2024 Physics Capstone SymposiumSenior Physics capstone presentations will take place Monday, May 6th starting at 2pm in Rieke 103B.  2:10pm Julian Kop – “Using Python to Mathematically Model Variable Star Light Curves.” Constructing light curve plots of stellar brightness can describe various stellar properties and the systems these stars reside. Variable star light curves possess unique trends and modeling these light curves can denote long-term behavior and changes to variability. However

Downtown Tacoma’s Theatre on the Square. Young’s illuminating query was one of 14 “ideas worth spreading” presented in the form of four- to seven-minute talks at the fourth annual installation of TEDx Tacoma on March 21. PLU faculty members Maria Chavez, Bradd Busick and Young each responded to the event’s theme of “Did You Know…?” by posing questions addressing trends, systems and mores prevalent, but often unaddressed, in higher education. Echoing many of the themes of her book, Prophets, Gurus and

O’Brien, Associate Professor of Religion and Culture, PLU This presentation explores the origins and developments of the Jewish Healing Movement. Shaped by interreligious conversation and dialog, this grassroots effort within mainstream Jewish communities has led to the creation of systems of support and rituals of renewal for individuals, communities, and the suffering Earth. 2:00 p.m. – The Songs We Share Dr. Samuel Torvend, University Chair in Lutheran Studies at PLU, serves as host of this session

shot. As for implementation, the game has includes simpler versions of industry-level algorithms, such as Shadow Mapping, Collision Detection, and Particle Systems. For example, while in modern games you might see characters made up of billions of little triangles, these are comprised of only a few hundred. This choice, and others like it were made due to restrictions on scope and time. While the code is supported by the OpenGL API and JOGL library, one of the design goals was to create as much of

because they can be made to include the structural features of various urea-based drugs and are readily attached to drug-polymer conjugate systems as Diels-Alder adducts. Here, a method of converting mono-, di-, and tri-substituted ureas to their corresponding hydroxyguanidines through a thionated intermediate is described. Thionation of each urea was carried out using 2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,2,4-dithiadiphosphetane-2,4-disulfide (Lawesson’s reagent) under microwave conditions. Several methods

Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are very stable and unreactive compounds with the ability to bioaccumulate in organisms. This is alarming because we are projected to increase the amount of PFCs manufactured by quite a significant amount. The production and accumulation of PFCs in water systems across the globe has already been linked to numerous adverse health effects. Advanced Reduction Processes (ARPs) that enlist the help of hydrated electrons show promise for breaking down a variety of PFCs, including the most
