Abstract: Measured data taken from Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) are in the form of Cartesian coordinates of points from a part surface. In order to interpret the data, a numerical analysis must ...

Abstract: Modern inspection systems such as coordinate measurement machines generate discrete three dimensional coordinates representing points from the surface of a manufactured part. These coordinates must ...

Abstract: In densely populated coastal cities in Asia, wastewater outfalls are often located not far from sensitive areas such as beaches or shellfisheries. The impact and risk assessment of effluent discharges poses particular ...

Abstract: A mixed segment slack tide oxygen balance model is used to compute BOD/DO concentrations in a heavily polluted tidal estuary. The usual Streeter-Phelps assumptions are adopted for aerobic conditions, while the rate of ...

Abstract: This paper examines the success factors for the implementation of ISO9000 in the Hong Kong construction industry. The critical factors for construction contractors to successfully implement ISO9000 were identified. An ...

Abstract: The mixing of a subsonic confined air jet with a coaxial secondary air stream is investigated experimentally. This work differs from previous studies in that emphasis is placed on the effects ...

Abstract: Densification behavior of ceramic powder under cold compaction was investigated. Experimental data were obtained for zirconia powder under triaxial compression with various loading conditions. For ...

Abstract: A concentrated 10% chlorine solution (in sodium hypochlorite) with a specific gravity of 1.2 is used for the disinfection of treated primary effluent in the Stonecutters Island Sewage Treatment Works (SCISTW) in Hong Kong. ...
