Experimental observation of the breaking and recombination of single Cooper pairs
No full textA.J.F. would like to acknowledge the Hitachi Research fellowship, support from Hitachi Cambridge Laboratory, and support from the EPSRC Grant No. EP/H016872/1. B.W.L. is supported by a Royal Society University Research Fellowship. F.A.P. would like to thank the Leverhulme Trust for financial support.We observe the real-time breaking of single Cooper pairs by monitoring the radio-frequency impedance of a superconducting double quantum dot. The Cooper pair breaking rate in the microscale islands of our device decreases as temperature is reduced, saturating at 2 kHz for temperatures beneath 100 mK. In addition, we measure in real time the quasiparticle recombination into Cooper pairs. Analysis of the recombination rates shows that, in contrast to bulk films, a multistage recombination pathway is followed.Peer reviewe

Mini Cooper 1961-2000
No full textFrom its launch on 20 September 1961 the Mini Cooper caused a sensation. The world’s first sports saloon, the diminutive Cooper combined the glamour and racing heritage of 1959 and 1960 Formula 1 champions the Cooper Car Company with the outstanding handling and downright practicability of the Austin Mini Seven and Morris Mini Minor. Alec Issigonis’s little people’s car had been launched by the manufacturer, the British Motor Corporation (BMC), two years earlier. A winner almost from the word go, the Mini Cooper not only ruled the racetracks and rally stages of the early and mid-1960s but proved to be a practical and fun sporting family saloon car. After over 100,000 examples were sold between 1961 and 1971, the Mini Cooper is still a practical sporting saloon in the guise of the BMW-owned MINI Cooper sixty years after the introduction of the original model.This remarkable product of the United Kingdom merits a fresh examination as it nears its sixtieth birthday. Based upon over fifty face-to-face interviews carried out by the author over more than a decade, this book quotes the Mini Cooper’s designers, developers, and professional race and rally drivers plus a host of contemporary owners. Here then in the words of its originators, is the story of the Mini Cooper
Sequence-Based Molecular Epidemiology of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
No full textMethicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) are a major cause of nosocomial infections requiring accurate and rapid molecular techniques for epidemiological analysis. Increased genomic sequence information has resulted in the development of several sequence-based epidemiological approaches. However, current efforts, such as multi-locus sequence typing (MLST), have been found to be insufficiently sensitive for hospital epidemiology of MRSA. In addition, direct sequence analysis of multiple loci is associated with issues of cost, time, and complexity of data analysis. Therefore, the analysis, either directly or indirectly, of fewer genomic sequences without sacrificing epidemiological discrimination is a desirable goal. It has been hypothesized that the Staphylococcal genome contains sequences that mutate at a rate which would provide epidemiologically-relevant information. The goal of this thesis was to identify and evaluate target sequences and techniques for use in sequence-based epidemiology. Existing Staphylococcal sequence databases were queried for the recognition of hypervariable genetic regions, which resulted in the identification of target sequences within yo/C, gyrA, qgrB, ISR, and r/rn. The genetic variability and discrimination contained within each of these genetic regions was assessed by analysis of a panel of 20 previously characterized MRS A strains. While none of the target sequences were as discriminatory as the current molecular epidemiological 'gold standard' pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), several of the regions, alone or in combination, produced similar or slightly better results than MLST. In addition, the analysis of these target sequences was investigated against several mutation detection assays performed on the Transgenomics WAVE or the Nanogen* electronic microarray platform. While not applicable to all of the genetic sequences, the mutation detection methods investigated were found to be relatively rapid, accurate, and easy to perform. Finally, the application of selected target sequences and assays, was found to be unable to differentiate many of the unrelated isolates from a panel of 9 clinical MRSA isolates. Since the mutation detection assays were found to be quite accurate, this lack of discrimination is attributed to insufficient variability within the target sequences. The results of this study suggest that epidemiologically-relevant target sequences remain to be optimized and that alternative mutation detection assays represent a potential platform for efficient and cost- effective sequence-based epidemiological analysis.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optionxv, 241 page
About Dale Cooper
No full textDale J. Cooper (b. 1941) is chaplain emeritus of Calvin College (now University), a position he held for thirty years, starting in 1979. The chaplaincy, he said, offered the best of three worlds—the opportunity to teach, to preach, and to be a pastor to 4,000 students. Cooper—known to decades of students as “Coop”—initiated the LOFT worship service on campus in 1996.
In 2008, after retiring from his role as chaplain and religion professor, Cooper joined the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship as a resource development specialist for liturgical spirituality. His contributions included a four-year run as author of Coop’s Column, featuring spiritual reflections on Christian worship. Cooper also became an adjunct faculty member in Calvin’s department of Congregational and Ministry Studies, where he has served as a pastoral mentor in the Jubilee Fellows program. With the advent of the Calvin Prison Initiative in 2015, Cooper also began teaching at the Richard A. Handlon Correctional Facility.
Cooper’s writings over the years have included a study guide to the Psalms, meditations for the Calvin journal Dialogue, and a twelve-part series highlighting John Calvin’s teachings for The Banner. Cooper was ordained in the Christian Reformed Church of North America in 1972. Before joining the Calvin College faculty in 1976, he worked for five years at Calvin Christian High School and Unity Christian High School.
In recognition of his extensive impact on campus and beyond, Cooper was named the recipient of Calvin’s Faith and Learning Award in 2017. He also received the Calvin Theological Seminary Distinguished Alumni Award in 2015.
Cooper earned a bachelor’s degree from Calvin College (1964), an MDiv degree from Calvin Theological Seminary (1968), and a doctorandus degree from the Free University of Amsterdam (1971). His family has established the Dale and Marcia Cooper Family Scholarship to benefit international students at Calvin. His stated life\u27s aim: To live faithfully as Jesus\u27 disciple for the world to see.https://digitalcommons.calvin.edu/cicw-staff-work/1003/thumbnail.jp
Peyton Woodson Cooper Interview
No full textPeyton Woodson Cooper (Class of 2000) was interviewed by India Simmons in the Texana Room of Fondren Library on February 23, 2019. The interview was recorded by India Simmons. In her interview, Ms. Cooper discusses growing up in South Oak Cliff in Dallas, which at the time was predominantly middle class African American. She attended schools throughout Dallas as a Gifted and Talented student, before finally choosing to attend SMU. Majoring in Journalism, Ms. Cooper touches on how through the department she made various connections with SMU administration and donors, all of which impacted her professional career. She switched over to Public Relations in her mid-20s, following her marriage, and moved across the United States before finally returning to Katy, Texas where she currently resides. Now, a published author, Ms. Cooper spends her time traveling, devoted to her faith and family, and is overall pleased with her experiences at SMU
