Li, Z. (author), Ganapathy, S. (author), Xu, Y. (author), Heringa, J.R. (author), Zhu, Quanyao (author), Chen, Wen (author), Wagemaker, M. (author)The lithium air, or Li–O2, battery system is a promising electrochemical energy storage system because of its very high theoretical specific energy, as required by automotive applications. Fundamental research has resulted in much progress in mitigating detrimental (electro)chemical processes; however, the detailed structural evolution of the...journal article 2017

Davis, Chris B. (author), Aid, Graham (author), Zhu, B. (author)Research on value pathways for organic wastes has been steadily increasing in recent decades. There have been few considerably broad overview studies of such materials and their valuation potential in the bio-based economy in part because of the vast multitude of materials and processes that can be used to produce energy carriers, chemicals,...journal article 2017

Zhu, Zhengqiu (author), Chen, Bin (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Zhang, L. (author), Qiu, S. (author), Qiu, Xiaogang (author)The chemical industry is very important for the world economy and this industrial sector represents a substantial income source for developing countries. However, existing regulations on controlling atmospheric pollutants, and the enforcement of these regulations, often are insufficient in such countries. As a result, the deterioration of...journal article 2017

Yang, H. F. (author), Yang, S. L. (author), Xu, K. H. (author), Wu, H. (author), Shi, B. W. (author), Zhu, Q. (author), Zhang, W. X. (author), Yang, Z. (author)Deltas are widely threatened by sediment starvation and climate change. Erosion potential is an important indicator of delta vulnerability. Here, we investigate the erosion potential of the Yangtze Delta. We found that over the past half century the Yangtze's sediment discharge has decreased by 80% due to the construction of >50,000 dams...journal article 2017

Zhu, Q. (author), van Prooijen, Bram (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Yang, SL (author)Short-term bed-level variability in tidal wetlands has important implication both for ecology and engineering. In this study, we combined in situ measurements with model simulations to quantify short-term bed-level changes on a meso-macrotidal wetland in the Yangtze River Delta. On the middle flat, we observed erosion during neap-to-mean tides...journal article 2017

Zhu, Y. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)The issue of disruptions in railway systems attracts a growing attention due to its severity to the society. Mitigation strategies are proposed from different perspectives to reduce the system vulnerability resulting by disruptions. However, due to financial limitations, it is not realistic to realize all strategies in the real world. Thus, it...conference paper 2017

Zhu, C. (author), Guo, L (author), Tian, B. (author), He, Q (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Estuarine morphodynamics undergo significant changes due to declined sediment supply from river, rising sea-level, and human interferences (Syvitski and Saito, 2007; Syvitski et al., 2009). The Yangtze Estuary is such a case whose decadal morphodynamic evolution was broadly examined. It was documented that the subaqueous delta shifted from...abstract 2017

Guo, L (author), Zhu, C. (author), He, Q (author)Sediment transport provides a critical bridge between hydrodynamics and morphodynamics. Sediment transport behaviour has obvious impacts on morphodynamic development. Long-term morphodynamic modelling enables examination of large scale morphological patterns, such as channel-shoal patterns in estuaries and deltaic channel structures. Non...abstract 2017

Liu, L. (author), Zlatanova, S. (author), Zhu, Q. (author), Li, K. (author)This paper introduces and compares two types of GML-based data standards for indoor location-based services, i.e., iIndoorGML and iIndoorLocationGML. By elaborating the advantages of the both standards and their data models, we conclude that the two data standards are complementary to each other. A jointed data model is presented to show the...conference paper 2017

Zhu, Z. (author)Harness 3D routing is one of the most challenging steps in the design of aircraft Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS), due to the intrinsic complexity of the EWIS, the increasing number of applying design constraints, and its dependency on the design changes of the airframe and installed systems. The current routing process employed...doctoral thesis 2016

Yang, Xiaofan (author), Zhu, Yuanrui (author), Hong, Jing (author), Yang, L. (author), Wu, Yingbo (author), Tang, Yuan Yan (author)There are quite a number of different metrics of network robustness. 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

Zhu, Xiao Xiang (author), Montazeri, Sina (author), Gisinger, Christoph (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author), Bamler, Richard (author)In this paper, we propose a framework referred to as 'geodetic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) tomography' that fuses the SAR imaging geodesy and tomographic SAR inversion (TomoSAR) approaches to obtain absolute 3-D positions of a large amount of natural scatterers. The methodology is applied on four very high resolution TerraSAR-X spotlight...journal article 2016

Zhu, T. (author), Ertsen, M.W. (author), Van de 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
