description: A local attempt to feed the hungry and reduce food waste and its disposal costs from NJ restaurants
description: Hunger is a serious problem worldwide.  There are many hungry Individuals and families struggle daily to feed themselves, even areas such as New Brunswick, NJ.  At the same time, restaurants and other organizations are carelessly throwing away edible food items every day.  In order to attempt to solve both of these issues, we propose to create an non-profit organization that would bring these excess edible foods as donations to shelters and other places that help to feed the hungry.  To determine the level of interest in restaurants in the area willing to donate, we surveyed area restaurants about their willingness to supply their leftover edible food and their waste disposal costs.  With this information we developed a business plan to create a way to transport the food items to places that can provide the food to homeless and hungry people.

description: With obesity being an ever-growing problem in the US, it is imperative to look at the younger generations and attempt to better their eating and exercise habits to ensure a healthier future.  An exceptional number of children in the US are overweight or obese, and in an effort to help fight this epidemic, foundational changes must be made, no matter how small they may be.  Our intent is to push for the removal of unhealthy snacks and drinks in school vending machines and have them replaced with smarter, lower calorie options.  This will help revamp the daily dietary routine of students to help jumpstart the movement towards a healthier America.

description: Our response to New Jersey hunger and ecological imbalance
description: The economic recession of 2008-09 has challenged food banks, shelters, and soup kitchens to keep up with increasing needs of those they serve. Challenges include providing high quality nutritional foods to people needing food assistance and protein rich foods are often in greatest need. Venison is a superior low fat protein source that is plentiful in NJ during hunting season.  Hunters’ Helping the Hungry, Inc. (HHH) works to increase quality protein supplies to help the hungry in NJ through venison provided by hunters. HHH raises funds to offset processing costs that USDA certified butchers charge for processing venison. NorWesCap Food Bank—serving six NJ counties—distributes the processed HHH venison to organizations that assist the hungry.  This Ethics in Science class project attempted to secure needed media and University attention to further the mission of HHH.

description: Knowing how to make and read accurate sundials can help our society rid itself of its dependance on some forms of technology
description: In this day and age our society has become completely dependent on technology. Telling time is just one example, from digital clocks requiring electricity to simple hand-watches containing several gears. This service project aims at educating kids from grades 1-12 on how to make a device out of simple materials that can display the time of day. Two lesson plans have been prepared, one aimed at teaching elementary school children and the other for high-school children. These lesson plans would aid teachers in giving a one class-period lecture on how to create an accurate sundial. A simple brochure was also created to help teach the students basic history and facts about the sundial. Reason for the service project: As stated before, our society has become extremely dependent on technology. If the power were to go out in our homes, we would not even be able to tell what time it was. This we be a big problem if we needed to get to work or school and had no other way of telling time without the use of electronic gadgets. Yet, telling the time can be as simple as taking a step outside.

description: Concussions are a serious issue for athletes in high-contact sports. Prevention of concussionshas its limitations but treatment can make a world of difference. New Jersey currently has norules pertaining to how concussions should be handled in high school athletics. In order togain some legislature requiring that athletes who have sustained concussions not be allowedto return to play too early, we have written to our government representatives. We have alsomade a video and fliers to raise awareness on the topic. In doing so, we hope to educateyoung athletes, coaches, and parents about the seriousness of concussions and to gain eitherlaws or rules to be added in the coaches' rulebook that would provide protection frompressures to get back in the game for athletes who have suffered a concussion.

description: The access to (and transmission of) information has become a critical resource of the national interest: From education, to telemedicine, to national security. In its essence, the natural constraints on the information retrieval problem are twofold: (i) available bandwidth, and (ii) the energy consumption (associated with that retrieval). Indeed, the continuously increasing trend in the information demand has already begun to congest the finitely available bandwidth of the information lines. Thus, it is really the bandwidth that is becoming the key resource for the future expansion of our society's access to the information. Closely related to the bandwidth extinction problem is that of the energy consumption. The very essence of data transfer is that it does consume energy, and a recently published alarming fact is that the optical network (i.e. the national backbone) energy consumption is currently approaching as much as 10% of the total national power production. More critical is the projection that the current trends in the energy information transfer consumption and the power production in the US will inexorably meet within the next 20 years. Consequently, the bandwidth and the energy efficient networking represent two critical resources to the State's and nation's further development, as well as their well being. This project shall, through a series of rigorous complex system experiments, reduce to practice a unique solution which successfully addresses both of the key resources for our society's further growth and development. The proper resource allocation for reliable high capacity information transfer must take an altogether novel direction, since reliance on communication pursued in the past fifty years has only a limited life span in the reality of nonlinear fiber optics channel. The proposed research effort seeks to demonstrate capability of up to a 100-fold increase of information throughput over a fixed bandwidth, by relying on a concept of highly bandwidth constrained transport (HBCT). Ultimately, the proposed work seeks to further incorporate the demonstration of the new concept of HBCT into a highly energy efficient optical back-bone transport that achieves two ultimate goals: (i) highly bandwidth efficient information transfer, and (ii) orders of magnitude lower energy efficient optical networking architecture, enabled by the HBCT, whereas its applicability transcends beyond optical communications.

description: Our goal is to integrate a more detailed lesson on abortion into these classes through an addendum to Federal Bill HR 2553 [109th], as well as a proposed lesson plan and sample lesson.
description: Abortion is the induced expulsion of a human fetus that is planned and intended to terminate a pregnancy. Addressing the issue of lack of available information, education, and awareness about abortion is a difficult task to uptake.  This topic has become such a social “unmentionable,” which adds to its underdeveloped truth and the degree of informational unavailability for women and men.  Because the age for the highest rates of abortion is in the middle twenties, educating women in high school, prior to this time, will prevent such a vast range complications.  Providing education and information about every aspect of abortion, as well as the possible alternative options and support services, will increase the well-being of all women faced with unwanted pregnancies.  Through the help of Senator Frank Lautenberg, we aim to use federal bill HR 2553 [109th], which promotes a pro-abstinence, comprehensive sexual education program called the REAL Act. We have devised an addendum to explicitly include education on abortion and other post-pregnancy options, therefore creating fully-rounded sexual education in the United States. We also include a proposed lesson plan and sample lesson on abortion.

description: Spin-transfer-torque (STT) magnetic random access memory (MRAM) is an emerging technology promising a low power, non-volatile embedded memory for a broad range of applications. Unlike conventional RAM chip technologies, in MRAM data is not stored as electric charge or current flows, but by magnetic storage elements. The elements are formed from two ferromagnetic layers separated by a thin insulating layer where if the magnetization of the two layers are parallel give a "0" and anti-parallel give a "1". In traditional MRAM the magnetic information is read by currents and written by external magnetic fields. In STT-MRAM magnetic data is both written and read by an electrical current leading to a dense, low power memory. However, in current STT-MRAM the current STT-MRAM the write current are still too high to integrate with CMOS technologies and research is needed to lower the write currents. The research program will investigate advanced magnetic materials that will enable the commercialization of STT-MRAM. This research will include deposition and characterization of magnetic thin films materials that will make them suitable for STT-MRAM. The goal would be to identify a materials system that will yield a STT-MRAM cell that is thermally stable and can be written by small currents.

description: Going green has become increasingly trendy throughout the nation. From saving plastic bags to replacing plastic water bottles, people have been taking steps to becoming more environmentally aware. The next step is banning polystyrene, better known as Styrofoam, a harmful product still in our society. Banning Styrofoam is easy as replacing canvas bags with plastic ones. Styrofoam is a non-biodegradable substance used for insulation, most commonly found in keeping our beverages hot and storing our leftovers. However, its harmful effects outweigh its cheap and convenient use, drawing significant cause for a ban on polystyrene. In an attempt to make our community greener, we will put forth effort to eliminate use of Styrofoam at Rutgers through communication with the purchasing department and various deans.

description: In this project, we propose to develop a new class of high-performance, fully-printed transistors for use in the realization of flexible displays on plastic at low-cost and over large areas. We have recently demonstrated a novel gravure printer with the ability to realize high-fidelity patterns below 10um. Using this printing technique in conjunction with high-performance organic semiconductors and dielectrics, as well as novel classes of synthetically engineered nanoparticle-based conductors, we propose to demonstrate ultra-low-cost, high-performance transistors fabricated entirely using high-speed printing techniques, with a printing speed of greater than 1 ft per second, thus allowing for the realization of sheets of plastic-based high-performance electronics for new generations of flexible displays on plastic. In this proposal, we will develop the printing technology based on the aforementioned gravure printer, will develop the necessary process modeling using our previously-demonstrated fluid mechanical models, and will use combinations of organic materials and nanomaterials to realize fully-printed transistors with channel lengths of 5um and performance suitable for use in high-performance flexible displays. By exploiting the tremendous speed of our gravure printing technology, we will achieve this at ultra-low cost, thus enabling new generations of flexible, bendable, and disposable electronic systems for use in ubiquitous consumer electronics applications. The industrial sponsor for this work will be Sharp Labs of America. SLA, and its parent company, Sharp Corporation, is a leading producer of displays and consumer electronics. Sharp will work closely with UC Berkeley researchers to develop the technology through a program involving intensive cross-fertilization, visits between both parties, and joined research and development activities, with the goal of realizing a commercially-viable technology for large-area printed electronics fabrication.

description: The study of human-animal interactions and relationships is an extremely interesting topic.  For a long time these relationships have been greatly prized among people such that they have accepted the animals as a part of their lives. In the United States, certain groups of people have accepted them as a family members and, as such, they play an important role in their daily routine (Holley, Lynn C.; Risley-Curtiss, Christina; Wolf, Shepard). These pets offer them unconditional love, support when they are alone, personal safety and security, and a way to fight certain medical conditions such as depression (Alan M. Beck' and N. Marshall Meyers). People with varied ethnic backgrounds, such as Indians, African Americans, Hispanics, and those of Spanish origin, have different relationships with companion animals (Holley, Lynn C.; Risley-Curtiss, Christina; Wolf, Shepard). It is very interesting to study these differences in relationships. In order to find these differences, we have developed a short survey that will help us identify why certain groups prefer to keep companion animals whereas others choose against it. In addition to this, we will be able to differentiate those who keep pets in accordance to their likes and dislikes.

subject: Global change biology

description: The world is witnessing a phenomenal shrinkage in global biodiversity, driven by a combination of human activities and environmental degradation. Habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, overexploitation of resources, and invasive species have all contributed to an unprecedented loss of species across the planet. Forests are being cleared for agriculture, oceans are being overfished, and pollution is poisoning ecosystems, leaving countless species struggling to survive. As ecosystems collapse, the intricate web of life that supports everything from food systems to climate regulation is also threatened. Current extinction rates are alarmingly high, with species disappearing at a pace not seen in millions of years. This loss not only impacts wildlife but also threatens human wellbeing, as biodiversity underpins essential services like clean water, food production, and disease regulation. If not addressed urgently, this rapid decline in biodiversity will have far-reaching consequences for both the natural world and future generations.

description: Recent advances in neuroscience and engineering have the potential to make a difference in the lives of millions of Americans who are paralyzed, or who have suffered a devastating stroke or the loss of a limb. Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMI) is a young multidisciplinary field that has grown tremendously during the last decade. BMI has enormous potential as therapeutic technology that will improve the quality of life for the physically impaired. It is about transforming thought into action, or conversely, sensation into perception. For BMI to make the step from laboratory experiments on animals to true deployment in humans requires a dramatic improvement in the interface and sensing circuitry. Neural sensing nodes should be of the size of a few mm3, communicate with the outside world through wireless communications, and be completely self-contained from an energy perspective. The latter means that the power has to be provided from the outside using magnetic or electro-magnetic waveforms. The small size of the node means that a most a couple of microwatt can be scavenged, putting extreme requirements on the data acquisition and communication circuitry. In the first year of research we have built the essential components to make ultra low-power BMI interfaces a real possibility. In this follow-up proposal, we focus on integration and reliability. Implants in humans should last for at least ten years. This requires reduced size to reduce scarring, and redundancy to compensate for lost signals. This research combines innovations in wireless communications with advanced energy scavenging, ULP mixed signal and breakthrough sensing and data acquisition technologies.

Weight, final lengthening and stress: a phonetic and phonological case study of Norwegian
Creators: name: Lunden, S. L. Anya

Year: 2006

description: Many languages, including Norwegian, exhibit CVC weight asymmetry:  CVC is usually heavy but behaves as light word-finally. It is proposed that this asymmetry is motivated by facts of phonetic length and human perception. A theory of weight is advanced in which a syllable shape in a given position is only heavy if it, on average, is sufficiently proportionally longer than an unstressed (necessarily light) CV in the same position. A syllable will need to be extra-long word-finally in order to be categorized as heavy because a final CV is notably longer than a non-final CV due to final lengthening. Analyzing weight as requiring a minimum proportional increase reflects human perception of differences: the same raw increase has less of a perceptual effect when added to a relatively long stimulus. Using the results of a production study it is shown that heavy syllables in Norwegian are at least 60% greater than unstressed CV syllables in the same position, putting the weight criterion at a 60% proportional increase. It is shown that a final CVC falls short of this proportional increase threshold with only an average increase of 27% over a same-position CV. The stress system of Norwegian is analyzed in detail, taking the categorization of syllable weight to be pre-determined by the weight criterion.  Evidence for the stress pattern of the language is drawn from the lexicon and the results of a novel word experiment administered to native Norwegian speakers. The regular stress patterns in the language are shown to include not only the predominant stress pattern of the language but also several minor patterns, predictable exceptions to the basic pattern. This identification of basic and minor patterns in conjunction with the weight criterion based on the proportional increase threshold allows for a more motivated and complete analysis of Norwegian stress than has previously been proposed. The proportional increase theory of weight provides a phonetically and perceptually motivated explanation for the CVC weight asymmetry thus replacing final consonant extrametricality, the traditional descriptive mechanism. Other forms of extrametricality are proposed to be reinterpretable if the perceptual consequences of final lengthening are considered. While the analysis of weight is consistent with the basic tenets of moraic theory, a departure is made from standard moraic theory which takes moras to be prosodic units associated directly to segments. The theory of weight proposed treats moras as a property of syllables as a whole.
Theoretical Issues in Nuu-chah-nulth Phonology and Morphology

description: This dissertation covers a broad range of the phonological and morphological phenomena found in Nuu-chah-nulth, a Wakashan language of British Columbia. Chapter 2 discusses the internal structure of Nuu-chah-nulth words and morphological properties that are related to phonological phenomena. Nuu-chah-nulth words consist of a root followed by suffixes, which must be classified into lexical and grammatical categories. It is important to understand the mechanism of combining morphemes and the characteristics of morphemes in order to find out how and/or to what extent morphology is involved in phonological alternations. Chapter 3 treats the properties of intra- and inter-segmental phonology and their consequences for linguistic theory. In particular, sections 3.1 and 3.2 look at how free combination of features drives surface alternations, especially consonant alternation. How to encode patterns, where instances of the same surface segments exhibit different behaviour depending on the morpheme in which they are found, has been a controversial issue. The approach of this thesis to this problem involves a solution consistent with a core idea of Optimality Theory, "Richness of the Base". Chapter 4 provides additional characteristics of Nuu-chah-nulth prosody such as syllable structure, prosodic units, vowel hiatus and consonant clusters. Prosodic structures in Nuu-chah-nulth pose many interesting typological issues. I discuss basic properties of prosodic structures and their relationship with some phonological processes. Finally, chapter 5 investigates morphological processes such as reduplication and allomorphy. Nuu-chah-nulth has multiple patterns of reduplicant and base, which is not common cross-linguistically. The treatment of 9 patterns of reduplication is conducted in terms of both prosodic and metrical templates. This chapter focuses on how and to what extent phonology can be involved in the formation of words. In sum, this thesis defines how the interaction between phonology and morphology can be interpreted within Optimality Theory.

Oblique Subjects and Stylistic Fronting in the History of Scandinavian and English: The Role of IP-Spec
Creators: name: Hrafnbjargarson, Gunnar Hrafn
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2004

description: The thesis discusses three morphosyntactic changes in Danish, Faroese, Norwegian, Swedish and English, namely the loss of morphological case, loss of V-to-I movement and the loss of stylistic fronting. The changes are observed on the basis of Icelandic which has kept all three characteristics.The hypothesis is that even though the loss of morphological case causes the loss of DAT-NOM constructions (i.e. sentences with a dative subject and a nominative object), these constructions are not 'normalized' (made into NOM-ACC) in one step, but rather through a systematic process which consists of two different changes. Old English had and Icelandic still has sentences with a dative subject and nominative object, in Old and Middle Danish, Middle English and Faroese, these constructions have changed to sentences with a dative subject and an accusative object and in Present Day English, Danish, etc. they have gone one step further and changed to sentences with a nominative subject and an accusative object. The synchronic part of the discussion about the DAT-NOM construction attempts to explain how the finite verb can show agreement with the nominative object, why non-nominative subjects must be animate and furthermore, why nominative objects can only be third person. The other construction that is discussed is stylistic fronting. Firstly it is shown that stylistic fronting was possible in Old and Middle Danish, and that the loss of stylistic fronting first took place after the loss of V-to-I movement. The synchronic analysis of stylistic fronting is that stylistic fronting is driven by an abstract focus feature and that it is movement into an articulated CP domain. This makes it possible to explain why stylistic fronting can have a semantic effect and why there is a difference in the possibility of stylistic fronting in clauses without a phonetically realized subject and clauses with a weak subject pronoun. If it is further assumed that the articulated CP domain depends on the presence of V-to-I movement, it is possible to establish a connection between the loss of stylistic fronting and the loss of V-to-I movement. The two theoretical frameworks used in the thesis are Optimality Theory and the Minimalist Program.
