Fang, Wei (author), Zhang, Xuedong (author), Spanjers, H. (author), Zhang, Tao (author)Persulfates ((peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and peroxydisulfate (PDS)) can disintegrate waste activated sludge (WAS), but their influence on volatile fatty acid (VFA) production during anaerobic fermentation is largely unclear. Particularly, it is unknown whether persulfates can improve fermentation without any preactivation. This study...journal article 2021

Ali, Liaqat (author), Makhdoom, Nageena (author), Gao, Yifan (author), Fang, P. (author), Khan, Sikandar (author), Bai, Yong (author)A numerical model in slice configuration was applied to the Central Andaman Sea in order to derive metocean operational and design criteria associated to internal solitary waves which are large amplitude interfacial waves. For that purpose, a 10 year hindcast was generated. The model was driven by tides at the open boundary and included...journal article 2021

Fang, Juan (author), Haldimann, Michael (author), Marchal Crespo, L. (author), Hunt, Kenneth J. (author)In a parallel development to traditional rigid rehabilitation robotic systems, cable-driven systems are becoming popular. The robowalk expander product uses passive elastic bands in the training of the lower limbs. However, a well-controlled assistance or resistance is desirable for effective walking relearning and muscle training. To achieve...journal article 2021

Tang, Z. (author), Fang, Yun (author), Yu, Xiao Peng (author), Tan, Nick Nianxiong (author), Shi, Zheng (author), Harpe, Pieter (author)This work presents an energy-efficient diode-based CMOS temperature sensor. It is based on the capacitively biased diode (CBD) working principle and can operate with a 1-V supply voltage. Instead of using a separate CBD front-end and ADC, a new architecture is proposed in which the CBD front-end is directly embedded into the 1st stage of a 1...journal article 2021

Xu, Yuxin (author), Fang, P. (author), Bai, Yong (author)Metallic strip flexible pipes (MSFP), a relatively new style of unbonded flexible pipes, are considered as an attractive alternative to traditional submarine pipes. During its reeling operation, it will inevitably confront various complicated loads, which may affect the integrity and safety of MSFP's utilization. In this paper, the tension...journal article 2021
