utep display screens made in china

Students from The University of Texas at El Paso have curated an exhibit of Asian artifacts that opened Wednesday, April 28, 2021, in UTEP’s Centennial Museum as an expression of solidarity with people of Asian descent in response to the numerous national incidents of hate crimes.

Art and clothing make up "Beyond the Borderland: An exploration of Chinese and Japanese Objects in El Paso," which opens April 28, 2021, in UTEP"s Centennial Museum and Chihuahuan Desert Gardens. The exhibit is meant to build stronger bonds with members of the Asian communities in the region. Photo: Courtesy

The students, who are part of the museum studies’ exhibit development and design lab, prepared the displays to enhance bonds with the Asian and Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities throughout El Paso and beyond. They chose the topic in late January 2021 because they were interested in the mostly unknown influence of the Chinese and Japanese communities in El Paso and were fascinated by the museum’s collection.

One organizer said that the goal of the exhibit is to provide Westerners an opportunity to re-evaluate their preconceived perceptions of these influential cultures and note their importance. The displays, which include decorative fans and ceremonial masks, focus on the beauty and craftsmanship of these cultural objects that were imported to El Paso or unearthed from an archaeological excavation in downtown El Paso.

“What started as an opportunity to display parts of our extensive collection that are rarely seen by visitors has become a timely and thought-provoking exhibit about how we see ourselves and others,” Carey-Whalen said.

UTEP’s W.M. Keck Center for 3-D Innovation – a state-of-the-art laboratory focusing on the advancement of 3-D printing, or additive manufacturing – has recently turned its attention to 3-D printed electronics for space.

UTEP hopes to improve the industry through innovations such as multi-material printing (most 3-D printers can only print one material at a time, either metal or plastic) that can print combined electronic and mechanical structures; new metal material options that can withstand higher temperatures; and new additive manufacturing processes that produce high-performance production parts.

By printing these high-value, customized products and creating the hybrid manufacturing technologies to carry them out, UTEP’s goal is to help bring manufacturing back to the United States from nations like China.

Ensure ADA compliance with the closed-captioning tool. Universal design is key for ADA. ALL students should be able to access the same materials and have equitable learning opportunities. The YuJa video management system automatically creates captions for videos—all you might have to do is correct a few voice recognition errors. If you need additional assistance with closed-captioning, the Center for Faculty Leadership and Development (CFLD) provides guidance and assistance for creating closed captions for videos created by faculty & staff at UTEP. This service assists in the provision of required ADA-compliant captioning.

By default, all recordings made in Zoom are automatically transferred to UTEP"s video management system, YuJa. The video will be available in YuJa within an hour after it is transferred, along with it"s closed-captions.

Karris Allen’s jumper with 25.9 seconds left erased WKU’s only deficit of the night, allowing the Lady Toppers to break a tie with UTEP in the Conference USA standings and earn the season sweep over the Miners.

The Lady Toppers rallied from 19 points down to win in El Paso when the teams met last month. On Thursday it was UTEP (19-9, 12-7) that tried to mount a fourth-quarter rally, but WKU was able to score the final four points to secure the win.

Acacia Hayes’ 3 to open the second pushed the WKU advantage back to nine, but UTEP used a 7-1 spurt to trim the deficit to 25-22. Teresa Faustino stemmed the tide with a 3 to make the score 28-22. It was WKU’s 243rd 3-pointer of the season, setting a program record for most made 3s in a season.

The Lady Toppers led 57-48 after a 3 from Meredith with 6:50 left, but WKU missed its next eight field goal attempts to open the door for a potential UTEP rally.

The Miners scored nine straight to tie it with 3:34 remaining. Allen broke the tie, splitting a pair of free throws with 2:10 left, but UTEP took the lead on two free throws by Jazion Jackson with 31.2 seconds left.

Jaylin Foster’s steal gave WKU the ball back, with Meredith splitting a pair of free throws to make it a two-point game. UTEP had a chance to tie, but missed the shot. Alexis Mead split a pair of free throws with 2.5 seconds left and UTEP’s halfcourt heave hit off the glass and bounced away as time expired.

Gregory made a pair of foul shots and Courtney Blakely converted a three-point play to knot it at 60 while UTEP missed its last two-shot attempts and turned it over twice to force overtime.

The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) is the educational center of a community uniquely situated at the U.S.-Mexico border, and services over 23,000 students annually. To celebrate its 100 years of service to the Paso del Norte region, the University transformed the heart of its campus from an automobile centric environment dominated by asphalt, into an inviting community landscape that reflects the beauty of the Chihuahuan desert by increasing the vegetative area of the site by 60 percent. UTEP’s Campus Transformation Project (CTP) strengthens the connection between the city, the campus, and the land by converting acres of sloping streets and parking into a beautiful, pedestrian-oriented, accessible green space that promotes outdoor learning and celebrates ephemeral stormwater. The core of the CTP includes Centennial Plaza and Centennial Green, richly detailed outdoor gathering spaces that feature a performance lawn and amphitheater. A diverse array of native plants and local stone create campus malls, courtyard, promontories and desert gardens that invite students and the community to embrace and enjoy nature. In July 2016, the CTP received SITES Silver, and became the first project certified under v2 of the SITES Rating System. The CTP is one of the first and largest green infrastructure projects in the El Paso region, and one of the few projects in the region that displays the diversity and beauty of low water use plants native to the Chihuahuan Desert. Sustainable landscape practices include vegetated arroyo and acequia bioswales that mimics the function of natural desert riparian corridors, and the replacement of asphalt with a diverse native plant palette including 571 trees, 1,831 shrubs and 4,089 perennials. The CTP also provides 641 quiet outdoor spaces for mental restoration, as well as 1,884 seats for social interaction where students, professors and staff can connect with peers and experience the benefits of nature. Through this project, UTEP is helping its community be more successful and deal with life challenges by providing a sustainable landscape that can improve cognitive function, reduce stress and offer opportunities for physical exercise.

BEIJING, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- China will become the world"s largest production base for display screens as early as 2019 as money flows into assembly lines, industrial associations have said.

Investment in assembly lines planned or under construction for producing display screens for TVs, computers, smartphones and other devices has reached 800 billion yuan (around 120 billion U.S. dollars).

In the first half of the year, the aggregate area of China"s display shipments stood at 57 million square meters, a third of the world"s total and second only to the ROK.

China"s display manufacturing has gained steam, with booming production and rising corporate profits. Domestic brands have also broken the dominance of imported high-end OLED panels.
