Abstract:
P Diddy’s Bad Boy for Life video provides a strategic point of departure in the quest for values and community, sui generis, in SportsWorld. This study poses an interruption to the “ideological” articulations of discourse on the relationship between hip-hop music and sports by providing an examination of empirical and scientific data inside of SportsWorld. There is a carefully crafted narrative about the coexistence among Black American athletes, SportsWorld, and hip-hop music. From the beginning of Black athletes’ entry into the White spaces of the so-called level playing field of sports—from National Association of Stock Car Racing to the National Hockey Association to Major League Baseball to National Basketball Association—this integration upsets the norms of both civility and history; because for many in White America, the belief persists that these same athletes were not then and should not be today in those sacred spaces. From Jackie Robinson to the Williams Sisters to Jack Johnson to Tiger Woods to Althea Gibson to Fritz Pollard and, of course, Muhammad Ali—all of these pioneers suffered the indignities of racial discrimination. As Smith argues in his 2014 book Race, Sport and the American Dream, fast forward, deep inside the second aught of the 21st century, it is often assumed that the addition of hip-hop music to the pregame and half-time entertainment at ballparks, basketball arenas, stadiums, and ice hockey arenas signals a welcoming to the Black Athlete and their fans. Using a Marxian lens, this study argues that both these assumptions are no more than the ideology of beliefs that Marx describes as “fantasies and illusions” or more straightforward a “phantasmagoria.” These fantasies and illusions show up as a laterna magica projecting images on society and in SportsWorld, where these can be described as commodity fetishism. Through the authors' empirical analysis of data on segregation and integration in SportsWorld, they demonstrate that things are not always as they seem.

Abstract:
Abstract A large-scale, extravagant cultural production that is replete with striking visual imagery and dramatic action and that is watched by a mass audience. The spectacle is especially characteristic of modem societies, socialist and capitalist, but is also found in traditional societies significantly affected by modem influences. It is arguable that spectacle has surpassed religious RITUAL as the principal symbolic context in which contemporary societies enact and communicate their guiding beliefs, values, concerns, and selfunder standings. The repertoire of spectacles is vast, but the most familiar examples come from the field of sports. The greatest of all spectacles is probably the Olympic Games, which attract tens of thousands of participants, live audiences of two to three million persons, and media audiences estimated to number a third of the world’s total population. World Cup soccer matches also draw huge live and television audiences, as do, in the United States, championship and other “classic” games in professional baseball and football, college football, and various other sports ranging from golf through horse and stock car racing. When the magazine Sports Illustrated was started in 1954, it included a photographic section called “Spectacle,” which in its prospec tus stated, “Sport . . . is magic to the eye. It lingers in the life-long treasury of vision.”

Abstract:
Abstract Interest in genetic approaches to biomedical research problems has been high for almost 100 years, since Archibald Garrod used Gregor Mendel’s rediscovered theory of inheritance to explain human “inborn errors of metabolism” in 1908. From the point of view of clinical research ethics, sadly, many chapters of this history are viewed today as examples of how biomedical science can be exploited by social prejudices to the detriment of marginalized people. Borrowing from the successes of both stock breeding and the germ theory of disease, early human geneticists moved quickly from biased pedigree studies and racist anthropologies to draconian prescriptions for preventing hereditary disease and improving the public’s health. In the United States, policy makers translated these eugenic conclusions into selective immigration restrictions and involuntary sterilization programs; Germany under fascism took them further, to coercive selective breeding programs and genocide.2–8 By mid-century, the Nuremberg trials had transformed eugenics into an epithet and launched our contemporary concern with clinical research ethics on the lessons of the medical experiments undertaken in its name (see Chapters 2 and 12).

Abstract:
The film Cloud Atlas is one of the cult works of science fiction cinema. It was created to set a shared narrative of time and space in six different stories. The theme of the film, directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski siblings, is the wicked history of humanity, which does not distinguish between time and space. Throughout the film, the phenomena of time and space are employed as frequently used narrative tools. The phenomena of time and space also have an important place in both the theoretical and practical fields of architecture. Therefore, based on these two phenomena, the movie Cloud Atlas is a work that should be consulted as it has the potential to enrich our singular perception of time and space to which we are prone. Throughout the film, the places serve as the litmus of the times the stories belong to. It gives the history of the role of space in the history of humanity and shows how our relationship with space and the meanings we attribute to it are transformed. Thus, the multidimensional relationship that space has established over time is skillfully conveyed to the architects stuck in today's space through cinematography. In this context, considering the social, cultural, and economic life when the six stories in the film took place, their effects on the phenomenon of space are discussed. The spatial descriptions of these six different stories that the directors wanted to create will be examined one by one. As a result, these multidimensional effects of time have once again emphasized the importance of not thinking about time independently of space. The fact that the organization of space, from the most primitive life forms to the life forms where technology reaches its peaks, is also a reflection of the social structure of the period reveals the multidimensional relationship of space. Themes such as racism, war, consumption fetishism, and technophobic visioning of the future in the stories also overlap with the spatial setups. According to the story, the place can take on the symbol of power, the instrument of domination, and virtual setups that we have not yet experienced. Thus, the potential of cinema to dissolve the past and the future in its own temporality and transfer it to the audience already expands the limits of imagination to a broader temporality for architects who are trapped in the hegemony of the unconditional present.<br>

Abstract:
Abstract Historically, the Ford Mustang is America’s favorite “Pony Car”. A Pony Car by definition means an economical sports car. However, this economical sports car is required to compete against automobiles like the Corvette and Viper in many racing circuits. In order to better compete; Mustangs must be modified, often heavily, from their showroom stock condition. Modifications to the Mustang’s braking system are limited to what is available in the Mustang aftermarket. As such, the aftermarket has yet to address two common weaknesses in the Mustang’s braking system. They are: a lack of a front disk cooling device, and rear brakes that utilize disks larger than 11.65 inches in diameter. This paper discusses the design, fabrication, and testing of prototype parts to eliminate these two weaknesses in the Mustang’s braking system.

Abstract:
The NASCAR Truck Aerodynamic Improvement team is tasked with providing aerodynamic analysis and improvement to Ford Performance and their factory supported team Brad Keselowski Racing for their Ford F-150 race trucks. A Ford F-150 race truck is a “stock” truck that has some modifications for racing speed and safety. Ford Performance, reached out to an MSOE student and asked if a Senior Design team and project could be assembled to provide them with some aerodynamic analysis and improvements that would not require them to build and test using a trial-and-error type method resulting in expensive, and real, testing. The purpose of this project was to conduct a computational fluid dynamic analysis on the truck and make design changes to the truck that will provide more down force on the front two tires. The areas of the truck that were studied included the side panels, deck lid, rear quarter panels, and frontal geometry. There were also constraints put in place by the NASCAR rulebook on the vehicle specifications. These rules limit the design changes that were made to the truck. The model was originally sent as a laser scanned STL file. This file needed to be heavily edited in order to be imported into the CFD program. The programs used to edit this file include Geomagic, Autodesk Fusion 360, and SolidWorks. Through using these programs, the laser scan file was modified to a usable format. Upon conclusion of the CFD simulations using ANSYS Fluent, it was found that the truck with no geometry changes displayed a drag coefficient of 0.489 and a lift coefficient of −0.815. These results were found after 10,000 iterations of testing. The standard deviation in the drag and lift coefficients were 0.00743 and 0.01660 respectively. All statistical calculations along with the averaged solutions were calculated using the data after the 2,500th iteration. This is because the nature of the CFD solutions tend to fluctuate greatly at first and then slowly converge with more iterations. After the 2,500th iteration, a relatively steady state in the solutions is met where the residuals are converging to a single value or the fluctuation in the solutions is repetitive. The following design changes were made in attempt to increase the down force on the truck. A rib was added to the side panel in order to increase the downforce on the truck. The side panel was also modified with a cut. The contour on the rear deck lid was smoothed in order to decrease drag on the truck. Slots were cut out of the shell of the truck behind the rear wheels on both sides of the truck. These slots were angled in an attempt to create down force on the rear wheels. The front splitter was lowered closer to the ground in attempt to increase air velocity moving under the truck. This higher velocity air would create a lower pressure region under the car which would increase down force. All of these modifications were applied to the initial truck body and tested using the same setup as the baseline. The most successful design change was the rear deck lid modification which resulted in a drag coefficient of 0.472 and a lift coefficient of −0.816. This is a 3.48% decrease in the drag coefficient and a 0.12% decrease in the lift coefficient (or 0.12% increase in downforce). The results of this project were purely simulation based; any real modifications and field testing made will be performed by Brad Keselowski Racing and Ford Performance.

Zhang, Zhipeng, Kang Zhou, and Xiang Liu. "Broken Rail Prediction With Machine Learning-Based Approach." In 2020 Joint Rail Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/jrc2020-8102.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Broken rails are the most frequent cause of freight train derailments in the United States. According to the U.S. Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) railroad accident database, there are over 900 Class I railroad freight-train derailments caused by broken rails between 2000 and 2017. In 2017 alone, broken rail-caused freight train derailments cause $15.8 million track and rolling stock damage costs to Class I railroads. The prevention of broken rails is crucial for reducing the risk due to broken rail-caused derailments. Although there is fast-growing big data in the railroad industry, quite limited prior research has taken advantage of these data to disclose the relationship between real-world factors and broken rail occurrence. This article aims to predict the occurrence of broken rails via machine learning approach that simultaneously accounts for track files, traffic information, maintenance history, and prior defect information. In the prediction of broken rails, a machine learning-based algorithm called extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) is developed with various types of variables, including track characteristics (e.g. rail profile information, rail laid information), traffic-related information (e.g. gross tonnage recorded by time, number of passing cars), maintenance records (e.g. rail grinding and track ballast cleaning), and historical rail defect records. Area Under the Curve (AUC) is used as the evaluation metric to identify the prediction accuracy of developed machine learning model. The preliminary result shows that the AUC for one year of the XGBoost-based prediction model is 0.83, which is higher than two comparative models, logistic regression and random forests. Furthermore, the feature importance discloses that segment length, traffic tonnage, number of car passes, rail age, and the number of detected defects in the past six months have relatively greater importance for the prediction of broken rails. The prediction model and outcomes, along with future research in the relationship between broken rails and broken rail-caused derailment, can benefit railroad practical maintenance planning and capital planning.

Ludwig, Ryan. "Rewriting the Dream: Beyond Sustainable Sub-urban Living and the Potentials of the Productive Landscape." In 109th ACSA Annual Meeting Paper Proceedings. ACSA Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.35483/acsa.am.109.75.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper argues for a beyond sustainable approach to sub-urban living, rejecting the postwar Levitt style single-family home of the American Dream, to instead consider alternative futures founded on new ideas of community. It questions how architecture may engender lasting opportuni¬ties for resilient and eco-egalitarian approaches to sub-urban life, while simultaneously meeting the fundamental needs of its inhabitants. This beyond sustainable rewriting of the Dream suggests a less individualized, more collaborative, more inclusive notion of sub-urban living, questioning many typical arrangements of inside/outside, front/back, public/ private, production/consumption, individual/collective, etc., as seen in American sub-urban tract housing. It will utilize the concept of the productive landscape conceived as a cata-lyst for reconstituting the production of food, water, energy, recreation and social interactions. This approach is illustrated through the work of several third-year undergraduate design studios taught in recent years at the University of Cincinnati, School of Architecture which maintained similar beyond sustainable ambitions. The location for these tests has been Greenhills, OH, one of three “Greenbelt Towns” built as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal Resettlement Administration. While Greenhills was envisioned largely as a response to the question of urban and rural poverty, today, the expanded role of the car, neoliberal global commerce and the increased expectations of comfort and convenience of sub-urban life, alongside its aging, out¬dated and undersized existing housing stock, have resulted in its decline as a desirable sub-urban living destination. However, its original small-scale walkable planning, many tree lined gently curving streets and cul-de-sacs, central park green, and still intact greenbelt provide substantive com¬munity assets from which to consider a beyond sustainable model of sub-urban living, especially in a world undergoing radical change due to anthropogenic global warming, cli¬mate destabilization and ecological degradation for which the postwar Levitt style suburb has contributed greatly. In this way its specific history and current shortcomings make Greenhills a timely locale for testing alternative approaches to sub-urban living and indirectly the city.
