The Chicago Fire of 1871: Recovery and Reinforcement of Class Divisions
Get PDFThe Chicago Fire of 1871 demonstrated the resiliency of one of the United States\u27 largest city. Labeled as one of the most devastating disasters to strike an urban area in American history, the aftermath and recovery efforts proved to be critical in keeping Chicago on the map as an economic hub. Often left out of the documented history on the fire is how class divisions were shaped and reinforced through the redevelopment of neighborhoods and distribution of relief in the resurrection period. This project was aimed to root out how class divisions and wealth gaps were reinforced in Chicago considering the distribution of aid, architectural improvements, and the implementation of fire ordinances
Reshaping Global Supply Chain: The US-China Trade War, China’s Zero Covid Policy, and Vietnam’s Trade Boom
Get PDFThe escalating tensions between the United States and China, together with the stringent Zero Covid policy enforced by the Chinese government, have been actively reshaping global supply chains in the past several years. Our project is positioned to examine these two effects on Vietnam\u27s trade engagement. To facilitate our investigation, we compiled export and import data of Vietnam\u27s top 20 trading partners, spanning monthly and yearly intervals. We then explore potential correlations between the US-China trade war, China\u27s lockdown policy, and the trade surge witnessed in Vietnam. Our empirical findings indicate: [a] Both the US-China trade war and China\u27s Zero Covid policy enhance Vietnam\u27s trade with the rest of the world if the two effects are tested separately; [b] If tested simultaneously, the US-China trade war remains statistically significant whereas China\u27s Zero Covid policy does not, which suggests that the former has a more persistent, larger effect than the latter. Scholars and policymakers will discern the relevance of our project in terms of its capacity to elucidate the forces reshaping global supply chains and the dynamics affecting export-led economies, such as China and Vietnam, throughout their enduring evolution.https://scholarship.depauw.edu/srfposters/1129/thumbnail.jp
Pyrrolidine Derivative Targets Actin Cytoskeleton in MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells
Get PDFRecent research has brought pyrrolidine derivatives into consideration for the development of anticancer drugs with high efficacy and low toxicity. Dr. Hansen’s lab at DePauw has synthesized a pyrrolidine derivative that demonstrated anticancer activity. However, there are many ways a compound can affect cancer cells. In this research, we decided to investigate the mechanism of action of this new compound, specifically on MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. Based on the results, we believe that there is a great likelihood that the pyrrolidine derivative can induce apoptosis (cell death) and disrupt cell movement in MCF-7 cells. In other words, these are strong indicators that this compound can inhibit both early and late-stage cancer cells.https://scholarship.depauw.edu/srfposters/1127/thumbnail.jp
Longboard classification using Machine Learning
Get PDFThere are several techniques a rider can choose from that they can perform being distributed along the long-board ride. This research aims to create a machine-learning model that can efficiently classify these techniques at different periods of time using raw acceleration data. This paper presents the complete workflow of the application. This application involves analytical geometry, multidimensional calculus, and linear algebra and can be used to visualize and normalize time-invariant object paths. This model focuses on displacement data calculated from raw acceleration data and gyro sensor data from a smartphone application called Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite . We extracted features from each dynamic window of time in the displacement data and then fed them into machine learning algorithms with various statistical features, including supervised learning classifiers and Long short-term memory. We found that the Decision Tree with post-pruning produces a performance 93.4%, and the Random Forest produces a performance 96.8%. Although Decision Tree works faster than Random Forest, we ultimately used Random Forest classifier in our application, since the application does not perform prediction and classification in real-time.https://scholarship.depauw.edu/srfposters/1126/thumbnail.jp
Modeling Light for Platanus Occidentalis (American Sycamore) Trees in the DePauw Quarry
Get PDFPlatanus Occidentalis, characterized by shedding bark and ball-shaped seed pods, is native to much of the mid-southeastern US, and is commonly used as an ornamental tree. Individuals growing in the quarry of DePauw’s Nature Park are often small, discolored, or even dying. We used devices to measure the UV and Photosynthetically Active Radiation present at the locations of 70 random trees. We then used known sun path equations and GIS to start to develop a way to estimate the maximum amount of time a plant experiences full sun in different locations in the quarry relative to the quarry walls.https://scholarship.depauw.edu/srfposters/1121/thumbnail.jp
