UCT Physics - Aaron Klug SIR AARON KLUG. MSc student in Physics, University of Cape Town, 1946? 1948. Nobel Prize for Chemistry 1982. taken from the Nobel http://www.phy.uct.ac.za/courses/dept/klugabio.htm
Extractions: taken from the Nobel Prize website autobiography of Aaron Klug Microbe Hunters by Paul de Kruif, well known in its time, which influenced me to begin medicine at university as a way into microbiology. At the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, I took the pre-medical course and, in my second year, I took, among other subjects, biochemistry, or physiological chemistry as it was then called, which stood me in good stead in later years when I came to face biological material. However, I felt the lack of a deeper foundation, and moved to chemistry and this in turn led me to physics and mathematics. So finally I took a science degree. The Optical Principles of the Diffraction of X-rays - still a standard work. James wrote beautifully and fully and took great pains to make everything clear. After taking my Ph.D., I spent a year in the Colloid Science department in Cambridge, working with F.J.W. Roughton, who had asked Hartree for someone to help him tackle the problem of simultaneous diffusion and chemical reaction, such as occurs when oxygen enters a red blood cell. The methods I had developed for the problem in steel were applicable here, and I was glad to put them to use on an interesting new problem. The quantitative data came from experiments in which thin layers of blood were exposed to oxygen or carbon monoxide. In the course of my stay there, I also showed how one could analyse the experimental kinetic curves for the reaction of haemoglobin with carbon dioxide or oxygen by simulations in the computer, and so fit the rate constants.

Sir Aaron Klug's Coffee. sir aaron klug's Coffee. by John deBoer. There once was an old man who sat every day in the same seat of a small cafe, doing the New York Times Crossword Puzzle. My name is sir aaron klug.. Her http://www.individualfrog.com/siraaron.html
Extractions: There once was an old man who sat every day in the same seat of a small cafe, doing the New York Times Crossword Puzzle. He came in at different times but always within the hours of eleven in the morning and noon. His order was typically eggs, over medium, with cheese on them, hash browns on the side, but it was not unheard of for him to order something else, like the Jitterbug sandwich, or the Happy Waitress, which always elicited a wisecrack of some sort from the waitress, as is typical when ordering the Happy Waitress. Perhaps he ordered it to hear the wisecracks; on the other hand, he may have liked silly names for sandwiches. In any case, order what he may, he never failed to order coffee, which he drank black. One day in late 1989 he entered the cafe, which was called Sams Cafe, to find a teenage girl in his seat. He was surprised, as the cafe was not crowded, and the waitresses usually did not assign people to his seat unless there were no other seats to assign them to. He checked his watch and found it was 11:52, and he allowed himself a moments annoyance at coming so late and therefore losing his seat. But he did not complain and started towards another table, nearby. No, come sit here, said the girl. She was dressed very shabbily, in a grubby blue sweatshirt which hung from her small frame and a fraying skirt which reached down past her knees. I was hoping to talk to you.

Extractions: 'Sir Aaron Klug opens the new CT scanners On 25 September, Nobel Prize Winner Sir Aaron Klug officially opened two new computed tomography (CT) scanners in the Radiology Department at Addenbrookes. One of the scanners is brand new to the Trust and one is a replacement, and their arrival on site has meant that Addenbrookes is now home to a three-scanner CT suite a real rarity for a UK trust. The two new CT scanners are the most modern, top-of-the-range machines available from Siemens, Addenbrookes German manufacturing colleagues. One of the machines is so high-tech that it can acquire 16 slices simultaneously, meaning that better quality images can be obtained even more quickly, and is one of the first to be installed at a clinical (rather than research) site anywhere in the world. 'Sir Aaron Klug talks to Gunter Dombrow of Siemens plc about the new CT scanners' The initial results from the scanners are very impressive. The very high resolution they are able to deliver means that 3D virtual images can be produced. CT scanners do deliver a relatively large radiation dose, however, and this means that such treatment will only be appropriate for certain patients. Speaking about the new scanners, Professor Adrian Dixon, Clinical Director of Radiology at Addenbrookes said: "These images will make clinical diagnosis easier for the doctors in the department, which will, in turn, help them to deliver better patient care and treatment. Patients will also benefit from faster examinations and shorter waiting times, as there will be more scanners available on site." He continued "They will provide the Radiology Directorate at Addenbrookes with the CT equipment it needs to continue its pioneering work in making crucial diagnoses and performing a wide range of treatments."
