In Memory of United States District Judge Rodney S. Webb
U.S. District of North Dakota Judge Rodney S. Webb passed away after a battle with cancer on August 9, 2009. He graduated from the University of North Dakota with a BSBA degree from the College of Business in 1957, and he earned his J.D. with distinction from the UND School of Law in 1959. While attending UND, Judge Webb was a member of the Phi Delta Phi Legal Fraternity and the Sigma Chi Social Fraternity.
After graduation, Judge Webb practiced law in Grafton, North Dakota from 1959-1981 with the Ringsak, Webb, Rice, & Metelmann Law Firm. During this time, Judge Webb was the Walsh County States Attorney and the president of the North Dakota States Attorney\u27s Association. He then went on to become the Grafton Municipal Judge and the Special Assistant Attorney General for North Dakota.
Judge Webb was appointed to the United States Attorney for the District of North Dakota by president Ronald Reagan on October 8, 1981. Reagan then appointed him United Stated District Judge for the District of North Dakota in 1987. He became Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota on January 1, 1993, and reached Senior Status as of January 1, 2002. He was a member of the United States Attorney General\u27s Advisory Committee of United States Attorneys and a member of the Indian Affairs Subcommittee. Judge Webb retired from the North Dakota Army National Guard JAG Corps with the rank of Colonel. He also served as a member of the Judicial Conference Committee on the Administrative Office.
In 1998, he was awarded the Significant Sig National Award by his social fraternity, and in 1999, he received the Sioux Award, the highest award given by the University of North Dakota Alumni Association. Judge Webb also received the Light of Justice award from the North Dakota state trial lawyers.https://commons.und.edu/lam-sl/1027/thumbnail.jp
Synthesis and characterization of chemically modified graphenes
No full textThis review documents our contributions to the synthesis of chemically-modified graphene (CMG) materials. We focus on methods for the preparation of homogenous colloidal suspensions of CMGs and procedures for the chemical reduction of graphene oxide, along with techniques for the structural elucidation of graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide materials. We conclude with an outline of the persisting chemical challenges and current limitations of practical applications.close

AN IMPROVED COMPACT EMBEDDING THEOREM FOR DEGENERATE SOBOLEV SPACES
Full text linkThis short note investigates the compact embedding of degenerate matrix weighted Sobolev spaces into weighted Lebesgue spaces. The Sobolev spaces explored are defined as the abstract completion of Lipschitz functions in a bounded domain Omega with respect to the norm:parallel to f parallel to(QH1,p(v,mu;Omega)) = parallel to f parallel to(Lvp(Omega)) + parallel to del f parallel to(LQP(mu;Omega))where the weight v is comparable to a power of the pointwise operator norm of the matrix valued function Q = Q(x) in Omega. Following our main theorem, we give an explicit application where degeneracy is controlled through an ellipticity condition of the formw(x)vertical bar xi vertical bar(p) <= (xi center dot Q(x)xi)(p/2) <= tau(x)vertical bar xi vertical bar(p)for a pair of p-admissible weights. We also give explicit examples demonstrating the sharpness of our hypotheses

Growth of Single-Layer and Multilayer Graphene on Cu/Ni Alloy Substrates
No full textGraphene, a one-atom-thick layer of carbon with a honeycomb lattice, has drawn great attention due to its outstanding properties and its various applications in electronic and photonic devices. Mechanical exfoliation has been used for preparing graphene flakes (from monolayer to multilayer with thick pieces also typically present), but with sizes limited typically to less than millimeters, its usefulness is limited. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has been shown to be the most effective technique for the scalable preparation of graphene films with high quality and uniformity. To date, CVD growth of graphene on the most commonly used substrates (Cu and Ni foils) has been demonstrated and intensively studied. However, a survey of the existing literature and earlier work using Cu or Ni substrates for CVD growth indicates that the bilayer and multilayer graphene over a large area, particularly single crystals, have not been obtained. In this Account, we review current progress and development in the CVD growth of graphene and highlight the important challenges that need to be addressed, for example, how to achieve large single crystal graphene films with a controlled number of layers. A single-layer graphene film grown on polycrystalline Cu foil was first reported by our group, and since then various techniques have been devoted to achieving the fast growth of large-area graphene films with high quality. Commercially available Cu/Ni foils, sputtered Cu/Ni thin films, and polycrystalline Cu/Ni foils have been used for the CVD synthesis of bilayer, trilayer, and multilayer graphene. Cu/Ni alloy substrates are particularly interesting due to their greater carbon solubility than pure Cu substrates and this solubility can be finely controlled by changing the alloy composition. These substrates with controlled compositions have shown the potential for the growth of layer-tunable graphene films in addition to providing a much higher growth rate due to their stronger catalytic activity. However, the well-controlled preparation of single crystal graphene with a defined number of layers on Cu/Ni substrates is still challenging. Due to its small lattice mismatch with graphene, a single crystal Cu(111) foil has been shown to be an ideal substrate for the epitaxial growth of graphene. Our group has reported the synthesis of large-size single crystal Cu(111) foils by the contact-free annealing of commercial Cu foils, and single crystal Cu/Ni(111) alloy foils have also been obtained after the heat-treatment of Ni-coated Cu(111) foils. The use of these single crystal foils (especially the Cu/Ni alloy foils) as growth substrates has enabled the fast growth of single crystal single-layer graphene films. By increase of the Ni content, single crystal bilayer, trilayer, and even multilayer graphene films have been synthesized. In addition, we also discuss the wafer-scale growth of single-layer graphene on the single crystalline Cu/Ni(111) thin films. Recent research results on the large-scale preparation of single crystal graphene films with different numbers of layers on various types of Cu/Ni alloy substrates with different compositions are reviewed and discussed in detail. Despite the remarkable progress in this field, further challenges, such as the wafer-scale synthesis of single crystal graphene with a controlled number of layers and a deeper understanding of the growth mechanism of bilayer and multilayer graphene growth on Cu/Ni substrates, still need to be addressed
