World War I record of service survey for Harry C. Kerr, signed 5 February 1926.
No full textQuestionnaire about Harry Christopher Kerr's service in World War I, 1917-1919, signed by Kerr on 5 February 1926.Questionnaire originally part of a survey of Norwich University alumni conducted by a “Norwich in the World War” committee consisting of Charles N. Barber (chairman), Carl V. Woodbury, K.R.B. Flint, and Gustaf A. Nelson. Data from these questionnaires may have been used in a chapter of "Vermont in the world war, 1917-1919" by Harold P.

'If I should die tonight' poem
No full textHumorous poem copied by Harrison Kerr and written by Benjamin Franklin King ca. 1890. The poem, titled "If I should die tonight," jokes about money owed to the author and the shock he would experience at being repaid upon his death. It was written as a parody of a serious contemporary poem of the same title.
Harrison Henry Kerr (1839-1901), born in North Georgetown, Ohio, served along with his brother, Ezra, as a private in Company D of the 58th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of Chickasaw Bayou, Mississippi, on December 29, 1862., and held for three months before being exchanged and returning to his regiment. He was discharged on January 14, 1865. Following the war, he was married to Elizabeth (Rettig) Kerr. The two lived in Cleveland and had one son, Harrison McKinley Kerr. In 1888, he joined the Memorial Post No. 141, Grand Army of the Republic. He is buried in North Georgetown Cemetery

Magneto–Optical Kerr Effect Microscopy Investigation on Permalloy Nanostructures
No full textThis thesis focuses on the investigation of magnetic domains in ultrasmall permalloy (Ni80Fe20) structures down to nanometre size. Magnetic domains and domain walls in nano objects are often observed using a very high resolution and high power microscope such as magnetic soft x-ray microscope, magnetic force microscopy imaging and photoemission electron microscopy. A reason for this is because the Kerr signal in nanostructures is very weak. However the results from this thesis demonstrate that magnetic domains in permalloy magnetic nanostructures can still be observed with very good contrast using a Magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) microscope. The constructed Kerr microscope is a home-build wide field microscope and is able to produce magnetic domains image of permalloy nanowire as small as 245 nm, although the resolution limit of the microscope is 505 nm. For the first time, a magnetic domain in nanowire with width of 245 nm is observed using a wide-field microscope. The combination of hysteresis loops and magnetic domains observations for studying a magnetic sample provides a three-dimensional understanding of the magnetic characteristic of the sample. This is crucial in investigating nano samples as the theoretical arguments with the experimental results are always constrained by the experimental part. Three kinds of nanostructure sample were observed using the Kerr microscope; a cross nanowire, zigzag nanowire and a nanowire with notch and a nucleation pad at one end. It was found that a cross nanowire can form magnetic domains upon reversal and the junction forms a magnetisation vortex. Findings from zigzag nanowire demonstrate a complex, multiple magnetic domains formation upon magnetisation reversal. A weak domain wall pinning effect was observed in the nanowire, causing a multiple domains formation in the nanowire upon reversal. It can be confirmed that this effect was caused by the high coercivity of the nucleation pad. For the nanowire with notch, it was demonstrated that the coercivities were different at negative and positive field. But for such case, there is a relationship observed between the percentage notch depth and the coercivity at the junction
Kerr-microresonator solitons from a chirped background
No full textWe demonstrate protected single-soliton formation and operation in a Kerr microresonator using a phase-modulated pump laser. Phase modulation gives rise to spatially varying effective loss and detuning parameters, which in turn lead to an operation regime in which multi-soliton degeneracy is lifted and a single soliton is the only observable behavior. Direct excitation of single solitons is indicated by observed reversal of the characteristic 'soliton step.' Phase modulation also enables precise control of the soliton pulse train's properties, and measured dynamics agree closely with simulations. We show that the technique can be extended to high repetition-frequency Kerr solitons through subharmonic phase modulation. These results facilitate straightforward generation and control of Kerr-soliton microcombs for integrated photonics systems
Walter Howard Kerr papers
No full textPoet Walter Howard Kerr (1914-1994) was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. He relocated to Washington, D.C., in 1931 to work for the Government Printing Office as a printer, a position which he held for over 35 years. Kerr's poetry has been widely anthologized and has been featured in publications such as Southern Poetry Review and Red Clay Reader. Kerr also served as an editor for several publications, including as co-editor of SCOP Publications. He was also active in poetry societies, including tenure as treasurer in the Maryland State Poetry Society and treasurer, vice-president, and president of the Federal Poets, Washington, D. C. The collection includes correspondence, manuscripts, serials, publications, and photographs

Two Journeys Intertwined: Lord Kerr and EU Law
No full textThe career of Lord Kerr happens to coincide with United Kingdom membership of the EU. This chapter reflects on the intersection of that career with EU Law, focusing on the cases Lord Kerr heard in the Supreme Court and in particular those EU Law cases where he gave the leading judgment. Lord Kerr heard about four cases a year with an EU Law dimension across a limited number of fields: more than half the cases concerned immigration and asylum; extradition (under the European Arrest Warrant) and employment law. He was adept at navigating the complex relationship between the two legal orders of EU and domestic law while giving principled and significant judgments on a range of issues including the status of the death penalty in both EU law and in the common law; the obligation on public authorities to adhere to the rule of law; and the existence of an EU law principle of non-discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation. As in other fields, when analysing and applying EU Law, Lord Kerr showed himself to be a progressive judge championing the rights of the individual in relation to the exercise of public authority
