(author), Wang, Zuowen (author), Cheng, Longbiao (author), Zhou, Sheng (author), Liu, Shih Chii (author), Delbruck, Tobi (author)Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are useful in temporal sequence tasks. However, training RNNs involves dense matrix multiplications which require hardware that can support a large number of arithmetic operations and memory accesses. Implementing online training of RNNs on the edge calls for optimized algorithms for an efficient deployment on...journal article 2024

Angst, Ueli M. (author), Rossi, Emanuele (author), Boschmann Käthler, Carolina (author), Mannes, David (author), Trtik, Pavel (author), Elsener, Bernhard (author), Zhou, Z. (author), Strobl, Markus (author)The steel–concrete interface (SCI) is known to play a major role in corrosion of steel in concrete, but a fundamental understanding is still lacking. One reason is that concrete’s opacity complicates the study of internal processes. Here, we report on the application of bimodal X-ray and neutron microtomography as in-situ imaging techniques...journal article 2024

Drdova, Sarka (author), Gao, Min (author), Sambalova, Olga (author), Pauer, Robin (author), Zhou, Zhouping (author), Dimitriadou, Sofia (author), Schmidt-Ott, A. (author), Wang, J. (author)Photocatalyst synthesis typically involves multiple steps, expensive precursors, and solvents. In contrast, spark ablation offers a simple process of electrical discharges in a gap between two electrodes made from a desirable material. This enables a precursor- and waste-free generation of pure metal oxide nanoparticles or mixtures of various...journal article 2024

Qin, G. (author), Jan, A. (author), An, Q. (author), Zhou, H. (author), Rietveld, L.C. (author), Heijman, Sebastiaan (author)Worldwide, a considerable amount of oily wastewater is generated, with oil droplets from 2 to 200 nm that are difficult to separate because of their size and colloidal stability. This study presents a novel approach for effectively separating microemulsions via cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC)-coated alumina (Al2O3) membranes fabricated based on...journal article 2024

(author)An error was made in the definition of the density parameter ρ in Equations 7, 8 and 9 of the original article. It was defined as the bulk density of the aquifer, whereas it should have been the density of pore water. Additionally the density of the aquifer solid matrix ρ<sub>s</sub>, used in equation 11 to compute the retardation factor, was...journal article 2024

Zhou, Jianfeng (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)When a major chemical accident occurs, emergency response is an important measure to reduce accident losses. Some actions in an emergency response may be more important than others in reducing accident losses, so they need to be carried out as a matter of priority. The impact of the number of emergency personnel on the relationship between...journal article 2024
