Background Solid bio-wastes (or organic residues) are worldwide produced in high amount and increasingly considered bioenergy containers rather than waste products. A complete bioprocess from recalcitrant solid wastes to methane (SW2M) via anaerobic digestion (AD) is believed to be a sustainable way to utilize solid bio-wastes. However, the...

Reference-free time-based localization for an asynchronous target

Wang, Y. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)

Low-complexity least-squares (LS) estimators based on time-of-arrival (TOA) or time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) measurements have been developed to locate a target node with the help of anchors (nodes with known positions). They require to select a reference anchor in order to cancel nuisance parameters or relax stringent synchronization...

Mitigate SIR epidemic spreading via contact blocking in temporal networks

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...

Influence of clustering coefficient on network embedding in link prediction

Fernández Robledo, O. (author), Zhan, X. (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Wang, H. (author)

Multiple network embedding algorithms have been proposed to perform the prediction of missing or future links in complex networks. However, we lack the understanding of how network topology affects their performance, or which algorithms are more likely to perform better given the topological properties of the network. In this paper, we...

Temporal-topological properties of higher-order evolving networks

Ceria, A. (author), Wang, H. (author)

Human social interactions are typically recorded as time-specific dyadic interactions, and represented as evolving (temporal) networks, where links are activated/deactivated over time. However, individuals can interact in groups of more than two people. Such group interactions can be represented as higher-order events of an evolving network....

Quantification of the Li-ion diffusion over an interface coating in all-solid-state batteries via NMR measurements

Liu, M. (author), Wang, C. (author), Zhao, C. (author), van der Maas, E.L. (author), Lin, Kui (author), Arszelewska, Violetta (author), Li, Baohua (author), Ganapathy, S. (author), Wagemaker, M. (author)

A key challenge for solid-state-batteries development is to design electrode-electrolyte interfaces that combine (electro)chemical and mechanical stability with facile Li-ion transport. However, while the solid-electrolyte/electrode interfacial area should be maximized to facilitate the transport of high electrical currents on the one hand,...

A Local Particle Filter Using Gamma Test Theory for High-Dimensional State Spaces

Wang, Z. (author), Hut, R.W. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author)

Particle filters are non-Gaussian filters, which means that the assumption that the error distribution of the ensemble should be Gaussian is unnecessary. Like the ensemble Kalman filter, particle filters are based on the Monte Carlo approximation to represent the distribution of model states. It requires a substantial number of particles to...

High dielectric barium titanate porous scaffold for efficient Li metal cycling in anode-free cells

Wang, C. (author), Liu, M. (author), Thijs, M.A. (author), Ooms, F.G.B. (author), Ganapathy, S. (author), Wagemaker, M. (author)

Li metal batteries are being intensively investigated as a means to achieve higher energy density when compared with standard Li-ion batteries. However, the formation of dendritic and mossy Li metal microstructures at the negative electrode during stripping/plating cycles causes electrolyte decomposition and the formation of electronically...

Core–shell structured gold nanoparticles as carrier for ¹⁶⁶Dy/¹⁶⁶Ho in vivo generator

Wang, R. (author), Ponsard, Bernard (author), Wolterbeek, H.T. (author), Denkova, A.G. (author)

Background: Radionuclide therapy (RNT) has become a very important treatment modality for cancer nowadays. Comparing with other cancer treatment options, sufficient efficacy could be achieved in RNT with lower toxicity. β⁻ emitters are frequently used in RNT due to the long tissue penetration depth of the β⁻ particles....

Short- and long-term temporal network prediction based on network memory

Zou, L. (author), Ceria, A. (author), Wang, H. (author)

Temporal networks are networks whose topology changes over time. Two nodes in a temporal network are connected at a discrete time step only if they have a contact/interaction at that time. The classic temporal network prediction problem aims to predict the temporal network one time step ahead based on the network observed in the past of a...

Predicting nodal influence via local iterative metrics

Zhang, S. (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Wang, H. (author)

Nodal spreading influence is the capability of a node to activate the rest of the network when it is the seed of spreading. Combining nodal properties (centrality metrics) derived from local and global topological information respectively has been shown to better predict nodal influence than using a single metric. In this work, we investigate...

Change analysis in structural laser scanning point clouds: The baseline method

Shen, Y. (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author), Wang, J. (author)

A method is introduced for detecting changes from point clouds that avoids registration. For many applications, changes are detected between two scans of the same scene obtained at different times. Traditionally, these scans are aligned to a common coordinate system having the disadvantage that this registration step introduces additional...

Analysis of Bridge Transition Zones in Railways Considering the Moisture Condition of the Ballast and Subballast

Wang, Haoyu (author), Silvast, Mika (author), Markine, V.L. (author), Wiljanen, Bruce (author)

Transition zones in railway tracks are the locations with considerable changes in vertical support structures, e.g., near bridges. Due to possible water flow constrictions in transition zone structures, there is frequently an increased moisture level in the ballast/subballast layers, which is a potential source of track degradation. This paper...

Zhu, Zhengqiu (author), Qiu, S. (author), Chen, Bin (author), Wang, Rongxiao (author), Qiu, Xiaogang (author)

The accurate prediction of hazardous gas dispersion process is essential to air quality monitoring and the emergency management of contaminant gas leakage incidents in a chemical cluster. Conventional Gaussian-based dispersion models can seldom give accurate predictions due to inaccurate input parameters and the computational errors. In order...

Integration of Traffic Information into the Path Planning among Moving Obstacles

Wang, Z. (author), Steenbruggen, John (author), Zlatanova, S. (author)

This paper investigates the integration of traffic information (TI) into the routing in the presence of moving obstacles. When traffic accidents occur, the incidents could generate different kinds of hazards (e.g., toxic plumes), which make certain parts of the road network inaccessible. On the other hand, the first responders, who are...
