  • Erin Madden, Senior 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.

    Coating of Magnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for use in BiomedicineKrista Sparks, Senior Capstone Seminar Two studies investigating the preparation of iron oxide nanoparticles for optimum performance in biomedical applications are reviewed. Surface modification of iron oxide nanoparticles in ferrofluids was studied for use as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Physical characterization of the ferrofluids was performed using dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron

  • This Event Planning Guide is here to guide PLU students, faculty and staff who coordinate events. It includes the key components of event planning for large and small scale events, including

    , justice and sustainability (DJS)? Is the event I want to do in furthering alignment with PLU’s mission statement? What specifically do you want your event to achieve? Choosing a Date, Time, & LocationOur hope is to provide our campus community with options for engagement while minimizing competing events.  Consulting with campus calendar resources to ensure thoughtful planning that can help maximize event attendance and ensure the venue of your choice is available. Helpful resources for choosing date

  • In 2022 — when polarities abound and institutions and individuals alike have been called to reflect, redefine and transform — what does it mean to call the work of equity “innovative”? As a concept, innovation can be used interchangeably with words like ingenuity, progress, newness,…

    carrying with it all of the other crap that is in that person’s head. And so even things that are new have to reckon with the foundation on which we stand in order to not be exclusive or racist or capitalist or ableist or whatever. Angie: Wait. The sensors don’t recognize darker skin? Jen: Yeah. There’s a whole thing on it. You didn’t know that? Angie: No, girl, because I don’t have those faucets in my house! I have non-racist faucets! Maya: Oh my God… (laughing)Part of the PLU’s My Language, My Choice

  • Tuesday, May 19th, 2020 Welcome! We, Rose McKenney and Adela Ramos, are excited to share with you the work of the 2020 class of Environmental Studies students.

    me with great feedback. My capstone wouldn’t be possible without them. I’d also like to thank each catering student that helped make this project possible, as well as student life staff members.An Application of Christian Ethics to PLU Catering Food Waste.In this paper, I explain how PLU’s catering department functions and why it creates food waste. Using mathematical modeling, I estimate how much food waste catering generates in a given year, and how many people we could feed with that waste, as

  • Aaron Coyner, Senior Capstone Seminar The use of solid polymers in lithium ion batteries has the potential to provide a safer, more reliable alternative to liquid electrolytes.

    between the ogg1∆ and WT strains reveal that the ogg1∆ strain experiences a higher rate of mutations per cell in stationary phase (6.96E-07) compared to the WT strain (1.51E-07). 2:30 pm - Functionalized Benzofulvenes: Synthesis from Substituted Indanones and Possible Medicinal Applications Valerie Lesniak, Capstone Senior Seminar Functionalized benzofulvenes have potential applications for cancer treatment. Based on predictions from computational modeling, these molecules may have high binding

  • Below, you will find a selection of activities and assignments that address some aspect of the research process.

    paragraph/summary/abstract.Creating a poster or infographicType of activity: Group project; Individual project; Capstone project Goal: Creating and developing a research poster. Brief overview: Ask students to conduct research on a topic of their choice, or on a provided prompt. Ask students to present their findings as a research poster or an infographic. A more concise version of this activity can be used to ask students to provide a summary of an article, a book chapter, or a book.Examining a

    June 1, 2012 In their own words Compiled and edited by Chris Albert This spring, new PLU graduates closed a chapter in their lives and prepared to turn the next page. In the following, some Lutes shared their stories of why they came to PLU, what their experiences have been and what will be the next chapter in their lives. Some will immediately enter the vocation of their choice, others continue their academic pursuits. They all have found a passion for a vocation and are ready to engage the

  • Washington D.C. (March. 9, 2017)- The small group of Pacific Lutheran University students, standing huddled together in a jam-packed section toward the front of the National Mall, remained silent. Some shook their heads in disbelief. Others wore expressions of shock. Two couldn’t stop tears from…

    wearing a T-shirt that read in large, block letters “Love trumps hate.” “My philosophy on being there was all about subtlety,” said Sullivan, a politics and government major and member of the PLU debate team. “I was there to watch the inauguration. I was wearing my shirt, which wasn’t a huge statement, but it meant something to me. “Having someone say something like that about you makes you question what you’re doing and why you’re there. It definitely started to make me think about making a choice

  • Rodion A. Zhuravlev, Senior Capstone Seminar Solid polymer electrolytes are a safer alternative to the current electrolytes found in lithium-ion batteries.

    contributor in tumor progression. Thus, the inhibition of TrxR is suggested to have many applications in cancer therapy and has become an important clinical goal. Computational modeling has shown that compounds with a benzofulvene core have high nanomolecular binding affinity to TrxR and would make ideal competitive inhibitors. The goal of this research was to synthesize an N-methylpiperazino benzofulvene derivative, which is theorized to have the highest nanomolcular binding affinity to TrxR. As a result

  • The Spanish word, Duende (du-end-ay), has come to refer to the mysterious power that art has to deeply move a person. Soon-to-be graduates in the Department of Art and Design chose this word to rally around for their senior exhibition in the University Gallery, opening…

    slight grin to a unique angle. I have always admired those who have captured that in their art, be it painters like Chuck Close and Frida Kahlo, or photographer Dorothea Lange. My work tends to be realis- tic, and I prefer to paint or draw with detail to represent the clarity of who a person is through the clarity of the image. Apparent texture or stylistic choice applied to my work, such as short painterly brushstrokes, is intended to represent something about the personality or mental status of the
