Interview with Kenneth Sprunt
No full textKenneth Sprunt was born in Wilmington in 1920, the third son of James Lawrence Sprunt. The Sprunts have a long history in and around Wilimington. His grandfather was a cotton merchant in the area and his great-great Uncle is the man for whom James Sprunt Community College is named for as well as the author of Chronicles of the Lower Cape Fear. Mr. Kenneth Sprunt relates his family history both before his birth and after. He spent three years in the Coast Guard during WWII primarily working on anti-submarine warfare in small boats
Memorandum from Kenneth Iyeko
No full textMemorandum from Kenneth Iyeko regarding establishment and support of the Japanese American Citizens' League at incarceration camps operated by War Relocation Authority.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide
The Effect of Electrostatic Screening on a Nanometer Scale Electrometer
No full textWe investigate the effect of electrostatic screening on a nanoscale silicon MOSFET electrometer. We find that screening by the lightly doped p-type substrate, on which the MOSFET is fabricated, significantly affects the sensitivity of the device. We are able to tune the rate and magnitude of the screening effect by varying the temperature and the voltages applied to the device, respectively. We show that despite this screening effect, the electrometer is still very sensitive to its electrostatic environment, even at room temperature.United States.

Contact-independent measurement of electrical Conductance of a Thin Film with a Nanoscale Sensor
No full textContact effects are a common impediment to electrical measurements throughout the fields of nanoelectronics, organic electronics, and the emerging field of graphene electronics. We demonstrate a novel method of measuring electrical conductance in a thin film of amorphous germanium that is insensitive to contact effects. The measurement is based on the capacitive coupling of a nanoscale metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) to the thin film so that the MOSFET senses charge diffusion in the film. We tune the contact resistance between the film and contact electrodes and show that our measurement is unaffected. With the MOSFET, we measure the temperature and field dependence of the conductance of the amorphous germanium, which are fit to a model of variable-range hopping. The device structure enables both a contact-independent and a conventional, contact-dependent measurement, which makes it possible to discern the effect of the contacts in the latter measurement. This measurement method can be used for reliable electrical characterization of new materials and to determine the effect of contacts on conventional electron transport measurements, thus guiding the choice of optimal contact materials.United States.

A Review by Kenneth Atkinson of Alexandria and Qumran: Back to the Beginning, by Kenneth Silver
No full textKenneth Silver (a.k.a. Kenneth A. K. Lönnqvist), is a historian and professional archaeologist, who has lived and worked for decades in the Near East. With extensive publications on Hellenistic and Roman archaeology, history, and numismatics, Silver is the director of a survey and mapping project in Northern Mesopotamia studying the border zone between the late Roman/ Byzantine Empires and Persia. Author of numerous publications on Qumran and related topics, Silver’s lengthy monograph proposes that the documents and type of library found at Qumran were based on models derived from Egypt. The main thesis of the volume is that Pythagorean philosophy is the core and basis for the beliefs reflected in the non-Biblical texts found at Qumran
Measuring Charge Transport in a Thin Solid Film Using Charge Sensing
No full textWe measure charge transport in a hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film using a nanometer scale silicon MOSFET as a charge sensor. This charge detection technique makes possible the measurement of extremely large resistances even in the presence of blocking contacts. At high temperatures, where the resistance of the a-Si:H is not too large, the charge detection measurement agrees with a direct measurement of current. The device geometry allows us to probe both the field effect and dispersive transport in the a-Si:H using charge sensing and to extract the density of states near the Fermi energy.United States.

The implications for ministry of the teachings of Kenneth Cracknell with special reference to former students
No full textTo be effective in ministry in the contemporary religious milieu, today's seminarians, tomorrow's church leaders, must receive more than a mere academic experience; they need practical experience as to how to function effectively within a socially diverse climate of faith. The author documents the long term impact of Kenneth Cracknell's attempts to nurture cross cultural understanding and cooperation within the seminary context. The intent of this exposition is to demonstrate that Kenneth Cracknell has purposefully created a tranformative environment using interfaith dialogue as an effective paradigm for informing today's diverse seminary population. To that end, opinions, reactions and musings of a dozen former students are documented and presented herein as models of appropriate conversation for interfaith dialogue
