This volume is dedicated to my parents, Lois Elizabeth Krutsch Chupp and John Paul Chupp, now both deceased. My mother was the first in her family of immigrants from Russia to attend college, and while she was a mathematics student at Purdue University, she had the good fortune to meet Dr. Lillian Gilbreth. My father came from a humble Swiss Amish farming stock, but his father had advanced himself by earning a doctorate at Cornell University and was then a professor there for many years. My father, a PhD in chemistry, was proud when I earned my doctorate, making three generations of PhDs. My parents’ examples and encouragement facilitated my career in engineering academia, and I am grateful to them for that, as well as for so much more.
