UNLABELLED We examined concentrations and migration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ten mixed-use buildings in southeast Michigan, USA. In an office and work zone in each building, air exchange rates (AERs) were measured using perfluorocarbon tracers, and over 96 VOC species were measured by GC/MS over a 7-day period. VOCs were then apportioned to sources in offices, work zones, and out...

Aiming at various water storage facilities, the number of which is generally large and whose distribution is not centralized in the industrial and civil buildings, this paper proposed a multi-channel water level telemetry and low power automatically warning system based on wireless sensor network. The sensor nodes of the proposed system could monitor water levels and transmit sensing data to th...

The Ca’ Lita landslide is a large and deep-seated mass movement located in the Secchia River Valley, in the sector of the Northern Apennines falling into Reggio Emilia Province, about 70 km west of Bologna (Northern Italy). It consists of a composite landslide system that affects Cretaceous to Eocene flysch rock masses and chaotic complexes. Many of the components making up the landslide system...

Means to support collaboration for remote industrial facilities such as mining are an important topic, especially in Australia, where major mining sites can be more than a thousand kilometers from population centres. Software-based collaboration and maintenance solutions can help to reduce costs associated with these remote facilities. In this paper, we report on our collaborative engineering p...
