Yang, L. (author), Li, Pengdeng (author), Yang, Xiaofan (author), Tang, Yuan Yan (author)Advanced persistent threats (APTs) pose a grave threat to cyberspace, because they deactivate all the conventional cyber defense mechanisms. This paper addresses the issue of evaluating the security of the cyber networks under APTs. For this purpose, a dynamic model capturing the APT-based cyber-attack-defense processes is proposed....journal article 2017

Zheng, Junchao (author), Tang, Hailong (author), Chen, Min (author), Yin, F. (author)As an evolutional concept of variable cycle engine, the adaptive cycle engine draws widely attention with high expectations. It combines a variable geometry schedule and component matching principles to demonstrate its advantages such as avoiding severe inlet spillage drag and the wide variable cycle characteristics. Thus, this paper aims at...journal article 2017

Tang, T. (author), Anupam, K. (author), Kasbergen, C. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author)Stopping distance includes driver thinking distance and braking distance. Braking distance is one of the basic standards for road design and maintenance practices. Adequate tire–pavement skid resistance plays a significant role in reducing braking distance and consequently enhancing road safety. With technology such as the antilock braking...journal article 2017

Hu, Fa-Fei (author), Tang, H. (author), Ye, H. (author), Chen, X. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)The sensing behavior of monolayer tin sulfide (SnS) for four gas molecules (NH<sub>3</sub>, NO<sub>2</sub>, CO, and H<sub>2</sub>O) are studied by the first-principle calculation based on density-functional theory. We calculate adsorption energy, adsorption distance, and Hirshfeld charge to estimate the adsorption ability of monolayer SnS for...journal article 2017

Shang, R. (author), Goulas, A (author), Tang, CY (author), De Frias Serra, X. (author), Rietveld, L.C. (author), Heijman, Sebastiaan (author)Tight ceramic nanofiltration (NF) membranes allow efficient separation of organic matter and ions for advanced water treatment. These membranes are typically produced by the sol-gel method. Recently, atomic layer deposition (ALD), a self-limiting gas phase coating technique, has been explored for membrane fabrication and modification. In this...journal article 2017

This paper addresses the rationality of four metrics of network robustness (the algebraic connectivity, the effective resistance, the average edge betweenness, and the efficiency) by investigating the robust growth of generalized meshes (GMs). First, a heuristic growth...journal article 2016

Tang, K. (author), Besseling, N.A.M. (author)This article presents a study of layer-by-layer (LbL) formation of poly-electrolyte multilayers (PEMs). Upon increasing ionic strength LbL growth patterns vary from linear for the lowest salt concentrations ([NaCl] = 0, 0.001, and 0.01 M) to exponential (for [NaCl] = 0.5 and 1 M). The slope of the linear growth at the lowest ionic strengths...journal article 2015
