my senior thesis on the same topic. Through national and regional research, I would like to be able to show statistics about being an only child, the positives and negatives, and also to be able to showcase this through photography. My photographic exploration of the experience of being an only child will start with me. I am an only child myself, and this will be the main aspect motivating my work. I will be creating an online survey to ask peoples thoughts and opinions on what it was like to be an only child, or is like. I will then use my photographic images to showcase these findings. For this specific project I will interview six subjects, and include personal quotes in my visual design aspect of this project
