Shao, X. (author), Pustina, P. (author), Stölzle, Maximilian (author), Sun, Guanghui (author), De Luca, Alessandro (author), Wu, Ligang (author), Della Santina, C. (author)Model-based strategies are a promising solution to the grand challenge of equipping continuum soft robots with motor intelligence. However, finite-dimensional models of these systems are inherently inaccurate, thus posing pressing robustness concerns. Moreover, the actuation space of soft robots is usually limited. This article aims at solving...journal article 2024

Wu, Dan (author), Seo, Gab-Su (author), Xu, Lie (author), Su, Chi (author), Kocewiak, Łukasz (author), Qin, Z. (author)Offshore wind is expected to be a major player in the global efforts toward decarbonization, leading to exceptional changes in modern power systems. Understanding the impacts and capabilities of the relatively new and uniquely positioned assets in grids with high integration levels of inverter-based resources, however, is lacking, raising...journal article 2024

Shakeri, I. (author), Wu, W. (author), Michel, Alexander (author), Eder, Martin A. (author)The present study proposes a novel model to modify master S-N curves of components according to their load redistribution capability reflected in different boundary conditions (BCs) based on the fracture mechanics analysis. To that end, a comprehensive numerical study was conducted on a Single Edge Notch Bend (SENB) specimen constrained with...journal article 2024

Shan, Lu (author), Gan, Y.Y. (author), Yan, Xiang (author), Wang, Shuping (author), Yin, Yue (author), Wu, Xiaofan (author)Background: Unequal access to primary healthcare (PHC) has become a critical issue in global health inequalities, requiring governments to implement policies tailored to communities’ needs and abilities. However, the place-based facility dimension of PHCs is oversimplified in current healthcare literature, and formulating the equity-oriented...journal article 2024

(author)The design and orderly layered co-immobilization of multiple enzymes on resin particles remain challenging. In this study, the SpyTag/SpyCatcher binding pair was fused to the N-terminus of an alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and an aldo-keto reductase (AKR), respectively. A non-canonical amino acid (ncAA), p-azido-L-phenylalanine (p-AzF), as the...journal article 2024

(author), Banerjee, Shrestha (author), de Wijs, Gilles (author), Kentgens, Arno (author)Rare-Earth oxyhydrides (REH3-2xOx) are characterized by photodarkening when illuminated by photons having an energy exceeding that of the band gap. We propose that the film is segregated in hydrogen rich and hydrogen poor areas. Upon illumination, the excited electrons reduce the three-valent cations inducing an insulator to metal transition in...journal article 2024

Wu, D. (author)Cardiovascular disease is currently one of the biggest threats to health. Specific types of cardiovascular disease include, but are not limited to, coronary artery disease, cardiac valve disorders, or peripheral arterial disease. The current gold standard for managing these conditions incorporates the use of catheters and guidewires for...doctoral thesis 2023

Wu, Y. (author)Catalysts are often used in challenging chemical reactions to accelerate the reaction rate, increase reaction efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and minimise waste production. In biocatalysis, enzymes or whole cells are used as catalysts with the advantage of reactivity, selectivity and mild reaction condition over chemocatalysis. Nowadays,...doctoral thesis 2023

Wu, B. (author)Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), like fly ash (FA) and blast furnace slag (BFS), are widely used in concrete to partially replace the cement clinker in the production of blended cement or directly replace part of Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in the concrete. No matter how the SCMs are introduced, they can reduce the cost of...doctoral thesis 2023

Wu, L. (author)For almost three decades, side-channel analysis has represented a realistic and severe threat to embedded devices' security. As a well-known and influential class of implementation attacks, side-channel analysis has been applied against cryptographic implementations, processors, communication systems, and, more recently, machine learning models....doctoral thesis 2023

Wang, Junpeng (author), Westermann, Rüdiger (author), Wu, J. (author)We present a novel dehomogenization approach for the efficient design of high-resolution load-bearing structures. The proposed approach builds upon a streamline-based parametrization of the design domain, using a set of space-filling and evenly spaced streamlines in the two mutually orthogonal direction fields that are obtained from...journal article 2023

Perin, G. (author), Wu, L. (author), Picek, S. (author)The adoption of deep neural networks for profiling side-channel attacks opened new perspectives for leakage detection. Recent publications showed that cryptographic implementations featuring different countermeasures could be broken without feature selection or trace preprocessing. This success comes with a high price: an extensive...journal article 2023

Xin, Jianbin (author), Wu, Xuwen (author), D'Ariano, Andrea (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Zhang, Fangfang (author)Most of the existing path planning methods of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are static. This paper proposes a new methodology for the path planning of a fleet of AGVs to improve the flexibility, robustness, and scalability of the AGV system. We mathematically describe the transport process as a dynamical system using an ad hoc mixed...journal article 2023
