Interview with Caleb Steele - OH 765
No full textThis interview was conducted by Stacy Steele with Caleb Steele as part of Project 2020: A Collaborative Oral History. In the interview, Steele discusses the educational and social challenges amid the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly from the student perspective. Notable topics of conversation include the COVID-19 pandemic, education, virtual learning, and the lack of socialization.
Caleb Steele is the son of the interviewer, Stacy Steele. At the time of the interview, he was an eighth grader at Saluda Trail Middle School in Rock Hill, SC.
Spearheaded by Dr. O. Jennifer Dixon-McKnight, an Assistant Professor of History & African American Studies at Winthrop University, Project 2020 is best summarized in her words: “The goal was to conduct interviews that explored the various ways in which Americans were experiencing and being impacted by the various watershed moments that emerged during 2020 (the global pandemic, social unrest, financial challenges, issues with healthcare, etc.).”https://digitalcommons.winthrop.edu/oralhistoryprogram/1680/thumbnail.jp
Interaction-Driven Giant Orbital Magnetic Moments in Carbon Nanotubes
No full textCarbon nanotubes continue to be model systems for studies of confinement and interactions. This is particularly true in the case of so-called "ultraclean" carbon nanotube devices offering the study of quantum dots with extremely low disorder. The quality of such systems, however, has increasingly revealed glaring discrepancies between experiment and theory. Here, we address the outstanding anomaly of exceptionally large orbital magnetic moments in carbon nanotube quantum dots. We perform low temperature magnetotransport measurements of the orbital magnetic moment and find it is up to 7 times larger than expected from the conventional semiclassical model. Moreover, the magnitude of the magnetic moment monotonically drops with the addition of each electron to the quantum dot directly contradicting the widely accepted shell filling picture of single-particle levels. We carry out quasiparticle calculations, both from first principles and within the effective-mass approximation, and find the giant magnetic moments can only be captured by considering a self-energy correction to the electronic band structure due to electron-electron interactions.QN/van der Zant LabQN/Steele La
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Tribute to the legend Mr. veterinary public health, Professor James Steele (1913 -2013): a late pioneer of one health in Nigeria
No full textBetween 2013 and 2014, the One Health World witnessed the demise of three pioneers of One Health in Nigeria- Professor Gabriel Oluwole Esuruoso, the Father of Veterinary Public Health in Nigeria, who died on 26lh January 2013 aged 80; Prof James Steele, often referred to as the “father of veterinary public health”, died Nov. 10 2013, aged 100 years old; and Prof David Goldsmith Montefiore who passed away on June 10 2014. aged 85. Nigeria was opportuned to have the One Health input of Prof James Steele known as “Mr. Veterinary Public Health’and acclaimed Father of Veterinary Public Health'. "Father of One Medicine" and founder and advocate of One World. One Health. One Medicine, who was invited in 1978 as Visiting Professor and External Examiner to the Department of Veterinary Public Health and Preventive Medicine by the Founding Head of Department. Prof G.O. Esuruoso, one of the earliest pioneers of One Health in Nigeria. The author was also destined during his Sabbatical Leave to have an interactive interview session with Prof James Steele after attending the 20th Annual James Steele lecture/ 99th birthday Dinner of Professor James Steele 4th and 6th April 2012 at the Texas School of Public Health, Houston. Texas. USA. The interview session was facilitated by a long time American veterinary epidemiology colleague and professional friend. Dr. Peter Cowen, a University of Ibadan 1978 DVM graduate. This article is a tribute to the memory of the late Prof James Steele for his contribution to the history of One Health in Nigeria, and shares his (and others’) perspectives on challenges and factors to hasten One Health in Nigeria

Nanoelectromechanical resonators from high-T <sub>c</sub> superconducting crystals of Bi <sub>2</sub> Sr <sub>2</sub> Ca <sub>1</sub> Cu <sub>2</sub> O<IMG ALIGN=MIDDLE ALT=-8+δ
No full text In this report, we present nanoelectromechanical resonators fabricated with thin exfoliated crystals of a high-T c cuprate superconductor Bi 2 Sr 2 Ca 1 Cu 2 O. The mechanical readout is performed by capacitively coupling their motion to a coplanar waveguide microwave cavity fabricated with a superconducting alloy of molybdenum-rhenium. We demonstrate mechanical frequency tunability with external dc-bias voltage, and quality factors up to ∼36 600. Our spectroscopic and time-domain measurements show that mechanical dissipation in these systems is limited by the contact resistance arising from resistive outer layers. The temperature dependence of dissipation indicates the presence of tunneling states, further suggesting that their intrinsic performance could be as good as other two-dimensional atomic crystals such as graphene.
