Profiles of Faculty Scholarship Profiles of Faculty Scholarship HIGHLIGHTS OF RESEARCH, PUBLICATIONS AND CREATIVE ACTIVITY September, 2015 – September, 2016 FOREWORD We are pleased to present the annual edition of this publication to honor the creative, community and scholarly work of Fitchburg State University faculty and librarians. This booklet offers an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the intellectual and creative achievements of our faculty and librarians. These activities both spring from and feed our central teaching mission. Reflected in these pages is the dedicated work of a community of scholars. Augmenting Reality Jon Amakawa has merged his interest in history with his game design skills to bring the past to life. “I’m interested in history and bringing real world approaches to the game program,” said Amakawa, who joined the Fitchburg State faculty in 2013 as part of the first wave of the university’s game design major. That interdisciplinary fusion is manifested in the “augmented reality” mobile app he created for the National Park Service. The “Jenkins Lot AR Tour” For these faculty highligh pages, use the following was created for visitors to the Lincoln Home National Jonathan Amakawa paragraph styles: Historic Site in Springfield, Ill., where Abraham ASSISTANT PROFESSOR Lincoln lived before taking office as the nation’s COMMUNICATIONS MEDIA *faculty name 1 16th president. *FACULTY DEPARTMENT 1 Jameson Jenkins, James Blanks and their families were neighbors of Lincoln’s, and early activists *text faculty bio 1 in the fight for civil rights.

He at the Museum of Russian Icons presented his work at the National Park Service’s in Clinton, which features historic images of holy 2016 National Underground Railroad Conference in persons and events. In conjunction with Assistant Hilton Head, S.C. Professor Joseph Wachtel’s history students, Amakawa is continuing his work with the Amakawa’s students designed augmented reality park service this year on other augmented reality applications that will reveal additional context and projects that fuse game technology with historical appreciation for the artifacts on display. Students are interpretation. The experience has informed his own currently working with the museum to deploy one of teaching at Fitchburg State. the apps for public use. “We’re using the same technology, and it’s To download the Jenkins Lot AR app, visit Apple’s getting game design students to think about how App Store or Google Play for Android. that technology can be used outside of games,” he said. “There’s only a finite amount of game studios out there, but there are a lot more opportunities for them to apply their skills.” Dr. Ricky Sethi ASSISTANT PROFESSOR COMPUTER SCIENCE Dr. Catherine Buell ASSISTANT PROFESSOR With support from a National Endowment for the MATHEMATICS Humanities Digital Start-up Grant, Buell and Sethi are working with teams of undergraduate and graduate students on the development of a tool called Making WAIVS WAIVS (workflows for analysis of images and visual A cross-disciplinary effort to build a user-friendly tool stylometry).

It is of great significance to predict the results accurately based on the statistics of sports competition for participants research, commercial cooperation, advertising, and gambling profit. Aiming at the phenomenon that the PageRank page sorting algorithm is prone to subject deviation, the category similarity between pages is introduced into the PageRank algorithm. In the PR value calculation formula of the PageRank algorithm, the factor W(u, v) between pages is added to replace the original Nu (the number of links to page u). In this way, the content category between pages is considered, and the shortcoming of theme deviation will be improved. *e time feedback factor in the PageRank-time algorithm is used for reference, and the time feedback factor is added to the first improved PR value calculation formula. Based on statistics from 1230 games during the NBA 2018-2019 regular season, this paper ranks the team strength with improved PageRank algorithm and compares the results with the ranking of regular- season points and the result of playoffs.

  • Episodic Breakdown
    History Retold 3 x 60’ EPISODIC BREAKDOWN 1. Fire At Sea The sea. Thousands upon thousands of miles of empty water. The world’s oceans are as beautiful as they are deadly. If a ship encounters trouble far from land, there is little those onboard can do— except hope for rescue. Though sinking may seem to be the worst that can happen to a ship at sea, it’s actually fire that creates the most horrific pain and suffering. A fire aboard ship is indiscriminate in its attack, taking the lives of everyone from immigrants seeking a new life to cruise ship elite looking for a good time on the waves. Throughout time there are thousands of stories of horrific fires at sea. The images that tell their tales are remarkable, haunting, and rarely seen. Now, with restored film footage and high definition photo technology, we can look deep inside these seagoing stories of heroism and tragedy to fully understand what happens aboard ship when there is a fire at sea. Because not only does a fire at sea mean a ship is going down, but passengers and crew have two choices: be burned alive or jump into an unforgiving ocean. 2. Early Air Disasters In the first part of the 20th century, a seeming miracle took place. Humans learned how to fly. But the quest to reach for the skies came with tremendous danger. Events and circumstances that in an instant could turn deadly. Every time a new barrier was pushed, the limits of gravity pushed back harder, making every advancement in the world of aviation one that was paid for in blood.
