(author)Wheel-rail high-frequency interaction is closely related to the formation of railway short-wave defects. Finite element (FE) method has been widely used to simulate wheel-rail dynamic systems, but its validity in modelling high-frequency interaction has not been fully demonstrated in three dimensions (3D). This work aims at comprehensively...journal article 2024

Wang, J. (author), Li, Runlong (author), Zhang, Xinqi (author), He, Yuan (author)As one of the crucial sensors for environment sensing, frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radars are widely used in modern vehicles for driving assistance/autonomous driving. However, the limited frequency bandwidth and the increasing number of equipped radar sensors would inevitably cause mutual interference, degrading target...journal article 2024

Plastic particles affect N2O release via altering core microbial metabolisms in constructed wetlandsYang, X. (author), Chen, Yi (author), Liu, Tao (author), Zhang, Lu (author), Wang, Hui (author), Chen, Mengli (author), He, Qiang (author), Liu, G. (author), Ju, Feng (author)Constructed wetlands (CWs) have been proven to effectively immobilize plastic particles. However, little is known about the differences in the impact of varying sized plastic particles on nitrous oxide (N<sub>2</sub>O) release, as well as the intervention mechanisms in CWs.

Qu, Yiting (author), He, Xinlei (author), Pierson, Shannon (author), Backes, Michael (author), Zhang, Y. (author), Zannettou, S. (author)The dissemination of hateful memes online has adverse effects on social media platforms and the real world. Detecting hateful memes is challenging, one of the reasons being the evolutionary nature of memes; new hateful memes can emerge by fusing hateful connotations with other cultural ideas or symbols. In this paper, we propose a framework that...conference paper 2023
