Meldorf is making its energy supply climate neutral and providing an example of sustainable municipal services of general interest The project is also an opportunity to test out the use of large-scale heat storage systems to increase the usage of major solar thermal energy facilities in northern Germany ​The town of Meldorf plans to provide climate-friendly district heating to publicly-owned buildings with most of their heating needs to be met using waste heat from the local printing works and biogas plant In order to achieve a high waste heat utilisation percentage we needed to use a geothermal energy storage system around 50 000 m 3 in size be no way of making good use of the waste heat in summer The project is an example of how existing resources can be used to supply buildings with energy in a climate-neutral way It is also an opportunity to test out the use of large-scale heat storage systems in the medium term to increase the usage of solar thermal energy in northern Germany as has been done in Denmark Meldorf established a municipal company under the name of WIMeG (WärmeInfrastruktur Meldorf GmbH & Co.KG) the project is currently being implemented via the German Environment Ministry's support programme for municipal pilot climate projects The next stages will involve integrating solar thermal energy and connecting other residential and commercial buildings to the system The project involves an investment of around EUR 6 million and will result in CO 2 savings of approximately 90% "Heating engineers should not just be calorie catchers but should look beyond the immediate boundaries of their field as there may be more to be gained there than from fuel economy."

Jan Schakowsky will not seek 15th term, capping a career of progressive advocacy While many Northwestern students this summer might find themselves stuck in traffic commuting to their office internship bunking in the middle of the woods at summer camp jobs or catching up with hometown friends by the beach Communication junior Brady Meldorf is spending his break researching cults Using funding from a Summer Undergraduate Research Grant, Meldorf will spend eight weeks researching and writing a screenplay for a feature film. His film, titled “How to make Kool-Aid,” references the saying “drinking the Kool-Aid.” The phrase is associated with the events that occurred in Jonestown when over 900 members of the Peoples Temple movement died after drinking a flavored beverage laced with potassium cyanide.  “‘How to make Kool-Aid’ is in reference to the entire project which is me basically laying out the steps of cult indoctrination and how they relate to modern-day political extremism,” Meldorf said.  SURG funding provides a student with a $4,000 stipend to cover living or research expenses for eight weeks of full-time research in an academic or creative discipline of their choice.  the stipend will help support him as he spends time each day researching and writing his script.  “I spent the first two and a half weeks researching the very fine details of how cult indoctrination works and then I went and filled in all the cracks of what I thought was missing in terms of my story like trying to make connections to modern-day political extremism,” Meldorf said “I spent the first couple of days rewriting the synopsis of the script because I wanted to make sure I had a good outline before I actually started the nitty-gritty writing portion.” Meldorf came up with the idea during a feature film writing class while studying abroad in Prague during Fall Quarter but he felt he didn’t know enough about cult indoctrination to do the topic justice.  After hearing about the flexibility the SURG program offered Meldorf decided to apply for the grant in hopes of pursuing the film further “I was still applying to internships as I applied to SURG but film internships especially will not get back to you until like the last week of May,” Meldorf “I didn’t really feel like waiting around for another two months not knowing what I was doing over the summer.” single-spaced research proposal that outlines the student’s plan to complete their research project Proposal titles for this year spanned topics from “‘Twilight’ and the 2008 Recession: How the Hyper-liminal Vampire Reflects Economic Anxieties” to “Investigating Roles of SRCAP Mutation in Skin Cancer Development.”  sophomore Weinberg sophomore Riley Harrison is using her SURG funding to pursue a creative project this summer titled “A Poetic Sense of Place in Cape Cod,” will take her to the Massachusetts peninsula she will spend time writing a series of poetry in response to the Cape Cod landscape and established poets like Mary Oliver who have also spent time writing and working on the peninsula.  a theatre and creative writing major with a concentration in poetry was intrigued by the intersection between poetry and research that the SURG enabled her to explore and decided to apply for the grant to further explore the connections between the two ‘What does the intersection between research and poetry look like?’” Harrison said “I mentioned that I was planning on staying with a friend for a little bit of time over the summer in Cape Cod it kind of turned into a conversation about Cape Cod specifically and how I could use that existing travel plan to assist my search.” While the SURG is one way students are undertaking research this summer are continuing research they began during the school year.  Kim obtained funding from the Michael Jaharis Undergraduate Research Fellowship a summer grant which helps support research in the pharmaceutical sciences to continue his work with the Falk Center for Molecular Therapeutics developing drug therapy for Alzheimer’s disease and research is definitely more important than getting an internship as a pre-med student,” Kim said “I’m not opposed to getting an internship for other summers but this summer is perfect to start research because the earlier you start While Kim was ultimately able to secure funding for his summer research through the biomedical engineering department he advises students interested in doing summer research to apply early and often for multiple grants to avoid missing out on funding for things that you’re interested in and then start committing Winter Quarter so that you can have time to write up these proposals,” Kim said be open-minded about what you want to do.”  Email: [email protected] Twitter: @TabithaParent12 — Ninety-nine rejections and a single success: NU students share about their summer internships — Navigating undergraduate summer research at Northwestern — NU students explore academic interests through summer research opportunities This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page You are using an outdated browser.
