Lv, Maolong (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Shi, Chao (author), Baldi, S. (author)This work studies logic-based distributed switching control for nonlinear agents in power-chained form, where logic-based (switching) control arises from the online estimation of the control directions assumed to be unknown for all agents. Compared to the state-of-the-art logic-based mechanisms, the challenge of power-chained dynamics is that...journal article 2022

Zhou, Jianmin (author), Ding, Lei (author), Shi, Mu (author), Lindeboom, R.E.F. (author), Cui, Changzheng (author)In the envisaged hydrogen economy, H<sub>2</sub> could be an interesting alternative electron donor for the denitrification of drinking water or wastewater. The main obstacle to engineering the hydrogenotrophic denitrification process is the low solubility of H<sub>2</sub> in water under atmospheric pressure, which limits denitrification rate...journal article 2022

Nina, Yvan Arosquipa (author), Shi, Rui (author), Wüthrich, D. (author), Chanson, Hubert (author)At hydraulic structures, some strong interactions may develop between fast flowing waters and the air adjacent to the water in motion that enhance the air-water transfer of atmospheric and volatile gases in the flow. In turn, in-stream structures may contribute to the aeration and re-oxygenation during overflow. The present study aims to...journal article 2022

Shi, Qianqian (author), Wang, Ziyuan (author), LI, Boya (author), Hertogh, M.J.C.M. (author), Wang, Shuyi (author)In the context of carbon peak and carbon neutral policies, low-carbon construction has been the focus of most countries worldwide. As one of the most effective ways to achieve green construction, many countries have launched low-carbon policies to promote the development of prefabrication. However, the effectiveness and influencing factors of...journal article 2022

Shi, W. (author), Dong, J. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Bauer, P. (author)One of the challenges with the dynamic inductive power transfer (DIPT) technique is the electric vehicle detection (EVD) that helps the DIPT system to control the power supply of the transmitter. The EVD method applying auxiliary coils is a promising candidate because the flat shape of the auxiliary coils is suitable for the compact design....journal article 2021
