Diana Weng Chen oral history interview and transcript
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of oral history interviews conducted by the Chao Center for Asian Studies at Rice University. This collection includes audio recordings and transcripts of interviews with Asian Americans native to or living in Houston.Diana Weng was born in Taiwan and moved to the San Francisco’s Castro District with her family when she was 5 years old. Her family owned a restaurant and she recalls many memories of working in the restaurant during her childhood and teenage years. Ms. Weng majored in English Literature at UC Berkeley and remembers being drawn to a specific theater class during her time, which would lead her to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. She talks about landing her first job as a dialogue coach and her interesting interview process with Jackie Chan, whom she would later work for through many movies. Ms. Weng also details the arduous process of being a dialogue coach and correcting the English of Mr. Chan through all his movies, starting with Rush Hour. She also describes working with Keanu Reeves, Chris Tucker, and other actors throughout her experiences with acting. Additionally, she mentions balancing her work and family life as a working mom and having her children with her on filming sets. Ms. Weng suggests for families to be supportive of whatever their children want to pursue in life as Asians are underrepresented in her field
Limitations of Push-out Test in Bond Strength Measurement
No full textIntroduction: The push-out test has been widely performed to measure the bond strength of intracanal materials in dentistry. However, it is difficult to compare equitably the bond strengths from different testing specimens. The aim of this study was to investigate how a specimen's geometric parameters and the elastic moduli of dentin and intracanal filling materials may affect the bond strength measurement. Methods: Finite element analysis was used to simulate a push-out test. A base model was established, and 3 parameters were modified: the diameter of the pin, the specimen's thickness, and the elastic modulus of the intracanal filler. The analytic stress results and the calculated bond strengths derived from the original formula for the push-out test were compared at the interfaces. Results: Specifically, the following observations were made: the interfacial stress distributions are mostly unaffected when the ratio of the pin diameter to the specimen's diameter is less than 0.85, and the ratio of the specimen's thickness to the specimen's diameter is greater than 0.6. Two correction factors were suggested for fillers with diverse elastic moduli with respect to the dentin modulus. Two modified formulas for the push-out bond strength test for the test specimens using different bonded composite materials were proposed. Conclusions: The results showed that geometric parameters and materials have certain effects on the push-out bond strength. A more rigorous standard for the push-out test can be established for future applications. (J Endod 2013;39:283 287
Free-convection condensation on single horizontal pin-fin tubes
No full textPhDNew experimental data are reported for free-convection condensation of ethylene
glycol and R-113 on three-dimensional pin-fin tubes. Effects of pin geometry and tube
thermal conductivity (for copper, brass and bronze giving a mean range of 400, 120 and
80 W/m K over the range of temperature of interest) were investigated. All tests were
performed at near atmospheric pressure with downward flowing vapour at low velocity.
Heat-transfer enhancement was found to be approximately twice the corresponding
active surface area of the tubes, i.e. the surface area of the parts of the tube and pin
surface not covered by condensate retained by surface tension. For ethylene glycol, the
best performing pin-fin tube gave a heat-transfer enhancement of 5.8, about 24 %
higher than the ‘equivalent’ two-dimensional integral-fin tube (i.e. with the same finroot
diameter, longitudinal fin spacing and thickness and fin height). For R-113, the
best enhancement was 5.9, about 10 % higher than the equivalent integral-fin tube.
For both fluids tested, vapour-side, heat-transfer enhancement was found to increase
with decreasing circumferential pin spacing and increasing pin height. Circumferential
pin thickness had little effect on heat-transfer enhancement. Effects of tube thermal
conductivity were found to be more significant for ethylene glycol than R-113.
Retention angle measurements were made under static conditions (without
condensation) and were found to be larger than for equivalent integral-fin tubes. An
expression for condensate retention angle on pin-fin tubes was proposed and found to
agree with the measured retention angles to ±15%.
A semi-empirical model for condensation heat transfer on horizontal pin-fin tubes has
been developed which accounts for the combined effect of gravity and surface tension.
The model predicts the majority of available data to ±20 %
