Sharma, S. (author), Rigutto, Marcello S. (author), Baur, Richard (author), Agarwal, Umang (author), Zuidema, Erik (author), Balestra, Salvador R.G. (author), Calero, Sofia (author), Dubbeldam, David (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author)Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory (IAST) is a common method for modelling mixture adsorption isotherms based on pure component isotherms. When the adsorbent has distinct adsorption sites, the segregated version of IAST (SIAST) provides improved adsorbed loadings compared to IAST. We have adopted the concept of SIAST and applied it to an explicit...journal article 2023

Ferreira de Brito, B.F. (author), Agarwal, Achin (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author)Autonomous navigation in dense traffic scenarios remains challenging for autonomous vehicles (AVs) because the intentions of other drivers are not directly observable and AVs have to deal with a wide range of driving behaviors. To maneuver through dense traffic, AVs must be able to reason how their actions affect others (interaction model)...journal article 2022
