Actuarial assessment of damages in personal injury litigation in Hong Kong: Chan Pui Ki (an infant) v. Leung On
No full textCase note: Actuarial assessment of damages in personal injury litigation in Hong Kong: Chan Pui Ki (an infant) v Leung On. When assessing future pecuniary loss in personal injury litigation, courts often use the multiplicand/multiplier approach. The objective is to calculate a lump sum amount to compensate the plaintiff for future loss of earnings and to cover a stream of future expenses.published_or_final_versio
High resolution electronic spectroscopy of tungsten sulphide (WS)
No full textM.Phil.本論文討論一硫化鎢分子（WS）的高分辨電子光譜研究。通過鐳射消融和超聲射流技術，我們成功產生了WS目標分子，並首次採集了WS在11300 cm-1 – 13800 cm-1範圍內的高分辨鐳射誘導螢光光譜。經仔細分析，光譜是來自四個同位素分子186WS，184WS，183WS和182WS的電子躍遷，當中包括十五個不同的振動帶。大部份的振動帶都顯示清析的轉動結構。根據這些譜線的躍遷頻率，我們推導出相關電子態的高精度光譜常數。利用這些常數，我們分析了WS的相應電子態的一些結構特性。This thesis reports the high resolution studies of electronic transitions of WS generated using laser ablation technique, followed by free jet expansion. The electronic transitions of WS in the gas phase were observed for the first time using high resolution laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy in the 11300-13800 cm-1 region. Fifteen vibronic bands have been recorded and analyzed allowing us to determine the ground state to be the Ω = 0 spin-component of a 3Σ state. Transitions due to four isotopic species, 186WS, 184WS, 183WS and 182WS, were identified under high resolution. Accurate molecular constants for the vibronic levels involved were obtained. The assignments of the electronic states will be discussedTsang, Ling Fung.Thesis M.Phil.

Can models of author intention support quality assessment of content?
No full textAcademics seek to find, understand and critically review the work of other researchers through published scientific articles. In recent years, the volume of available information has significantly increased, partly due to technological advancements and partly due to pressures on academics to 'publish or perish'. This amount of papers presents a challenge not only for the peer-review process but also for readers, particularly inexperienced readers, to find publications of high quality. Whilst one might rely on citation or journal rankings to help guide this decision, this approach may not be completely reliable due to biased peer-review processes and the fact that the citation count of an article does not per se indicate its quality. Here, we analyse how expected author intentions in a Related Work section can be used to indicate its quality. We show that author intentions can predict the quality with reasonable accuracy and propose that similar approaches could be used in other sections to provide an overall picture of quality. This approach could be useful in supporting peer-review processes and for a reader in prioritising articles to read. © 2019 CEUR-WS. All rights reserved.Peer reviewe

Service-oriented models for audiovisual content storage
No full textWhat are the important topics to understand if involved with storage services to hold digital audiovisual content? This report takes a look at how content is created and moves into and out of storage; the storage service value networks and architectures found now and expected in the future; what sort of data transfer is expected to and from an audiovisual archive; what transfer protocols to use; and a summary of security and interface issues
