Cynopterus sphinx Vahl 1797
No full textCynopterus sphinx Vahl, 1797 Short-nosed fruit bat New record Mandalay Division: Ye-nge Spring For- estry Guesthouse. Previous records from Myanmar Shan and Rakhine States, and Sagaing, Mandalay and Tanintharyi Divisions (Pearch et al., 2003); Mon State: Kyaik- Kha-Mi (HZM; and J. P. P. Bates et al., unpubl. data). Comments Five female specimens were captured at a fruiting fig tree (Ficus oppositifolia); none is available for study at the Harrison Institute. The variation in forearm length (63.5–76.9 mm) and body mass (22–56 g) suggests that C. brachyotis (Muller, 1838) may also be present in the sample; this lat- ter taxon is currently only recorded with certainty from Rakhine State. For further details of the systematics of Cynopterus in Myanmar see Pearch et al. (2003).Published as part of Struebig, Matthew J., Rossiter, Stephen J., Bates, Paul J.

Evaluation of low-power vision platform for robotic industrial application
No full textCracking in plane turbine blades is the significant defect for the airplanes. Cracking usually occurs because of high pressure and temperature during manufacturing processes. In this project, automatic crack inspection system will be developed and implemented on real-time system. Inspection system is implemented on Jetson Tk1 embedded hardware and Robot Operating System (ROS). Many researched methods will be compared and inspection algorithm is developed based on the comparison results. Inspection algorithm includes a sequence of image processing methods and machine learning classifier to correctly output the defect location. For the final step, defects location coordinates will then return to ABB Industrial Robot for further executions and corrections. Accuracy rate of 89% was achieved at the final classification stage of the system with the average processing time less than 1 second.Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Science
New Phoenix Museum of Chinese Heritage and Cultural Center
No full textabstract: Major cities in the US such as Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago have a rich cultural hub within the realm of central business district known as the Chinatown where large Chinese communities reside. These districts are usually located in or around the neighborhoods where the first Chinese immigrants settled. Though Phoenix has had a Chinese community since the mid-nineteenth century, the historic and contemporary community is represented by a commercial retail center which is distant from the sites where the initial immigrants resided. Using a both textual and mapping research I explored the history of the development of Phoenix and contributions which Chinese culture made to the process. In the course of my research I learned that city of Phoenix not only had one Chinatown but two Chinatowns. My project examines the influence of Chinese culture on the urban development of Phoenix throughout history and contemporary era and reintroduces the presence of this community within the urban context of Phoenix through the creation of a cultural center. Political unrest in the Guangdong region in Southern China during the 1870s combined with both the California Gold Rush (1848 - 1850 and the construction of transcontinental railroad (1864 - 1869) led to the migration of Chinese citizens to the United States. Many of these immigrants migrated to the Valley after working at the transcontinental railroad construction near the Salt River Valley area. The first Chinese immigrants, three men and two women arrived in Phoenix I n 1872. The community remained rather small until 1879 when the transcontinental railroad construction along Salt River valley stopped due to extreme summer weather which led to the establishment of the First Chinatown in 1889. According to the old insurance Sanborn map, the first Chinatown in Phoenix was established along first and Adam street with diversified businesses such as laundries groceries, and restaurants. The Chinese community in the city was pretty small compared to other ethnic group settlements. Racial segregation was one of the major issues that caused the shift of First Chinatown from its original location to first and Madison Street and the Second Chinatown emerged in 1901. Post WWII, suburban sprawl and development of model single family detached homes were some of the reasons that led to disappearance of Chinatown in downtown Phoenix. In order to deliver this information and educate the public about the existence of Chinatown and the culture, I developed the concept of merging history and the 21st Century ideals by creating a place where Chinese culture is being reintroduced to Phoenix community. My design proposal for this issue is to construct a museum that is mainly focused upon historical Chinese Immigration to Phoenix and a cultural center that promotes Chinese culture, art, literature, merchandise, and cuisine in a way to reconnect mainland China and the city of Phoenix in 21st Century

Comparative Investigation of Combined Metabolomics-Flavoromics during the Ripening of Mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. ‘Nam Dok Mai Si Thong’ and ‘Nam Dok Mai No. 4’
No full textA metabolomics-flavoromics approach was conducted to assess the micromolecules of ‘Nam Dok Mai Si Thong’ and ‘Nam Dok Mai No. 4’ mango cultivars from two seasons. During ripening, FAMEs, FFAs, fatty alcohols, sterols, and organic acids were dominant at 0–2 days, whereas amino acids, sugars, and volatile organic compounds, including esters, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, and terpenes, were at higher levels at 4–8 days. Nine metabolites (palmitic/linoleic/linolenic/citric/malic acids, β-sitosterol, sucrose, glycine, and leucine) and two volatile organic compounds (ethyl octanoate/decanoate) were related to ripening-associated changes within eight days. During ripening, sucrose at 6–8 days, citric/malic acid at 0–2 days, glycine and leucine at 4 days, and ethyl octanoate and ethyl decanoate at 8 days could be used as quality biomarkers for Nam Dok Mai Si Thong; palmitic/linoleic/linolenic acids at 0 days and β-sitosterol at 0–4 days could be used as quality biomarkers for Nam Dok Mai No. 4
