    No full text
    An oral history with Mr. Hugo Chi-Hung Van, a devoted father of three and a retired pressman. This interview sought to focus in on his experience as a Vietnamese refugee who walked on foot through multiple countries from his native Vietnam, his journey going in and out of a couple refugee camps throughout Southeast Asia shortly after the Fall of Saigon in 1975, and life in the United States as a Vietnamese-Chinese American. He enjoys golf and spending time with his three children.Recorded Digitall

    Writing a Wikipedia Article on Cultural Competence in Health Care

    No full text
    This article describes how librarians created a Wikipedia article on cultural competence in health care to support the medical school’s curriculum. Wikipedia, often considered not as reliable as scholarly articles, continues to be popular. Rutgers librarians conducted a Wikipedia project to improve its content to benefit students. The importance of cultural competency in health care is widely recognized due to increasingly diverse patient populations. Medical schools integrate cultural competency in curricula to train students to be culturally competent. Therefore, this topic was chosen for the Wikipedia Project. It is hoped that health sciences librarians and educators will benefit from their experience

    A physics-based simulation approach for cooperative erection activities

    No full text
    Cooperative erection activities are critical to projects which involve the erection of heavy loads or theinstallation of special equipment. Detailed simulation on computer prior to construction can identifyconstructability problems, and subsequently avoided during actual erections. This paper describes anintegrated approach for simulating the detailed motions of cranes. This research develops a physics-basedmodel that follows the principle of closed-form forward kinematics and constraint-based dynamics topresent the dual-crane mechanism mathematically — a non-trivial task. This model can be used to analyzethe inputs from the users (i.e. virtual crane operators) and simultaneously compute the cables sway andreaction of collisions. We also implemented the model on computer and developed a simulation system,Erection Director, to render realistic cooperative erection activities. A demonstration of simulating two-cranelift has been built and three performance tests including a small building (840 elements), a medium building(1937 elements) and a large building (2682 elements) validate the feasibility of the proposed approach. Thetest results indicate that Erection Director can support real-time and physics-based visualization ofcooperative erections

    This dataset supports the publication: Robust Optical Picometrology Through Data Diversity by Cheng-Hung Chi, Eric Plum, Nikolay I. Zheludev, and Kevin F. MacDonald in JOURNAL: Optical Materials Express The file contains data for optically measured vs. actual displacement values and corresponding std. dev. values (exemplified in Figs. 3a-c and 4a-c, from which Figs. 3d-e, 4d-e, 5, and S2 are derived). [Figures 1, 2, and S1 are schematic diagrams] The project was sponsored by: Next Generation Metrology Driven by Nanophotonics EPSRC EP/T02643X/1 Dataset available under a CC BY 4.0 licence </span
