Liu, G. (author), You, Shijie (author), Zhang, Yujian (author), Huang, Hong (author), Spanjers, H. (author)To guarantee drinking water security, removal of bromate (BrO<sub>3</sub> <sup>−</sup>) has garnered plenty of attention in water treatment. In current study, we have developed a novel conjugated donor-acceptor (D-A) photocatalyst (4,4′'-bis(diphenylamino)-[1,1′:4′,1′'-terphenyl]-2′,5′-dicarbaldehyde, BDTD) with supramolecule architecture...journal article 2019

Jing, Guoqing (author), Zhang, Xu (author), Jia, W. (author)To mitigate the ballast flight risk in the high-speed railway, this paper presents three new polyurethane bonding schemes which have negligible influence to tamping operations. With the application of these bonding schemes, a series of laboratory tests indicated that the polyurethane-reinforced ballast exhibited much larger lateral resistance...journal article 2019

Zhang, Y. (author), Yang, Bin (author), Yang, Zhengxian (author), Ye, G. (author)Capturing the long-term performance of concrete must be underpinned by a detailed understanding of the pore structure. Mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) is a widely used technique for pore structure characterization. However, it has been proven inappropriate to measure the pore size distribution of cementitious materials due to the ink-bottle...journal article 2019

(author)Spin-orbit interaction (SOI) plays a key role in creating Majorana zero modes in semiconductor nanowires proximity coupled to a superconductor. We track the evolution of the induced superconducting gap in InSb nanowires coupled to a NbTiN superconductor in a large range of magnetic field strengths and orientations. Based on realistic...journal article 2019

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...journal article 2019

Zhang, D. (author), Bluyssen, P.M. (author)Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in classrooms can have an effect on school children’s comfort, health, and performance. In most classrooms, the teacher is the only one who can take actions to change the IEQ. The objective of this study was to identify what teachers usually do to improve IEQ in classrooms and how these actions relate to...journal article 2019
