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

Zhang, Yu (author), Wang, Yue (author), Tian, Zhi (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author), Zhang, Gong (author)This paper proposes a super-resolution harmonic retrieval method for uncorrelated strictly non-circular signals, whose covariance and pseudo-covariance present Toeplitz and Hankel structures, respectively. Accordingly, the augmented covariance matrix constructed by the covariance and pseudo-covariance matrices is not only low rank but also...conference paper 2023

Wang, F. (author), Tian, Zhi (author), Fang, Jun (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)This paper concerns wideband direction of arrival (DoA) estimation with sparse linear arrays (SLAs). We rely on the assumption that the power spectrum of the wideband sources is the same up to a scaling factor, which could in theory allow us to resolve not only more sources than the number of antennas but also more sources than the number of...conference paper 2020

Wang, Yue (author), Zhang, Yu (author), Tian, Zhi (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author), Zhang, Gong (author)This paper develops an enhanced low-rank structured covariance reconstruction (LRSCR) method based on the decoupled atomic norm minimization (D-ANM), for super-resolution two-dimensional (2D) harmonic retrieval with multiple measurement vectors. This LRSCR-D-ANM approach exploits a potential structure hidden in the covariance by transferring the...conference paper 2020

Zhang, Yu (author), Wang, Yue (author), Tian, Zhi (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author), Zhang, Gong (author)This paper aims at developing low-complexity solutions for super-resolution two-dimensional (2D) harmonic retrieval via covariance reconstruction. Given the collected sample covariance, a novel gridless compressed sensing approach is designed based on the atomic norm minimization (ANM) technique. The key is to perform a redundancy reduction (RR)...conference paper 2020

Fang, G. (author), Tian, Yingjun (author), Weightman, Andrew (author), Wang, C.C. (author)Soft robots can safely interact with environments because of their mechanical compliance. Self-collision is also employed in the modern design of soft robots to enhance their performance during different tasks. However, developing an efficient and reliable simulator that can handle the collision response well, is still a challenging task in...conference paper 2022

Wang, X. (author), Tian, Tian (author), Zhu, Jihua (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author)In the case of unwritten languages, acoustic models cannot be trained in the standard way, i.e., using speech and textual transcriptions. Recently, several methods have been proposed to learn speech representations using images, i.e., using visual grounding. Existing studies have focused on scene images. Here, we investigate whether fine...conference paper 2021

Zhang, Yu (author), Wang, Yue (author), Tian, Zhi (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author), Zhang, Gong (author)This paper proposes an efficient direction of departure (DOD) and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation method for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems. For uncorrelated scenarios, the redundancy of the covariance matrix is first exploited by establishing its concise representation through redundancy reduction, which transforms the...journal article 2022

Zhu, C. (author), Guo, Leicheng (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), Tian, Bo (author), Wang, Xianye (author), He, Qing (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)The morphology of the Yangtze Estuary has changed substantially at decadal time scales in response to natural processes, local human interference and reduced sediment supply. Due to its high sediment load, the morphodynamic response time of the estuary is short, providing a valuable semi-natural system to evaluate large-scale estuarine...journal article 2019

Wang, Shuai (author), Toumi, Ralf (author), Ye, Qinghua (author), Ke, Q. (author), Bricker, J.D. (author), Tian, Zhan (author), Sun, Laixiang (author)It has been shown that the proportion of intense tropical cyclones (TCs) has been increasing together with a poleward migration of TC track. However, their relative importance to TC surge at landfall remains unknown. Here we examine the sensitivity of TC surge in Shanghai to landfall location and intensity with a new dynamical modelling...journal article 2021

Han, Minghao (author), Tian, Yuan (author), Zhang, Lixian (author), Wang, J. (author), Pan, W. (author)Reinforcement learning (RL) is promising for complicated stochastic nonlinear control problems. Without using a mathematical model, an optimal controller can be learned from data evaluated by certain performance criteria through trial-and-error. However, the data-based learning approach is notorious for not guaranteeing stability, which is...journal article 2021

(author), Wang, Shuai (author)Compound flooding is generated when two or more flood drivers occur simultaneously or in close succession. Multiple drivers can amplify each other and lead to greater impacts than when they occur in isolation. A better understanding of the interdependence between flood drivers would facilitate a more accurate assessment of compound flood risk...journal article 2022

Huan, Y. (author), Tian, Yubin (author), Wang, Dianpeng (author)Simulations are often used to investigate the flow structures and system dynamics of complex natural phenomena and systems, which are significantly harder to obtain from experiments or theoretical analyses. Surrogate models are employed to mimic the results of simulations by reducing computational costs. In order to reduce the amount of...journal article 2022

Wang, Zhaojun (author), Tian, B. (author), Boom, Remko (author), van der Goot, Atze Jan (author)Dense calcium caseinate dispersions can be transformed into hierarchically fibrous structures by shear deformation. This transformation can be attributed to the intrinsic properties of calcium caseinate. Depending on the dispersion preparation method, a certain amount of air gets entrapped in the sheared protein matrix. Although anisotropy is...journal article 2019
