(author), Solomatine, D.P. (author)Data are essential in all areas of geophysics. They are used to better understand and manage systems, either directly or via models. Given the complexity and spatiotemporal variability of geophysical systems (e.g., precipitation), a lack of sufficient data is a perennial problem, which is exacerbated by various drivers, such as climate change...review 2019

Zheng, M. (author), Wu, Huayi (author), Li, Y. (author)It is fundamental for 3D city maps to efficiently classify objects of point clouds in urban scenes. However, it is still a large challenge to obtain massive training samples for point clouds and to sustain the huge training burden. To overcome it, a knowledge-based approach is proposed. The knowledge-based approach can explore discriminating...journal article 2019

(author)Dam breach has catastrophic consequences for human lives and economy. In previous studies, empirical models are often, to a limited extent, due to the inadequacy of historical dam breach events. Physical models, which focus on simulating human behavior during floods, are not suitable for fast analysis of a large number of dams due to the...journal article 2019

Yao, Jiao (author), Ni, Yiling (author), Zhao, J. (author), Niu, Huiwei (author), Liu, Shanyong (author), Zheng, Yuhui (author), Wang, Jin (author)Violation probability of taxi drivers in metropolis is far more than that of normal drivers because they are labor-intensive, overconfident of self-driving skill, and always searching potential customers, sometimes even picking up or dropping off passengers randomly. In this paper, four types of violated behavior of taxi drivers in metropolis...journal article 2019

Liu, Chenguang (author), Zheng, Huarong (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Chu, Xiumin (author), Xie, Shuo (author)Since vessel dynamics could vary during maneuvering because of load changes, speed changing, environmental disturbances, aging of mechanism, etc., the performance of model-based path following control may be degraded if the controller uses the same motion model all the time. This article proposes an adaptive path following control method...journal article 2019

Zheng, Fangfang (author), Li, Jie (author), van Zuylen, H.J. (author), Lu, Chao (author)All drivers have individual ways of driving. Still, there are groups of drivers with more or less similar characteristics. In this research, 28 drivers from Chengdu city (P.R. China) participated in an experiment where car following behaviour was measured with GPS devices. In every measured trip there was a leading and following vehicle both...journal article 2019

Zheng, Lijuan (author), van Wee, G.P. (author), Oeser, Markus (author)Accessibility is a key concept in transport planning. Most studies only focus on specific activity types, but for policy making it is more relevant to aggregate accessibility overall or at least several activity types. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no study that combines accessibilities for different activity types. Since...journal article 2019

(author)The last 60 years has seen unprecedented groundwater extraction and overdraft as well as development of new technologies for water treatment that together drive the advance in intentional groundwater replenishment known as managed aquifer recharge (MAR). This paper is the first known attempt to quantify the volume of MAR at global scale, and to...journal article 2019

Wu, Fabai (author), Japaridze, A. (author), Zheng, X.Z. (author), Wiktor, J.M. (author), Kerssemakers, J.W.J. (author), Dekker, C. (author)Although the physical properties of chromosomes, including their morphology, mechanics, and dynamics are crucial for their biological function, many basic questions remain unresolved. Here we directly image the circular chromosome in live E. coli with a broadened cell shape. We find that it exhibits a torus topology with, on average, a lower...journal article 2019

(author)Although the spatiotemporal structure of the genome is crucial to its biological function, many basic questions remain unanswered on the morphology and segregation of chromosomes. Here, we experimentally show in Escherichia coli that spatial confinement plays a dominant role in determining both the chromosome size and position. In non...journal article 2019

(author)Silicon spin qubits are one of the leading platforms for quantum computation<sup>1,2</sup>. As with any qubit implementation, a crucial requirement is the ability to measure individual quantum states rapidly and with high fidelity. Since the signal from a single electron spin is minute, the different spin states are converted to different...journal article 2019

Zheng, Y. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author)Loss of lateral stability remains a major cause of road accidents in recent years. Further improvement of passenger vehicle's active safety requires a more efficient utilization of the tire-road friction. Nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) is expected to fulfill such a role, as the nonlinear characteristics of the vehicle are included...conference paper 2019
