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...journal article 2024

Krishnan, S. (author), Aydin, N.Y. (author), Comes, M. (author)Increasing frequency of climate-related disruptions requires transformational responses over the lifecycles of interconnected urban systems with short- and long-term change dynamics. However, the aftermath of disruptions is often characterised by short-sighted decision-making, neglecting long-term urban shifts. In this study, we present a...journal article 2024

Yu, C. (author), Van Zuijlen, Mitchell J.P. (author), Spoiala, C. (author), Pont, S.C. (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author), Hurlbert, Anya (author)The spectral shape, irradiance, direction, and diffuseness of daylight vary regularly throughout the day. The variations in illumination and their effect on the light reflected from objects may in turn provide visual information as to the time of day. We suggest that artists' color choices for paintings of outdoor scenes might convey this...journal article 2024

Wu, C.L. (author), Wagterveld, R. M. (author), van Breukelen, B.M. (author)Petroleum products have contaminated groundwater with harmful organic compounds, such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX). Collecting and analyzing polluted groundwater samples is expensive and undertaken infrequently. However, quick remedial action in case of unexpected events requires continuous monitoring. In-situ water...journal article 2024

(author), van Halem, D. (author), Laureni, M. (author)Nitrate leaching from agricultural soils is increasingly found in groundwater, a primary source of drinking water worldwide. This nitrate influx can potentially stimulate the biological oxidation of iron in anoxic groundwater reservoirs. Nitrate-dependent iron-oxidizing (NDFO) bacteria have been extensively studied in laboratory settings, yet...journal article 2024

Zhang, S. (author), Li, Yuhang (author), Bannenberg, L.J. (author), Liu, Ming (author), Ganapathy, S. (author), Wagemaker, M. (author)Formation cycling is a critical process aimed at improving the performance of lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries during subsequent use. Achieving highly reversible Li-metal anodes, which would boost battery energy density, is a formidable challenge. Here, formation cycling and its impact on the subsequent cycling are largely unexplored. Through...journal article 2024

Liu, J. (author), Borja, Pablo (author), Della Santina, C. (author)This work concerns the application of physics-informed neural networks to the modeling and control of complex robotic systems. Achieving this goal requires extending physics-informed neural networks to handle nonconservative effects. These learned models are proposed to combine with model-based controllers originally developed with first...journal article 2024
