Wu, W. (author), Liu, Xinwang (author), Zhou, Ligang (author), Qin, Jindong (author), Rezaei, J. (author)Since the development of the best–worst method (BWM) in 2015, it has become a popular research focus in multi-criteria decision-making. The original optimization problem of the BWM is a nonlinear min–max model that can lead to multiple optimal solutions, while the linear model of the BWM produces a unique solution. The two models need to be...journal article 2024

Angst, Ueli M. (author), Rossi, Emanuele (author), Boschmann Käthler, Carolina (author), Mannes, David (author), Trtik, Pavel (author), Elsener, Bernhard (author), Zhou, Z. (author), Strobl, Markus (author)The steel–concrete interface (SCI) is known to play a major role in corrosion of steel in concrete, but a fundamental understanding is still lacking. One reason is that concrete’s opacity complicates the study of internal processes. Here, we report on the application of bimodal X-ray and neutron microtomography as in-situ imaging techniques...journal article 2024

(author)An error was made in the definition of the density parameter ρ in Equations 7, 8 and 9 of the original article. It was defined as the bulk density of the aquifer, whereas it should have been the density of pore water. Additionally the density of the aquifer solid matrix ρ<sub>s</sub>, used in equation 11 to compute the retardation factor, was...journal article 2024

Zhou, Jianfeng (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)When a major chemical accident occurs, emergency response is an important measure to reduce accident losses. Some actions in an emergency response may be more important than others in reducing accident losses, so they need to be carried out as a matter of priority. The impact of the number of emergency personnel on the relationship between...journal article 2024

On the use of common random numbers in activity-based travel demand modeling for scenario comparisonZhou, H. (author), Dorsman, J. L. (author), Mandjes, M. (author), Snelder, M. (author)Activity-based travel demand models provide a high level of detail when modeling complex travel behavior. Since stochastic simulation is used, however, this high level may induce large random fluctuations in the output, necessitating many model reruns to produce reliable output. This may become prohibitive in terms of computation time when...journal article 2023
