Professor Roland T Chin Vice-President for Research and Development ANNUAL REPORT ON RESEARCH ACTIVITIES 2001-02 to RESEARCH GRANTS COUNCIL RGC REPORT 1: OVERVIEW 1. YEAR IN REVIEW HKUST celebrated its tenth anniversary in October 2001. The University is entering its second decade with a firm foundation of research infrastructure and accomplishments and with a faculty that has established a reputation for excellence. HKUST is now firmly on the global map of research universities. At the same time, the University is building collaborative linkages with business and industry to make, as its ordinance requires, a substantial contribution to the economic and social development of Hong Kong and the region. Scholarship, research and its development and application are central to the mission of HKUST. The highlights that we present below cover the spectrum from the most basic research to commercialization and business development. They demonstrate that HKUST is building on its achievements as a world-class research university. Basic/ Fundamental Research & Scholarship HKUST researchers continue to make rich contributions at the forefront of basic research: • Prof. David Banfield (BIOL), Prof. Mingjie Zhang (BICH), Marco Tsui and Hidehito Tochio teamed up and discovered the structure and biological function of a protein that plays a central role in ensuring the normal operation of cells. Their findings were published in Science. • Prof. Ping Sheng (PHYS), in collaboration with researchers at the University of Manitoba, have observed ultrasonic tunneling through phononic crystals. This was the first time that the usually quantum mechanical phenomenon of tunneling has been seen in the classical realm of ultrasound. • Prof. Chun Liang (BICH) has identified a protein, called Noc3p, that plays an essential role in the initiation of DNA replication, thus opening a new line of research for such replication in normal and cancer cells. His findings have been published in Cell. • Prof. Nikolaus J Sucher (BIOL) and colleagues in BICH and CENG have introduced a novel method for the fast identification of genetic material utilizing a micro-DNA amplification and analysis device consisting of multiple PCR microreactors with integrated DNA microarrays. The device was fabricated in Si-technology and is being used for the genotyping of Chinese medicinal plants. • Prof. Donald C Chang’s lab (BIOL) has provided strong scientific evidence that greatly changes the understanding on the mechanisms of releasing apoptotic regulators from 1 mitochondria. Furthermore, they have developed a novel molecular probe based on the FRET (fluorescent resonance energy transfer) technique for assaying activation of specific caspase in a single living cell. • Prof. David Zweig and Dr. Siu-Fung Chung (SOSC) have found that democratic elections in rural China increase the legitimacy of government. Through statistical analysis of the views of over 1200 villagers in 60 villages in Anhui Province, they found that where candidates for village director were selected by the villagers and not by local political authorities, villagers participated more in various forms of political activities and were much more supportive of state policy Applied Research Examples of successful applied research are evident across most disciplines of the University : • Prof. Pengcheng Shi and Dr. Huafeng Lui (EEE) have established a stochastic finite element-based computational framework for the joint non-invasive estimation of cardiac material and kinematic properties from medical image sequences; the first in-vivo attempt in the world. • Foot and mouth disease is a highly contagious and economically devastating disease of cattle, swine and other cloven-hoofed niminants. Prof. Yong Xie (BIOL) and colleagues have constructed a new DNA vaccine encoding the swine IL-2 cDNA molecule, providing protection in swine from direct FMDV challenge. • A team of researchers led by Prof. David C C Lam and Prof. Pin Tong (MECH) have shown that the deformation behavior of materials in the nanoscale is vastly stiffer than the same material in the human scale because of a higher order phenomenon called strain gradient stiffening. The recognition of this higher order behavior revolutionizes scientific notions of how material behaves in the nanoscale, and opens up a bright window into the nanoscaled world. • Prof. W H Hui (MATH), in collaboration with researchers at the Zhejiang Institute of Hydraulics and Estuary, has created an accurate numerical method for predicting the world-famous tidal bores on the Qiantang River. • HKUST has successfully implemented the world’s first biaxial shaking table for modeling earthquake induced problems on its state-of-the-art geotechnical centrifuge. In addition, the world’s most advanced 4-axis robotic manipulator has proven to be very useful to simulate construction activities in-flight. The University has won the bid for hosting the International Conference on Physical Modeling in Geotechnics in 2006. • Valuing Technology : The New Science of Wealth in the Knowledge Economy by Prof. Chris Westland (ISMT), Wiley (2002) In this ambitious and original text, Chris Westland follows in the path of Aswath Damodaran, casting light on “The Dark Side of Valuation” of technology stocks. But where Damodaran stops short of addressing the fundamental issues of technology itself, the polymathic Westland - a scientist and consultant - cruises in with observations on Moore’s and Metcalfe’s laws, nanotechnology and optics, biotech and materials science. He attempts to formalize in crisp mathematics some of the “laws” of the microcosm and telecosm. And he 2 explores the many methods of pinning the butterflies of innovation in algorithms

  • Recycled Glass in Asphalt
    CWC Best Practices in Glass Recycling Recycled Glass in Asphalt Material: Recycled Glass Issue: Asphalt containing glass cullet as an aggregate is called “glassphalt,” and has been widely tried as a means to dispose of surplus waste glass since the 1960’s. Glassphalt is basically the same as conventional hot-mix asphalt, except that 5% to 40% of the rock and/or sand aggregate is replaced by crushed glass. The cost-effectiveness of substituting glass for conventional aggregate is highly dependent on the location, the quality and cost of local aggregates, and any credits available for using recycled materials in beneficial re-use applications. Best Practice: This Best Practice discusses the benefits and applicability of glassphalt. For details on the preparation and installation of glassphalt, refer to the Preparation and Placement of Glassphalt Best Practice. For a complete discussion of the history of glassphalt also refer to the Glasphalt Paving Handbook (2) . Glassphalt was originally developed as an alternative to landfill disposal of mixed color waste glass. Mixed color glass, which is unsuitable for recycling into new containers, is generated by most recycling programs. If there are no alternative local markets for mixed color glass and the only other option is disposal with landfill tip fees, using processed glass as a substitute for natural aggregate in asphalt may be an option to be considered. A great number of glassphalt demonstration projects have been performed in cities around the country. Most of these projects have not progressed past the pilot stage because of economics. It is not economical in most parts of the United States to collect glass, process it to a specification aggregate, blend the glass with natural aggregate, add the batch modifiers needed to meet specifications, and deal with the operational changes required for glassphalt.

  • Cullet Supply Issues and Technologies David Rue
    Cullet Supply Issues and Technologies David Rue The Glass Manufacturing Industry Council White Paper on Cullet Utilization and Opportunities is funded entirely by GMIC and is provided to all interested parties at no charge Cullet Supply Issues and Technologies October, 2018 The objective of this study is to provide information to assist GMIC members in gaining a better understanding of ways in which more post-consumer cullet can be recycled and to investigate technical changes GMIC could catalyze to make that happen. This White Paper Study was led by David Rue with input from Robert Lipetz (GMIC Executive Director) and input from experts on collection, processing, characterization, procurement, and re-use of cullet. The opinions of experts are often but not always in agreement. Efforts have been made to include input from all parties. To obtain the most open possible input, the names of all respondents have been excluded from this document. No proprietary information is included. Several company names are included, with the understanding that these references are for illustration and informational purposes and not as endorsement of the companies themselves. Introduction Glass is 100% recyclable. Recycled glass competes with raw material batch and must rely on cost to drive utilization. A wide range of factors affect the cost of cullet to the glass companies. Most surveys (EPA, Container Recycling Institute, GPI) agree that roughly 11 million tons of glass is disposed of each year in the US, and 32-34% of that glass is recycled. Approximately 2.7 million tons were recycled to container glass and 1 million tons to fiberglass in 2017 (Resource Recovery magazine, 2018).

  • Alta Trail Surfaces
    [email protected] (877) 347-5417 WWW.ALTAPLANNING.COM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PACIFIC NORTHWEST NEW ENGLAND What’s Under Foot? Multi-use Trail Surfacing Options by George Hudson, Principal, Alta Planning + Design When approaching a trail project, trail designers and local agency representatives often assume their trail will be surfaced with asphalt or perhaps concrete if budget allows. These are some of the most common and acceptable materials used on trails. But this may not be what local residents had in mind when the trail idea was initially conceived. Or, local residents may not have considered the trail surface until a specific surface was proposed, and then suddenly everyone has an opinion. Trails typically serve a transportation function but most trail users do not want a trail to appear as a mini-roadway. This often leads designers into an exploration of possible trail surfacing options. These conflicts often lead designers into exploring possible trail surfacing options (of which there are more every year), including: traditional asphalt and concrete limestone treated surfaces permeable asphalt and concrete rubberized surfaces, such as "Nike Grind" commercial soil stabilizers organic surfaces, such as bark mulch and geotextile confinement systems wood planer shavings chip seal agricultural by-products, such as filbert shells crusher fines wood, in the form of boardwalks In arriving at a recommended trail surface, several key criteria should be considered including: Initial Capital Cost – Trail surface costs vary dramatically and dollars to build trails are scarce. Construction costs include excavation, subbase preparation, aggregate base placement, and application of the selected trail surface.

  • Effect of Waste Glass on Properties of Asphalt Concrete Mixtures
    Jordan Journal of Civil Engineering, Volume 11, No. 1, 2017 Effect of Waste Glass on Properties of Asphalt Concrete Mixtures 1) 2) 3) 4) Zaydoun T. Abu Salem , Taisir S. Khedawi , Musa Bani Baker and Raed Abendeh 1),3),4) Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan. 2) Jordan University of Science and Technology, Irbid, Jordan. ABSTRACT With the rapid economy growth and continuously increased consumption, a large amount of glass waste materials is generated. This study attends to study the performance of asphalt concrete mix, where some of fractional fine aggregate is substituted with different percentages of crashed glass materials of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20 %. The Marshall design was used to examine the influence of the Optimum Asphalt Content (O.A.C.) at different fine glass percentages and the resistance against water. Asphalt-concrete mix properties can be improved by using a hydrated lime admixture and other mixtures. It is expected that the recycling and use of waste glass in asphalt mixes is feasible. Subsequently, by obtaining low price and economic mixes that will reduce the O.A.C., increase the stability and the durability of the mix, in addition to increasing the skid resistance of the road surface, this will reduce accidents and save a lot of money. By crushing and sieving, waste glass materials can be used as fine aggregates in asphalt concrete, where this is called glassphalt. Satisfactory performance of upper asphalt pavement layers can be achieved by adding glass waste with 10% of the mix. KEYWORDS: Glass waste, Water stability, Skid resistance, Optimum asphalt content (O.A.C.).
