Illinois Tech Undergraduate Research Journal http://urj.library.iit.edu/index.php/urj <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The IIT Undergraduate Research Journal is a student led&nbsp; peer reviewed scientific journal published by undergraduates for undergraduates—and the IIT academic community at large. The Journal highlights and promotes a wide range of undergraduate student research throughout campus, from law to mechanical engineering to biochemistry to psychology. It will also provide a forum of interdisciplinary discussion on topics involving the latest advancements, the most controversial debates, and the most intriguing questions in different fields based on short, original, and insightful articles about science that will be catered to a wide audience. Submissions to the journal are reviewed by our distinguished student led advisory board, with final edits approved by the esteemed Dr. Oscar Juarez.&nbsp;</span></p> en-US urjiit@iit.edu (Aminah) alook@iit.edu (Allison Look) Fri, 03 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 OJS 3.1.2.4 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 60 Diversity and Excellence in IIT's Student Population http://urj.library.iit.edu/index.php/urj/article/view/53 <p>Information about IIT's student population</p> Esha Raut Copyright (c) 2023 Illinois Tech Undergraduate Research Journal http://urj.library.iit.edu/index.php/urj/article/view/53 Fri, 03 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Image Processing Integration into Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry to Remotely Sense Freshwater Surface http://urj.library.iit.edu/index.php/urj/article/view/54 <p>Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) is a technique that detects signals reflected off the surface and analyzes the reflected signals to obtain surface characteristics. This technique was used to differentiate between surface ice and water condition of Lake Michigan in Chicago. To confirm GNSS-R results validity, a separate reference is needed to compare with. A sensor fusion of camera and a lidar was used to reconstruct the lake surface. This reconstructed surface was as a reference to compare with GNSS-R results. Since the current camera frames rate being used to reconstruct the lake surface using the sensor fusion of camera and lidar is two frames per minute, this research explores the effect of increasing the camera frames rate on the reconstructed surface.</p> Lan Tran, Seebany Datta-Barua, Roohollah Parvizi Copyright (c) 2023 Illinois Tech Undergraduate Research Journal http://urj.library.iit.edu/index.php/urj/article/view/54 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 16:52:20 +0000 Social Media vs. User Age http://urj.library.iit.edu/index.php/urj/article/view/55 <p>Social Media vs. User Age</p> Ayesha Mahmood Copyright (c) 2023 Illinois Tech Undergraduate Research Journal http://urj.library.iit.edu/index.php/urj/article/view/55 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 16:58:17 +0000 Religious Stereotypes in TV Shows http://urj.library.iit.edu/index.php/urj/article/view/56 <p>Religious Stereotypes in TV Shows</p> Ayesha Akram Copyright (c) 2023 Illinois Tech Undergraduate Research Journal http://urj.library.iit.edu/index.php/urj/article/view/56 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 17:08:32 +0000 The "Art" of Medicine - Communication in Primary Care http://urj.library.iit.edu/index.php/urj/article/view/57 <p>The "Art" of Medicine - Communication in Primary Care</p> Adeelah Shamshuddin Copyright (c) 2023 Illinois Tech Undergraduate Research Journal http://urj.library.iit.edu/index.php/urj/article/view/57 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 17:13:27 +0000
