Sun, Chang (author)The city Winnipeg, built on the wet prairie, has been threatened by severe flooding for decades. The initial decision to build the city at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers led to the inevitable consequence of recurrent natural flooding. The floods prompted the provincial government to take a series of flood control structural...master thesis 2023

Zhao, Jing (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Sun, Jian (author), Ma, Zian (author), Wang, M. (author)Path dispersion (the spatial distribution of vehicular paths) is an important feature of traffic flow inside intersections and differs from traffic flow running along traffic lanes at road segment, especially under conflicting movements. The path dispersion reflects the operational features of traffic flow and is related to driving behaviour,...journal article 2023

Li, Z. (author), Sun, W. (author), Hai, R. (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Katsifodimos, A (author)The proliferation of pre-trained ML models in public Web-based model zoos facilitates the engineering of ML pipelines to address complex inference queries over datasets and streams of unstructured content. Constructing optimal plan for a query is hard, especially when constraints (e.g. accuracy or execution time) must be taken into consideration...conference paper 2023

Xie, Weiming (author), Sun, J. (author), Guo, Leicheng (author), Xu, Fan (author), Wang, Xianye (author), Ji, Hongyu (author), Fan, Yaoshen (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), He, Qing (author)Coastal tidal flats provide valuable ecosystems, but are highly sensitive to tidal dynamics, sea-level rise, and human activities. Tidal inundation depth and frequency are known to affect tidal flat morphodynamics. However, the causes, processes and extent remain uncertain, particularly given the associated changes in sediment availability. In...journal article 2023

Jamshidnejad, A. (author), Sun, D. (author), Ferrara, Antonella (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Model predictive control (MPC) has been widely used for traffic management, such as for minimizing the total time spent or the total emissions of vehicles. When long-term green urban mobility is considered including e.g. a constraint on the total yearly emissions, the optimization horizon of the MPC problem is significantly larger than the...journal article 2023

Olive, Xavier (author), Sun, Junzi (author), Basora, Luis (author), Spinielli, Enrico (author)In this paper, we analyze two months of trajectory data for aircraft landing in five major European airports. Based on open ADS-B data from the OpenSky Network and open performance models, we enrich all trajectories with automatically detected procedure information, fuel consumption, and emissions for supported aircraft types. To assess the...journal article 2023

Sun, W. (author)A western discourse of public space, originating in ancient Greece and Rome, has been widely used in architectural and urban research in China and is constantly contested in this geographical and cultural context. The contestation often stems from the cultural differences in understanding and operating the collective realms in Chinese and...journal article 2023

Roosenbrand, E.J. (author), Sun, Junzi (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Contrails contribute to global warming by trapping outgoing terrestrial radiation, exerting an immediate warming influence on the climate. The climatic impact of contrails is potentially comparable to that of aviation’s carbon emissions. This underlines the importance of minimizing contrail formation to mitigate the climate effects of aviation,...conference paper 2023

Sun, D. (author), Jamshidnejad, A. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)We propose a novel method to improve the convergence performance of model predictive control (MPC) for setpoint tracking, by introducing sub-references within a multilevel MPC structure. In some cases, MPC is implemented with a short prediction horizon due to limited on-line computation capacity, which could lead to deteriorated dynamic...journal article 2023

(author)The performance of engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) under coupled salt freezing and loaded conditions is important for its application on the transportation infrastructure. However, in most of the studies, the specimens were generally loaded prior to the freezing. The influence of sustained load was merely considered. To this end,...journal article 2023

(author), Ivankovic, Alojz (author)This chapter discusses the mixed-mode loading of adhesive joints. The importance of mixed-mode loading is first introduced and then test methods commonly used to measure the mixed-mode fracture resistance of adhesive joints are presented and briefly discussed. The approaches to determine the fracture resistance are briefly reviewed and then...book chapter 2023

Using data obtained from aircraft, the eastward and northward components of the wind velocity field inside a specific air space are calculated as functions of time. Both short-term wind velocity field forecasting and wind...journal article 2023

However, inhaled drug powders with a particle size below 10 µm are classified as highly cohesive materials with poor flow characteristics. Here we demonstrate how to alter the flow properties of micronized budesonide powders by depositing different...journal article 2023

A Kalman estimator estimates a stochastic effectiveness factor for every actuator, using only onboard RPM, gyro and accelerometer measurements. Then, a hypothesis test identifies the...conference paper 2023
