Nikookar, H. (author), Xu, T. (author), Lu, H. (author)Signal fading due to multi-path propagation is one of the major impairments to meet the demands of next generation wireless networks for high data rate services. To mitigate the fading effects, time, frequency, and spatial diversity techniques or their hybrid can be used. Among different types of diversity techniques, spatial diversity is of...book chapter 2010

Xu, J. (author), Broekens, D.J. (author), Hindriks, K.V. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)Mood contagion is an automatic mechanism that induces a congruent mood state by means of the observation of another person's emotional expression. In this paper, we address the question whether robot mood displayed during an imitation game can (a) be recognized by participants and (b) produce contagion effects. Robot mood was displayed by...conference paper 2014

Xu, D. (author), Zlatanova, S. (author)Database systems are continuously extending their capabilities to store, process and analyse 3D data. Topological relationships which describe the interaction of objects in space is one of the important spatial issues. However, spatial operators for 3D objects are still insufficient. In this paper we present the development of a new 3D...conference paper 2013

Lu, Q. (author), Xu, W. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author)We report a computational 'alloy by design' approach which can significantly accelerate the design process and substantially reduce the development costs. This approach allows simultaneously optimization of alloy composition and heat treatment parameters based on the integration of thermodynamic, thermo-kinetics and a genetic algorithm...conference paper 2016

Liu, L. (author), Xu, W. (author), Penard, W. (author), Zlatanova, S. (author)In this paper, we leverage spatial model to process indoor localization results and then improve the track consisting of measured locations. We elaborate different parts of spatial model such as geometry, topology and semantics, and then present how they contribute to the processing of indoor tracks. The initial results of our experiment reveal...conference paper 2015

Weerheijm, J. (author), Lu, Y. (author), Xu, J. (author)This paper presents a numerical modelling study on the simulation of the cracking process and fracture energy in concrete under high strain rate. To capture the stress wave effect and the damage evolution at the meso-length scale, both a homogeneous model with a millimetreresolution mesh and an explicit heterogeneous mesoscale model with random...conference paper 2013

Xu, Y. (author), Ge, X. (author), Theuwissen, A.J.P. (author)In a 4T pixel, the transfer gate (TG) “OFF” surface potential is one of the important parameters, which determines the pinned photodiode (PPD) full well capacity. The feed-forward effect measurement is a powerful tool to characterize the relationship of the PPD injection potential and the feed-forward electrons. In this paper, a parameter Vb is...conference paper 2015

Xu, M. (author), Van Overloop, P.J. (author), Van de Giesen, N.C. (author)Due to land subsidence and sea level rise, salt intrusion in delta areas increases. This is a potential thread for agriculture in these areas. To investigate this thread and measures that can counteract on it, numerical models are developed to mimic the behavior of the water system under different strategies and scenarios. This behavior is...conference paper 2011

Xu, Luyan (author), Zhuang, Mengdie (author), Gadiraju, Ujwal (author)Understanding the influence of users' opinions on their search behavior together with their inherent biases in web search has garnered widespread interest in recent times. This is largely due to the implications of promoting critical thinking, explaining phenomena such as political polarization, or the manifestation of echo chambers. It is...conference paper 2021

Xu, Z. (author), Zuo, Y. (author), Ye, G. (author)In this work, a numerical model is proposed to study chloride transport in alkali-activated materials. This model is based on multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann method, where particle distribution function is introduced to simulate the chloride binding and diffusion. This model takes into account diffusion, homogenous reaction between...conference paper 2021

(author), Schlangen, E. (author)Soft inclusions, such as capsules and other particulate admixtures are increasingly being used in cementitious materials for functional purposes (i.e. self-healing and self-sensing of concrete).

Xu, Y. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Strain hardening cementitious composites are a class of cementitious materials showing metal-like (i.e. pseudo-plastic) behavior in tension due to their multiple cracking ability. This is commonly achieved through use of fiber reinforcement (such as PVA) or, similarly, textile reinforcement (TRC). Increasing the ductility is important in...conference paper 2019
