In the Beginning
Just the
Formula
Dr Mordecai Golin,
Department of
Computer Science,
and Dr Hyeon-Suk Na
(Soongsil University)
generalized the Kraft-
McMillan Inequality, a
simple formula that
decides if certain
code lengths are
allowed in a prefix-
free code.
Cancer
Breakthrough
Dr Shengcai Lin,
Department of
Biochemistry, and his
research group dis-
covered a novel
activation mechanism
of the tumor suppres-
sor p53, which is
mutated in over 50%
of cancers.
Decision Time
Prof Chew Soo Hong,
Department of
Economics, launched
a neuroeconomics
research initiative
involving a cross-
cultural interactive
decision-making study
using brain scanning
technology - the
first concurrent scan-
ning of subjects in
China and the US.
Path Finder
Prof Mingjie Zhang,
Department of
Biochemistry, and his
research team have
made a series of dis-
coveries related to
neuronal signal trans-
duction pathways.
Focus of
Attention
Physics researchers at
the University have
demonstrated for the
first time that an
ultrasonic phononic
crystal can exhibit
large negative refrac-
tion, leading to a
focusing effect with
large focal depth.
Location,
Location
Dr Qiang Yang and
the Artificial
Intelligence Group,
Department of
Computer Science,
have developed new
technology to track
locations and activi-
ties of people in build-
ings. The innovation
uses wireless local
area networks, and
allows for less human
involvement
and higher accuracy.
Healthy
Development
Prof Richard Haynes,
Department of
Chemistry, has com-
pleted the first Phase II
clinical trial of
artemisone, an anti-
malaria drug he has
developed.
Fresh Energy
A commissioning test
for a co-combustion
pilot plant developed
by Dr Gordon McKay,
Department of
Chemical
Engineering, took
place in partnership
with Green Island
Cement Co Ltd and
showed itself to be
safe in terms of emis-
sions.
China
Economic
Forecasts
HKUST's Center for
Economic
Development is col-
laborating with
Tsinghua University to
construct an econo-
metric forecasting
model for China. It
announced the first
set of forecasts in
Beijing.
