Xu, M. (author), Van Overloop, P.J. (author), Van de Giesen, N.C. (author)Due to land subsidence and sea level rise, salt intrusion in delta areas increases. This is a potential thread for agriculture in these areas. To investigate this thread and measures that can counteract on it, numerical models are developed to mimic the behavior of the water system under different strategies and scenarios. This behavior is...conference paper 2011

Ji, L. (author), Xu, Y. (author)In (Xu and Shu in J. Sci. Comput. 40:375–390, 2009), a local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method for the surface diffusion of graphs was developed and a rigorous proof for its energy stability was given. Numerical simulation results showed the optimal order of accuracy. In this subsequent paper, we concentrate on analyzing a priori error...journal article 2011

Tian, H.Y. (author), Cai, H.M. (author), Xu, X. (author), Lai, J.H. (author)Removing noise effectively without destroying important fine structure is a challenging problem in image processing. Among many techniques, diffusion method is shown to be attractive due to its rigorous mathematical background and efficiency. In this paper we propose a well-balanced diffusion method by redefining the diffusion and regularization...conference paper 2011

Sivapalan, M. (author), Yaeger, M.A. (author), Harman, C.J. (author), Xu, X. (author), Troch, P.A. (author)This paper presents analysis of annual water balance variability, (1) regional (between-catchment) variability and (2) between-year (interannual) variability and the symmetry between the two. This involved analysis of the annual water balance in terms of a two-stage partitioning, first, of annual precipitation into quick flow and soil wetting...journal article 2011

Xu, Y.C. (author), Lei, B. (author), Hendriks, E.A. (author)This paper studies how to improve the field of view (FOV) coverage of a camera network. We focus on a special but practical scenario where the cameras are randomly scattered in a wide area and each camera may adjust its orientation but cannot move in any direction. We propose a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm which can efficiently...journal article 2011

Xu, J. (author), Yazicioglu, Refet Firat (author), Grundlehner, Bernard (author), Harpe, Pieter (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author), Van Hoof, Chris (author)This paper presents an active electrode system for gel-free biopotential EEG signal acquisition. The system consists of front-end chopper amplifiers and a back-end common-mode feedback (CMFB) circuit. The front-end AC-coupled chopper amplifier employs input impedance boosting and digitally-assisted<br/>offset trimming. The former increases the...journal article 2011

Nikookar, H. (author), Xu, T. (author), Lu, H. (author)Signal fading due to multi-path propagation is one of the major impairments to meet the demands of next generation wireless networks for high data rate services. To mitigate the fading effects, time, frequency, and spatial diversity techniques or their hybrid can be used. Among different types of diversity techniques, spatial diversity is of...book chapter 2010

(author)The structural misfit compound (PbSe)1.16(TiSe2)2 is reported. It is a superconductor with a Tc of 2.3 K. (PbSe)1.16(TiSe2)2 derives from a parent compound, TiSe2, which shows a charge-density wave transition and no superconductivity. The crystal structure, characterized by high-resolution electron microscopy and powder x-ray diffraction,...journal article 2010

(author)Polarization gratings can be realized by polarization holographic recording in photoanisotropic materials. In this paper, we study two types of polarization gratings. One is recorded with two orthogonally circularly (OC) polarized beams and the other one with two orthogonally linearly (OL) polarized beams. The interference of both cases is...journal article 2010

(author)We study the applicability of geometrical optics to inhomogeneous dielectric nongyrotropic optically anisotropic media typically found in in-plane liquid-crystal configurations with refractive indices no=1.5 and ne=1.7. To this end, we compare the results of advanced ray- and wave-optics simulations of the propagation of an incident plane wave...journal article 2010

Superconductivity in CuxBi2Se3 and its Implications for Pairing in the Undoped Topological InsulatorHor, Y.S. (author), Williams, A.J. (author), Checkelsky, J.G. (author), Roushan, P. (author), Seo, J. (author), Xu, Q. (author), Zandbergen, H.W. (author), Yazdani, A. (author), Ong, N.P. (author), Cava, R.J. (author)Bi2Se3 is one of a handful of known topological insulators. Here we show that copper intercalation in the van der Waals gaps between the Bi2Se3 layers, yielding an electron concentration of ?2×1020??cm-3, results in superconductivity at 3.8 K in CuxBi2Se3 for 0.12?x?0.15. This demonstrates that Cooper pairing is possible in Bi2Se3 at accessible...journal article 2010

(author)Although many materials display the transition from insulating to metallic behavior on doping, only a few, such as VO2, have the right combination of crystal structure and physical properties to serve as model systems. Here we report the electronic and structural characteristics of the insulator to metal transition in V1?xMoxO2, which we have...journal article 2009
