(author), Bruno, A. (author), DiCarlo, L. (author)We investigate die-level and wafer-scale uniformity of Dolan-bridge and bridgeless Manhattan-style Josephson junctions, using multiple substrates with and without through-silicon vias (TSVs). Dolan junctions fabricated on planar substrates have the highest yield and lowest room-temperature conductance spread, equivalent to ∼ 100 M H z in...journal article 2024

Li, Qiang (author), Wang, Xinquan (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Jiang, Shengxiang (author), Diao, Hongguo (author), Wang, Kangyu (author)Extensive studies have been performed on the effectiveness of scour protection against scour erosion progression. But there is little research to date evaluating the effect of scour protection on vertical resistance behaviour of monopile foundations. This paper investigates the influence of scour protection on the vertical loading behaviour of...journal article 2024

Zhang, Liang (author), Li, Guang (author), Chen, Huang (author), Tang, Jingtian (author), Yang, Guanci (author), Yu, Mingbiao (author), Hu, Yong (author), Xu, Jun (author), Sun, J. (author)Audio magnetotelluric (AMT) is commonly used in mineral resource exploration. However, the weak energy of AMT signals makes them susceptible to being overwhelmed by noise, leading to erroneous geophysical interpretations. In recent years, deep learning has been applied to AMT denoising and has shown better denoising performance compared to...journal article 2024

Conceição, Lígia (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), van Arem, B. (author), Tavares, José Pedro (author)Once trusted, automated vehicles (AVs) will gradually appear in urban areas. Such a transition is an opportunity in transport planning to control undesired impacts and possibly mitigate congestion at a time when both conventional vehicles (CVs) and AVs coexist. This paper deals with the complex transport decision problem of designing part of the...journal article 2024

Li, Qiang (author), Wang, Xinquan (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Jiang, Shengxiang (author), Diao, Hongguo (author), Wang, Mingyuan (author), Wang, Kangyu (author)Scour leads to the loss of soil around monopile foundations for offshore wind turbines, which affects their structural safety. In this paper, the effect of scour on the lateral behaviour of monopiles was extensively investigated using finite element analysis, and calibration and comparison were undertaken using centrifuge tests. Piles with three...journal article 2024

Gatidis, C. (author), Schleiss, M.A. (author), Unal, C.M.H. (author)In this study, we take a closer look at the important issue of μ–Λ relationships in raindrop size distributions (DSDs) by conducting a systematic analysis of 20 months of data collected by disdrometers in the Netherlands. A new power-law model for representing μ–Λ relationships based on the double normalization framework is proposed and used to...journal article 2024

(author), Heijman, Sebastiaan (author)Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) is widely used for the chemical cleaning of fouled ultrafiltration (UF) membranes. Various studies performed on polymeric membranes demonstrate that long-term (>100 h) exposure to NaClO deteriorates the physicochemical properties of the membranes, leading to reduced performance and service life. However, the effect...journal article 2024
