Carson J. Bergstrom, Senior Capstone Seminar A molecular library consisting of triazoles and benzotriazoles, functionalized with amides and nitriles in various substitutions was synthesized.
weight gain. Links between cancer and aspartame consumption require additional research. Aspartame was found to have a preventative effect on dental cavity formation. Negative neurological effects were also reported in literature. Sucralose use was found to cause weight gain, and type 2 diabetes risk was found to increase with its use. Cancer risk as a result of sucralose consumption requires additional research. Sucralose is an emerging environmental contaminant that could have largely negative

claimed tens of thousands of lives. “In war there are some pretty tense times, but there’s a lot of time that isn’t,” Heavey said. “So it gives you time for reflection.” In that time of reflection, Heavey asked himself what modern Norway would have to say to the Norwegians of Tacoma he was then tasked with leading, as well as what Norway would say to the world in the face of immense violence. “The conclusion you come to is that Norway is the superpower for peace,” he said. “When peace is breaking out

When picking a Common Reading book, we consider how the book addresses PLU's commitments to diversity, justice, sustainability, and global education.
lives. The Book of Unknown Americans, Christina HenríquezStudent Comment: I read this for a literature class on the U.S Mexico border that I took in my first year. While it does discuss borders, both literal and figurative, it also discusses maturing and aging, exploration of love and sexuality, and a Latino immigrant’s journey of finding place within the United States. It covers a wide range of topics and is still a good length to read over a summer. I loved this book and it has a lot to offer for

In their own words By Chris Albert Soon new PLU graduates will go out into the world. In the following, some Lutes share their stories of why they came to PLU, what their experiences have been and what’s the next chapter in their lives. More…
PLU gave me. This connection nurtured me and allowed me to find my passion. I eventually changed what I wanted to do with my life and I can thank everyone at PLU for helping me realize what I wanted to do. What’s next? Next year I am going to be attending the University of British Columbia where I will be pursuing my Ph.D. in molecular biology. The particular lab that I will be in focuses on how a cell can get what it needs from the environment and get rid of waste. When this process goes wrong

Ann E. Buchholz, Senior Capstone Seminar The Nipah virus belongs to the family henipaviridae, a class of deadly zoonotic agents, isolated mainly from fruit bats in Asia and Indonesia.
of these devices is the semiconducting active channel layer. This semiconductor is mostly commonly a conjugated polymer material. However, recent literature reports ways to significantly improve the performance of conjugated polymer materials as semiconductors in the aqueous OECT environment. In this account, we discuss the merits which qualify an OECT as high-performing and what materials have been shown to be most promising in this application. Additionally, we detail synthetic modification

in English literature Why PLU? After taking a tour, I was convinced. PLU felt like home. I was excited about the Wild Hope Project, International Honors, and the small class size. I sat in on a class and the professor knew everyone’s name and the class itself was a space where people could come together as valued intellectuals on a common search for more knowledge. There was no feel of hierarchy, just a shared passion for learning. That’s exactly what I wanted out of my collegiate experience

batteries store more energy per mass (specific energy) and per volume (energy density) than Li-ion batteries, but cannot discharge that energy as quickly as modern electronics need because metal anodes oxidize too slowly. We hypothesize that the specific power of metal-air batteries, as a class, would increase if the electrochemically accessible interfacial areas of metal anodes were greatly increased by supporting the redox-active metal component on nanostructured, porous current collectors. In such a

Literature. Prof. Simpson-Younger comes to us most recently from Luther College, our Iowa ELCA cousin, where she served as a visiting faculty member. She received her PhD from UW-Madison in 2012 and her research focuses on acts of watching vulnerable bodies in the early modern period. A reader at the Folger Shakespeare Library, Simpson-Younger is also very interested in questions of book history, and she integrates manuscript evidence (including an actual sleeping potion recipe) into many of her
