Dealing with construction and demolition waste abroad: lessons for Hong Kong [Part II]

Dealing with construction and demolition waste abroad: lessons for Hong Kong [Part I]

Few issues in construction give rise to more controversy than dealing with construction and demolition (C&D) waste. The problem is the same the world over. In Hong Kong it has been exacerbated by conflicting definitions in governing primary and secondary legislation as to what qualifies as waste, which affects how it should be dealt with - whether recycled or filled. In the first instalment of a two-part article Dr Arthur McInnis and David Hall-Jones of Denton Wilde Sapte look at how C&D waste is dealt with in other leading jurisdictions and then draw some conclusions for how Hong Kong might address the issue.published_or_final_versio

Fly control in caged layer buildings (1993)

House flies, soldier flies and other non-biting flies can and often do become a problem in poultry buildings. They do not bite or feed on the birds but may carry pathogens because of their habit of feeding on manure, dead birds and other waste materials. This guide gives recommendations for controlling flies only in caged layer operations where the birds are not in contact with the floor or litte. Properly managed floor operations seldom have a fly problem

Characterization of the CBC2 readout ASIC for the CMS strip-tracker high-luminosity upgrade

The CMS Binary Chip 2 (CBC2) is a full-scale prototype ASIC developed for the front-end readout of the high-luminosity upgrade of the CMS silicon strip tracker. The 254-channel, 130 nm CMOS ASIC is designed for the binary readout of double-layer modules, and features cluster-width discrimination and coincidence logic for detecting high-PT track candidates. The chip was delivered in January 2013 and has since been bump-bonded to a dual-chip hybrid and extensively tested. The CBC2 is fully functional and working to specification: we present the result of electrical characterization of the chip, including gain, noise, threshold scan and power consumption, together with the performance of the stub finding logic. Finally we will outline the plan for future developments towards the production version

Controlling external parasites on swine

"The major external parasite attacking hogs in Missouri is the hog louse. These insects obtain their food by puncturing the skin of the host animal with their mouthparts and sucking blood. Each time they feed they puncture the skin at a different place. The irritation and itching caused by puncturing the skin causes the animal to rub against any convenient object. The animals may rub off their hair in patches and may even rub hard enough to cause bleeding."--First page.Robert D. Hall and Flernoy G.
