Logitudinal Studies

A logitudinal study is one in which the participants of the study, or the subjects, are tracked for a long period of time, usually years. Instances in which a logitudinal design can be most helpful include studying the effects of child abuse, as was the case in one article we read in class at the beginning of the fall term. Logitudinal studies have the obvious benefit in being most helpful in gaging behaviors and mindsets as they develop over time, but that same benefit can pose a double edged sword. Logitudinal studies take a long time to conduct, and scientists may not have the luxury of time or money for such an endeavor at their disposal.

Alizeh Imtiaz

Born on 10th November 1986, in Karachi, Pakistan, Alizeh Imtiaz is the first Pakistani to have successfully had her debut short film 'Shades of Black' screened at the London Filmmakers Convention 2007. Her short film also won the award for Best Film at the London Filmmakers Convention which screened 80 films from all around the world. Her short film will once again be screened at the London Portobello Film Festival in August 2008. She is one of the youngest directors in Pakistan, and one of the very few to have gained international acclaim. She is currently studying English and Film and Television in Brunel University, London.

Her short film was an experimental piece which focused on the journey of a prisoner released from Karachi Central Jail. Her style is very dependant on detail to music and photography. Her debut short film 'Shades of Black' gained much attention after Alizeh appeared on one of Pakistans most famous comedy talk show called 'Mani and Azfar show'. The short film was produced by Media Tech Films Pvt Ltd, for AAG TV Channel.

Her previous experience in direction include a high profile celebrity based TV show called 'FLASH' for HUM TV channel in Pakistan which she directed before returning to complete her degree. Before her venture into Direction, Alizeh Imtiaz had also been active in several theatre productions in Karachi - from acting to direction. Alizeh has attended several workshops to aid her acting talent, from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, London. In addition, Alizeh has been trained in acting by Rahat Kazmi, a famous Pakistani actor, director, teacher and theatric.

Skunkwheat

Skunkwheat is an experimental wheat containing chemicals that are designed to reduced the odor of a Skunk's spray, when consumed orally. The new crossbreed of wheat was developed at the University of Washington, by Professor Alan Ettenberg, and is still in the developmental stages.

The Idea

In the early weeks of March, 2006, Ettenberg and his family were camping in Goldbar, Washington. Ettenbergs son was sprayed by a skunk, and anallergic reaction set in. His son was rushed to a local hospital to treat a minor cardiac arrest suffered from the reaction, and Ettenberg, upon returning to work at the university, began extensive research on the common skunk. While he failed to find a way of eliminating the spray, he did find a way, in theory, to reduce the odor.

The Breakthrough

Ettenberg realized that the prime chemicals in a skunks spray, namely acetate thioesters could be greatly reduced when certain breeds of skunk consumed the skunkwheat mixture that he feed them.

The basic breakdown of the skunks spray, from a chemical stand point is as follows:

Ettenberg began three different breeds of skunk on the skunkwheat diet, monitoring each on to see if their was a difference in odor, or amount of spray with each discharge. Results, while announced positive by the University, have been "varied" according to the official studies published later that year.

On Going Funding

In January of 2008 the University of Washington will be conducting more experiments throughout the year.

Nourish International

Nourish International’s mission is to eradicate global poverty by engaging students and empowering communities. To accomplish this, Nourish students run ventures such as [Hold'em for Hunger] where they learn leadership and business skills. The profit they earn from these ventures is used to fund sustainable development projects in impoverished communities throughout the world.

History

Nourish International was founded in 2003 as the UNC student group “Hunger Lunch.” Since then, Nourish has evolved into a national non profit with chapters at Duke University, N.C. State University, Ohio State University, the University of Michigan, St. Louis University, the University of Minnesota, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Last summer, Nourish students partnered with communities in Tanzania, Guatemala and Uganda .

Honors

1st place in the 2007 Carolina Challenge Business Plan Competition, social track for a plan submitted in partnership with the [Full Belly Project].

Gyrokinetic ElectroMagnetic

GEM is short for Gyrokinetic Electromagnetic. GEM is a gyrokinetic turbulence simulation that uses $\delta f$ particle-in-cell method. It is used to study waves, instabilities and nonlinear behavior of tokamak fusion plasmas. Information about GEM can be found at the GEM web page. There are two versions of GEM, one is a flux-tube version and the other one is a global general geometry version. Both versions of GEM employ a field-line-following geometry. Ions are treated kinetically, but averaged over their gyro-obits and electrons are treated as drift-kinetic.

The modeling of the plasmas

The magnetically confined plasma is treated statistically. The distribution function depends on both the three-dimensional position and the two-dimensional velocity. The time evolution of the distribution function is described by a gyro-kinetic equation which is Vlasov Equation averaging over the fast gyro-motion associated with the magnetic field.

Algorithm to solve the equations

A split-weight scheme is applied on electrons to overcome the limit of small time step, which is caused by the fast motion of electrons.

Applications

The code has been used to simulate the nonlinear physics involved in the microturbulence like ion temperature gradient driven mode, electron temperature gradient driven mode and trapped electron mode.
