COMING UP
"Live-Dance-Paint" Exhibit Showing at the Library Art Gallery
The University Library is hosting the exhibit “Live-Dance-Paint,” featuring artwork by Austrian Romani (Gypsy) artist Ceija Stojka. She was born in 1933 into a traveling Lovara clan in Austria and received little education. Stojka’s paintings depict her life as a traveling Romani woman before and after World War II, the trauma she and other Roma experienced in the Nazi concentration camps of Auschwitz, Ravensbrück, and Bergen-Belsen, and the hope she has for future generations to overcome oppression.
“Live-Dance-Paint” is the first showing of Stojka’s work in the United States and is being shown in three different locations: Pacific University in Oregon, West Branch Gallery in Stowe,Vermont, and Sonoma State. The exhibit is on view in the University Library Art Gallery (2nd floor of Library) until Fri., October 30. For more information, visit the Library Art Gallery website.
Engineering Science Lecture Series Kicks Off with "Modern Methods for Testing RF Components"
On Thursday, Sept. 3, Dr. Joel Dunsmore, Agilent Technologies R&D Fellow (left), leads the first Engineering Science lecture of the semester, in his discussion titled, "Modern Methods for Testing RF Components." In the past, testing of RF
components required a variety of stand-alone
instruments making independent measurements.
Now, state-of-the-art equipment contains in a
single instrument the functions from an entire
test rack. This presentation will discuss the
capabilities of such systems, along with the
trade-offs of cost and complexity, and including
the areas where synergy between measurements
improves the overall process.
Dunsmore has worked for Agilent
Technologies (formerly Hewlett-Packard) at the
Sonoma County site since he graduated from
Oregon State University in 1983. He has received 22
patents related to his work with nonlinear
tests, has published
numerous articles on measurement technology,
and has done consulting for measurement
applications. His lecture begins at 4:30 p.m. in Salazar 2009A. A reception, beginning at 4 p.m., precedes the lecture. For more information, visit the Engineering Science Lecture Series webpage.
