Keijzer, Elisabeth (author), Verstraeten-Jochemsen, Jacco (author), Yu, Vigil (author), van Leeuwen, Sanne (author), Visschedijk, Antoon (author), de Vos-Effting, Suzanne (author)Although the need for a more circular economy is supported by diverse people in both politics as well as in the scientific community, implementation of circular principles in reality is rarely occurring. This study shows how quantitative models can help to develop new policies for enhancing circularity in the construction sector. By means of a...conference paper 2017

Yu, C. (author), Verhaegen, M.H.G. (author)Abstract:<br/>This note studies the identification of individual systems operating in a large-scale distributed network by considering the interconnection signals between neighboring systems to be unmeasurable. The unmeasurable interconnections act as unknown system inputs to the individual systems in a network, which poses a challenge for the...journal article 2017

Yap, M.D. (author), Cats, O. (author), Yu, S (author), van Arem, B. (author)Crowding in public transport can be of major influence on passengers’ travel experience and therefore affect route and mode choice. Therefore, it is important to understand how crowding in urban public transport is perceived by passengers. The availability of individual smart card transactions allows us to gain insights in revealed trade-offs...conference paper 2017

Alfano, M.R. (author), Iurino, Kathryn (author), Stey, Paul (author), Robinson, Brian (author), Christen, Markus (author), Yu, Feng (author), Lapsley, Daniel (author)This paper presents five studies on the development and validation of a scale of intellectual humility. This scale captures cognitive, affective, behavioral, and motivational components of the construct that have been identified by various philosophers in their conceptual analyses of intellectual humility. We find that intellectual humility has...journal article 2017

(author), Frolov, Sergey M. (author)Topological superconductivity is an exotic state of matter characterized by spinless p-wave Cooper pairing of electrons and by Majorana zero modes at the edges. The first signature of topological superconductivity is a robust zero-bias peak in tunneling conductance. We perform tunneling experiments on semiconductor nanowires (InSb) coupled to...journal article 2017

(author)Three-dimensional topological insulators (3D TIs) represent states of quantum matters in which surface states are protected by timereversal symmetry and an inversion occurs between bulk conduction and valence bands. However, the bulk-band inversion, which is intimately tied to the topologically nontrivial nature of 3D Tis, has rarely been...journal article 2017

(author)Self-reconfigurable modular robots (SRRobot) that can change their shape and function in different environments according to different tasks have caught a lot of attention recently. Most existing prototypes use professional electronic components with relatively expensive cost and high barrier of fabrication. In this paper, we present a low-cost...conference paper 2017

Yu, C. (author), Chen, Jie (author), Ljung, Lennart (author), Verhaegen, M.H.G. (author)The continuous-time subspace identification using state-variable filtering has been investigated for a long time. Due to the simple orthogonal basis functions that were adopted by the existing methods, the identification performance is quite sensitive to the selection of the system-dynamic parameter associated with an orthogonal basis. To...conference paper 2017

Yu, C. (author), Verhaegen, M.H.G. (author)This note studies the identification of a network comprised of interconnected clusters of LTI systems. Each cluster consists of homogeneous dynamical systems, and its interconnections with the rest of the network are unmeasurable. A subspace identification method is proposed for identifying a single cluster using only local input and output data...journal article 2017

Yu, C. (author), Ljung, Lennart (author), Verhaegen, M.H.G. (author)Gray-box identification is prevalent in modeling physical and networked systems. However, due to the non-convex nature of the gray-box identification problem, good initial parameter estimates are crucial for a successful application. In this paper, a new identification method is proposed by exploiting the low-rank and structured Hankel matrix...conference paper 2017
