Han, Rui (author), Wen, Shilin (author), Liu, Chi Harold (author), Yuan, Ye (author), Wang, Guoren (author), Chen, Lydia Y. (author)Edge-cloud jobs are rapidly prevailing in many application domains, posing the challenge of using both resource-strenuous edge devices and elastic cloud resources. Efficient resource allocation on such jobs via scheduling algorithms is essential to guarantee their performance, e.g. latency. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is increasingly...conference paper 2022

Zhang, Qiming (author), Han, Yazhou (author), van Horssen, W.T. (author), Ma, Manjun (author)In this paper the wave propagation dynamics of a Lotka-Volterra type of model with cubic competition is studied. The existence of traveling waves and the uniqueness of spreading speeds are established. It is also shown that the spreading speed is equal to the minimal speed for traveling waves. Furthermore, general conditions for the linear or...journal article 2022

Han, Weiwei (author), Chen, Huisu (author), Zhang, Tao (author)Magnesium ammonium phosphate cement (MAPC) has been commonly applied in civil engineering. However, the analysis of hydration behavior and composition of solid assemblages still needs further exploration. From thermodynamic simulation, it is shown that the molar ratio between MgO and NH4H2PO4 (M/P ratio) determines the final composition of...conference paper 2021
