Yang, Lijuan (author), Lin, X. (author), Li, Eldon Y. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Transshipment can be a detour for carriers to bypass congested locks. Therefore, the local government provides subsidies to carriers reluctant to adopt transshipment due to high costs. Using the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) as the subject, we address the interaction between the government and carriers and the rational routine choice for carriers...journal article 2023

Cheng, H. (author), Weemstra, C. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Yang, Y. (author)Coda wave interferometry (CWI) holds promise as a technique for concrete stress monitoring. This is because the coda, which consists of multiply scattered arrivals, is the result of propagation through the medium over large distances. As such, it is sensitive to both minute structural changes and small velocity changes in that medium....journal article 2023
