    , variable stars are affected by various different phenomena, and hence it requires different equations to model these varying trends in the light curves. Creating light curves and applying mathematical models was most easily done using the coding program Python, which was greatly reliable with many data manipulation and modeling libraries and packages. Variable star light curve data was acquired from the ASAS-SN atlas database and was subsequently applied with theoretical mathematical formulae

  • The Parkland Literacy Center (PLC), created in 2018 by English Writing Professor Scott Rogers and Hispanic Studies Professor Bridget Yaden, is located on the western edge of PLU’s campus. The PLC, as it’s called, offers after-school tutoring in all academic subjects to Keithley Middle School…

    staff to draw on the interdisciplinarity emphasized throughout their PLU education. Tutors sometimes work in their areas of expertise, but they also regularly step outside their comfort zone to help with subjects that might not be quite so familiar to them.  On any given day, PLC staff may be balancing out formulas or helping students write essays. For example, Nick, an English Writing and Hispanic Studies major who aspires to be a poet, helps students understand algebraic equations, too. The beauty

  • Sometimes you’re drawn to a career path, and other times you discover it by serendipity, as Lauren Loftis, Archivist & Special Collections Librarian at Pacific Lutheran University, did. “I carelessly stumbled into it. In fact, the first time I entered an archive was when I…

    . On any given day, I’ll see students writing equations on our whiteboards, relaxing in the lobby between classes or working with one of my colleagues to conduct research for a project — and all that’s not even counting the way that people engage with our online resources. I never know what brings someone to the library, but the library is a space for community, and as such also serves to reflect the interests of our community. I think there’s power in that. Are there particular PLU archives that

    result from the folds. The marketplace, however, is devoid of 2D folding games whose solutions are comprised of the points and lines that result from single folds. It turns out there is a lot that can be done with the results of single folds. These possibilities are described by the Axioms of Origami. The purpose of this capstone project is to derive the equations necessary to create an Origami folding game based on the first 6 Axioms of Origami. 5:00-5:25pm – An Exploration of the Gaussian Integers

  • Maria Altmann worked for decades to reclaim five family owned portraits painted by Gustav Klimt for her family, including this portrait of her aunt,  Adele Bloch-Bauer. The painting had been shown in an Austrian art museum for years. Nazis had stolen the painting after Altmann…

    . Hitler’s anti-Semitism may be traced back to this rejection, since most of the jurors at the time in the school were Jewish. Most of the paintings he did manage to sell were bought by Jewish patrons. According to the Rape of Europa clips, Austrian art museums do have some of Hitler’s original works on hand, but they are considered too controversial and rarely, if ever displayed.

    teammate, Elizabeth Herzfeldt-Kamprath ’12, was also changed by our research and experiences. “Through talking with experts and people who have experienced compassion fatigue, I learned that there is strength in recognizing when you need to take a break,” Herzfeldt-Kamprath said. “To work through your weakest time may prove to be harmful rather than helpful.” Read Previous Visiting Writer’s Series – Eric Goodman Read Next Mathlete coaches teach students on cracking equations for success COMMENTS*Note

  • By Michael Halvorson, Benson Family Chair in Business and Economic History The following excerpts were gathered from an April 24, 2018 conversation between Michael Halvorson, PLU student Teresa Hackler, and Economics professor Karen Travis. Hackler and Travis completed a Benson Summer Research project together in…

Or how this research fits into your teaching at PLU?” Travis: “My research has generally focused the economics of health care access. I’ve published on how physician payment and insurance structures have led to differential access for patients. One of these papers focused on prenatal care and another on inpatient psychiatric care

    simultaneously examine the expression levels of tens of thousands of mRNA transcripts in a single experiment. I am currently using the microarray analysis service provided by the Genome Consortium for Active Teaching (GCAT) to investigate the differential gene expression profile induced by estrogen in cultured astrocytes. It is hoped that results obtained from this study will provide a number of estrogen-responsive genes to further explore in the coming years with real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR
