Design rules and guidelines for generic condition-based maintenance software's Graphic User Interface by Philip A. Higgs

“…Challenges facing this research include: the multitude of different CM techniques, developed for measuring different component and machinery condition parameters; the multitude of different methods of HCI; and the multitude of different ways of communicating machinery health conditions to CBM practitioners. Each challenge will be considered whilst pursuing the objective of identifying a generic set of design and development principles, applicable to the design and development of a CBM system's Human Machine Interface (HMI). …”

Simulations of the dispersion of reactive pollutants in a street canyon, considering different chemical mechanisms and micromixing by Andrew Garmory, I.S. Kim, R.E. Britter, E. Mastorakos

“…The Stochastic Fields (SF) or Field Monte Carlo method has been used to model the dispersion of reactive scalars in a street canyon, using a simple chemistry and the CBM-IV mechanism. SF is a Probability Density Function (PDF) method which allows both means and variances of the scalars to be calculated as well as considering the effect of segregation on reaction rates. …”
