(author)Wave height attenuation in vegetation canopies is often all attributed to the drag force exerted by vegetation, whereas other potential dissipation process is often neglected. Previous studies without vegetation have found that opposing currents can induce wave breaking and greatly increase dissipation. It is not clear if similar process may...journal article 2022

He, S. (author), Zhang, Shizhe (author), Lukovic, M. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Strain hardening cementitious composite (SHCC) is a special class of ultra-ductile material which has autogenous self-healing capability due to its intrinsic tight crack widths. To further improve its healing ability, healing agent (HA) can be incorporated in SHCC, enabling it also the autonomous self-healing mechanism. In this study, the...journal article 2022

Zhu, Xinting (author), Lin, Yu (author), He, Yuxin (author), Tsui, Kwok Leung (author), Chan, Pak Wai (author), Li, L. (author)With the dynamic air traffic demand and the constrained capacity resources, accurately predicting airport throughput is essential to ensure the efficiency and resilience of air traffic operations. Many research efforts have been made to predict traffic throughputs or flight delays at an airport or over a network. However, it is still a...journal article 2022

Zhu, C. (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), Guo, Leicheng (author), Lin, J. (author), He, Qing (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)The mechanisms controlling the formation of an estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM) in estuaries have been extensively investigated, but one aspect that has received much less scientific attention is the role of high suspended sediment concentrations in combination with tidal asymmetry in ETM formation. Particularly in highly turbid estuaries,...journal article 2022

Gao, Shibin (author), He, Zonglun (author), Wei, Xiaoguang (author), Liu, Y. (author), Huang, Tao (author), Lei, Jieyu (author)A topology attack, as a special class of false data injection attacks, tampers with topology information of a system to mislead the decision of the control center. This article conducts an in-depth study on topology attacks that aim to interfere with the judgment in topology information and pose potential damage by tampering with measurement...journal article 2022

He, K. (author), Dong, Chaoyang (author), Wang, Qing (author)This paper deals with the problem of active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) design for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with sporadic measurements. A novel extended state observer (ESO) is designed in a cascade form consisting of a continuous time estimator, a continuous observation error predictor, and a reset compensator. The...journal article 2022

(author), Richner, Gilles (author), Delaloye, Jean Romain (author), Michaud, Véronique (author)After the spread of COVID-19, surgical masks became highly recommended to the public. They tend to be handled and used multiple times, which may impact their performance. To evaluate this risk, surgical masks of Type IIR were submitted to four simulated treatments: folding, ageing with artificial saliva or sweat and washing cycles. The air...journal article 2022

He, X. (author), Jiang, C. (author), Li, L. (author), Blom, H.A.P. (author)UAS-based commercial services such as urban parcel delivery are expected to grow in the upcoming years and may lead to a large volume of UAS operations in urban areas. These flights may pose safety risks to persons and property on the ground, which are referred to as third-party risks. Path-planning methods have been developed to generate a...journal article 2022

He, Y. (author), Coutino, Mario (author), Isufi, E. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)In this work, we focus on partitioning dynamic graphs with two types of nodes (bi-colored), though not necessarily bipartite graphs. They commonly appear in communication network applications, e.g., one color being base stations, the other users, and the dynamic process being the varying connection status between base stations and moving...conference paper 2022

(author), Zhang, Le (author), He, Zhengbing (author), Chung, Edward (author), Liu, Pan (author)Conventional reinforcement learning (RL) models of variable speed limit (VSL) control systems (and traffic control systems in general) cannot be trained in real traffic process because new control actions are usually explored randomly, which may result in high costs (delays) due to exploration and learning. For this reason, existing RL-based...journal article 2022

(author)In a fractional-N PLL, it is beneficial to minimize the input range of its phase detector (PD) as it promotes better linearity and higher PD gain for suppressing noise contributions of the following loop components. This can be done by canceling the predicted instantaneous time offset between the frequency reference (FREF) and the variable...conference paper 2022
