Lu, W. (author), Liu, A. (author), Wang, H. (author), Wu, Z. (author)While heated discussions have been directed towards various innovative procurement systems such as PPP, PFI, and BOT that carry the great expectation to help materialise the projects and deliver value to the society, a procurement system named agent-construction system (ACS or in Chinese Dai Jian Zhi) is being prevailing in Chinas public...conference paper 2011

Liu, S. (author)The United Kingdom (UK) government policy is increasingly directed at transforming the built environment to an environmentally sustainable one. The government, for example, has set a target for a reduction in carbon emissions by 80% by 2050 compared to 1990 levels. A large number of new policies and regulations are being introduced to minimise...conference paper 2011

Liu, L. (author), Zlatanova, S. (author)Indoor navigation is gaining an increasing interest among researchers in many domains. In many cases users need to orient quickly in complex environments, which is not always the target of current routing algorithms. The paper reviews current indoor path-finding approaches and discusses some of the limitations. In order to support a natural...conference paper 2011

Liu, H. (author), Heynderickx, I. (author)Developing an objective metric, which automatically quantifies perceived image quality degradation induced by blur, is highly beneficial for current digital imaging systems. In many applications, these objective metrics need to be of the noreference (NR) type, which implies that quality prediction is based on the distorted image only. Recent...conference paper 2010

Liu, C. (author), Emadi, A. (author), Wu, H. (author), De Graaf, G. (author), Wolffenbuttel, R.F. (author)A linear array of 128 Active Pixel Sensors has been developed in standard CMOS technology and a Linear Variable Optical Filter (LVOF) is added using CMOS-compatible post-process, resulting in a single chip highly-integrated highresolution microspectrometer. The optical requirements imposed by the LVOF result in photodetectors with small pitch...conference paper 2010

Alers, H. (author), Liu, H. (author), Redi, J. (author), Heynderickx, I. (author)Manufacturers of commercial display devices continuously try to improve the perceived image quality of their products. By applying some post processing techniques on the incoming image signal, they aim to enhance the quality level perceived by the viewer. Applying such techniques may cause side effects on different portions of the processed...conference paper 2010

Lindenbergh, R.C. (author), Liu, S. (author), Hanssen, R. (author), De Haan, S. (author), Van der Marel, H. (author)High spatial resolution integrated water vapor (IWV) estimates are available from the MERIS spectrometer on board of Envisat. Unfortunately cloud cover results in loss of a large amount of MERIS IWV pixels. Here methods are presented for filling cloud gaps in MERIS IWV scenes, first, by directly interpolating remaining pixels not affected by...conference paper 2009

(author)The catalyst-assisted growth of semiconductor nanowires heterostructures offers a very flexible way to design and fabricate single photon emitters. The nanowires can be positioned by organizing the catalyst prior to growth. Single quantum dots can be formed in the core of single nanowires which can then be easily isolated and addressed to...conference paper 2009

Liu, Y. (author), Tang, Q. (author), Fox, R.O. (author)Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a useful tool for modeling chemical reactors. However, because the design goals and expected outcomes are different than in "traditional'' CFD applications, chemical reactors require special attention to the treatment of chemical reactions, and heat and mass transfer. Here we provide an overview of the...conference paper 2006
