Ramousse, B.R. (author), Mendoza Lugo, M.A. (author), Rongen, G.W.F. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author)Constructing Bayesian networks (BN) for practical applications presents significant challenges, especially in domains with limited empirical data available. In such situations, field experts are often consulted to estimate the model’s parameters, for instance, rank correlations in Gaussian copula-based Bayesian networks (GCBN). Because there is...journal article 2024

Liu, Xu (author), Hu, D. (author), Li, Z. (author), Fan, Xuejun (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Fan, J. (author)The nano-copper particles are widely used in the sintering processes of packaging wide bandgap semiconductors. Despite the significant success in the industry, the mechanism bridging the sintering process to the mechanical properties of sintered nano-copper is not yet well-modeled. In this paper, the impacts of different sintering temperatures...conference paper 2024

Maruhashi, J. (author), Mertens, M. (author), Grewe, V. (author), Dedoussi, I.C. (author)Flight altitude is relevant to the climate effects resulting from aircraft emissions. Other research has shown that flying higher within the troposphere leads to larger warming from O3 production. Aircraft NOx emissions are of particular interest, as they lead to warming via the short-term production of O3, but also to reduced warming via...journal article 2024

Wu, W. (author), Liu, Xinwang (author), Zhou, Ligang (author), Qin, Jindong (author), Rezaei, J. (author)Since the development of the best–worst method (BWM) in 2015, it has become a popular research focus in multi-criteria decision-making. The original optimization problem of the BWM is a nonlinear min–max model that can lead to multiple optimal solutions, while the linear model of the BWM produces a unique solution. The two models need to be...journal article 2024

Quispe Haro, Juan José (author), Chen, Fei (author), Los, R. (author), Shi, Shuqi (author), Sun, Wenjun (author), Chen, Yong (author), Idema, T. (author), Wegner, Seraphine V. (author)The transition of bacteria from an individualistic to a biofilm lifestyle profoundly alters their biology. During biofilm development, the bacterial cell-cell adhesions are a major determinant of initial microcolonies, which serve as kernels for the subsequent microscopic and mesoscopic structure of the biofilm, and determine the resulting...journal article 2024

(author)Non-polarizable force fields fail to accurately predict free energies of aqueous electrolytes without compromising the predictive ability for densities and transport properties. A new approach is presented in which (1) TIP4P/2005 water and scaled charge force fields are used to describe the interactions in the liquid phase and (2) an additional...journal article 2024

Bozhidarova, Malvina (author), Ball, Frank (author), van Gennip, Y. (author), O’Dea, Reuben D. (author), Stupfler, Gilles (author)This paper proposes a novel framework for modelling the spread of financial crises in complex networks, combining financial data, Extreme Value Theory and an epidemiological transmission model. We accommodate two key aspects of contagion modelling: fundamentals-based contagion, where the transmission is due to direct financial linkages, and...journal article 2024

Yaghoubi Nasrabadi, V. (author), Kumru, B. (author)Over the past 30 years, the polymer composite industry has flourished, producing advanced structural materials for the aviation, energy, and transportation sectors. However, the use of crosslinked thermoset matrices has been linked to significant end-of-life challenges, presenting a critical issue for the industry. Moreover, the industry is...journal article 2024

Abdeldayem, O.M.H.M. (author), Dupont, Capucine (author), Ferras, David (author), Ndiaye, Lat Grand (author), Kennedy, M.D. (author)Although industrial hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) uses wet feedstock, lab-scale studies tend to dry the feedstock under the assumption that the rehydration of the feedstock would restore its original properties. To the best of our knowledge, this assumption has not been thoroughly examined at the lab scale; therefore, its investigation is...journal article 2024
