Getting Started in myCourses
- Location: Claire T. Carney Library
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Contact: CITS Instructional Development
- Description: This face-to-face workshop provides a hands-on introduction to the teaching and learning features of (myCourses) Blackboard Learn. You will learn about the roles an instructor plays in the online environment and identify key attributes for success. From there, you will learn how to set up the Course Menu, your students' access point to tools and content, and how to create Content Areas that contain materials, tools, and resources. You will have the opportunity to add a course structure to your development course, allowing you to learn about Blackboard Learn tools and features as you experience them in the course environment. You will become familiar with some common start-up tasks, such as creating announcements, adding a syllabus, adding calendar entries, and setting up assignments Finally, you will view the course as a student to become familiar with how the course environment appears to your own students. As a student, you will learn how to access and navigate through tools and content.

TIME:
2:00 p.m. 3:30 p.m.
LOCATION:
Textile Building, Room 101E
TOPIC:
A Discrete Event Simulation Study for Passenger Flow at Chicago O'Hare Airport, Terminal 3
ABSTRACT:
This project focuses on the passenger flow of American Airlines at Chicago O'Hare airport, Illinois. According to the Chicago Tribune in 2015, Chicago O'Hare Airport was the fourth busiest airport in the world. This airport handled 76,949,336 passengers in the year 2015, the record of the airport itself. The goal of our research is to identify delays and create scenarios, using queuing theory concepts that will result in improving the efficiency at Chicago O'Hare Airport Terminal 3. In this project, different scenarios are described and evaluated in a discrete event based simulation model in order to eliminate bottlenecks in the system. The analysis will determine the optimal number of passengers that can complete the check-in process during the working hours without causing congestion within the terminal. The recommended simulation model on Rockwell Arena incorporates a modular architecture and interface, thus permitting straightforward and rapid model building. Additionally, it also exhibits modularity with respect to configurations and operational characteristics of a comprehensive array of airport terminals. The major findings of this project is the method we provide to calculate the optimal number of passengers flowing through the terminal, average number of passengers missing their flights and best fit scenarios for the check-in process at the airport terminal.

ORAL COMPREHENSIVE EXAM FOR DOCTORAL CANDIDACY BY: MD Shaad Mahmud
- Location: Science & Engineering Building, Lester W. Cory Conference Room: Room 213A
- Cost: free
- Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department
- Description: Topic: A Novel Approach to Predict and Prevent Bradycardia of Preterm Infants Using Time-Frequency Analysis
Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A
Abstract:
According to the statistics, millions of infants all around the world die because of bradycardia. Critical health conditions like this can be predicted and prevent using medical sensors, actuators, and artificial intelligence. Infants born before 37 weeks are considered premature and it occurs at a rate of 10% worldwide. Only in the USA, more than 1 in 10 pregnancies will end in preterm birth with critical heart conditions (CHD). About 25% of the preterm babies are affected by critical CHDs that about 40000 births per year. The general definition of Apnea is a pause in the regular breathing of baby lasting longer than 15-20 seconds. Normal breathing will vary, but does not stop for any length of time. During sleep apnea, the infant's heart rate will go low and that's defined as Bradycardia.
Wearable biosensors are an essential part of the advancement of analyzing disease, treatments and cures. Moreover, recent advancement in big data and machine learning, it can also be an indicator of early disease detection and prediction. Although wearable technology has contributed heavily to the advancement of healthcare monitoring systems, concerns are there that may affect real-time performance of the healthcare monitoring systems. These concerns include (1) failing to use real-time data in the monitoring systems during testing of applications, (2) remote monitoring, (3) security and privacy of the data collected from patients, (4) requirement of medical professional's recommendations at each step of the development, (5) clinical validation or experts acceptability, and (6) user friendliness for the patients and for healthcare professionals. The integration of wearable technologies with mobile networks can offer new potentials of rapid, reliable, and secure information transfer from patients to the doctors. The proposed method is capable of minimizing all the challenges mentioned above. Physiological data are acquired by wearable devices that combine miniature sensors capable of measuring various physiological parameters in a non-contact manner, minor preprocessing hardware and a communications platform for transmitting the measured data.
In this work, we focus on some specific events in cardiac and cardiorespiratory signal processing in real-time for preterm infants. Experimental results show that there is important information on heart rate variability (HRV) which can be extracted in real-time by the proposed algorithm and used for predicting bradycardia. The system also contains an actuator to stimulate the preemies to breathe, preventing sudden cardiac death. In addition, it can reduce the visiting frequency of a patient, and minor injuries/illness can be operated from a remote location.
NOTE: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend.
All interested parties are invited to attend. Open to the public.
