DEDICATION FOR 3 GRAVITATIONAL-WAVE ANTENNAS Posted by: alemanem / February 3, 2021 February 3, 2021 DEDICATION FOR 3 GRAVITATIONAL-WAVE ANTENNAS Feb 3rd, 8:30-10:00am (PST) This international event will be held online on when a prestigious IEEE Milestone in Electrical Engineering and Computing will be dedicated for the massive Gravitational-Wave Antennas in Hanford, WA, Louisiana and Italy. They collectively confirmed Albert Einstein’s 1916 General Theory of Relativity which predicted the

, and War: A General Theory and 900 Years of Empirics from Ancient Rome,” which asks and helps answer the question,  “How do political institutions shape the incentives to go to war?”‘ Among the most convoluted of the social sciences, PLU Professor of Economics Norris Peterson explains, Economics is founded in inquiry, research and critical thinking. “Economics develops skills in taking very complex problems and breaking them down to understand them better and ultimately to help solve them,” he says

brief stop at PLU from 2000-02, when he was a visiting Assistant Professor of Political Science. A political science researcher first and teacher second, Milton says his research and teaching of bureaucracy and institutional change forced him to look at schools and education from that standpoint. Working in a middle school in 2006, Milton first became interested in the effects of government regulations on school systems, the basis of his new book. Milton’s book, The Normal Accident Theory of

framework to real-world challenges, developing innovative solutions that are not only effective but ethically sound. Through collaborative projects, you’ll craft groundbreaking policy proposals that redefine safety in Tacoma. Engage in design thinking processes that challenge conventional approaches, all while grounded in the ethical considerations that phronesis demands. Professor Jasinski will guide you through the intersection of rhetorical theory, innovation, and practical wisdom. You’ll wrestle

. Studying mathematics and statistics at PLU is not just about theory. It’s about applying these disciplines to real-world problems in science, engineering, economics, or finance. Whether you’re preparing for a career in education or planning to pursue further studies in a graduate program, our courses will challenge, inspire, and inform you about the beauty and power of mathematics and statistics, as well as their practical applications.

is used to prevent corrosion, deposit nanoscale interconnects in computer chips, and to interface electronics with neural circuits. Electrochemical technology is an area of rapidly growing importance and commercial activity, but almost no graduates have the requisite skills. To address this need, we started the first and only MS program in the US dedicated to electrochemistry. The core program consists of 6-months of accelerated, immersive coursework (including foundational theory, team-based

plus. The program offers participants a research stipend of $5,000, a housing and meal allowance of $4,000 , and up to $500 travel support for out-of-state students.

inflation, leading them to question their earlier assumptions. “It didn’t seem to matter how you started the universe; it always ended up inflating,” Underwood said. “When you’re trying to describe the very early universe, you have to make many assumptions to go anywhere. Isolating which assumptions are important and which are not is part of the game.” One assumption they left out was Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity: While they agreed the theory was true, Underwood said, their assumption was

Other labs work on integrating these new materials into devices at both the nano- and macro-scale.
