Yang, Zhengxian (author), Shi, Peng (author), Zhang, Yong (author), Li, Z. (author)Internal curing by superabsorbent polymer (SAP) has been applied in alkali-activated slag (AAS) systems by a few previous studies with the purpose to mitigate the autogenous shrinkage. However, the effects of SAP on other properties of AAS have been rarely studied. In this paper, the workability, strength, permeability, and frost resistance...journal article 2022

Dreef, H. J. (author), Shi, S. (author), Cheng, X. (author), Donkers, M. C.F. (author), Van den Hof, P. M.J. (author)Identifiability of linear dynamic networks requires the presence of a sufficient number of external excitation signals. The problem of allocating a minimal number of external signals for guaranteeing generic network identifiability in the full measurement case has been recently addressed in the literature. Here we will extend that work by...journal article 2022

Shi, P. (author), Billeter, M.J. (author), Eisemann, E. (author)Screen-space ambient occlusion (SSAO) shows high efficiency and is widely used in real-time 3D applications. However, using SSAO algorithms in stereo rendering can lead to inconsistencies due to the differences in the screen-space information captured by the left and right eye. This will affect the perception of the scene and may be a source...journal article 2022

Arosquipa Nina, Yvan (author), Shi, Rui (author), Wüthrich, D. (author), Chanson, Hubert (author)Self-aerated free-surface flow studies have a more recent history compared to classical fluid dynamics. Traditional velocimetry techniques are adversely affected by the presence of gas–liquid interfaces. In the present study, detailed air-water flow measurements were performed in a highly turbulent free-surface flow, and three velocimetry...journal article 2022
