Chen, G. (author), Zhang, Ke (author), Wang, Sheng (author), Jia, T. (author)Physically-based hydrological-geotechnical modeling at large scales is difficult, especially due to the time-consuming nature of flow routing and 3D soil stability models. Although parallelization techniques are commonly used for each model individually, there is currently no concurrent parallelization strategy for both. This study proposed...journal article 2023

Jia, W. (author), Markine, V.L. (author), Goncalves Carvalho, M.D. (author), Connolly, David P. (author), Guo, Y. (author)Differential railway track settlement can result in ballast voids, leading to sleepers that hang from the rail and are no longer supported by the ballast. These hanging sleepers are damage for track component. As a solution, this paper proposes and investigates a new concept sleeper with a wedge-shaped geometry, intended to stimulate the...journal article 2023

Ye, Hanting (author), Lan, G. (author), Jia, Jinyuan (author), Wang, Q. (author)Smartphones are moving towards the fullscreen design for better user experience. This trend forces front cameras to be placed under screen, leading to Under-Screen Cameras (USC). Accordingly, a small area of the screen is made translucent to allow light to reach the USC. In this paper, we utilize the translucent screen's features to...book chapter 2023

Lin, Xu Jie (author), Liu, Er Jian (author), Yang, Y. (author), Jia, Xiang Yu (author), Yan, Xiao Yong (author)Heavy trucks which undertake the majority of freight volume play an important role in urban freight systems. By analyzing heavy truck trip data, we find a superlinear scaling relationship for heavy truck trips and a sublinear scaling relationship for heavy truck numbers relative to urban population size. Although these allometric scaling...journal article 2023
