 <\/p>\n

Ms. Sandy Cole<\/b> (Center for Community Career Education CCCE) requested $201,448 from the Tennessee Higher Education Commission to continue and re-focus the successful Each One Reach One (EORO) program.\u00a0\u00a0 In addition to offering various avenues of support and resources, the CCCE will focus on clinical experiences to prepare pre-service teachers for the realities of education, recruit candidates for HCDE critical needs areas, and provide early intervention and preparation for the PRAXIS exam.<\/p>\n

Center for Community Career Education<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ms. Cynthia Wallace Long<\/b> (Educational Opportunity Center) requested $40,000 from the Tennessee College Access & Success Network to continue and expand the center\u2019s outreach efforts to adults interested in attending college. \u00a0Funds will allow Outreach Specialists to make weekly trips to surrounding rural counties to conduct career counseling with potential students.<\/p>\n

Educational Opportunity Center<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Drs. Mbakisya Onyango<\/b>, Benjamin Byard<\/b>, and Joseph Owino<\/b> (Civil Engineering), in collaboration with Tennessee State University, requested $246,003 from the Tennessee Department of Transportation to evaluate the performance of pavement markings in Tennessee.\u00a0\u00a0 The study will determine how long markings remain reflective and evaluate the correlation, if any, between pavement marking deterioration and crashes.<\/p>\n

Civil Engineering<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dr. Nicky Ozbek<\/b> (Psychology) submitted a preliminary proposal to the Dana Foundation to study the relationship between curcumin (a chemical compound in the spice turmeric) and b-amyloid plaques found in the retinas of people with Alzheimer\u2019s disease.\u00a0 In mice studies, curcumin has been found to block the formation of plaques and break apart plaques that have already formed.<\/p>\n

Psychology<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Drs. Mina Sartipi<\/b>, Joseph Kizza<\/b> (Computer Science and Engineering), The SimCenter Research Team<\/b> and Michael Ward<\/b>(Center for Information Security Awareness) requested $397,729 from the National Science Foundation to upgrade UTC\u2019s cyber infrastructure.\u00a0 An increase in Gigabits will enable greater collaboration between researchers and faster transfer of large amounts of data between research facilities.<\/p>\n

Computer Science and Engineering<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The SimCenter Research Team<\/b> submitted two proposals to the Office of Naval Research.\u00a0 One proposal requested $296,727 to research three methods of simulating the approach to landing on an aircraft carrier.\u00a0 Pilots face a treacherous environment when landing due to the complex flow of air over the ship\u2019s superstructure and deck.\u00a0\u00a0 A second proposal requested $296,319 to develop an improved model of simultaneous physics processes relevant to ship and aircraft design.\u00a0 Potentially, the model could improve flight simulators used for pilot training and aid in design of aircraft and guidance systems.<\/p>\n

SimCenter<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dr. Steve Symes<\/b> (Chemistry) requested $304,940 as part of a proposal submitted to NASA by the University of New Mexico.\u00a0 The project will focus on understanding the early solar system. Team members involved will study timescales of events in the creation of the solar system and provide insights on the formation and evolution of terrestrial planets.<\/p>\n
