Former Michigan State University Trustee Delores M. Cook talks about her life changing relationship with MSU
No full textGift of the MSU Faculty Emeriti Association.Former Michigan State University Trustee Delores M. (Dee) Cook talks about her life changing relationship with the Michigan State. She recalls her youth in Detroit, her budding singing career in local radio, coming to MSU to major in Communication Arts, campus life in the early nineteen-fifties and the atmosphere of excitement and challenge on campus. An emotional Cook reflects on her love of the University, her early married life and what brought her to run for the position of Trustee. She also discuses being recruited by John Engler to run for the board, the creation of the Wharton Center and the Broad School of Business, the duties of the trustees, hiring a university president, dealing with controversy, and the great value of university faculty. Cook is interviewed by Pauline Adams for the Michigan State University Faculty Emeriti Association Oral History Project

Captain Cook, navigator and scientist : Papers presented at the Cook Bicentenary Symposium Australian Academy of Science, Canberra 1 May 1969.
No full textMan and occasion met when the Royal Society chose Captain James Cook to command Endeavour on the expedition to Tahiti in 1769 to observe the transit of Venus, a phenomenon of outstanding scientific importance. Its importance was matched by the work of Cook and his fellow-scientists on this and subsequent voyages. Cook was a formidable man: powerful, meticulously painstaking, accurate, and patient. He was the supreme navigator of the eighteenth century, and his observations have been as valuable as they were diverse: from control of scurvy to determining the solar parallax, calculating lunar distances, and disproving the theory of a vast southern continent. The considerable legacy of scientific accomplishments his voyages produced were the subjects of the 1969 Symposium sponsored by the Australian Academy of Science to commemorate Captain Cook{u2019}s work in the Pacific. Six distinguished scientists and historians delivered addresses on Cook and his scientific companions, the observations at Tahiti, his work as scientist and navigator, the botany of the South Pacific region, and the Great Barrier Reef (on which Cook nearly came to grief). This book significantly expands our knowledge of Cook. His voyages and achievements will be as stimulating to those of inquiring mind as they have been challenging to scientists from his own day to ours
Winifred De Witt Van Zantwick-Cook : early twentieth-century life, part 2
No full textIn Part 2 of Dave Seibold's interview with Win Dewitt Vanzantwick-Cook, Mrs. Cook recalls the role of milkmen during Prohibition, taking the passenger ferry the Fannie M. Rose to the Fruitport Pavilion, and labor-saving devices utilized by women in the 1920's. The Cutler House, The Magnetic Mineral Springs and Sanitarium, the Crescent Theater, area float bridges, former Negro slaves, Grand Haven's first strike at the Challenge Stamping & Porcelain Company, and the fire of 1889 are also discussed

No full textJeffery Cook was interviewed on October 19 & 28, 2011 by Logan Tapscott about growing up in the 50s and 60s and his time as a student at Gettysburg. He discussed the change of divisions in the college's sports, meeting his wife, going to law school at Duke, his career as a lawyer, and coaching the Gettysburg College Women's Rugby team.Lorenson, Nancy; Shoemaker, Howard G.; Haas, Eugene; Hanson, C.

Export Performance in South Pacific Countries With Inadequate Endowments of Natural Resources: Cook Islands, Kiribati, Niue and Tuvalu, 1960 to 1999
No full textStochastic dominance analysis was used to assess export performance in four South Pacific island countries with very limited natural resources: Cook Islands; Kiribati; Niue; and Tuvalu. Total export values declined significantly over the study period in all four countries, brought about by a significant decline in the value of agricultural exports while non-agricultural exports showed only small increases. Results seem to confirm the view that these countries have insufficient natural resource endowments for sustainable economic development without outside support. The fisheries sector holds the key to whether the economies under study (bar Niue) can transform themselves into productive ones by exploiting further the fishery resources within their EEZs to develop domestic fishing industries.export performance, Cook Islands, Kiribati, Niue, stochastic dominance, Tuvalu, International Relations/Trade,
Burial-exhumation history of the central Apennines (Italy), from the foreland to the chain building: thermochronological and geological data
No full textA clear correlation between regional unconformities and related
exhumation events was documented by thermochronological and
geological data in the central Apennines. This approach allowed:
(i) two major exhumation episodes to be identified, corresponding
to turning points in the long-term burial history, from rifting
to convergent margin development, and (ii) a quantification of
the amount of section removed during the two exhumation
events. The first exhumation event was connected with the
foreland buckling process associated with the coupling between
the Alpine–Apennines system, the Dinarides chain and their
common foreland. During the Neogene a thrust-system development,
the superposition of an allochthonous unit is envisaged to
explain the second palaeoheating event. The dismantling of this additional load in central Apennines has been related to
the formation of the Middle Pliocene Unconformity, during
the development of the Pliocene–Quaternary frontal thrust of the Apennine Chain
Trading Time and Space in Catalytic Branching Programs
No full textAn m-catalytic branching program (Girard, Koucký, McKenzie 2015) is a set of m distinct branching programs for f which are permitted to share internal (i.e. non-source non-sink) nodes. While originally introduced as a non-uniform analogue to catalytic space, this also gives a natural notion of amortized non-uniform space complexity for f, namely the smallest value |G|/m for an m-catalytic branching program G for f (Potechin 2017).
Potechin (2017) showed that every function f has amortized size O(n), witnessed by an m-catalytic branching program where m = 2^(2ⁿ-1). We recreate this result by defining a catalytic algorithm for evaluating polynomials using a large amount of space but O(n) time. This allows us to balance this with previously known algorithms which are efficient with respect to space at the cost of time (Cook, Mertz 2020, 2021). We show that for any ε ≥ 2n^(-1), every function f has an m-catalytic branching program of size O_ε(mn), where m = 2^(2^(ε n)). We similarly recreate an improved result due to Robere and Zuiddam (2021), and show that for d ≤ n and ε ≥ 2d^(-1), the same result holds for m = 2^binom(n, ≤ ε d) as long as f is a degree-d polynomial over ₂. We also show that for certain classes of functions, m can be reduced to 2^(poly n) while still maintaining linear or quasi-linear amortized size.
In the other direction, we bound the necessary length, and by extension the amortized size, of any permutation branching program for an arbitrary function between 3n and 4n-4
