(author), Huang, Jiawei (author), Yin, Xiaokang (author), Sohail Usmani, Asif (author), Chen, Guoming (author)Deep learning has been widely applied to automated leakage detection and location of natural gas pipe networks. Prevalent deep learning approaches do not consider the spatial dependency of sensors, which limits leakage detection performance. Graph deep learning is a promising alternative to prevailing approaches as it can model spatial...journal article 2023

Shi, Weibo (author), Niu, Dongyu (author), Li, Z. (author), Niu, Yanhui (author)The surface texture of asphalt pavement has a significant effect on skid resistance performance. However, its contribution to the performance of skid resistance is non-homogeneous and subjects to local validity. There are also a few deep learning models that take into account the effective contact texture region. This paper proposes a...journal article 2023

(author)Rotary motors play key roles in energy transduction, from macroscale windmills to nanoscale turbines such as ATP synthase in cells. Despite our abilities to construct engines at many scales, developing functional synthetic turbines at the nanoscale has remained challenging. Here, we experimentally demonstrate rationally designed nanoscale DNA...journal article 2023
