  • solenoid, calculated to be 3430 V/m and 57.3 A/m, respectively. The E/B ratio of this Low-E coil design is 26.3 V/A, compared to 59.9 V/A of the solenoid. 3:00 pm - BreakSession 2, Chair: Dr. Brian Naasz3:20 pm - Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticle Aggregates for Use as SERS SubstratesCody Morrisey, Senior Capstone Seminar Over 125 syntheses of gold nanoparticles were carried out in an attempt to determine the best synthetic method for potential in vivo NIR-SERS applications. The method implemented involves

  • Andrea Munro Research GroupIn the Munro Lab, we study the synthesis, surface chemistry, stability, and properties of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals. We have studied ligand exchange and we grow nanocrystals in a variety of shape and sizes. Student researchers work in our lab during the academic year and as part of the Natural Sciences Undergraduate Summer Research Program. In a typical summer 2-3 undergraduate students work in the Munro Lab for 10 weeks. They learn to synthesize colloidal

  • The PLU Department of Geosciences prepares students for a lifetime of scientific learning, informed citizenship, and earth stewardship through critical thinking and engagement in the scientific

    the processes that change the earth through time and their products. Improve geologic awareness campus-wide by offering a wide-range of introductory courses on geologic topics. Student Learning Outcomes Identify and articulate appropriate geological questions from the synthesis of observations and measurement of geological materials and processes. Effectively collect and analyze geologic qualitative and quantitative data in field-based and or lab-based settings. Explain the observed or measured

  • development. Scientists will need to work in increasingly complex, interdisciplinary teams that address not only the technical challenges but also the environmental and global impacts of their research. The REU site at USM will develop sustainable approaches to polymer materials development to meet critical societal needs. Participants will be engaged in fundamental research projects that span the complex, interdisciplinary facets of materials sustainability, including polymer synthesis from renewable

  • work involves high intensity light where the energy of individual photons is not a limiting factor. Previous reports demonstrate that metallic nanoparticles are capable of performing oxidative reductions using lower intensity visible light. We are investigating the synthesis of silver nanoparticles for use in our LSC.   We confirmed that a silver nanoprism synthesis is   reproducibly tunable to our LSC emission of 585 nm. Further investigation is required regarding their efficacy as LSC

  • TACOMA, WASH. (April 4, 2016)- For the first time in the event’s five-year history, TEDxTacoma will be hosted at Pacific Lutheran University on April 22. For the event’s host, Adam Utley, the new location signifies a homecoming of sorts, as the the improv performer and…

    improv is what it does for the human brain.  There’s exciting new research about what’s called the Default Mode Network (DMN): it’s the home of creativity, and flow, innovation and breakthrough insight. Improv strengthens the DMN. It activates empathy, self-value, and the synthesis of ideas. Improvisational relationships — where each relationship participant is equal and unique — are healthy, productive, synergistic relationships. And so, businesses thrive when the minds that make them up are improv

  • The Thorniley Collection of Antique Type, a massive donation to PLU’s Publishing and Printing Arts Program, has elevated the university’s letterpress resources.

    ? She had to sift through thousands of pieces in dozens of type cases to find it. A tiny word, “the” — a half-inch square among an expanse of metallic fonts. But, this wasn’t just any “the;” it was the perfect “the.” “I confess getting a wee bit fixated once I get an idea,” Spring said of her printmaking process. Thankfully, her fixation didn’t get too carried away. After moving on with her project using a less-than-perfect alternative, she stumbled upon the piece she longed for. “Of course, it was

  • cells. Characterization of the nanoparticles was performed using FT-IR, XRD, TEM and DLS, and cell targeting was observed using Prussian blue staining and MRI in mice. The modified nanoparticles were found to decrease cytotoxicity and macrophage cell capture and increase colloidal stability and hydrophilic properties in mice suggesting beneficial use in specific tumor targeting. 4:00 pm - Synthesis and Reactivity of 2-ethenyl-2-cyclohexenolEmily Tollefson, Senior Capstone Seminar It is proposed that
