Campus Seminar Announcement "A New Energy Future" Colleagues - I write to encourage you to take advantage of an exciting opportunity for your students on the afternoon of Friday, Sept. 13, 2013, at Loeb Hall. Together, the new Purdue Institute for Civic Communication (PICC), Bloomberg View (the opinion and analytical platform of Bloomberg News), and C-SPAN will present a series of forums on the issue of energy. The conference, entitled "A New Energy Future," will start at 1:30 pm and wrap up at 6 pm. The conference will address questions including: What are future needs for fossil fuels and can or should they be eliminated and replaced? Can we rely on renewables? Do practical solutions exist to reduce carbon emissions? How does natural gas change the equation? Is energy independence in reach? Bloomberg View is inviting speakers from its talent line-up of writers and analysts, as well as representatives from Bloomberg New Energy Finance, which provides news and analytical tools to the energy sector. Brian Lamb is expected to interview a CEO of a major corporation on energy use. The forum will feature several Purdue faculty, including Jim Braun, Maureen McCann, and Wally Tyner in a panel that I will moderate. Program details will be available soon. The format will encourage student Q&A. I hope you will encourage your students to attend. If you wish to give "attendance credit" for participating, the PICC will assist in taking attendance for the event for faculty who request such assistance. Please contact the PICC Executive Director, Ambassador Carolyn Curiel, at curiel(a)purdue.edu<mailto:curiel@purdue.edu>, or her student assistant, Alison Gayer, agayer(a)purdue.edu<mailto:agayer@purdue.edu>, with any questions.

Seminar Reminder: Thursday @ 3pm - Xuan Li
by Mosier, Nathan S 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

Seminar Schedule Next Seminar: October 24rd, Xuan Li (PhD Defense Practice) "Improved Detection Techniques for Foodborne Pathogens: Separation Techniques Using Crossflow Microfiltration" Separating and concentrating microorganisms in foods have been suggested as an alternative to enrichment culture as a pre-analytical step of detection in accordance with the need of a truly real-time technique for foodborne pathogen detection. Direct concentrating and recovering cells from food matrices is difficult due to the heterogeneous nature of foods and there is a lack of method to cope with this difficulty. As a remedy to this problem, this work proposed a new protocol which includes sampling from food by homogenizing, enzymatic pretreatment of crude food homogenates, pre-filtration, and cell concentration and recovery using a cell concentration instrument. The principle of instrument is to process the food samples by microfiltration in a cross-flow mode to concentrate the sample to a small volume, increasing the concentration of microbial cells to a detectable level so that they may be effectively probed for the presence of pathogens. In addition, a mathematical model is developed to clarify the fouling process and to provide insight into the optimization of membrane design, operational conditions and cleaning procedures. All LORRE graduate students are expected to attend.

The contractor will be mobilizing shortly, if not already, and work will begin in earnest on October 7. The first phase is in hallways on the west side and middle section of the building. Because the first week of work includes Fall Break, it is an ideal time to work long and hard outside the distance education class studios, and the contractor is planning to take full advantage of classes not being in session for the first two days. Throughout this phase, the contractor will be mindful of foot traffic and will not impede progress through the halls. Thanks, Donna Donna J.
