Oral History of Hung Luu
No full textAn oral history with Hung Quoc Luu, born in 1959 in Phan Thiết, Vietnam. This interview focuses on Hung’s childhood and young adult experiences in Vietnam during the Vietnam War as well as his adjustment to life in America after the war. He discusses his identity in America as a Vietnamese person and the differences between the American and Vietnamese culture. Hung left Vietnam by boat in 1979, ending up in refugee camps in Hong Kong before being sponsored to the United States the following year. He initially resettled in Hammond, Indiana but moved to Southern California shortly after. He earned his certification in Electronics – Assembly and Wiring in 1982 at Pasadena City College.

Oral History of Thieu Khac Luu
No full textAn oral history with Thieu Khac Luu who was born in 1954 in Quang Ngai, Vietnam. He was a front-line soldier for the South Vietnamese army and served his country from 1972-1975. After the South Vietnamese Army lost to the North, he was imprisoned for almost 5 years in a re-education camp and was released in 1980. He describes his neighborhood growing up and his experiences in the re-education camp. He explains how he, his wife and two sons immigrated to America through the Humanitarian Operation enacted by the Unites States. After coming to the United States, he had mixed feelings of fear of the new life and excitement of what was to come.Recorded Digitall

Oral History of Alex Luu
No full textAn oral history with Alex Luu, born in 1966 in Saigon, Vietnam. He was eight years old during the Fall of Saigon and was among the first wave of refugees to leave the country. After some initial challenges, he and his family secured a sponsor and gradually managed to settle into American society in California. He attended school in the US since 4th grade and went on to attend UCLA. Alex is a critically acclaimed performance artist, teacher, and filmmaker. He is a resident teaching artist with the LA Arts Commission, Ford Theatre Foundation, and East West Players. He has been performing his autobiographical performance pieces and one-man show "Three Lives" since 1989 and teaching/facilitating his autobiographical writing/storytelling/performing workshop MY OWN STORY (MOS) since 1997, respectively. He has been artist-in-residence at theaters/arts organizations and campuses nationally, most notably for Boston Center for the Arts (2001, 2003), Berklee College of Music (2008, 2009), Boston's Mayor Office of Arts & Tourism (2006). He is also a seasonal guest artist lecturer at UC Davis since 2009.Recorded Digitall

Among others, CONWIP and DBR methods are widely used in improving production process efficiency. In this study, we have developed a simulation model for a real button factory production system. We have tried to improve the efficiency of the production process by implementing these two approaches to our model. According to our results, both CONWIP and DBR production approaches were found to have equivalently better results in minimizing the waiting time of the bottleneck process. By applying either of the two production systems, efficiency of the real production process can be significantly improved as the simulated model result demonstrates.Maste
Development and optimisation of a duplex real-time reverse transcription quantitative PCR assay targeting the VP7 and NS2 genes of African horse sickness virus
No full textNucleotide sequences of 52 South African isolates of African horse sickness virus (AHSV) collected during 2004–2005 and including viruses of all nine AHSV serotypes, were used to design and develop a duplex real-time reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) assay targeting the VP7 (S8) and NS2 (S9) genes of AHSV. The assay was optimized for detection of AHSV in fresh and frozen blood of naturally infected horses. Assay performance was enhanced using random hexamers rather than gene-specific primers for RT, and with denaturation of double-stranded RNA in the presence of random hexamers. The assay was efficient with a linear range of at least five orders of magnitude. The analytical sensitivity of the assay was 132 copies of the target genes (4125 copies per ml of blood), and the assay was at least 10-fold more sensitive than virus isolation on BHK-21 cells. The assay was also highly specific because it did not detect related orbiviruses, such as bluetongue and equine encephalosis viruses.ID: S0166093410000893; M3: Article; Accession Number: S0166093410000893; Author: M.
