Ye, Qing Chuan (author), Rhuggenaath, Jason. S. (author), Zhang, Yingqian (author), Verwer, S.E. (author), Hilgeman, Michiel Jurgen (author)Designing auction parameters for online industrial auctions is a complex problem due to highly heterogeneous items. Currently, online auctioneers rely heavily on their experts in auction design. The ability of predicting how well an auction will perform prior to the start comes in handy for auctioneers. If an item is expected to be a low...journal article 2021

Ye, J. (author), Reppa, V. (author), Godjevac, M. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Offshore platforms and windmills are constructed by assembling huge mechanical structures transported by heavy lift vessels. The construction process comprises two interconnected operations, the dynamic positioning (DP) of the vessel and the lifting of heavy loads. The DP system is commonly designed and tuned for the case that there is no...journal article 2021

(author), Tian, Zhan (author), Sun, Laixiang (author)It has been shown that the proportion of intense tropical cyclones (TCs) has been increasing together with a poleward migration of TC track. However, their relative importance to TC surge at landfall remains unknown. Here we examine the sensitivity of TC surge in Shanghai to landfall location and intensity with a new dynamical modelling...journal article 2021

Ye, Q. (author), Avallone, F. (author), Ragni, D. (author), Choudhari, Meelan (author), Casalino, D. (author)Surface roughness elements are often used to force laminar to turbulent transition in aerodynamic and aeroacoustic wind-tunnel experiments. The statistical features and spectral content of the pressure fluctuations in the resulting turbulent boundary layer at the trailing edge can affect far-field noise. To elucidate this dependence, boundary...journal article 2021
