Xu, Y. (author), Peng, Y. (author), Qian, K. (author), Chan, A.P.C. (author)Public-private partnerships (PPP) can be employed to provide public rental housing for young graduates, which has been urgent to achieve social sustainability in China. However, few studies have been conducted to investigate the financing structure of PPPs, particularly the ratio of private investment, which is important in initiating a PPP...journal article 2015

Zhou, J. (author), Qian, S. (author), Sierra Beltran, M.G. (author), Ye, G. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author), Li, V.C. (author)Nowadays limestone powder and blast furnace slag (BFS) are widely used in concrete as blended materials in cement. The replacement of Portland cement by limestone powder and BFS can lower the cost and enhance the greenness of concrete, since the production of these two materials needs less energy and causes less CO2 emission than Portland cement...journal article 2009

Wang, L. (author), Fang, G. (author), Qian, L. (author), Leeflang, M.A. (author), Duszczyk, J. (author), Zhou, J. (author)Magnesium alloys have, in recent years, been recognized as highly promising biodegradable materials, especially for vascular stent applications. Forming of magnesium alloys into high-precision thin-wall tubes has however presented a technological barrier in the fabrication of vascular stents, because of the poor workability of magnesium at room...journal article 2014

Qian, K. (author), Chan, E.H.W. (author), Khalid, A.G. (author)Delivering green building (GB) projects involve some activities that are atypical in comparison with conventional buildings. Such new activities are characterized by uncertainty, and they incur hidden costs that have not been expected nor are they readily appreciated among the stakeholders. This paper develops a typology and chronology to...journal article 2015

Qian, Q.K. (author), Chan, E.H.W. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author), Lehmann, S. (author)The paper, through a “regenerative” lens, has focused upon a new conceptual game system involving transaction costs (TCs) for creating a more accessible green buildings (GB) market. Individual stakeholders steadfastly guard their own interests in any investment decision, which seldom considers any positive gains to society. Green buildings,...journal article 2015

(author)Gate-tunable high-mobility InSb/In1?xAlxSb quantum wells (QWs) grown on GaAs substrates are reported. The QW two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) channel mobility in excess of 200?000?cm2/V?s is measured at T?=?1.8?K. In asymmetrically remote-doped samples with an HfO2 gate dielectric formed by atomic layer deposition, parallel conduction is...journal article 2015

Deng, Y. (author), Qian, X. (author), Blöte, H.W.J. (author)We formulate a single-cluster Monte Carlo algorithm for the simulation of the random-cluster model. This algorithm is a generalization of the Wolff single-cluster method for the q-state Potts model to noninteger values q>1. Its results for static quantities are in a satisfactory agreement with those of the existing Swendsen-Wang-Chayes-Machta ...journal article 2009

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
