Hou, Jue (author), Liu, Zhou (author), Wang, Shaorong (author), Chen, Zhe (author), Xie, Wei (author), Fang, Cheng (author), Wei, Xinchi (author), Popov, M. (author)Supplementary control (SC) technology is widely leveraged by power supply companies in active distribution networks (ADNs) to improve their stability and dynamic characteristics. Yet, the existed SCs are generally implemented from inside the converter controllers of distributed generators (DGs) or active loads, so there is a need to redesign...journal article 2022

Fu, Rongjie (author), He, Wei (author), Dou, Jinzhuang (author), Villarreal, Oscar D. (author), Bedford, Ella (author), Wang, Helen (author), Hou, Connie (author), Zhang, Liang (author), Depken, S.M. (author)The specificity of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing is largely determined by the sequences of guide RNA (gRNA) and the targeted DNA, yet the sequence-dependent rules underlying off-target effects are not fully understood. To systematically explore the sequence determinants governing CRISPR/Cas9 specificity, here we describe a dual-target system to...journal article 2022

Ji, Haoran (author), Hou, Chunping (author), Yang, Yang (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Lang, Yue (author)In this letter, a radar-based gait authentication method is proposed. We focus on the overfitting problem on the target category caused by limited training data in authentication models and propose a one-class classification model to alleviate this problem. The effectiveness of such model is verified by establishing a radar-based gait dataset,...journal article 2021

Law, Roger C. K. (author), Lai, Joseph H.K. (author), Edwards, David John (author), Hou, H. (author)Physical contact and respiratory droplet transmission have been widely regarded as the main routes of COVID-19 infection. However, mounting evidence has unveiled the risk of aerosol transmission of the virus. Whereas caution has been taken to avoid this risk in association with clinical facilities, facilities such as spa pools and Jacuzzis,...journal article 2021
