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.Andy Lin was born in Kaoshiung City, Taiwan in 1984. He started playing music at a young age, picking up many instruments throughout his childhood. He moved to the United States to continue his music education at 13 years old and from there started to focus on viola under his mentor Donald McGinnis. Lin continued his education at Juilliard and SUNY Stony Brook and has built his career playing both viola and erhu. Currently, Lin both teaches and performs. In 2010, he started the New Asia Chamber Music Society to give Asian artists a platform and present a blend of Western Classical music and Asian music. Lin was part of the Amphion String Quartet for several years and is currently part of the Taiwanese Junior Chamber of Commerce. In the interview, Lin also discusses his ideas regarding the future blending of Western and Chinese music

20 x 20 : Twenty Years of Conundrum Press
No full text"To celebrate twenty years in operation he [Andy Brown] asked one author or artist for each year of the press who had a book out that year to contribute something new, something that represented Conundrum. For some it would have been the first book he or she had ever made. So in the end twenty Conundrumites represent twenty years, hence 20×20. There will be digging deep into the archives, there will be memoirs, there will be comics, drawings, and photographs. There will be laughter and tears of joy." -- Publisher's website

Feature group optimization for machinery fault diagnosis based on fuzzy measures
No full textWith the development of modern multi-sensor based data acquisition technology often used with advanced signal processing techniques, more and more features are being extracted for the purposes of fault diagnostics and prognostics of machinery integrity. Applying multiple features can enhance the condition monitoring capability and improve the fault diagnosis accuracy. However, an excessive number of features also increases the complexity of the data analysis task and often increases the time associated with the analysis process. A method of bringing some efficiency into this process is to choose the most sensitive feature subset instead. Fuzzy measures are helpful in this regard and have the ability to represent the importance and interactions among different criteria. Based on fuzzy measure theory, a feature selection approach for machinery fault diagnosis is presented in this paper. A heuristic least mean square algorithm is adopted to identify the fuzzy measures using training data set. Shapley values with respect to the fuzzy measures are applied as importance indexes to help choose the most sensitive features from a set of features. Interaction indexes with respect to the fuzzy measures are then employed to remove the redundant features. Vibration signals from a rolling element bearing test rig are used to validate the method. The results show that the proposed feature selection approach based on fuzzy measures is effective for fault diagnosis
