Zhong, Shaohong (author), Scarinci, Andrea (author), Cicirello, A. (author)The design of complex engineering systems is an often long and articulated process that highly relies on engineers’ expertise and professional judgment. As such, the typical pitfalls of activities involving the human factor often manifest themselves in terms of lack of completeness or exhaustiveness of the analysis, inconsistencies across...journal article 2023

Wang, Shimin (author), Zhang, Hongwei (author), Baldi, S. (author), Zhong, Renxin (author)This article studies the leaderless consensus problem of heterogeneous multiple networked Euler-Lagrange systems subject to persistent disturbances with unknown constant biases, amplitudes, initial phases, and frequencies. The main characteristic of this study is that none of the agents has information of a common reference model or of a...journal article 2023

(author), van der Meide, Marc (author), Zhong, Xiaoyang (author), Zhang, Chunbo (author)In terms of mass, construction materials and construction and demolition waste make up the largest part of humankind's material and waste footprints, particularly after an energy transition has largely phased out fossil energy. However, a circular use of building and construction materials is fraught with challenges.journal article 2023

Qin, Xi (author), Zhong, Cheng (author), Lin, H.X. (author)Influence maximization (IM) is a very important issue in social network diffusion analysis. The topology of real social network is large-scale, dynamic, and heterogeneous. The heterogeneity, and continuous expansion and evolution of social network pose a challenge to find influential users. Existing IM algorithms usually assume that social...journal article 2023

Joseph, G. (author), Zhong, Chen (author), Gursoy, M. Cenk (author), Velipasalar, Senem (author), Varshney, Pramod (author)We address the problem of sequentially selecting and observing processes from a given set to find the anomalies among them. The decision-maker observes a subset of the processes at any given time instant and obtains a noisy binary indicator of whether or not the corresponding process is anomalous. We develop an anomaly detection algorithm that...journal article 2023

(author), Cao, Zhixing (author), Wang, Yiming (author)Living organisms are capable of dynamically changing their structures for adaptive functions through sophisticated reaction-diffusion processes. Here we show how active supramolecular hydrogels with programmable lifetimes and macroscopic structures can be created by relying on a simple reaction-diffusion strategy. Two hydrogel precursors ...journal article 2023

Zhong, Haobai (author), Huang, Weidong (author), Lin, P. (author), Zhou, L. (author), Lv, Quan (author)With the increasing shortage of resources, the reuse of recycled asphalt pavements (RAP) in pavement engineering is considered as a sustainable technology. Challenges posed by common extraction and recovery methods may result in misjudgment of asphalt pavement performance. In this study, we investigate the optimization of extraction and...journal article 2023

So-called fatty acid photodecarboxylases (FAPs) represent interesting catalysts for the conversion of natural fatty acids into hydrocarbons thereby giving access to alkanes from renewable feedstock. Today, however, only few FAPs are...journal article 2023
