Beenakker, C.W.J. (author), Baireuther, P. (author), Herasymenko, Y. (author), Adagideli, I. (author), Wang, L. (author), Akhmerov, A.R. (author)Majorana zero modes in a superconductor are midgap states localized in the core of a vortex or bound to the end of a nanowire. They are anyons with non-Abelian braiding statistics, but when they are immobile one cannot demonstrate this by exchanging them in real space and indirect methods are needed. As a real-space alternative, we propose to...journal article 2019

Wang, Yuanqing (author), Ubachs, Wim (author), van de Water, W. (author)Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering spectra of CO <sub>2</sub> were measured at pressures ranging from 0.5 to 4 bars and temperatures from 257 to 355 K using green laser light (wavelength 532 nm, scattering angle of 55.7°). These spectra were compared to two line shape models, which take the bulk viscosity as a parameter. One model applies to the...journal article 2019

Wang, M. (author), van Maarseveen, Sander (author), Happee, R. (author), Tool, Onno (author), van Arem, B. (author)Truck platooning attracts considerable attention thanks to the promising fuel consumption benefits and business model. Nevertheless, concerns over the influence of long truck platoons on other traffic are raised by road operators. It is intriguing to understand under what conditions truck platooning will influence other traffic and what are...journal article 2019

Zhan, X. (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Wang, H. (author)Progress has been made in understanding how temporal network features affect the percentage of nodes reached by an information diffusion process. In this work, we explore further: which node pairs are likely to contribute to the actual diffusion of information, i.e., appear in a diffusion trajectory? How is this likelihood related to the...journal article 2019

Wang, Xuerui (author), Sun, S. (author), van Kampen, E. (author), Chu, Q. P. (author)This paper proposes an Incremental Sliding Mode Control driven by Sliding Mode Disturbance Observers (INDI-SMC/SMDO), with application to a quadrotor fault tolerant control problem. By designing the SMC/SMDO based on the control structure of the sensor-based Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (INDI), instead of the model-based Nonlinear...journal article 2019

Wang, Kan (author), Chen, Pei (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author)The Japanese Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) satellite system has placed in orbit four satellites by October 2017. The Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) system has launched the new satellite IRNNSS-11 in April 2018, completing seven operational satellites. Together with the GPS block IIF satellites and the Galileo...journal article 2019

(author), Yang, Bo (author), Wang, Yonghua (author)H <sub>2</sub> O <sub>2</sub> , is an attractive oxidant for synthetic chemistry, especially if activated as percarboxylic acid. H <sub>2</sub> O <sub>2</sub> , however, is also a potent inactivator of enzymes. Protein engineering efforts to improve enzyme resistance against H <sub>2</sub> O <sub>2</sub> in the past have mostly focused on...journal article 2019

(author)Sags are roadway sections along which the gradient increases gradually in the direction of traffic. Sags are generally bottlenecks in freeway networks. Previous research suggests that traffic management measures using advanced Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) systems could reduce congestion on freeways, but little is known about their potential...journal article 2019

Wang, Xuerui (author), van Kampen, E. (author)Fault-tolerant flight control has the potential of improving the aircraft survivability in real life. This paper proposes an Incremental Backstepping Sliding Mode Control (IBSMC) framework for multi-input/output nonlinear strict-feedback systems considering model uncertainties, sudden faults, and external disturbances. This approach is a...conference paper 2019

Qu, C. (author), Zhan, X. (author), Wang, Guanghui (author), Wu, Jianliang (author), Zhang, Zi-ke (author)Many systems are dynamic and time-varying in the real world. Discovering the vital nodes in temporal networks is more challenging than that in static networks. In this study, we proposed a temporal information gathering (TIG) process for temporal networks. The TIG-process, as a node's importance metric, can be used to do the node ranking. As...journal article 2019
