Capstone Seminar There is a discrepancy in the literature whether porous carbon electrodes store more electrochemical capacitance with a disordered or an ordered pore design. However, these materials have not been made comparably, so their capacitances cannot be fairly compared. We hypothesize that if we control the physical and electrochemical properties of disordered and ordered porous carbon electrodes, then the electrodes should have comparable amounts of capacitance regardless of pure geometry. To

Thorniley presses and type. She estimates the donation of the collection — which rivals some she’s seen in museums in Europe — has at least quadrupled PLU’s letterpress resources. “We should be a magnet for more,” Robinson said. “The more you have, the more you draw.” In the meantime, PLU students in PPA and graphic design classes have already started using the collection for printing projects. Robinson says she’s excited that students who are interested in the history of the book can see and work with

LEED BuildingsThe goal: for each building to obtain a LEED Rating of Gold. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), is an internationally recognized certification system designed to determine whether or not buildings are considered green or sustainable. Put forth by the U.S. Green Building Council, LEED uses strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics including energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and
