Tucked away under the Health Center lies a glass door. A glass door that doesn’t lead to another o-chem lab or history class, but to a group of students who devote their time to the health and wellbeing of the rest of the 20,000 students who attend Cal Poly SLO. These students comprise a group called PULSE. PULSE: Peers Understanding Listening Supporting Educating. Each word describes exactly how PULSE serves the college. From daily consultations to campus-wide events, PULSE makes its presence known on

Introduction The California State Polytechnic University of Pomona student chapter of the California Geotechnical Engineering Association would like to thank you for your sponsorship consideration. Sponsorships allow for Cal Poly Pomona students to have an enriched learning experience and incorporate a deeper connection with our “learn by doing” philosophy. The sponsorship donations to CalGeo will allow for our members a greater opportunity of educational and professional development. Sponsorships

Properties and Synthesis of poly[p-2,5-dihydroxy-phenylenebenzobisoxazole] MANOJNA EDARA 306868401 GANNON UNIVERSITY Introduction: In recent years, poly( p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole) (PBO) fibers have become prominent in high vigor applications such as body armor,ropes and cables, and recreational equipment. The objectives of this study were to expose woven PBO body armor panels to elevated temperature and moisture, and to analyze the chemical, morphological and mechanical

Introduction When you think of roly-polys you probally think of a tiny little bug that curls up in a ball. But then when you think of sea cucumbers you might think of a a big worm like creature. But did you ever think that they could have anything in common? Well they do! And it might be even more than you think. roly-poly defences Roly-polys or the common pill bug are common bugs. Sometimes you might even find one in your backyard! roly-polys are very riny bugs that roll

Discuss the role of poly-glutamine (poly-Q) in Huntington’s disease (HD) Introduction: The gene IT15 (Interesting Transcript 15) (Zheng et al, 2010) codes for the protein Huntingtin (htt) which contains exon1 (XN1). XN1 is the nucleotide sequence that is within Htt protein. Polyglutamine (poly-Q) is a short protein fragment of more than two amino acids called a peptide that is within XN1. It is the consequences of the expansion in poly-Q that causes Huntington’s Disease (HD). HD is the condition

a local journalist gathered the townspeople to lobby for a state school in their town. They got the governor to sign legislation to establish California Polytechnic School. The first classes were on October 1, 1903. During the Progressive Era Cal Poly started out as a vocational high school. The school became the country’s leading undergraduate university in the West. In 1914 Robert Weir Ryder was given the role as director. Students of the university assembled a student body association and the

Thermodynamics Paper: Thermodynamics of mixing of poly(vinyl chloride) and poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) Introduction The mixing of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) is investigated for its thermodynamic properties such as enthalpy of mixing and glass transition temperature. Both the two pure polymers and the mixtures are investigated in terms of specific heat as well. The mixing of PVC and EVA are investigated because of the possible use of EVA as a plasticizer

February 10, 2010: I was in a strange new environment with diverse people all around me. In my beginning years of intermediate school, I was shy and refrained from any interaction. Adapting to a new culture and language seemed challenging at a young age. I would remain silent in class and sit in a corner during recess. I knew I had to put in more effort to socialize with my peers; however, my flawed English prevented me from doing so. As a result, I struggled to make friends and spent many nights

Pillbug “Roly-Poly” Behavior LaB  Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to observe the behavior of the Armadillium vulgare (roly- poly bug), as well as hypothesize whether it will be attracted to, repelled by, or unresponsive to certain substances. Methods 1. Observing the pillbug: examine the pillbug’s shell and body, shell shape, color, texture, number of legs, number of antennae, motion, speed, and sex after close examination. 2. Formulate hypotheses: choose

I think it is time to replace the Poly-Com System. It has not been updated in years. Most of the Poly-Coms in the jail no longer work. Out of the 6 Poly-Coms on each floor of the jail, only 2 still function. Replacing the system would increase workplace efficiency and Replacing the System would allow all of our office to work more efficiently. Right now, most attorneys in the office have to physically go to the jail. After they pay to park and are screened to enter, we still have to wait almost
