Sun, Zhuo (author), van de Giessen, M. (author), Lelieveldt, B.P.F. (author), Staring, M. (author)Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is an intermediate stage between healthy and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). To enable early intervention it is important to identify the MCI subjects that will convert to AD in an early stage. In this paper, we provide a new method to distinguish between MCI patients that either convert to Alzheimer’s Disease (MCIc)...journal article 2017

Sun, Y. (author), Hein, C.M. (author), Song, Kun (author)European, American, and Japanese debates on public housing served as models for those in modern China, and Chinese scholars and professionals, with the support of the KMT (Kuomintang), developed public housing as a sign of innovation in both societal reform and building typology. Using the under-researched case of Tianjin's public housing...journal article 2017

Yang, D. (author), Sun, Yimin (author), Di Stefano, D. (author), Turrin, M. (author)The comparison of various competing design concepts during conceptual architectural design is commonly needed for achieving a good final concept. For this, computational design exploration is a key approach. Unfortunately, most<br/>of existing research tends to skip this crucial process, and purely focuses on the late-stage design optimization...conference paper 2017

Yang, D. (author), Sun, Y (author), Di Stefano, D. (author), Turrin, M. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author)Surrogate-based Optimization is a useful approach when the objective function is computationally expensive to evaluate, compared to Simulation-based Optimization. In the surrogate-based method, analytically tractable “surrogate models” (also known as “Response Surface Models — RSMs” or “metamodels”), are constructed and validated for each...conference paper 2016

Sun, H. (author), Mašín, D. (author), Boháč, J. (author)Compacted bentonite is often planned as an engineered barrier material between host rock and canister in nuclear waste disposal repositories thanks to its favourable swelling characteristics and low permeability. This study deals with the effects of initial dry density and vertical stress on the swelling behaviour of compacted bentonite under...conference paper 2016

(author)Optimisation or real time control (RTC) studies in wastewater systems increasingly require rapid simulations of sewer systems in extensive catchments. To reduce the simulation time calibrated simplified models are applied, with the performance generally based on the goodness of fit of the calibration. In this research the performance of three...journal article 2016

Sun, F. (author)The ultimate objective of this work is to gain a better understanding of the plastic behavior of rough metal surfaces under contact loading. Attention in this thesis focuses on the study of single and multiple asperities with micrometer scale dimensions, a scale at which plasticity is known to be size dependent. The asperities have very simple...doctoral thesis 2016

Sun, Junzi (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Aircraft mass is an important parameter in many ways, either to build aircraft performance models, to predict flight trajectories, or to simulate air traffic. Mass data is usually considered as sensitive information for airlines and is, therefore, not disclosed to researchers publicly. In this paper, we use two methods to infer the mass of an...conference paper 2016
