Raymond L. Wicks: Hall of Fame Inductee
No full textRaymond L. Wicks: Hall of Fame Inductee
There were many individuals who were instrumental in creating the glory years for Winona State University wrestling. But no one was any more instrumental than Raymond L. Wicks.Wicks was one of Winona State\u27s all-time leading wrestlers. His 72-18-1, .797 record is the University\u27s fourth best all-time, while his 29 wins in the 1967-68 season is tied for third for single-season victories. During his career, nearly one-third of his wins were recorded by a pin fall.Wicks\u27 success on the collegiate level carried over to his high school teaching and coaching career where he received many awards.During his teaching career Wicks began to develop a second career -- real estate. In 1982 Wicks retired from teaching and began full-time work in real estate. He worked for several brokers before starting his own real estate firm in 1992. He has also volunteered his time as a member of the Knights of Columbus, Junior Chamber of Commerce and has been an elected member of a school board in the South St. Paul, MN area.https://openriver.winona.edu/halloffameinductees/1081/thumbnail.jp

Design of Integrated Nanostructured Wicks for High-Performance Vapor Chambers
No full textThe performance of passive phase-change cooling devices, such as vapor chambers or heat pipes, may be significantly enhanced by exploiting the superior thermal properties of carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays. The potential for large reductions in overall package resistance with the use of high-conductivity wick materials enhanced with CNT nanostructures is investigated. While such nanostructured wicks feature very small pore sizes that support high capillary pressures, it is shown that the high fluid flow resistance through these dense arrays prevents their use as the lone fluid transport mechanism. It is proposed that evaporator surfaces comprised of nanostructured wicks fed by interspersed conventional wick materials (such as sintered powders) can provide the required permeability for fluid flow while simultaneously decreasing the effective evaporator thermal resistance. Optimization of wicks with integrated sintered and nanostructured areas requires a study of the trade-offs between the greater permeability of the sintered materials and the greater capillary pressure and thin-film evaporation area offered by the nanostructures. A numerical model is developed to estimate the thermal resistance of the evaporator region compared to that of a homogeneous sintered powder wick. The inputs needed for this model include the permeability and the capillary pressure in the two regions. A parametric study is conducted as a function of the ratio of conduction and evaporative resistances for the nanostructured and sintered regions. For a given heat input, the optimal liquid-feeding geometry that minimizes thermal resistance is obtained. In the best cases, the thermal resistance is reduced by a factor of thirteen through the use of the integrated nanostructured wicks compared to the resistance of a homogeneous sintered powder wick
Study of efflorescence produced on ceramic wicks by masonry mortars
No full textCeramic wicks (Efflorwicks) were partly embedded in cyclinders of masonry mortars of various compositions, and the hardened mortars were alternately wetted and dried, which produced various amounts of efflorescence on the wicks. Portland cement in mortars contributed significantly to efflorescence. The alkaline material of the cementing substance of the mortars appeared to be an important source of the efflorescence.Des \ue9l\ue9ments de c\ue9ramique (Efflorwicks) ont \ue9t\ue9 partiellement noy\ue9s dans des cylindres en mortier de maconnerie de diff\ue9rentes compositions. Les mortiers durcis ont \ue9t\ue9 alternativement tremp\ue9s et s\ue9ch\ue9s pour produire une efflorescence plus ou moins importante sur les c\ue9ramiques.

The Old Elamite Period
No full textThe history of Elam in the period between the end of the 3rd and the first centuries of the 2nd millennium BC is marked by a progressive growth of a powerful state in Western Iran controlled by the Shimashki and Sukkalmah dynasties. Its socio-political organization can be reconstructed only in general terms, since cuneiform texts coming from Susa in Khuzestan contain few indications of the kingdom's inner structures and since references to Elam in external sources pertained exclusively to its relationship with the Mesopotamian centres. Susa and Anshan became large towns with public and royal buildings, representing the main poles of an articulated regional framework, including Luristan, the Persian Gulf coast, the highlands of Fars and the Susiana plain. The large territorial extension, the abundance of raw materials and natural resources, the diversified pattern of settlement occupation and probably a hierarchical organization with strong kinship ties make Elam the most powerful reign of the Near East during the Middle Bronze Age, when the Amorite kings of Mesopotamia called the Sukkalmah 'father', attributing to the Elamite king a superior political rank, while they consider themselves peers
