Improvement on bacteria-induced calcium mineralization ability of Bacillus pseudofirmus by an integrated high-throughput screening strategy

Zhang, J.L. (author), Deng, X. (author), Feng, X. (author), Han, N.X. (author), Jonkers, H.M. (author)

The CaCO3-mineralizing bacteria from different taxonomic groups have shown potential in restoration of construction material such as concretes, cements and stony materials. However, these strains are far from the demand of practical application due to some shortages, including the low mineralizing capacity. In this work, an integrated high...

Degree-biased random walk for large-scale network embedding

Zhang, Yunyi (author), Shi, Zhan (author), Feng, Dan (author), Zhan, X. (author)

Network embedding aims at learning node representation by preserving the network topology. Previous embedding methods do not scale for large real-world networks which usually contain millions of nodes. They generally adopt a one-size-fits-all strategy to collect information, resulting in a large amount of redundancy. In this paper, we propose...

Macro-meso dynamic analysis of railway transition zone: Hybrid DEM/FDM simulation and experimental validation

Shi, Can (author), Zhao, Chunfa (author), Yang, Yang (author), Guo, Y. (author), Zhang, Xu (author), Feng, Yang (author)

To probe into the mechanical behaviour of railway transition zone from the macro-meso aspects, a numerical model of transition zone is built that hybrids the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Finite Difference Method (FDM). The DEM is utilised to simulate the ballast bed and sleeper, because it can consider the realistic ballast shapes and...

Feng, Cuijie (author), Welles, L. (author), Zhang, X. (author), Pronk, M. (author), de Graaff, D.R. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author)

Phosphorus has been successfully eliminated from wastewater by biological techniques of enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) process, which relies on a specific microbiota of polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs) that accumulate phosphate as polyphosphates (poly-P). Most methods for quantification of poly-P pools suffer from...

Barrier Lypunov functions-based nonsingular fixed-time switching control for strict-feedback nonlinear dynamics with full state constraints

Zhang, Wenqian (author), Dong, Wenhan (author), Lv, Maolong (author), Liu, Zongcheng (author), Zhou, Yang (author), Feng, Haoming (author)

This work proposes a nonsingular adaptive fixed-time switching control method for a class of strict-feedback nonlinear dynamics subject to full state constraints. The peculiarity of this design lies in overcoming the singularity issue that typically appears in the existing backstepping-based fixed-time control methods caused by the iterative...

Femoral neck fractures (FNFs) in young patients usually result from high-energy violence, and the vertical transcervical type is typically challenging for its instability. FNFs are commonly treated with three cannulated screws (CS), but the role of screws type on fixation effects (FE) is unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the...
