Wang, Te (author), Li, Zongkun (author), Ge, W. (author), zhang, Z.H. (author), Zhang, Yadong (author), Sun, Heqiang (author), Jiao, Yutie (author)Compared with a single reservoir, the risk in cascade reservoirs has the transmission and superposition effect, which increases the complexity of its risk consequence assessment. In view of this problem, the direct consequence (DC) and potential consequence (PC) were defined as two parts of the dam breach risk consequence of cascade reservoirs....journal article 2023

(author), Le, Quang Bao (author), Lippe, Melvin (author), Niamir, Leila (author), Polhill, J. Gareth (author), Sun, Zhanli (author), Berger, Thomas (author)There has so far been no shared understanding of validity in agent-based simulation. We here conceptualise validation as systematically substantiating the premises on which conclusions from simulation analysis for a particular modelling context are built. Given such a systematic perspective, validity of agent-based models cannot be ensured if...journal article 2023

Zhang, Qunli (author), Zhao, Wenqiang (author), Sun, Donghan (author), Meng, Xiangzhao (author), Hooman, K. (author), Yang, Xiaohu (author)NO<sub>x</sub> emission reduction from gas boilers has become a key issue in improving air quality. Combustion air humidification technology is gradually being used to reduce NO<sub>x</sub> emissions. However, the NO<sub>x</sub> emission reduction effect of gas boilers at a higher combustion air humidity has been studied less. A flue gas with...journal article 2023

de Vries, J.W. (author), Sun, M. (author), de Groot, N.M.S. (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author)Estimating tissue conductivity parameters from electrograms (EGMs) could be an important tool for diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation (AF). One of these parameters is the fibre direction, often assumed to be known in conductivity estimation methods. In this paper, a novel method to estimate the fibre...conference paper 2023

Marinescu, M. (author), Olivares, Alberto (author), Staffetti, Ernesto (author), Sun, Junzi (author)This paper addresses the problem of spatiotemporal wind velocity field estimation for air traffic management applications. Using data obtained from aircraft, the eastward and northward components of the wind velocity field inside a specific air space are calculated as functions of time. Both short-term wind velocity field forecasting and wind...journal article 2023

(author), Petersson, Gunilla (author), Folestad, Staffan (author), Chew, Jia Wei (author), van Ommen, J.R. (author)For dry powder inhaled formulations, good flow behaviour is vital in re-dispersing the powder. However, inhaled drug powders with a particle size below 10 µm are classified as highly cohesive materials with poor flow characteristics. Here we demonstrate how to alter the flow properties of micronized budesonide powders by depositing different...journal article 2023

(author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)The thermal-piezoresistive effect in silicon (Si) has attracted great attention toward high-performance resonant devices but still faces major challenges for harsh environment applications. Instead of using Si, this paper, for the first time, reports a thermal-piezoresistive resonator based on a silicon carbide-on-insulator (SiCOI) platform. The...conference paper 2023
