Lee, Won Yong (author), Wen, C. (author), Pham, N.H. (author), Khaksaran, Mohammad Hadi (author), Lee, S. (author), Zhang, Shi Li (author)Tracing fast nanopore-translocating analytes requires a high-frequency measurement system that warrants a temporal resolution better than 1 µs. This constraint may practically shift the challenge from increasing the sampling bandwidth to dealing with the rapidly growing noise with frequencies typically above 10 kHz, potentially making it...journal article 2024

Sui, Zhongyi (author), Wen, Yuanqiao (author), Huang, Yamin (author), Song, R. (author), Piera, Miquel Angel (author)The theoretical analysis of maritime accidents is a hot topic, but the time characteristics and dynamics of maritime accidents time series are still unclear. It is difficult to draw a clear conclusion from the cause analysis, so the accident is difficult to be predicted. To bridge this gap, this research analyzes the characteristics and...journal article 2023

Wen, Weijie (author), Lyu, Rui (author), Li, Botong (author), Cao, Hong (author), Yu, Jiali (author), Li, Bin (author), Popov, M. (author)For the black start-up of DC micro-grids, three-phase charging resistors are required to limit the uncontrollable surge current. The main drawback of this start-up method is the difficulty in determining the appropriate resistance value to achieve a rapid start-up and limit the surge current with the change of grid parameters. To address this...journal article 2023

Huang, R. (author), Liu, Guiwen (author), Li, Kaijian (author), Liu, Zhengxuan (author), Fu, Xinyue (author), Wen, J. (author)The cooperative behavior of residents is complex and influenced by their complicated social relationships. This complexity is especially noticeable in neighborhood renewal, so the government does not know how to promote residents' cooperative behavior. Therefore, this study proposes an agent-based model (ABM) to investigate the development of...journal article 2023
