Foreign Language Research and Teaching Press of Beijing Visits O'Toole Library
A delegation of representatives from the Foreign Language Research and Teaching Press of Beijing, China, visited Saint Peter's College on Tuesday, May 17 to discuss the teaching of Chinese in the United States and here at the College. The delegation was met by Lan Jiang, Ph.D., adjunct professor of Chinese, Rev. Mark DeStephano, S.J., chairman of the department of modern & classical languages and literatures, and David Ornstein, Ph.D., director of the O'Toole Library. Dr. Ornstein spoke to the group about the innovations that have been made in the College's library, giving particular attention to new research and archival facilities, as well as about the opportunities available to conducting research online.
The delegation made a donation to the College library through a variety of Chinese-language teaching materials, including books and computer programs, which will be incorporated both into the book collection and the data section of the new language laboratory that is being constructed through the College's Title V grant. The College's relationship with the Foreign Language Research and Teaching Press will be ongoing, as part of the expansion of the Asian Studies program.

CMST Travels to Paris for Workshop on Microplasmas
Members of the Center for Microplasma Science and Technology (CMST) team as well as undergraduate and graduate students recently attended the 6th International Workshop on Microplasmas, which was held in Paris from April 3-6.
The seven CMST staff members included Jose L. Lopez, Ph.D., assistant professor of physics and director and principal investigator, Wei-Dong Zhu, Ph.D., assistant professor of physics and director of research and co-principal investigator, Rev. Daniel O’Brien, S.J., director of educational outreach, Valencia Johnson, Ph.D., senior research scientist, Jenny M. Mahoney, Ph.D., senior research scientist, Alfred Freilich, Ph.D., senior research scientist, and David Jacome ’10, research technician and visiting graduate student from Stevens Institute of Technology.
In addition to Jacome, students that attended were Danny Palacios ‘14, Justin Lo Re ’11 and Rachel (Ruixue) Wang, a visiting graduate student from Polytechnic Institute of New York University and a graduate student in the Academy for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies at Peking University in China. In total, CMST presented nine posters and hosted one discussion.
Dr. Lopez presented a poster titled “Effects of hydrocarbon contamination on DBD ozone generators.”
Dr. Zhu hosted a discussion titled “Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet Matrix” and presented a poster titled “Treatment of Candida biofilms using a direct-current, atmospheric-pressure, cold plasma microjet.” The poster was jointly presented with the Academy for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies at Peking University and Polytechnic Institute of New York University.
Fr. O’Brien presented a poster titled “Engaging students through education and research in microplasmas.”
Dr. Johnson presented two posters titled “A study of the potential of cathode boundary layer discharge (CBLD) devices with various cathode materials” and “Low temperature atmospheric pressure helium plasma jet in flexible tubings.”
Dr. Mahoney presented a poster titled “Electrical and optical emission measurements of a capillary-DBD in atmospheric air and argon.”
