The Honors Program invites the campus community to attend the Honors Program Project Presentation on Tuesday, November 29 at 2:00pm in Koch Center 102.

The honors project represents the culmination of the honors experience and provides an opportunity for students to explore an area about which they are passionate. The honors project may consist of a research project, thesis, or creative work.

This semester, we have one Honors Program student who will be graduating and presenting her Honors project. Alexa Markl will present on the topic, “Role of Endothelin-B Receptors on Kidney Sensory Nerves”.

We hope you will join us to hear the fantastic work that Alexa has completed for her Honors project.

AceCare is the umbrella term for our three pro-bono student run programs, Ace+PT, ACErcise, and AceBuddies. Through these programs we can reach the uninsured, underinsured, homeless, and vulnerable members of our community to provide them with physical therapy care or health and wellness services that these individuals require but cannot afford. On November 30th, there will be a MOD giveback and 20% of all proceeds will go to Ace Care! I have attached the flyer for more information and please make sure you show the cashier the flyer to ensure we receive the maximum amount of proceeds!

Thank you,

Bike Race 2023 is right around the corner! The Intramural Department and Fitness Center is excited to present the annual Bike Race again this year to the students, faculty, and staff of the University of Evansville.
The Bike Race will take place in late April, but training for the race starts right after Christmas Break!
If you're interested in learning more about Bike Race or how you can be involved with the event, there will be an informational meeting on Thursday, December 1st at 6:00pm inside the lobby of the Fitness Center. The meeting will be brief but will answer many of your questions about what bike race is, how to properly check out and ride a "bike race bike" and many other details pertaining to the event. If you have any questions feel free to ask Drew @ah519 or stop by the fitness center with your questions.

Residence Hall Students - do you need a place to stay this winter? The residence life office has limited winter housing available. Only students participating in official University functions or with approved reasons will be considered for winter housing.

Kevin Jordan, associate professor of psychology, has published an article in the Elsevier journal International Journal of Psychophysiology, an interdisciplinary journal that aims to integrate the neurosciences and behavioral sciences. Entitled "Adaptation to social-evaluative threat: Effects of repeated acceptance and status stressors on cardiovascular reactivity," the article presents experimental findings on the effects of multiple exposures to evaluative threats on blood pressure and heart rate reactivity.

Congratulations to Dr. Pallav Bera, Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering from the School of Engineering and Computer Science on the publication of his research work titled “Detection of High Impedance Faults in Microgrids using Machine Learning”, published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). This work was presented at the 2022 IEEE Green Energy and Smart System Systems (IGESSC) conference.

Dr. Bera used Machine Learning (ML) based models for the protection of the distribution line connecting a wind farm in a microgrid. Internal faults are distinguished from external faults with CT saturation. The internal faults include the high impedance faults (HIFs) which have very low currents and test the dependability of the conventional relays. The results show that ML-based models can effectively distinguish faults and other transients and help maintain the security and dependability of the microgrid operation.

P. K. Bera, V. Kumar, S. R. Pani and V. Bargate, "Detection of High Impedance Faults in Microgrids using Machine Learning," 2022 IEEE Green Energy and Smart System Systems (IGESSC), 2022, pp. 1-5, doi: 10.1109/IGESSC55810.2022.9955330.

Dr. David J. Unger, Professor Emeritus of Mechanical and Civil Engineering, has published the article: "The Modified Generalized Tresca Yield Condition with Application to Mode I Perfectly Plastic Crack Problems," in the journal ZAMP (Journal for Applied Mathematics and Physics), Z. Angew. Math. Phys. 74:1 (2023), pp 1-11. The author is pleased that his contribution has been chosen by this journal as its lead article for 2023.
