Aaron Coyner, Senior Capstone Seminar The use of solid polymers in lithium ion batteries has the potential to provide a safer, more reliable alternative to liquid electrolytes.
- Welcome1:10 pm - The Synthesis of a Solid Polymer Electrolyte Aaron Coyner, Senior Capstone Seminar The use of solid polymers in lithium ion batteries has the potential to provide a safer, more reliable alternative to liquid electrolytes. The synthesis of a solid polymer electrolyte based off of an oxanorbornene maleimide repeat unit with an oligomeric ethylene oxide unit will be presented. Our research group has already experimented with ethylene oxide unit lengths of n=2, 3, and 4. This research

masterpiece. According to Mooring Mast reporter Judy Carlson, it blends Gregorian chant, folk music, nonverbal choir sounds, and modified serialism in an eclectic style. The stage in Eastvold Auditorium was filled to overflowing with performers, and the total effect of the music was extraordinary. In February 1979 the choir sang in New York City’s Lincoln Center to excellent reviews: “There are many superior college choir groups around the country, but not many of them would probably care to tackle the

. Eric E. Finney, Ph.D., and Elizabeth A. Kaley Department of Chemistry Forensic Analysis of Biodiesel Charles and Ann Laubach Student Research Fund The analysis of four different biodiesel blends, as well as homemade biodiesel prepared from vegetable oil, has been performed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The identification of methyl esters within the biodiesel along with any background components is made possible by recognizing their mass spectral fragmentation patterns. These fuels

It’s 11 a.m. in Harlem. Justin Huertas ’09 and Kiki deLohr ’10 are feeling loose, relaxed — even a bit silly — as they sip coffee outside Sugar Hill Café. In a few short hours they will make their off-Broadway debuts in a musical written…
5. Its first production outside of the Emerald City was at San Diego’s Diversionary Theatre, one of the oldest LGBTQIA+ theaters in the United States. Huertas, deLohr, and Williams reprised their roles, and “Lizard Boy” was a hit in Southern California. "The 95-minute musical blends comic books, Godzilla mythology, ‘Spring Awakening,’ cello music and a surprisingly sweet love story in an innovative, funny and wildly entertaining way… Huertas has a sweet, nerdy vulnerability and hopefulness

Sukhbir Randhawa, Senior Capstone Seminar Many different factors cause DNA damage in cells. UV radiation is one of the major factors; if a cell's DNA repair system does not keep repairing the
optical measurements and TEM. PV device design and fabrication were explored for novel bilayer and bulk heterojunction (BHJ) designs containing FeS2. Photoinduced absorption spectroscopy was conducted to screen for charge-transfer in BHJ blends and bi-layer films. We successfully synthesized FeS2 nanocrystals, while photoinduced absorption spectroscopy showed no charge-transfer in the BHJ films. Complete bi-layer PV devices were tested using copper (I) sulfide and zinc oxide nanocrystals, but showed

program that blends all the international elements with domestic U.S. programs to get students engaged with people from immigrant groups or other cultures that might be different from their own Take for another example faculty-student collaborative research and creative projects: at the moment, we don’t have a good clear picture of how many of our students are engaged such collaboration. At best, I would say, we are able to offer such an opportunity to almost any student who expresses interest, but
