Summer 2013: Community-Wide Conversation Focuses on Recruiting and Retaining Young Talent
No full textA significant discussion on regional progress – and ways to relay that progress to members of Generation Y, in particular – kicked off at St. Norbert on Oct. 15. Futurist, economist and author Rebecca Ryan talked about means by which communities like the Greater Green Bay area can enhance their ability to recruit and retain the next generation of talent.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/snc_magazine_archives_2013-2018/1084/thumbnail.jp
In a Class by Himself
No full textThis year, for the first time, an alumni presenter will be among those taking part in Alumni College. C.J. Hribal ’79, author and Marquette University professor, will offer a lecture on the art of mystery in fiction. Hribal joins St. Norbert professors (some of them SNC alums, too!) on the faculty of the annual event that draws alums back to campus for a weekend opportunity to reconnect.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/snc_magazine_archives_2013-2018/1002/thumbnail.jp

Spring 2015: Thought Leaders Weigh Issues of Violence and Reconciliation
No full textThe “Thought Leaders Weigh Issues of Violence and Reconciliation” article from St. Norbert College Magazine’s Spring 2015 issue recounts a powerful dialogue between author bell hooks and sociologist Beth Richie during hooks’ campus residency. Centered on the theme “Ending Violence: How We Change,” the conversation explored systemic violence, personal accountability, and the transformative potential of love and community. Richie, an advisor to the NFL on domestic violence, and hooks, a renowned social justice scholar, emphasized the need for honest dialogue, healing, and grassroots change—urging individuals to start small, act locally, and build inclusive spaces of understanding and care.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/snc_magazine_archives_2013-2018/1244/thumbnail.jp
Silicon as an intermediary between renewable energy and hydrogen
No full textNon-renewable energy sources are becoming depleted. Air and water (our environment) are precious and will be under increased jeopardy without effective energy and environmental policies. A hydrogen technology based upon solar energy represents a viable solution to these problems. Silicon successfully functions as a tailor-made intermediate linking decentrally operating renewable energy-generation technology with equally decentrally organised hydrogen-based infrastructure at any location of choice. The transport and storage of silicon are free from potential hazards and/or high energy losses and require a simple infrastructure similar to that needed for coal. --
Silicon as an intermediary between renewable energy and hydrogen
No full textWeltweit nehmen Kohle-, Öl- und Erdgasvorräte ab, der Energiebedarf dagegen steigt dramatisch an. Regenerative Energien mindern zwar die steigenden Klimagefahren, können aber unseren zukünftigen Energiebedarf in Ballungszentren kaum decken. Nach Einschätzung zahlreicher Experten gehört dem Wasserstoff die Zukunft. Er wird aber derzeit nahezu ausschließlich aus fossilen Brennstoffen gewonnen; damit bleibt auch diese Ressource endlich - ganz zu schweigen von ihrem hohen Gefährdungspotenzial. - Das neuartige Energiekonzept einer solaren und damit kohlenstoffunabhängigen Wasserstoffwirtschaft bedarf zur technischen Realisierung eines Zwischenspeichers für regenerative Energien. Dieser zukünftige Energieträger sollte synthetisch einfach erzeugbar sein, in unbegrenztem Maß zur Verfügung stehen oder zumindest recycelbar sein, die Energie permanent speichern und gefahrlos transportierbar sein, eine hohe Energiedichte aufweisen und kein Kohlendioxid oder andere (Klima-) Schadstoffe freisetzen. - Das Element Silicium kann zu einem maßgeschneiderten Bindeglied zur Ankoppelung dezentraler regenerativer Energieerzeugung an eine ebenso dezentrale Wasserstoffwirtschaft an jedem beliebigen Ort werden. Der Transport und die Speicherung von Silicium sind - im Gegensatz zu Öl oder besonders zu Wasserstoff - ohne Gefährdungspotenzial und/oder hohe Energieverluste möglich und erfordern nur eine technische Infrastruktur, wie sie auch für Kohle benötigt wird.Global reserves of coal, oil and natural gas are diminishing; global energy requirements however are dramatically increasing. Renewable energy sources lower the threat to the earth’s climate but are not able to meet the energy consumption in major urban areas. The opinion of many experts is that the future will be dominated by hydrogen. However, this gas is essentially totally manufactured from fossil fuels and is hence of limited abundance – not to mention the hazards involved in its utilisation. - A novel energy concept involving solar and thus carbon-independent hydrogen-based technology necessitates an intermediate storage vehicle for renewable energy. This future energy carrier should be simple to manufacture, be available to an unlimited degree or at least be suitable for recycling, be able to store and transport the energy without hazards, demonstrate a high energy density and release no carbon dioxide or other climatically detrimental substances. - Silicon successfully functions as a tailor-made intermediate linking decentrally operating renewable energy-generation technology with equally decentrally organised hydrogen-based infrastructure at any location of choice. In contrast to oil and in particular hydrogen, the transport and storage of silicon are free from potential hazards and require a simple infrastructure similar to that needed for coal
