Wei, Ziyi (author), Huang, Kai (author), Chen, Ying (author), Wang, D. (author), Yu, Yajuan (author), Xu, Ming (author), Kapelan, Z. (author)To alleviate the geographical mismatch between supply and demand of water resources, virtual water trade had attracted extensive attention. Many studies had estimated the virtual water flow and measured the virtual water inequality using Environmental Input-Output (EIO) model. However, EIO model ignores the feedback effect in the trade, which...journal article 2023

Li, Chutian (author), Lai, F. (author), Shiau, Jim (author), Keawsawasvong, Suraparb (author), Huang, Hanhui (author)A narrow backfill zone is formed when retaining walls are built near existing stabilized structures (e.g., rock faces). In such circumstances, the classical passive earth pressure coefficient is no longer applicable, and a correction factor is required for the design. This paper aims to develop analytical solutions for estimating the passive...journal article 2023

Huang, J. (author), Zhao, Z. (author), Chen, Lydia Y. (author), Roos, S. (author)Attacks on Federated Learning (FL) can severely reduce the quality of the generated models and limit the usefulness of this emerging learning paradigm that enables on-premise decentralized learning. However, existing untargeted attacks are not practical for many scenarios as they assume that i) the attacker knows every update of benign...conference paper 2023

Ding, J. (author), Lam, Tin Lun (author), Ge, Ligang (author), Pang, Jianxin (author), Huang, Yanlong (author)Bipedal locomotion has been widely studied in recent years, where passive safety (i.e., a biped rapidly brakes without falling) is deemed to be a pivotal problem. To realize safe 3-D walking, existing works resort to nonlinear optimization techniques based on simplified dynamics models, requiring hand-tuned reference trajectories. In this...journal article 2023

Ampudia Hernandez, Ricardo (author), Xu, M. (author), Huang, Yanqiu (author), Zuniga, Marco (author)In this paper, we propose a new approach where drones attain accurate localization by fusing information from artificial lighting and their embedded inertial and barometer sensors. Our system is able to provide accurate drone localization without the use of radios, GPS or cameras. We evaluate our framework, dubbed Firefly, with a testbed...conference paper 2023

Huang, L.J. (author), Mulders, S.P. (author), Taschner, E. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)In most current offshore wind farms, the turbines are controlled greedily, neglecting any coupling by wake effects with other turbines. By neglecting these effects of aerodynamic interactions, the power production performance is substantially reduced. Besides the well-known wake steering and dynamic induction control wake control strategies, a...conference paper 2023

Huang, J. (author), Stoter, J.E. (author), Nan, L. (author)Symmetry widely exists in nature and man-made shapes, but it is unavoidably distorted during the process of growth, design, digitalization, and reconstruction steps. To enhance symmetry, traditional methods follow the detect-then-symmetrize paradigm, which is sensitive to noise in the detection phase, resulting in ambiguities for the...journal article 2023
