Field of Eames
Get PDFThere are few people who have had greater impact on the way we live than Charles and Ray Eames. Their chairs and houses did for furniture and architecture what Steve Jobs did for the computers. The first exhibition of their life and work took place this autumn at the HKDI and it has helped to spark a global reappraisal of the couple\u27s contribution to modern design
Matrix of delights
Get PDFUsing skills from the 21st century scholars are putting digital techniques to work in an effort to preserve the endangered artefacts of China\u27s Dunhuang region, where the Mogao caverns represent one of the world\u27s most important repositories of ancient art. As Daisy Zhong reports, part of their solution has been to digitally recreate the caves in Hong Kong
Moveable feasts 舌尖上的地圖
Get PDFInternational travellers are increasingly keen to understand the places they visit, and with the need to eat being universal -- and delicious food relished by people everywhere -- gastronomic tourism is taking the world by storm. It\u27s a boom that the hospitality industry must embrace.
國際旅客愈來愈渴望了解自己造訪的旅遊地點，由於每個人都需要食物，而且任何人都喜歡可口美食，因此美食旅遊的潮流正席捲全球。這是餐飲及酒店業必須掌握的趨勢

Galaxy = 銀河體驗
No full textThe newly-developed AR application called “Galaxy” integrates technology into our home and education. After installing the application on the tablet or smartphone, users can start playing the game by targeting a spherical lamp printed with various patterns on the surface. Fascinating yet life-like planets of the Solar System will rise before your eyes on the screen, along with relevant information about these planets
The shoulder region: anatomy, assessment and injuries

The Routledge Handbook of Sports Therapy, Injury Assessment and Rehabilitation is a comprehensive and authoritative reference for those studying or working in the specialist field of sports injury etiology, assessment and rehabilitation
Eczema susceptibility and composition of faecal microbiota at 4 weeks of age: a pilot study in Chinese infants
No full textEarly-life microbial exposure plays an important role in the development of immune system whereby reducing the likelihood of allergy. Several studies investigated alterations in the relative abundance of bacterial species in gut microbiota. Escherichia coli were more abundant in infants who developed atopic eczema than healthy infants.(1) Reduced abundance of Bifidobacterium has also been reported in allergic patients compared to controls
Fabrication of WS2/GaN p-n junction by wafer-scale WS2 thin film transfer
No full textHigh quality wafer-scale free-standing WS2 grown by van der Waals rheotaxy (vdWR) using Ni as a texture promoting layer is reported. The microstructure of vdWR grown WS2 was significantly modified from mixture of crystallites with their c-axes both parallel to (type I) and perpendicular to (type II) the substrate to large type II crystallites. Wafer-scale transfer of vdWR grown WS2 onto different substrates by an etching-free technique was demonstrated for the first time that utilized the hydrophobic property of WS2 and hydrophilic property of sapphire. Our results show that vdWR is a reliable technique to obtain type-II textured crystallites in WS2, which is the key factor for the wafer-scale etching-free transfer. The transferred films were found to be free of observable wrinkles, cracks, or polymer residues. High quality p-n junctions fabricated by room-temperature transfer of the p-type WS2 onto an n-type GaN was demonstrated with a small leakage current density of 29.6 μA/cm2 at −1 V which shows superior performances compared to the directly grown WS2/GaN heterojunctions
