Third Year Chinese Conversation (CHIN 011A) Syllabus

Third Year Chinese Conversation course description: This course meets once a week for 75 minutes and concentrates on the further development of skills in speaking and listening through multimedia materials (including selected movies and clips). Students are required to read chosen texts (including Internet materials and short stories) and prepare assignments for the purpose of generating discussion in class. Moreover, students will write out skits or reports for oral presentation in Chinese before they present them in class. The class is conducted entirely in Chinese

What is a Viola?

A viola is a string instrument similar to a violin but larger in size, producing a deeper sound to compliment the arrangement. Two curled holes, allowing some light inside the hallowed body, just delicate enough to float, perched under the chin of its commander. [excerpt

Testing of Automatic Inflatable Life Jacket in Open Jet Facility Phase II

An indigenous automatic inflatable life jacket was tested in the open jet facility to observe the effect of wind blast in the direction from toe to chin at a speed of about 170 knots. The jacket withstood the aerodynamic loads and no damage was observed during the test

Manometric Measures Of Head Rotation And Chin Tuck In Healthy Participants

The primary aim of this study was to investigate the immediate effects of partial versus complete head rotation and chin tuck on pharyngeal swallowing pressures and durations in the pharynx and UES of normal, healthy adults. Ten individuals (3 men and 7 women; age range 54–76 years) served as participants. Solid-state intraluminal manometry was performed with the participants in the upright position while performing swallows with the head in the normal position, head rotated (partial and complete), chin tucked, and chin down. A cervical range of motion (CROM) inclinometer was used to accurately measure the degree of head rotation and chin tuck. The CROM inclinometer has not been used before so this is the first study to our knowledge to quantify degree of head rotation and chin tuck. Manometric data derived from these healthy participants indicate both partial and complete head rotations can increase the duration of UES relaxation and decrease UES residual pressure. Chin tuck may be effective in increasing durations in the upper pharynx. Partial chin tuck (chin down) decreases UES residual pressure. Complete head rotation and chin tuck provide more overall benefit than partial maneuvers. However, for patients with limited head and neck mobility, partial posture changes impact the pharynx in similar ways and may provide clinically meaningful benefits. Additional research on patient populations is warranted

Pattern Research Project: An Investigation of The Pattern And Printing Process - Asanoha

2017 Pattern Research Project Alyssa Chin - Asanoha The Pattern Research Project involves research and analysis of contemporary patterns found in the textiles and wallcoverings of the built interior environment. Patterns use motif, repetition, color, geometry, craft, technology, and space to communicate place, time, and concept. Through this research and analysis, built environments - their designers, occupants, construction, and context - can be better understood. Alyssa Chin, VCU Interior Design BFA 2020, selected the Asanoha pattern for the 2017 Pattern Research Project. The text below is excerpted from the student’s work: “Asanoha is a traditional pattern of Japan and its roots span back centuries, making it difficult to pinpoint a specific date or period. Its origins are most likely rooted in rural villages where farmers and peasants in the countryside of Japan would practice sashiko, a simplified sewing method that resembles embroidery, that allowed them to piece together various fabrics to create new clothing, and in turn, creating pattern motifs. “https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/prp/1002/thumbnail.jp
