Bus Rapid Transit model. I consider currently applied public transportation systems, and how they relate to the natural and built environment and interact with the public they serve. Applying geoscience and political science disciplines, I develop a spatial analysis of the route, and demographics that the route would serve, and how this provides insights into how transportation systems can be improved to better serve the population, and benefit the environment as a byproduct of increased public

(BSCS), David Stoppenbrink (BSCS), John Woelfel (BSCS) The Kinect Lifter is designed to provide useful adjustments, utilizing the Microsoft Kinect and artificial intelligence algorithms, to improve a lifter’s technique in either the snatch or clean. This software is unique in that it does not require the attachment of any devices to the lifter to track their motion. An analysis will be achieved by automatically cropping and comparing a user’s lift against a set of previously scored lifts. Our top

Q&A With Professor Michael Stasinos and Associate Professor Bradford Andrews By Shunying Wang ’15 PLU Marketing & Communications Student Worker TACOMA, WA (Jan. 16, 2015)—In a groundbreaking merger of art and anthropology, Pacific Lutheran University Art Professor Michael Stasinos has been developing important historical illustrations…
be drawing for an archaeological project, students not only have to do research and preliminary studies; they also have to communicate with someone else at stages of its development to show the progress and get feedback and make changes based upon that feedback. I saw it as a great opportunity for students to experience. Instead of having one student doing something for him, I tried to give students the opportunity to build something over time.

explored by various NMR techniques, in order to understand how the polymer’s dynamics can explain its potential application as a novel electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries. T1 spin lattice relaxation times were found by the inversion-recovery method at various deuterated solvent viscosities (acetone, methylene chloride, and chloroform), and in the presence of lithium salt. Further analysis by NOESY and C13 nmr spectra was also done. The T1s were most affected in the N=2 ethylene oxide sidechain as the
