The Mangrove ecosystem of Deep Bay and the Mai Po marshes, Hong Kong : proceedings of the International Workshop on the Mangrove Ecosystem of Deep Bay and Mai Po Marshes, Hong Kong, 3-20 September 1993
No full textThis volume comprises original research papers reporting findings collected by participants of the International Workshop on the Mangrove Ecosystem of Deep Bay and the Mai Po Marshes, jointly organized by the University of Hong Kong and World Wide Fund for Nature Hong Kong and held at the Mai Po Marshes in September 1993. The papers cover a wide range of topics relevant to the future conservation and management of the threatened ecosystem, ranging from the flora and fauna of the mangrove forests and inner Deep Bay to pollution levels in the biotapublished_or_final_versionPreface / Shing-yip Lee pviiSect.I Flora and fauna p1Sect.II|tEcology and pollution p135The species composition of penaeid prawns in the north- western waters of Hong Kong / S.F.

Vibrationally Excited Level Identification and FIR Laser Line Prediction by the "Ritz" and "LaseRitz" Programs

Moruzzi and Li-Hong Xu, Ohio State University 49th International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy, TD04, p. 122 (1994).Author Institution: Università di Pisa, Piazza Torricelli 2, I-56100 Pisa, Italy; National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 U.S.A.Following last year's Columbus , we have continued our work on an interactive computer program for automating assignment of the Fourier-Transform methanol spectrum. Two new features have been developed. (1) A new routine has been incorporated in the Ritz program for the identification of small-amplitude vibrationally excited levels starting from the known energies of the ground-vibrational levels. We have been testing this routine in the region for . (2)A new LaseRitz program has been written for predicting FIR laser lines using known energies of the ground and the vibrationally excited levels. The simplified float chart of the interactive program is presented below

Racial Equality and the Law: Creating an Effective Statute and Enforcement Model for Hong Kong
Get PDFThe Hong Kong government has commenced a public consultation exercise on a bill to prohibit racial discrimination, which is expected to be introduced in the Legislative Council in early 2005. The government has proposed to model the bill on the existing Sex Discrimination Ordinance (SDO) and the Disability Discrimination Ordinance (DDO). While there are advantages to adopting a familiar format, the author argues that the SDO and DDO can be improved upon, in particular, that a more flexible definition of indirect discrimination should be adopted and that special provisions be drafted to address discrimination against new immigrants from mainland China. The author takes the view that this is an opportune time to strengthen the enforcement model for all of Hong Kong's anti-discrimination laws. The author proposes that officers at the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) be empowered to take a more proactive approach and that a specialist equal opportunities tribunal should be established outside the auspices of the EOC.published_or_final_versio
The Failure of the Hong Kong Court of Appeal to Recognise and Remedy Disability Discrimination
Get PDFThis article critiques the recent decision of the Hong Kong Court of Appeal in Ma Bik Yung v Ko Chuen, the first case to be tried under Hong Kong's Disability Discrimination Ordinance. The Court of Appeal upheld the District Court's finding of disability harassment but granted the appeal from the finding of disability discrimination. The author argues that the Court erred, by introducing a hypothetical factual scenario that was inconsistent with the District Court's findings of fact and by failing to apply s3 of the Ordinance. The article also criticises the Court's holding that an 'unwilling' apology is outside the scope of remedies allowed by the Ordinance. In fact, similar statutory language is regularly used in Australia as the basis for orders to apologise. The author concludes by considering the potential conflict between the right to free expression and court-ordered apologies and suggests two possible approaches to the issue.published_or_final_versio
