(author)Typically, metal particles are difficult to manipulate with conventional optical vortex (OV) tweezers, because of their strong absorption and scattering. However, it has been shown that the vortex field of surface plasmonic polaritons, called plasmonic vortex (PV), is capable of stable trapping and dynamic rotation of metal particles, especially...journal article 2015

Zhu, Y. (author), Peng, M. (author), Shi, Z. (author), Zhang, L. (author)The 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake triggered at least 257 landslide dams, most of which formed in series along rivers. The failure of an upstream dam could cause the failure of dams downstream one after another. The cascade dam breaching may result in sharp increase of flood and more serious damage downstream. This paper aims to analyze the...conference paper 2015

Zlatanova, S. (author), Sithole, G. (author), Nakagawa, M. (author), Zhu, Q. (author)Gi4DM 2015 marks the 10th edition of the Geoinformation for Disaster Management series of conferences. The first conference in 2005 was held in the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami which claimed the lives of over 220000 civilians. While Geoinformatics has a long been used in disaster management and monitoring, it was the...conference paper 2015

Zhu, Z. (author), La Rocca, G. (author), Van Tooren, M.J.L. (author)Harness 3D routing in aircraft Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS) design is very complex because of both the intrinsic complexity of EWIS and the increasing number of design constraints. The complexity hinders the improvement of the design efficiency and makes the design error prone. Considering that many harness components are...conference paper 2015

Zhu, T. (author), Ertsen, M.W. (author), Van der Giesen, N.C. (author)The Hohokam, an irrigation-based society in the American South West, used the river valleys of the Salt and Gila Rivers between 500 and 1500 AD to grow their crops. Such irrigated crops are linking human agency, water sources and the general natural environment. In order to grow crops, water available through rain and river flows needs to be...journal article 2015

We present direct numerical simulations of Taylor-Couette flow with grooved walls up to inner cylinder Reynolds number of $Re_i=3.76\times10^4$, corresponding to Taylor number of $Ta=2.15\times10^9$. The simulations are performed at a fixed radius ratio $\eta=r_i/r_o=0.714$. The grooves are axisymmetric V-shaped obstacles attached to the wall...conference paper 2015

Cisotto, L. (author), Zhu, Y. (author), Pereira, S.F. (author), Urbach, H.P. (author)Finding a fast and precise method to measure the side-wall angle of periodic (or non-periodic) structures is still a very challenging problem in lithographic applications. For this reason, over the years, many techniques have been proposed to circumvent this limitation, with the final goal to give the most precise geometrical description of...conference paper 2015

(author)Steel is prone to corrosion induced by chloride ions, which is a serious threat to reinforced concrete structures, especially in marine environments. In this work, we report a novel capsule-based selfrecovery system that utilizes chloride ions as a trigger. These capsules, which are functionalized via a smart response to chloride ions, are...journal article 2015

Xiong, Q. (author), Zhu, Q. (author), Zlatanova, S. (author), Du, Z. (author), Zhang, Y. (author), Zeng, L. (author)Indoor navigation is increasingly widespread in complex indoor environments, and indoor path planning is the most important part of indoor navigation. Path planning generally refers to finding the most suitable path connecting two locations, while avoiding collision with obstacles. However, it is a fundamental problem, especially for 3D complex...conference paper 2015

Yu, Q. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Liu, Z. (author), Van de Giesen, N.C. (author), Zhu, D. (author)Algal blooms have been frequently found at the upper reaches of the Tanglang River, which is downstream from the eutrophic Dianchi Lake. The eutrophic lake upstream is considered to be a potential source of phytoplankton, which contributes to the development of harmful algal blooms in the river downstream and can cause many serious problems for...journal article 2015

Zhu, S. (author)In this thesis, I have shown that the quality of synthetic graphene can be as high as mechanically exfoliated graphene if we can get rid of the wrinkles. Any defects, impurities and grain boundaries will induce scattering, preventing ballistic transport. The experiment described in chapter 4 was the first to demonstrate ballistic transport in...doctoral thesis 2015

Zhu, Y. (author), Heynderickx, I.E.J.R. (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Redi, J.A. (author)Recently, a lot of effort has been devoted to estimating the Quality of Visual Experience (QoVE) in order to optimize video delivery to the user. For many decades, existing objective metrics mainly focused on estimating the perceived quality of a video, i.e., the extent to which artifacts due to e.g. compression disrupt the appearance of the...conference paper 2015

Ertsen, M.W. (author), Murphy, J.T. (author), Purdue, L.E. (author), Zhu, T. (author)When simulating social action in modeling efforts, as in socio-hydrology, an issue of obvious importance is how to ensure that social action by human agents is well-represented in the analysis and the model. Generally, human decision-making is either modeled on a yearly basis or lumped together as collective social structures. Both responses are...journal article 2014
