Potential pitfalls of smart city development: A study on parking mobile applications (apps) in Hong Kong

Smart cities are built upon information and communication technologies (ICTs) to enable a broad range of advanced services. Through a comprehensive literature review, this study identified four pitfalls brought by the pervasive application of ICT, including information insecurity, privacy leakage, information islands, and digital divide. Therefore, a questionnaire survey together with 27 interviews was conducted in Hong Kong to investigate how the public perceived these pitfalls within the context of mobile apps providing real-time parking information which form a major part of smart mobility. System insecurity and privacy leakage were found to arouse worries among the app-users while their awareness of protecting personal data was found to have room for improvement. Islands of real-time parking information occur as a result of the lack of collaboration among private carpark operators. Digital divide existed widely among the disadvantaged groups and the problem cannot be solved by mere provision of ICT facilities. Overall, technologies alone cannot make a city smart or smarter. It is the suitable way in which ICTs are used to serve all citizens that matters.

基于平面复合降阻材料的杆塔基础接地降阻研究

杆塔基础自然接地作为输电线路重要的接地装置,能减少外延接地及降阻施工成本。针对特高压输电线路杆塔基础接地提出基于平面复合降阻材料的塔基外敷接地降阻策略,首先,采用CDEGS仿真计算软件建立特高压杆塔单根浇注桩接地计算模型,分析均匀土壤、多层土壤、混合土壤三种条件下的外敷接地降阻效果;然后,通过单个塔基外敷计算模型分析外敷材料不同敷设方式的降阻效率;最后,计算完整杆塔基础外敷接地降阻效率和散流分布特征,并与水平人工外延接地降阻方式进行对比。结果表明,外敷接地降阻效率与土壤条件、敷设位置等因素有关,在高土壤电阻率条件下,塔基外敷接地降阻效率超过22%,与水平人工外延接地相比,塔基外敷接地降阻的散流比超过96%,接地材料利用率高,可减少征地和二次接地施工成本。     

Structure of turbulent rich hydrogen‐air premixed flames

In the present article, series of experiments were conducted to study the structure characteristics of premixed flames in turbulent rich hydrogen‐air mixtures within a constant‐volume turbulent combustion system, 7 equivalence ratios (1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, and 2.5), and 5 turbulent intensity (0, 0.494, 0.742, 1.080, and 1.309 m/s) were studied. With the increase of turbulent intensity, the cellularity degree was obviously enhanced for turbulence promoted the formation and the development of initial cracks by wrinkling flame‐front; furthermore, the enhanced hydrodynamic instability was also one important reason. Turbulence would change the linear growth of critical radius to equivalence ratio into nonlinear, but the variation extents had limitation. The wrinkling index of flame‐front would rise as flame expanded, and the wrinkling index on flames with similar size would be increased with the increase of turbulence once the turbulent intensity was sufficiently high. From the variations of the root mean square of related oscillation on flame‐front, it could be found that the partial amount of oscillation induced by sole turbulence was declined as flame expanded for the breakup of large eddies.
