<Tagline>Sirius: An Animated Short</Tagline>

This is a self-portrait about how I love stargazing and find myself doing it while walking my dog. I also created this piece as a way of showing how the feeling of fascination or admiration can make one forget about the world around them. The audio is original with sound effects coming from the actual sources in real life. The music in the film, Mariage d’Amour, was covered by Tracy Yang; this piano piece added an air of beauty to the transition scene. The rest of the musical elements were created using Ableton Live 10. Rotoscoping and hand-drawn animation techniques were utilized and done entirely with Adobe Photoshop. I shot video reference of myself and my dog as part of the process, which allowed me to capture both of our movements and personality realistically. It was important to make sure the two techniques of hand-drawn animation and rotoscoping combined seamlessly and that the transition to imagination can be understood. The result is an engaging animation that portrays this experience in a way that cannot be done in real life.</span></div><div><br></div><div><div>Mentor: Corrie Parks, Visual Arts, UMBC</div><div><br></div><div><span>Come see Angela's film and other undergraduate research and creative work, April 22-29th at URCAD.umbc.edu!</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><p>Presenters and Guests:</p><div><ul><li><a href="http://umbc.edu/go/urcadonline" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">umbc.edu/go/urcadonline</a> (to create/submit a VT to urcadonline)</li><li><a href="http://umbc.edu/go/urcadonline-faq" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">umbc.edu/go/urcadonline-faq</a> (for information on how to create/view/comment in VT)</li></ul></div></div></div></div>

<Title>URCAD Sneak Peek: High Definition Real Time Zoetrope</Title>

The system was developed as part of the 2019-2020 Computer Engineering Capstone course. The HDRTZ was created in collaboration with UMBC professor and artist Eric Dyer, who created the artwork and helped design the system. The HDRTZ samples a camera feed and rotate the image via software running on the NVIDIA TX2. The image rotation is controlled by an external crank that outputs a voltage proportional to its input. The software then uses rotational algorithms to rotate the image appropriately based on the voltage produced by the crank. Simultaneously, an audio track is sampled at a rate proportional to the crank input to add further interactivity to the art. The system was configured and initialized through an external web application responsible for the centering and masking of the displayed image.  The HDRTZ is intended to be installed in a public setting, so the system was designed to be simple enough that an unfamiliar user can quickly figure out how to interact with it.</span></div><div><br></div><div>Mentors: Eric Dyer, Visual Arts, UMBC; Charles LaBerge, CSEE, UMBC</div><div><br></div><div><span>Come see the HD zoetrope and other undergraduate research and creative work, April 22-29th at URCAD.umbc.edu!</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><p>Presenters and Guests:</p><div><ul><li><a href="http://umbc.edu/go/urcadonline" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">umbc.edu/go/urcadonline</a> (to create/submit a VT to urcadonline)</li><li><a href="http://umbc.edu/go/urcadonline-faq" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">umbc.edu/go/urcadonline-faq</a> (for information on how to create/view/comment in VT)</li></ul></div></div></div>

<Title>URCAD Sneak Peek: Anthony Cano</Title>
<Tagline>Resettlement of Internally Displaced People in Cartagena</Tagline>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Tony is a URA Scholar, and a member of Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society. His project, "<span>Informal Resettlement of Internally Displaced People (IDP) in Cartagena, Colombia, and Urban Development"</span> spans the political science, global studies, and media and communication studies disciplines. You can see it at URCAD Online, starting April 22nd!<div><br></div><div>Abstract:</div><div><span>Internally displaced people (IDP) are migrants who were involuntarily displaced from their habitual residence to other parts of their home country as a result of armed conflicts, human-made or natural disasters, or human rights violations. It is estimated that about 41.3 million people in the world today are internally displaced. This study investigates the resettlement of IDPs and urban development with a focus on the case of the Nelson Mandela neighborhood in Cartagena, Colombia. The study is based on visual materials, oral histories, and observation notes (collected during fieldwork in summer 2019) and on news stories about the neighborhood. The author conducted a thematic analysis of the data, including a triangulation of findings from different data sources. The results indicate that the informality of IDP resettlements and their scattered nature slows down urban development in the periphery of cities. As a result, the local government and civil society in Cartagena have not been able to accommodate the resettlements adequately because of the lack of data on IDPs and their informality. It is crucial to study this phenomenon further to assist internal migrant host city governments with data that can be integrated into their urban development plans.</span></div><div><br></div><div>Mentor: Felipe Filomeno, Political Science</div><div><br></div><div><span>Come see Tony's film and other undergraduate research and creative work, April 22-29th at URCAD.umbc.edu!</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Want to be like Tony?  Apply for a URA award and get up to $1500 for your research or creative work:</span></div><div><span>ur.umbc.edu/ura</span></div></div>

Previous literature on these orioles suggested they mostly nested in developed areas in Coconut Palms (<em>Cocos nucifera</em>). With new knowledge that the Bahama Oriole also nests in pine forests (<em>Pinus caribaea</em>), we hope to make more accurate population estimates. Determining the territory size of the Bahama Oriole is crucial to making reliable population estimates.</p><p>Using radio transmitters placed on three different orioles, we triangulated the positions of tagged birds. These positions were used to generate territory maps for the three radio tagged orioles. To assess the validity of our equipment, and ensure the transmitter was still on sampled birds, we also periodically set out to sight the tagged orioles. The resulting home range maps show that the Bahama Oriole has a larger territory size than was previously assumed.  These findings will be crucial in our ongoing efforts to estimate the total number of Bahama Orioles surviving.</p></div><div><br></div><div>Mentors: Kevin Omland, Biological Sciences, Colin Studds/Matthew Fagan, Geography &amp; Environmental Systems, UMBC</div><div><br></div><div>Photo: Dr. Omland with the 2019 research group</div><div><br></div><div><span>Come see  the Omland Lab presentation and other undergraduate research and creative work, April 22-29th at URCAD.umbc.edu!</span></div></div>

While we are disappointed that you won't be able to "touch this" kinetic sculpture, you will be able to see how the interdisciplinary team of researchers redesigned it to create a functional piece of art.

These design efforts were part of an interdisciplinary course, INDS 430 Kinetic Sculpture Project, which drew upon methods from sustainable design, project management, and biomimicry to build a new 20 foot shark sculpture named “MC Hammerhead.” </span></p><p><em>This work was funded, in part, by the Alex Brown Center for Entrepreneurship URA Award.  </em><span>For information on how to apply for an Undergraduate Research Award (URA) and get up to $1500 to support your research or creative work, go to: ur.umbc.edu/ura</span></p><br></div></div>
