    This recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Cultures of Energy Podcast is now on iTunes! Stitcher soon! We celebrate Anna Tsing, Professor of Anthropology at the University of California Santa Cruz, one of the world’s greatest analysts of globalization and the environment and the author (most recently) of The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins. Then (6:16) Cymene and Anna talk about feminist legacies, more-than-human anthropology, capitalist ruins and how to think with weeds and mushrooms

    Using optical fibre sensors for structural health monitoring of Tsing Ma Bridge

    No full text
    Optical fibre sensors have been extensively employed as real-time damage detection tools in advanced aircraft and space vehicles. However, the practical applications of this kind of sensors to real civil engineering structures have not been widely adopted. A structural health monitoring system - Wind and Structural Health Monitoring System (WASHMS) for the Tsing Ma Bridge has been operated since the bridge commissioning in May 1997. This paper presents a study using fiber Bragg grating sensors to measure strain responses of the Tsing Ma Bridge and compare the results with those obtained from W ASHMS using traditional resistive strain gauges. The measurement results using FBG sensors were in excellent agreement with those acquired by WASHMS

    STOCHASTIC REGRESSION-MODEL WITH HETEROSCEDASTIC DISTURBANCE

    No full text
    [[abstract]]This paper discusses some properties of stochastic regression model with continuous form of heteroscedastic disturbance. The strong consistency and asymptotic normality of a generalized weighted least squares estimate will be investigated under certain conditions on the stochastic regressors and errors. More, the linear hypothesis testing problem also be discussed and an example to be demonstrated to reestablish the results of Cheng and Chang (1990, Tech. Report, National Tsing Hua University).[[fileno]]2010414010002[[department]]統計

    This interview was conducted by CBI for CS&E in conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of the University of Minnesota Computer Science Department (now Computer Science and Engineering, CS&E). Professor David Hung-Chang Du begins by discussing his education at National Tsing-Hua University in Taiwan and then his doctoral work and Computer Center work at the University of Washington in Computer Science. The bulk of the interview is his professional career at the University of Minnesota. He discusses his wide-ranging computer science research in integrated circuits (VLSI), disk drives/storage, artificial intelligence, computer networking, security and privacy, and other areas. This includes his work with IBM Rochester, Seagate, Unisys and other companies, and he emphasizes the importance of working with more senior managers at companies so university and company interests can be aligned and can have local buy-in at the company, that resources will come if that there. He relates his leadership with the UMN-led Center for Research and Intelligent Storage: a multi-university partnership with industry supported by National Science Foundation.Du, David Hung-Chang.
