With more residential buildings being built close to road network systems in Hong Kong, there is an increasing need to find method to combat excessive traffic noise exposure in residentials unit. Several measures have been employed in various places,... Read More about Effects of sound incidence angle on the effectiveness of noise reduction measures applied to acoustic windows.

Sound insulation of plenum windows installed with rigid cylinder array (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Li, X., & Tang, S. K. (2019). Sound insulation of plenum windows installed with rigid cylinder array. In Proceedings of inter-noise 2019. The 48th International Congress and Exhibition on Noise Control Engineering

In this study, a 1:4 scale down model was established to investigate the acoustical performance of plenum window installed with a rigid cylinder array. A total of 6 rigid cylinders were vertically placed as a 2x3 array inside the central cavity of a... Read More about Sound insulation of plenum windows installed with rigid cylinder array.

Generalised geometric swimming for Stokes flow (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Koens, L., & Lauga, E. (2019). Generalised geometric swimming for Stokes flow. In 72nd Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics. Meeting Abstracts

Shapere and Wilczek first demonstrated that the displacement of a microscopic swimmer was related to path integrals over a gauge field. This field is a function of the swimmers configuration and laboratory frame position. For simple 1D swimmers, Stok... Read More about Generalised geometric swimming for Stokes flow.

Thermoelectric generator performance enhancement by the application of pulsed heat power (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Shittu, S., Li, G., Zhao, X., & Ma, X. (2019). Thermoelectric generator performance enhancement by the application of pulsed heat power. . https://doi.org/10.11159/ffhmt19.146

Thermoelectric generator (TEG) is usually studied under steady state heating conditions however, the use of pulsed heat power could significantly enhance its performance. Therefore, this paper presents a numerical investigation of the thermal and ele... Read More about Thermoelectric generator performance enhancement by the application of pulsed heat power.

An observer-relative systems approach to information (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Demetis, D., & Lee, A. (2019). An observer-relative systems approach to information. In Proceedings of the 52nd Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (6300-6309)

By returning to the foundational principles of second-order cybernetics and resting on the central role of the observer, this essay explores how the distinction between data/information can be conceptualized. Using systems theory, we derive a series... Read More about An observer-relative systems approach to information.
