Lin, P. (author), Huang, Weidong (author), Liu, X. (author), Apostolidis, P. (author), Wang, H. (author), Yan, Chuanqi (author)One of the most widely used polymer-based modifiers in asphalt binders is styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS), which results in binders of increased modulus, strength, toughness, and resistance to permanent deformation. These properties are further improved with the increase of SBS polymer content in asphalt binders, producing binders such as high...journal article 2020

Wang, K. (author), Li, Jiayuan (author), Yan, Xinping (author), Huang, Lianzhong (author), Jiang, X. (author), Yuan, Yupeng (author), Ma, Ranqi (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)The optimization of ship energy consumption is attracting a great deal of attention, as societies seek to save energy and reduce emissions. Shipping companies are more concerned with the energy consumption of a ship fleet, as opposed to that of a single ship. Because the energy consumption of a fleet is influenced by multiple factors...journal article 2020

Yan, J. (author), Haffner, M.E.A. (author), Elsinga, M.G. (author)In recent decades, government intervention in welfare states has witnessed a shift from ‘government’ to ‘governance’: policy making shifted from hierarchical government steering to mixed forms involving government, market and civic actors. Such terminology has also entered Chinese policy language on public rental housing (PRH) provision. To...journal article 2020

(author), Sun, Peiting (author), Yan, Xinping (author)Energy saving and emission reduction have attracted a great deal of attention in the maritime industry. The optimization of a ship's energy efficiency can reduce energy consumption and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions effectively. However, most of the available studies only focus on either the sailing speed or route optimization, and the interaction...journal article 2020

Yan, F. (author), Bešinović, Nikola (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)This paper proposes a new multi-objective periodic railway timetabling (MOPRT) problem with four objectives to be minimized: train journey time, timetable regularity deviation, timetable vulnerability and the number of overtakings. The aim is to find an efficient, regular and robust timetable that utilizes the infrastructure capacity as good as...journal article 2019
