Memorial Resolutions 20-42 MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS Jeff Berger William “Bill” Cook Gene Freeman Veryl LeRoy Fritz Richard Dean Heggen Karl “Bob” Kern Nicholas Christopher Lauter Loren Oliver Muench Ganesh Rajagopalan Patricia Redlinger Frank Rizzo Giora Slutzi Patricia Thiel Richard Tondra Jerry Young Iowa State University Faculty Senate May 4, 2021 Jeff Berger June 28, 1943 - February 11, 2020 Philip Jeffrey “Jeff” Berger was born in Newark, NJ, and grew up in Pittstown, NJ. He was active in 4-H, Future Farmers of America, Boy Scouts, and was elected president of his high school class. He received a B.S. from Delaware Valley College in 1965 and a PhD from The Ohio State University in 1970. For 38 years, Jeff taught graduate students in the Department of Animal Science of Iowa State University on linear models and computing and conducted research in animal breeding. Trained as a quantitative geneticist, he had a passion for computer programming and algorithm development. Much of his early work focused on experimental populations, including red flour beetles (tribolium) and mice. His true passion, however, was the dairy cow, with a focus on the genetics of twinning and pioneering the application of the threshold model for genetic analysis of calving difficulty (dystocia) and stillbirth. He conducted the national calving ease evaluation for dairy cattle at Iowa State University from 1978-1999, helping to introduce the threshold model, and conducted preliminary evaluations of stillbirth. Jeff was a Fellow of the American Dairy Science Association and was awarded the prestigious J.L. Lush Award for Animal Breeding and Genetics for his contributions to dairy cattle breeding by the American Dairy Science Association in 2008. Jeff's colleagues found him to be helpful with his time and a generous contributor to many projects. Jeff’s students remember a kind mentor who was always generous with his time and understanding. Along with his wife, Fran, the Berger’s took great care of their academic family by providing a supportive family that made graduate students feel welcome when they came to Ames to study, from all across the world. Jeff was an active member of Collegiate United Methodist Church. He was a supportive father to his daughter and son and a 4-H and Cub Scout leader. He enjoyed vegetable and flower gardening. He was a skilled woodworker and enjoyed reading historical non-fiction and mystery novels. William “Bill” Cook Professor Emeritus William “Bill” Cook passed away February 4, 2021 at the age of 91 William “Bill” Cook, a previous professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, passed away on February 4, 2021 in Downers Grove, Illinois. William John (Bill) Cook was born in Des Moines, Iowa on April 12, 1929. After graduating from Des Moines East High School, he worked as a machinist and served in the U.S. Army. He met Laura Kate Edwards in Fort Meade, Maryland and the couple wed in 1953. Bill went on to earn his BS, MS and PhD in mechanical engineering from Iowa State University, and joined the ME faculty at Iowa State in 1958 as a graduate student. His research was in the field of thermofluids and he taught courses in fluid dynamics, fluid mechanics, and compressible fluid flow. He was also an advisor and mentor for countless students, at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, throughout his career. Administratively, he served as a reviewer for the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology in the late 1990s. He retired with the rank of Professor Emeritus in 2001. Bill is survived by his wife, two children, two grandchildren, and various nieces and nephews.

Growing up on the family's small dairy farm, Gene was active in 4-H, showing and judging dairy cattle, and he learned to hunt at an early age. Gene obtained a B.S. in Dairy Husbandry in 1952 and a M.S. in Animal Breeding in 1954 from West Virginia University and went on to obtain his Ph.D. in Animal Breeding at Cornell University in 1957. Gene spent his entire career at Iowa State University and was named a Charles F. Curtiss Distinguished Professor of Agriculture. He taught and mentored over fifty graduate students and conducted research on dairy cattle breeding and the application of genetic principles to dairy herd nutrition and management. He interacted with his graduate students at both a social and intellectual level and generally treated them as colleagues. He provided strong encouragement and help where necessary. Once they graduated, Gene continued to open doors for his former students. He was a mentor, a colleague, and a friend. He also served as a mentor to numerous visiting scientists (postdoc and sabbatical) and students. Gene had the ability to communicate with any audience, whether it was a farm family or a collection of international scientists, and he had the ability to recognize practical problems faced by dairy farmers and apply scientific principles to solve such problems. Throughout his prolific career, he published more than 200 scientific journal articles and traveled, lectured, and consulted in more than thirty states and twenty countries. Gene received numerous academic and industry honors and awards, including being an inaugural member of the West Virginia University's Academy of Distinguished Alumni, the Borden Foundation Award for outstanding research in Dairy Science, the National Dairy Shrine Guest of Honor, the J.L. Lush Award for Animal Breeding and Genetics from the American Dairy Science Association, and the Rockefeller Prentice Memorial Award in Animal Breeding and Genetics from the American Society of Animal Science. Gene was also active and held leadership positions in multiple professional associations, including the American Dairy Science Association. Gene was a caring and devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He led by example, treating everyone he met with kindness and respect. He was an active member of Collegiate Presbyterian Church, where he taught Sunday school and served as an elder, deacon, and trustee. His hobbies included hunting, woodworking, and golfing and he enjoyed playing bridge and penny poker with his friends. Veryl LeRoy Fritz (Feb. 13, 1928 -- Dec. 16, 2020) Veryl and his twin brother Vernon were born in Menlo, Iowa, where his father Charles and moth er Margaret Fritz farmed. Veryl graduated from Rippey High School in 1945. After farming for a year, he attended Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts (now Iowa State University), graduating in 1951 with a B.S. degree in Agricultural Journalism/Animal Husbandry. He then enlisted in the army with a rank of 2nd Lieutenant and served as a public information officer in Japan and Korea. He continued on reserve status, graduating from the U.S. Army Command & General Staff College in 1965. He retired from the Army Reserve with the rank of Major. After his active military service, he completed a M.S. degree in Animal Science/Advertising in 1956, and was hired as an agricultural copywriter at Klau-Van Pietersom-Dunlap in Milwaukee. While working there, he met and married his wife June. He became an account executive in 1961, and then moved to Detroit as an account executive for Campbell-Ewald Company supervising Firestone Tire & Rubber farm products. After a number of years working as an account executive at several firms, he moved back to Iowa in 1976 to take a managerial advertising position, and in 1977 became Sales Promotion Manager, Farm Machinery, Massey-Ferguson, Inc., Des Moines. He and June lived on an acreage outside of Indianola, Iowa, raising registered Suffolk sheep on their farm for the next 30 years. In 1982 he returned to Iowa State’s Department of Journalism and Mass Communication as an as sistant professor of advertising. In 1985, he was promoted to associate professor and also served as a member of the Iowa State University Press Board. In addition to his teaching, Veryl served as adviser to the ISU NAMA student marketing team and adviser to the Iowa Agriculturist student magazine. In 1989, ISU’s Student Alumni Association named him an Outstanding Academic Adviser. He also had a quarter-time ISU Extension appointment and served as facilitator for Iowa Futures Project town meetings in Boone, Ames, Eagle Grove and Chariton. During his 15 years of teaching, Fritz was a strong advocate for the importance of the Agricultural Journalism degree, and he was disappointed when the degree was ended. When teaching, he emphasized the importance of student creativity, not ing that attractive presentation is no substitute for a meaningful message. Fritz retired in December 1997 but continued to be an active supporter of what is now the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication advertising program. Veryl is survived by his brother Vernon (Alice) Fritz; children, Alan Fritz of Indianola, Carol (Doug) Struss of Cedar Rapids, Charles (Shelley) Fritz of Clive, and Andrea (John) Weaver of Mason, MI; grandsons, Eric, Nick and Ben Struss; granddaughters, Carmen, Madeline and Anna Fritz and Erica Weaver. He was preceded in death by June, his wife of 58 years, his parents Charles and Marion Fritz; sisters Darece Hummel (Don), and Charlene Fritz. Respectfully submitted by Eric Abbott, Emeritus Professor, Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication. Richard “Dick” Dean Heggen Richard Dean Heggen, 89, passed away on Thursday, Dec. 3, 2020, at his home in Ames. Heggen was a Distinguished Professor of Art in the College of Design at Iowa State University from 1966-1996.

  • The Discovery[1,2] of the First Stable Binary Icosahedral Phase
    Discovery of a binary icosahedral quasicrystal in Sc12Zn88 P.C. Canfield1,2*, M.L. Caudle2, C.-S. Ho1†, A. Kreyssig1,2, S. Nandi1,2, M. G. Kim1,2, X. Lin1,2, A. Kracher1, K. W. Dennis1, R.W.

These two morphologies manifest different degrees of quasicrystalline order, or phason strain. The discovery of i-Sc12Zn88 suggests that a reexamination of binary phase diagrams at compositions close to crystalline approximant structures may reveal other, new binary quasicrystalline phases. 1 Icosahedral quasicrystals, discovered 25 years ago[1], possess long-range positional and orientational order, but lack the periodic translational order of crystalline solids[2]. Although they form, almost readily, in a wide variety of ternary and quaternary metallic alloys, examples of stable binary icosahedral quasicrystals are quite rare. Indeed, it has been nearly a decade since the discovery of the only known stable binary icosahedral phases in Cd-Yb and Cd-Ca[3,4]. Binary alloys offer several important advantages, not the least of which is their simplicity, relative to ternary and quaternary compositions, for structural studies and theoretical treatments.

    Scientists advance the understanding of the big getting bigger 4 November 2010 size, such that 'the big get bigger,'" says the paper. Examples of the process include the geologic formation of gemstones, the degradation of pharmaceutical suspensions and the manufacture of structural steels. Thiel and Evans were invited to write the paper after Thiel delivered a talk at an American Chemical Society meeting about their studies of coarsening, an emerging field in surface chemistry. Thiel worked with Mingmin Shen, a former Iowa James Evans and Patricia Thiel, of Iowa State University State doctoral student who is now a post-doctoral and the US Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory, research associate at Pacific Northwest National are using scanning tunneling microscope technology to study coarsening. Understanding the process could Laboratory in Richland, Wash., on the experimental improve the stability of nanoscale technologies. Credit: side of the coarsening research. Evans worked with Photo by Bob Elbert/Iowa State University Da-Jiang Liu, an associate scientist at the Ames Laboratory, on the theoretical side of the project. The researchers, with the support of grants from Patricia Thiel of Iowa State University and the the National Science Foundation, have been using Ames Laboratory put a box of tissues to the right, a scanning tunneling microscope technology - an stack of coasters to the middle and a trinket box to instrument that allows them to see individual atoms the left. - to study how coarsening happens on the surface of objects. "Nature," she said of her table-top illustration, "doesn't want lots of little things." So Thiel grabbed They've studied nanoscale particles grown on the the smaller things and slid them into a single pile surface of silver and how adding sulfur can next to the bigger tissue box.
