Fu, C. (author), Popescu, I. (author), Wang, C. (author), Mynett, A.E. (author), Zhang, F. (author)During winter the Yellow River in China is frequently subjected to ice flood disasters. Possible dike breaking due to ice floods poses a serious threat to the part of the region located along the river, in particular the Ning–Meng reach (including Ningxia Hui and the Inner Mongolia autonomous regions). Due to its special geographical location...journal article 2014

Sun, Q. (author), Wang, Y. (author), Yang, J. (author), Qiu, Y. (author), Zhang, H. (author)This paper presents a method to control chaotic behavior of a typical Smart Grid based on generalized fuzzy hyperbolic model (GFHM). As more and more distributed generations (DG) are incorporated into the Smart Grid, the chaotic behavior occurs increasingly. To verify the behavior, a dynamic model which describes a power system with DG is...journal article 2014

Wang, X. (author), Xing, F. (author), Zhang, M. (author), Han, N. (author), Qian, Z. (author)The recovery behavior for strength and impermeability of cementitious composites embedded with organic microcapsules was investigated in this study. Mortar specimens were formed by mixing the organic microcapsules and a catalyst with cement and sand. The mechanical behaviors of flexural and compression strength were tested. The results showed...journal article 2013

(author)During the last decades, large-scale land use changes took place in the Hailiutu River catchment, a semi-arid area in northwest China. These changes had significant impacts on the water resources in the area. Insights into groundwater and surface water interactions and vegetation-water dependencies help to understand these impacts and formulate...journal article 2013

Zhang, S. (author), Zhao, Xunyi (author), Wang, H. (author)Progress has been made in how to suppress epidemic spreading on temporal networks via blocking all contacts of targeted nodes or node pairs. In this work, we develop contact blocking strategies that remove a fraction of contacts from a temporal (time evolving) human contact network to mitigate the spread of a Susceptible-Infected-Recovered...journal article 2022

Wang, Jian (author), Qin, Hongbo (author), Chen, Junfu (author), Yang, Daoguo (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)In this study, first-principles calculations were utilized to investigate the lattice constants, elastic constants, and mechanical properties of gold–copper (Au–Cu) intermetallic compounds (IMCs), including AuCu3, AuCu, and Au3Cu. We also verified the direction dependence of the Young’s modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson’s ratio of the...journal article 2022

Wang, T. (author), Dong, Jianfei (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)Objective: The macroscopic singlet oxygen (MSO) model for quantifying the light-induced singlet oxygen ($^{1}O_{2}$) always contain a set of nonlinear dynamic equations and therefore are generally difficult to be applied. This work was devoted to analyze and simplify this dynamic model. Methods: Firstly, the nonlinearity of the MSO model was...journal article 2022

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

Ao, Yibin (author), Tan, Liyao (author), Zhong, Jinglin (author), Zhang, Hongying (author), Wang, Yan (author), Wang, T. (author)Earthquake is one of the most serious natural disasters. Taking scientific and reasonable earthquake preparedness measures can effectively reduce casualties and economic losses caused by earthquakes. It is important to understand how residents choose such earthquake preparedness measures to guide them accordingly. However, the current research...journal article 2022

Yang, Z. (author), Zhang, P. (author), Wang, L. (author)With dynamic behaviour different from that of traditional discretely supported tracks, continuously supported embedded rail systems (ERSs) have been increasingly used in railway bridges, level crossings, trams, and high-speed lines. However, studies on ERSs have been limited, and none of them have addressed the wheel-rail impact-induced dynamic...journal article 2021

Song, Yang (author), Zhang, Mingjie (author), Wang, H. (author)The wind deflection of overhead contact lines (OCLs) challenges the stable and safe operation of electrified railways. The steady wind causes the static deflection of the contact line, while the fluctuating wind leads to the OCL buffeting. This paper performs a response spectrum analysis of the wind deflection caused by the combined effects...journal article 2021

Wang, H. (author), Zhang, H. (author), Liu, X. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author), Leng, Zhen (author)Crumb rubber modified bitumen (CRMB) can be regarded as a binary composite system in which swollen rubber particles are embedded in the bitumen matrix. The current study aims to further improve the prediction accuracy of micromechanical models for CRMB by considering the interparticle interactions. To accomplish this goal, two different...journal article 2021

Wang, F. (author), Zhang, Lu (author), Wei, L. (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)During drinking water treatment, advanced oxidation process (AOP) with O3 and H2O2 may result in by-products, residual H2O2 and BrO3−. The water containing H2O2 and BrO3− often flows into subsequent granular activated carbon (GAC) filters. A concentrated H2O2 solution can be used as GAC modification reagent at 60 °C to improve its adsorption...journal article 2021

Wang, Weizheng (author), Wang, Q. (author), Zhang, J. (author), Zuniga, Marco (author)Positioning based on visible light is gaining significant attention. But most existing studies rely on a key requirement: The object of interest needs to carry an optical receiver (camera or photodiode). We remove this requirement and investigate the possibility of achieving accurate positioning in a passive manner—that is, without requiring...journal article 2020
