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

In this exploratory study, we examined undergraduates’ (N ¼ 298) knowledge of their university’s social media policies, understanding of free speech and privacy protections, opinions about university monitoring and discipline for personal social media posts, and perceptions of fairness regarding recent cases of student discipline for personal social media use. The results of our study indicate that most undergraduates are highly underinformed as to whether or not their university has a social media policy, particularly if the students are early in their academic careers and do not engage in many online privacy protection behaviors. Most participants were also misinformed as to whether free speech and/or privacy protections will shield them from university discipline. In addition, most participants (78%) were opposed to the idea of universities monitoring students’ personal social media accounts, though significantly fewer (68%) were opposed to monitoring student athletes’ social media. Finally, when asked about several recent cases involving student discipline, most participants were generally opposed to a variety of university disciplinary actions regarding students’ social media posts. We discuss these findings as they relate to the need for better social media policy training for students, as well as the potential impact on students’ academic and future careers

This disclosure examines using alginate lyase to catalytically degrade alginate in order to decrease affinity and fouling potential to membranes of 0.2 and 0.02 μm pore size, respectively within a process line of a filtration system. Enzymatically treated alginate caused less fouling on both ultrafiltration and microfiltration membranes than original alginate. Enzymatically treated alginate is predicted to cause less fouling on both membranes within the pH range of approximately 3.0 to approximately 10.0. Without the presence of calcium cation, alginate lyase reduced the foulant resistance by more than 82% for both membranes. In the presence of 1 mM calcium cation, alginate lyase reduced the foulant resistance by more than 55%. In addition, the foulant structure composed of enzymatically treated alginate was more readily removed by backwashing, suggesting reversible fouling. The advantages of using enzymatic technique to control membrane fouling include high efficiency and no damage to the membrane materials

This Special Project focuses on professional learning paraprofessionals working in Special Education receive as well as need to maximize knowledge and understanding regarding studentsu27 individualized needs. Professional learning is a growing trend in the field of special education, however, paraprofessionals working in Special Education received limited professional learning. A needs assessment survey was given to current paraprofessionals and teachers working in Special Education to analyze what professional learning has previously been offered as well as possible future topics. The findings from the literature review and the needs assessment survey supported the needs for a handbook to be created. The handbook will better facilitate professional learning for paraprofessionals working in Special Education and assist in better understanding studentsu27 individualized needs

Settled in the Midwest, Madison is the capital of Wisconsin and a prime location for students and professionals alike to grow and learn as a community. Every day, the community is developing with sidewalk renovations, improved ways of transportation, and keeping education a top priority. Madison is a leader in the economic world providing many social activities, galleries, museums, quaint shops, unique restaurants, and an upbeat nightlife. Along with the prominent economic status of Madison, employers are exceedingly interested in the amount of college educated workers. Many of those people who reside in Madison are employed by the college, creating a large support system for graduate and undergraduate college students, and those students in high school wishing to further their education. More in tuned to the design field, Madison is within close distance to many of the famous Frank Lloyd Wright’s structures. Some of the structures close by that inspired the design of the Wright Community Learning Center are Falling Water and the West Lawn House. Wright was known for creating spaces not only beautiful in design, but also for keeping his spaces functional and efficient. As a collaborative team of designers, we have come up with an educational center geared towards teaching and educating about creative interior design. Since property taxes in Madison are high, the design center will focus on educating professionals and students to effectively conserve space. It is essential to the community of Madison that designers learn to find ways to keep spaces small, yet functional and efficient to the end user. The Wright Community Learning Center provides a space for professionals, students, and the community to gather. By integrating a new concept of vertical learning into the space, we can reach students and professionals of all ages. Vertical learning is learning about a topic or concentrating on a subject matter in a deeper manner. This technique also creates a sense of unity for students to feel a part of larger group, rather than students that are the same age. By incorporating the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and the vertical learning technique, students are inspired to be creative and have the opportunity to network, learn, and produce unique designs as a community.http://opus.ipfw.edu/stu_symp2016/1020/thumbnail.jp

The expressive, communicative nature of music is a foundation of music therapy, particularly in regard to the client’s ability to interact with others, and to the music therapist’s mediation of the client’s therapeutic needs through music engagement. We typically describe this process as though the music therapist’s own interactive capabilities create the possibilities. In reality, both therapist and client are engaged in a process of learning how to listen to the other, and developing effective interpersonal communication. They each may, in fact, be located in various positions within the complex and multifaceted aspects of music and arts engagement as they interact and shape original, shared, expressive communication and language. This theoretical presentation will explore the highly complex nature of listening and expressing, and how music and the other expressive arts build mediators that allow individuals to understand and to be understood, from the micro level of the self to the macro level of communities and societies. Clinical case examples will be used to exemplify different aspects of this phenomenon

The current political climate has made it apparent that the general public does not believe in global warming. Also, there appears to be some confusion between global warming and climate change; global warming is one aspect of climate change. Most scientists believe there is climate change and global warming, although, there is still doubt among students on global warming. Some upper level undergraduate students are required to conduct water level/temperature measurements as part of their course grade. In addition to students having their individual projects, the various classes also utilize a well field within a wetland on campus to conduct group projects. Twelve wells in the well field on campus are used regularly by students to measure the depth of groundwater, the temperature of the waters and other basic water chemistry parameters like pH, conductivity and total dissolved solid (TDS) as part of the class group project. The data collected by each class is added to data from previous classes. Students work together as a group to interpret the data. More than 100 students have participated in this venture for more than 10 years of the four upper level courses: hydrogeology, environmental and urban geology, environmental conservation and wetlands. The temperature trend shows the seasonal variation as one would expect, but it also shows an upward trend (warming). These data demonstrate a change in climate and warming. Thus, the students participated in data collection, learn to write report and present their result to their peers in the classrooms

Animal microbiomes have become increasingly regarded as a system responsible for supporting vital functions, such as digestion, amino acid production, and immune response. Despite their importance, there is limited understanding of the microbiome of sea turtles and the effect it has on their overall health. Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) provide an interesting model of change in these microbial communities since they undergo a pronounced shift from a surface-pelagic distribution and omnivorous diet to a more shallow coastal distribution and herbivorous diet. We investigated the cloacal microbiomes of juvenile green turtles before and after this recruitment to neritic waters to characterize and assess any changes in their microbial community structure. Green turtles were captured among the pelagic Sargassum habitat in the Gulf of Mexico, and within the neritic foraging grounds of St. Joseph Bay and St. Andrew Bay, FL, USA. Additionally, we captured turtles in the surf zone of Santa Rosa Island (SRI), FL, USA with the expectation that the site may harbor an intermediate stage within the shift from pelagic habitats to shallow bays since this is a relatively understudied neritic habitat for green turtles. Cloacal swabs were taken from each turtle and the DNA was isolated for analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences using high-throughput Illumina sequencing. One fecal sample was also collected opportunistically from a pelagic individual. We found that pelagic and neritic juvenile green turtle bacterial communities were significantly different. However, samples from SRI were more similar to those from the pelagic habitat (ANOSIM; R2 = 0.556) than the bays (ANOSIM; R2 = 0.988). These results suggest that the environment and dietary resources in neritic habitats support different bacterial communities in green turtles than pelagic habitats. Furthermore, the relative similarity between microbial communities from the cloaca of pelagic juvenile green turtles and those from SRI may be due to the beachfront serving as an intermediate habitat during the turtle’s recruitment to coastal bays. This is the first study to characterize the cloacal microbiome of the green sea turtle in the context of their ontogenic dietary shift. Understanding how the microbiome of green turtles can change throughout their ontogeny could provide valuable insight into the origins of their gut bacteria and how the microbial community supports their shift to herbivory

The layout of a space station should be designed in such a way that different equipment and instruments are placed for the station as a whole to achieve the best overall performance. The station layoutdesign is a typical nondeterministic polynomial problem. In particular, how to manage the design complexity to achieve an acceptable solution within a reasonable timeframe poses a great challenge. In this article, a new evolutionary algorithm has been proposed to meet such a challenge. It is called as the expert-guided evolutionary algorithm with a tree-like structure decomposition (EGEA-TSD). Two innovations in EGEA-TSD are (i) to deal with the design complexity, the entire design space is divided into subspaces with a tree-like structure; it reduces the computation and facilitates experts’ involvement in the solving process. (ii) A human–intervention interface is developed to allow experts’ involvement in avoiding local optimums and accelerating convergence. To validate the proposed algorithm, the layout design of one-space station is formulated as a multi-disciplinary design problem, the developed algorithm is programmed and executed, and the result is compared with those from other two algorithms; it has illustrated the superior performance of the proposed EGEA-TSD

We investigated sexting coercion (i.e., being coerced to send sexually-explicit text or picture messages) as a component of intimate partner abuse (IPA) polyvictimization. Although interesting gender differences emerged, data suggest the presence of sexting coercion is associated with more negative effects than traditional forms of IPA occurring alone
