Title: Adaptive Control of In-Stream Ocean Current Turbines for Load Reduction.
Creator: Lee, Louis M., VanZwieten, James H., Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry
Abstract/Description: The ocean currents off Florida are a renewable and energy dense resource capable of providing Florida with about 25% of its electricity needs. This current is strongest at the sea surface and decreases in strength with depth such that the individual rotor blades on ocean current turbines (OCT) deployed to harness this resource will operate in stronger currents when positioned vertically upwards than when vertically downwards. This current shear will induce cyclic loadings on the rotor blades...
Show moreThe ocean currents off Florida are a renewable and energy dense resource capable of providing Florida with about 25% of its electricity needs. This current is strongest at the sea surface and decreases in strength with depth such that the individual rotor blades on ocean current turbines (OCT) deployed to harness this resource will operate in stronger currents when positioned vertically upwards than when vertically downwards. This current shear will induce cyclic loadings on the rotor blades unless active control is used to reduce these load variations. A direct adaptive individual blade pitch controller is implemented into a numerical model simulating an OCT operating in the Gulf Stream. The adaptive controller is analyzed with the OCT simulated in both stationary and moored configurations. The results concluded that the IBP controller reduced the amplitude of the loads in the stationary and moored simulations by 91.18% and 92.3%, respectively.

Title: Adult Age Differences in Event Memory for Events.
Creator: Beazley, Joanna, Devlin, Patrick, Earles, Julie, Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry
Abstract/Description: In order to remember an event, one must remember the participants in the event, the actions that are performed, and which people performed which actions. Often people make binding errors in memory in which they remember the people and the actions, but they incorrectly remember one person as the person who performed an action that was actually performed by someone else. Half of the participants in our study saw a series of actions with each action performed by one of two actors. The other half...
Show moreIn order to remember an event, one must remember the participants in the event, the actions that are performed, and which people performed which actions. Often people make binding errors in memory in which they remember the people and the actions, but they incorrectly remember one person as the person who performed an action that was actually performed by someone else. Half of the participants in our study saw a series of actions with each action performed by one of two actors. The other half of the participants saw each action performed by a different actor. We found that older adults were more likely to make binding errors than were younger adults. Younger adults were equally likely to make binding errors in the two conditions. Older adults, however, made many fewer binding errors when they saw only two actors during encoding than when they saw many actors during encoding.

Title: Advanced Adaptive Torque Control of Hydrokinetic Turbines.
Creator: Ramirez, Juan, VanZwieten, James H.
Abstract/Description: Diversifying US energy production to include renewables has been a popular topic of discussion in recent years. In-stream hydrokinetic energy, electricity production from moving currents without the use of dams, has potential for significant power production with technically feasible US electricity production estimated at 14 GW from rivers, 50 GW from tides, and 19 GW from ocean currents; which is equivalent to approximately 17% of 2011 US power production. This work focuses on improving the...
Show moreDiversifying US energy production to include renewables has been a popular topic of discussion in recent years. In-stream hydrokinetic energy, electricity production from moving currents without the use of dams, has potential for significant power production with technically feasible US electricity production estimated at 14 GW from rivers, 50 GW from tides, and 19 GW from ocean currents; which is equivalent to approximately 17% of 2011 US power production. This work focuses on improving the power production from in-stream hydrokinetic turbines using adaptive torque control, and quantifies increased energy production by comparisons with standard fixed-gain torque control. This research uses numerical modeling to acquire power production estimates under simulated conditions. With these results we can quantify potential energy gains for three representative in-stream hydrokinetic rotor designs.

Show moreAs Vans’ market increases, marketers depend on advertising to reinforce competitive advantage. Our research-in-progress demonstrates the methods we used to research. The information gathered from our focus group suggests that durability and comfort are the main factors when making a purchase. Competitors like Converse and Nike use their market share to persuade their buyers to pay a premium price while Vans focus on durability and the lifestyle the shoes brings to the consumers. Our secondary research revealed that millennials are considered the least conservative generation, which implies the rash nature of our target market. With the large growth rate of millennials, their preference pool is strongly influenced by the new wave. In regards to rebranding, vans began using “off the wall” to distance themselves from primarily skating to athleisure wear. Vans are mostly worn in cities with warmer climates to maximize comfort and a feeling of relaxation throughout the day.

Show moreProduct design, a product’s outward appearance, associates with successful innovation when the design triggers buyers to develop positive impressions. The project assessed impressions of forty respondents to four distinctive hoverboard designs: 1) a prototypical design, 2) an ornate design, 3) an atypical design, and 4) a radical design. The original research extended extant research into design impressions of functionality, aesthetics, and symbolism to add an assessment of ergonomic impressions. The systematic research method entailed a literature review, qualitative research, manipulation check, questionnaire pretest, convenience sample, and Chi-Square method enabling inferences with 90% confidence. A consent form and adherence to FAU’s academic integrity provided an ethical foundation. Results suggest that designers of hoverboards conform to the prototypical design to increase positive functional impressions, avoid ornate designs, and consider buyers’ skill level and self-expression when developing atypical designs due to respondents’ negative impressions of safety risks and ability to control a hoverboard.

In the developing world of global economies, people travel on a regular basis. Travelers tend to complain about the Hotel Industry and how it is manipulating prices for their clientele. AirB&B is disrupting the hotel industry by allowing private owners to rent out their properties for short periods of time with less risk. Currently, we have obtained data to prove that AirB&B is satisfying their customers better than regular hotel industry.
We will be comparing how does the number of bedrooms, the accommodations, the price and minimum stay requirements affecting the overall satisfaction of the traveling clientele. We will attempt to compare this data to how the room type effects the reviews and overall satisfaction to all other hotel ratings.

Show moreGopherus polyphemus (gopher tortoise) is a threatened keystone species whose burrows benefit over 350 species. Surveys conducted throughout 2010- 2015 at Florida Atlantic University Preserve (FAUP) have found an age gap of ten years and a lack of nests. To update the demographic survey and to examine the population’s reproduction and health, we conducted burrow and nest surveys from May to September 2016 and collected fecal samples to check for endo-parasites. Transects were used to locate burrows and measurements were taken to determine population structure. Wire-probing was used to locate nests and feces were tested for endo-parasites. From a total of 261 marked burrows and fecal sampling, results indicated a continuous age range, one nest, and presence of intestinal parasites. Future work will focus on health and reproductive behavior that will improve our understanding of the FAUP gopher tortoise population and may ultimately aid in future conservation methods.

Show moreThis research is an examination of the morphological and syntactical features found within verb phrases of Chaldean Neo-Aramaic, a Semitic language which originates from Mesopotamia. From this examination, a configurational model is proposed, which depicts the grammatical arrangement of these morphosyntactic features during verb phrase formation. Additionally, accompanying this description of the language's verb phrases, a dependency-based approach is taken for the analysis of the language's sentence structure. Such a method departs from traditional perspectives which posit that the concept of a sentence is the compositional result of two distinct linguistic elements: a subject and a predicate (the verb phrase). However, from the analysis of the language, an argument is presented for a reconsideration of the conceptualization of a sentence that would position the verb as the primary element, or nucleus, on which all other occurring elements are either directly or indirectly dependent.

Show moreVacuum ultraviolet magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) and absorption spectra of isobutene were obtained experimentally and compared to theoretical data (DFT calculation with Gaussian software) with the goal of better understanding the electronic structure of simple olefins. MCD is the differential absorption of left and right circular polarized light in the presence of an external magnetic field. This means that a MCD spectrum contains both positive and negative peaks while an absorbance spectrum contains only positive peaks. MCD is useful when used in conjunction with a corresponding absorbance spectrum to assign spectral bands that may have been hidden by overlap in the absorbance spectrum. The experimental and theoretical results coincide with the two lowest energy transitions of isobutene being assigned as [...]. This is also consistent with what has been observed in ethylene and propylene, π→π^* is not the lowest transition in mono-olefins.
