SUMMARY:OSL: Oxygen Bar
DESCRIPTION:Office of Student of Life is presenting an Oxygen Bar for students the week before finals. \nWhat is an Oxygen Bar? \nImagine walking up to a bar unlike any other you have experienced and sitting down to enjoy something the body thrives on. An oxygen bar is exactly that. It is a bar where people can breathe in oxygen-enriched air for recreational use. In a sit-down session that can last up to 20 minutes\, you can breathe in 4 to 5 times the amount of oxygen than is present in normal air. The result? You feel energized\, refreshed\, and more mentally alert.

SUMMARY:CE Seminar: Rivers in Human-Nature Dialogue: An Earth System Modeling Approach
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Rivers are vitally bridging the interactions between human and nature on the one hand. On the other hand\, rivers are an essential linkage in the regional and global atmosphere-land-ocean cycles of water\, energy and biogeochemistry. However\, there is a lack or under representation of rivers within most of the earth system models (formerly known as climate models) including the extensively used Community Earth System Model (CESM). This talk presents the research activities at PNNL centering on the understanding and representing riverine dynamics of water\, energy and biogeochemistry at the regional and global scales. In particular\, the focus will be on a physically based riverine modeling framework which is now embedded within CESM and coupled to a water management module. The insights distilled from the model results will be discussed\, followed by the limitations and future directions of this modeling endeavor. \nSpeaker: Hong-Yi Li earned his PhD from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, and Master and Bachelor’ degrees both from Tsinghua University\, China. He joined the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in 2010 as a postdoctoral researcher and is now a research scientist. Trained as a watershed hydrologist\, His current research focus is to improve the representation of hydrologic processes in Earth system models from three major aspects: 1) Improving diagnosis of earth system modeling behavior by systematically introducing meaningful signatures revealed from watershed hydrology; 2) Improving parameterization of key hydrologic processes in earth system modeling\, 3) Adding/enhancing the representation of human systems in earth system modeling. As such he still maintains his interest in watershed hydrology\, but mainly from the aspect of bridging watershed hydrology and earth system modeling. Another current research focus is to decipher the behavior and functions of aquatic biogeochemical systems under climate and human-induced changes primarily within the earth system modeling framework. \nSpeaker: Dr. Hong-Yi Li\, PNNL

SUMMARY:IEEE Seminar: The End of Helium-3 As We Know It?
DESCRIPTION:SPEAKER: Dr. Richard T. Kouzes\, PNNL \nTOPIC ABSTRACT:  Within the last decade\, the amount of available 3He has become limited\, while the demand has significantly increased\, especially for science and national security applications. The largest demand for 3He is in gas proportional counters for neutron detection. No other currently available detection technology offers the stability\, sensitivity\, and gamma/neutron discrimination of 3He neutron tubes. Such neutron detectors are used in many applications including neutron scattering research\, international and homeland security\, defense applications\, and well logging. The limited supply has curtailed use of 3He; therefore\, alternative neutron detection technologies must be implemented. There are additional uses of 3He for medical imaging (MRI lung imaging)\, targets\, missile guidance\, 3He-4He dilution refrigerators\, and condensed matter research.\nThe production of 3He from tritium decay has declined as the nuclear weapons stockpile has been reduced\, resulting in a lowered need for tritium to maintain the stockpile. The worldwide\, steady state production of 3He is about 10-20 kliter/y\, while the demand is much higher. This has driven the search for alternate neutron detection technologies to replace the use of 3He.\nOne of the two large uses for 3He has been in radiation portal monitors deployed for homeland security both domestically and internationally. This use is no longer permitted by U.S. government policy. Thus\, an alternative had to be found and deployed over a short period of time. The nuclear physics community successfully met this challenge. Nuclear safeguards and neutron scattering science are no the challenges being addressed. This talk will provide an overview of the 3He supply problem and the application of neutron detectors.\nThis work was supported by U.S. DOE\, U.S. DOD\, U.S. DHS\, and PNNL. \nPizza and soft drinks available at 5:30 social time\, seminar 6-8pm.

SUMMARY:Positively 3 days (a student led conversational art piece created by students for students)
DESCRIPTION:Positively 3 Days is a 3 day event promoting positivity on campus\, it will be a tri-dacted painting the students will be invited to join in promoting positivity within themselves by creating art on canvas. This dialogical event will be placed in the courtyard\, November 17\, 18\, 19 from 11 am to 1 pm. Each day will have a different theme but the ending result of the three days will be a cohesive art piece.

SUMMARY:Junior Writing Portfolio Timed Essay Exam
DESCRIPTION:The Junior Writing Portfolio is a mid-career diagnostic to determine if students’ writing abilities have advanced in ways that can handle the writing demands of upper-division courses and courses in their major. \nSuccessful completion of the Junior Writing Portfolio during the junior year is a requirement for graduation. To meet the requirement\, students must take a timed essay exam and submit a packet of three graded papers. \nRegistration is required for the timed essay exam.
