Li, G. (author), Hung, H. (author), Bradley Knox, W. (author), Whiteson, S.A. (author)Learning from rewards generated by a human trainer ob- serving the agent in action has been demonstrated to be an effective method for humans to teach an agent to perform challenging tasks. However, how to make the agent learn most efficiently from these kinds of human reward is still under-addressed. In this paper, we investigate the effect of...journal article 2014

Vreeker, R. (author), Li, L. (author), Fang, Y. (author), Appelqvist, I. (author), Mendes, E. (author)In this paper, we study the rehydration properties of air-dried calcium alginate gel beads. Rehydration is shown to depend on alginate source (i.e. mannuronic to guluronic acid ratio) and the salt concentration in the rehydration medium. Rehydration curves are described adequately by the empirical Weibull equation. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction...journal article 2008

Oregui, M. (author), Molodova, M. (author), Nunez, A. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author), Li, Z. (author)This paper presents a feasibility study to determine if the health condition of Insulated Rail Joints (IRJs) can be assessed by examining their dynamic response to impact excitation. First, a reference dynamic behavior is defined in the frequency domain of 50-1200 Hz based on field hammer test measurements performed on a IRJ baseline (i.e., a...journal article 2015

Wang, Y. (author), Li, Q. (author), Eitelberg, G. (author), Veldhuis, L.L.M. (author), Kotsonis, M. (author)Swirl recovery vanes (SRVs) are a set of stationary vanes located downstream from a propeller, which may recover some of the residual swirl from the propeller, hoping for an improvement in both thrust and efficiency. The SRV concept design for a scaled version representing the Fokker 29 propeller is performed in this paper, which may give rise...journal article 2014

Li, Y. (author), McLaughlin, J.B. (author), Kontomaris, K. (author), Portela, L. (author)This paper presents results for the behavior of particle-laden gases in a small Reynolds number vertical channel down flow. Results will be presented for the effects of particle feedback on the gas-phase turbulence and for the concentration profile of the particles. The effects of density ratio, mass loading, and particle inertia will be...journal article 2001

Arias-Cuevas, O. (author), Li, Z. (author), Lewis, R. (author)The adhesion (or available friction) in the wheel–rail contact is the most important parameter for the braking and traction operation of rail vehicles. Since the beginning of railway transportation, sanding from the locomotive has been a common practice to enhance the wheel–rail adhesion. In recent years, sanding from electrical multiple units ...journal article 2009

Khaliq, J. (author), Li, C. (author), Chen, K. (author), Shi, B. (author), Ye, H. (author), Grande, A.M. (author), Yan, H. (author), Reece, M.J. (author)The effect of substitution and oxidation-reduction on the thermal conductivity of perovskite-like layered structure (PLS) ceramics was investigated in relation to mass contrast and non-stoichiometry. Sr (acceptor) was substituted on the A site, while Ta (donor) was substituted on the B site of La2Ti2O7. Substitution in PLS materials creates...journal article 2015

(author)Background Respiratory viral infections follow an unpredictable clinical course in young children ranging from a common cold to respiratory failure. The transition from mild to severe disease occurs rapidly and is difficult to predict. The pathophysiology underlying disease severity has remained elusive. There is an urgent need to better...journal article 2015

Li, C. (author), Li, Q. (author), Van Mieghem, P.F.A. (author), Stanley, H.E. (author), Wang, H. (author)In recent decades, a number of centrality metrics describing network properties of nodes have been proposed to rank the importance of nodes. In order to understand the correlations between centrality metrics and to approximate a high-complexity centrality metric by a strongly correlated low-complexity metric, we first study the correlation...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

Due to the relatively low accuracy of pseudorange observations, the single-epoch GNSS real-time kinematic (RTK) using phase observations can be utilized to...journal article 2015

(author)Micro features with high aspect ratios are one of the commonly encountered geometries found in micro products. In the literature, these structures are often used in demonstrator products machined by a micromilling process. In this paper, the challenges in micromilling thin ribs ith high aspect ratios have been studied. Due to the scaling effect,...journal article 2010

If metric relations were known better, we could more effectively characterize networks by a small set of metrics to discover the association between network properties/metrics and network functioning. In this paper, we investigate the linear correlation coefficients...journal article 2011
