Hunziker, J.W. (author), Slob, E.C. (author), Fan, Y. (author), Snieder, R. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Interferometry by multidimensional deconvolution applied to Controlled-Source Electromagnetic data replaces the medium above the receivers by a homogeneous halfspace, suppresses the direct field and redatums the source positions to the receiver locations. In that sense, the airwave and any other interactions of the signal with the air-water...conference paper 2012

Fan, S. (author), Li, M. (author)Concrete cracking is inevitable, and can be the result of one or a combination of factors such as dry shrinkage, thermal contraction, fatigue, and embedded steel corrosion. The presence of cracks leads to further deterioration, service life reduction of concrete infrastructure, and frequent maintenance and repairs. These challenges can be...conference paper 2013

(author), Boller, K.J. (author)We report on a novel type of laser in which a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) receives frequency-selective feedback from a glass-waveguide circuit. The laser we present here is based on InP for operation in the 1.55 µm wavelength range. The Si3N4/SiO2 glass waveguide circuit comprises two sequential high-Q ring resonators. Adiabatic...conference paper 2014

Fan, Yi (author)In this paper I examine the long-term consequences of adversity on consumption and financial behaviour, using the largest forced migration experiment in history. From 1966 to 1978, 17 million urban youths in China, mostly junior or senior high school graduates, were sent to the countryside to do farm work for an average of three to four years...conference paper 2017

Zhao, Jiaqi (author), Fan, Zhihong (author), Xiong, Jianbo (author)The error function solution of Fick’s second law assumes the constant surface chloride concentration, when it is used to calculate the apparent average chloride diffusion coefficient in concrete during the exposure period. However, the surface chloride concentration in concrete often vary with time. The purpose of this study is to investigate...conference paper 2021

Fan, K. (author), Qian, Q.K. (author), Chan, E.H.W. (author)Gross Floor Area (GFA) concession scheme, as a planning incentive, is developed from the notion of “make developers pay” in UK in 1990. It rewards developers additional GFA in exchange for public amenities so that government could save that amount of money. This paper carries out a review of GFA concession scheme in Hong Kong and Singapore to...conference paper 2015

Hunziker, J.W. (author), Slob, E.C. (author), Fan, Y. (author), Snieder, R. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)We use interferometry by multidimensional deconvolution in combination with synthetic aperture sources in 3D to suppress the airwave and the direct field, and to decrease source uncertainty in marine Controlled-Source electromagnetics. We show with this numerical study that the method works for very large receiver spacing distances, even though...conference paper 2013

Xu, H. (author), Yu, M. (author), Huang, H. (author), Fan, Y. (author)The original urban planning can never meet the requirements of the rapid development and the increasing population in big cities in China. The best way to solve this problem is to develop the underground space (including tunnels). With the exhaustion and saturation of the shallow underground space, the development of urban area is more and more...conference paper 2015

Jouvaeian, Amirhossein (author), Fan, Q. (author), Motz, Mario (author), Ausserlechner, Udo (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)Magnetic current sensors are widely used in applications where galvanic isolation and wide bandwidth (BW) are desired, such as in switched-mode power supplies and motor drivers. By using Hall plates for low frequencies and pick-up coils for high frequencies, hybrid magnetic sensors can achieve high resolution (tens of textmA) over a wide...conference paper 2023

Zhang, H. (author), Berkhout, Marco (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author), Fan, Q. (author)Class-D amplifiers (CDAs) are widely used in audio applications where a high power efficiency is required. As most audio sources are digital nowadays, implementing digital-input CDAs results in higher levels of integration and lower cost. However, prior open-loop digital-input CDAs suffer from high jitter sensitivity and output-stage...conference paper 2023

Fan, Ke (author), Wei, Gu (author), Qian, QK (author), Chan, Edwin (author)Green building (GB) policies have been implemented to promote GB and address climate change. Most of the existing literatures have studied the costs and benefits of developing GB, without considerations of GB policies’ impacts. This paper aims to study costs and benefits of implementing GB policy from developers’ perspective. It takes the Gross...conference paper 2017

(author)Magnetic current sensors are used in switched-mode power supplies and motor drivers, where both galvanic isolation and wide bandwidth (BW) are desired. In CMOS, Hall-effect sensors are widely used, but their resistance results in a fundamental trade-off between BW and resolution.

Chen, Minggang (author), Zhang, H. (author), Fan, Q. (author)Silicon MOSFETs-based medium-power (< 50W) Class-D amplifiers (CDAs) switching in the MHz range have gained popularity in recent years, which achieves better linearity thanks to a higher loop gain in the audio band while enabling the use of LC filters with higher cut-off frequencies. However, for high-power (>100 W) CDAs, such switching...conference paper 2023

Cui, Z. (author), Fan, X. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)In this paper, we apply the Eshelby's solution to study the effect of passivation layer on electromigration (EM) failure in a conductor. The passivation layer is considered as an elastic material, not a rigid layer anymore. Thus, the deformation and stress evolution in the conductor during EM are related to the mechanical property of the...conference paper 2023
