Dr. Wayland received a BS in physics and mathematics from the University of Idaho, 1931, and became a graduate student at Caltech in 1933, earning his PhD in 1937. After graduation he taught at the University of Redlands while working at Caltech as a research fellow with H. Bateman until 1941. Joins Naval Ordnance Laboratory as head of the magnetic model section for degaussing ships; War Research Fellow at Caltech 1944-45; heads Navy’s Underwater Ordnance Division. In 1949, joins Caltech’s faculty as associate professor of applied mechanics, becoming professor of engineering science in 1963; emeritus in 1979. He describes his early education and graduate work at Caltech under R. A. Millikan; courses with W. R. Smythe, F. Zwicky, M. Ward, and W. V. Houston; http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechOH:OH_Wayland_J teaching mathematics; research with O. Beeck. Fellowship, Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen; work with G. Placzek and M. Knisely; interest in rheology. On return, teaches physics at the University of Redlands meanwhile working with Bateman.

  • Worship Nuts and Bolts III.Pub
    NUTS AND BOLTS III: ALL THINGS MUSICALLY RELATED 1. I NTRODUCTION Worship is a living tradition, a dynamic process that moves between received heritage and the realities and challenges of the present world. It is a conversation that began long before we were born and will continue long after we are gone. Music has always been an integral expression of the proclamation of the Word, of prayer and of the incarnational mystery in worship. The Psalmist proclaims, “I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall be continually in my mouth” (Ps. 34: 1 RSV). As musicians working in the church, our calling is to be creative facilitators and conduits that articulate and offer praise to God; to be, in the words of the poet George Herbert, “secretaries of God’s praise.” Augustine writes in his Confessions, “ ... even now as I am moved not by the song but by the things which are sung, when sung with fluent voice and music that is most appropriate, I acknowledge again the great benefit of this practice. Thus I vacillate between the peril of pleasure and the value of the experience, and I am led more, while advocating no irrevocable position, to endorse the custom of singing in church so that by the pleasure of hearing, the weaker soul might be elevated to an attitude of devotion.” Thirteen centuries later, John Wesley wrote these instructions for Methodists, “Above all sing spiritually. Have an eye to God in every word you sing. Aim at pleasing God more than yourself, or any other creature.

  • Boys and Girls by Alice Munro
    Boys and Girls by Alice Munro My father was a fox farmer. That is, he raised silver foxes, in pens; and in the fall and early winter, when their fur was prime, he killed them and skinned them and sold their pelts to the Hudson's Bay Company or the Montreal Fur Traders. These companies supplied us with heroic calendars to hang, one on each side of the kitchen door. Against a background of cold blue sky and black pine forests and treacherous northern rivers, plumed adventures planted the flags of England and or of France; magnificent savages bent their backs to the portage. For several weeks before Christmas, my father worked after supper in the cellar of our house. The cellar was whitewashed, and lit by a hundred-watt bulb over the worktable. My brother Laird and I sat on the top step and watched. My father removed the pelt inside-out from the body of the fox, which looked surprisingly small, mean, and rat-like, deprived of its arrogant weight of fur. The naked, slippery bodies were collected in a sack and buried in the dump. One time the hired man, Henry Bailey, had taken a swipe at me with this sack, saying, "Christmas present!" My mother thought that was not funny. In fact she disliked the whole pelting operation--that was what the killing, skinning, and preparation of the furs was called – and wished it did not have to take place in the house. There was the smell. After the pelt had been stretched inside-out on a long board my father scraped away delicately, removing the little clotted webs of blood vessels, the bubbles of fat; the smell of blood and animal fat, with the strong primitive odour of the fox itself, penetrated all parts of the house.

  • Quantum Nanoscience: Atoms on Surfaces
    FLEET RESEARCH SEMINAR Quantum Nanoscience: Atoms on Surfaces ANDREAS HEINRICH Center for Quantum Nanoscience Ewha Womans University About the Speaker: Heinrich is a world-leading researcher in the field of quantum measurements on Abstract: The scanning tunneling microscope is the atomic-scale in solids. He pioneered spin excitation an amazing tool because of its atomic-scale spatial and single-atom spin resonance spectroscopy with resolution. This can be combined with the use of scanning tunneling microscopes – methods that have low temperatures, culminating in precise atom provided high-resolution access to the quantum states manipulation and spectroscopy with microvolt of atoms and nanostructures on surfaces. Heinrich is energy resolution. In this talk we will apply these fascinated by the world of atoms and nanostructures, techniques to the investigation of the quantum built with atomic-scale precision, and educates the spin properties of magnetic atoms sitting on thin public on nanoscience as demonstrated by the 2013 insulating films. electronic properties by tuning release of the movie “A Boy and his Atom”. A native of interlayer interaction. Germany, Heinrich received his PhD in 1998 from the University of Goettingen and then joined the research group of Dr. Donald Eigler’s as a postdoc. Heinrich We have recently demonstrated the use of electron spent 18 years in IBM Research, which uniquely spin resonance on single Fe atoms on MgO.

Carlson,1 Kayen K. Yau,1 Robert E. Simpson,2 and Michael P. Short1 Abstract The past decade has seen revolutionary advances in three-dimensional (3D) printing and additive manufacturing. However, a technique to create 3D material microstructures of arbitrary complexity has not yet been developed. We present the conceptual design of a 3D material microprinter as a concrete step toward an eventual 3D material nano- printer. Such a device would enable the use of heterogeneous starting materials with printing resolution on the order of tens of nanometers. By combining a pick-and-place particle transfer method with a custom-built laser sintering optical microscope, the core components of the 3D printer are once again reimagined.

  • The Scientific Life and Influence of Clifford Ambrose Truesdell
    Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 161 (2002) 1–26 Digital Object Identifier (DOI) 10.1007/s002050100178 The Scientific Life and Influence of Clifford Ambrose Truesdell III J. M. Ball & R. D. James Editors 1. Introduction Clifford Truesdell was an extraordinary figure of 20th century science. Through his own contributions and an unparalleled ability to absorb and organize the work of previous generations, he became pre-eminent in the development of continuum mechanics in the decades following the Second World War. A prolific and scholarly writer, whose lucid and pungent style attracted many talented young people to the field, he forcefully articulated a view of the importance and philosophy of ‘rational mechanics’ that became identified with his name. He was born on 18 February 1919 in Los Angeles, graduating from Polytechnic High School in 1936. Before going to university he spent two years at Oxford and traveling elsewhere in Europe. There he improved his knowledge of Latin and Ancient Greek and became proficient in German, French and Italian.These language skills would later prove valuable in his mathematical and historical research. Truesdell was an undergraduate at the California Institute of Technology, where he obtained B.S. degrees in Physics and Mathematics in 1941 and an M.S. in Math- ematics in 1942. He obtained a Certificate in Mechanics from Brown University in 1942, and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Princeton in 1943. From 1944–1946 he was a Staff Member of the Radiation Laboratory at MIT, moving to become Chief of the Theoretical Mechanics Subdivision of the U.S. Naval Ordnance Labo- ratory in White Oak, Maryland, from 1946–1948, and then Head of the Theoretical Mechanics Section of the U.S.
