Zhang, J. (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author), Heusdens, R. (author)Randomized gossip (RG) based distributed averaging has been popular for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in multiple areas. With RG, randomly two adjacent nodes are selected to communicate and exchange information iteratively until consensus is reached. One way to improve the convergence speed of RG is to use greedy gossip with eavesdropping (GGE...conference paper 2016

(author)We explore a methodology for patterned copper nanoparticle paste for 3D interconnect applications in wafer to wafer (W2W) bonding. A novel fine pitch thermal compression bonding process (sintering) with coated copper nanoparticle paste was developed. Most of the particle size is between 10-30 nm. Lithographically defined stencil printing using...conference paper 2016

Chao, Q. (author), Yu, J (author), Dai, C. (author), Xu, T (author), Zhang, L. (author), Wang, C.C. (author), Jin, X. (author)We present a general solution for steering microrobotic<br/>swarm by dynamic actuating fields. In our approach, the<br/>motion of micro-robots is controlled by changing the actuating<br/>direction of a field applied to them. The time-series sequence<br/>of actuating field’s directions can be computed automatically.<br/>Given a target position in...conference paper 2016

Zhang, Y. (author), Ye, G. (author)In engineering practise, interior relative humidity (RH) of concrete significantly affects the transport properties and thus the service life of concrete structures. In this paper, the development of RH due to self-desiccation in blended cement pastes was studied from 1 day to 1.5 years. The pore structure and non-evaporable water content at...conference paper 2016

(author)In Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) of the liver, a series of images is acquired over a period of 20 minutes. Due to the patient's breathing, the liver is subject to a substantial displacement between acquisitions. Furthermore, due to its location in the abdomen, the liver also undergoes marked deformation. The large deformations...conference paper 2016

Gao, Y. (author), Dong, J. (author), Isabella, O. (author), Zeman, M. (author), Zhang, G (author)Diverse solar irradiance spectra can be observed under different conditions of time, date, location, weather, etc. Since the solar irradiance spectrum is required by certain scientific and engineering applications, obtaining accurate spectral data is essential. Measurements by spectrophotometers are able to achieve accurate real-time data with...conference paper 2016

(author)We present a one-dimensional lossless scheme to compute an image of a dissipative medium from two single-sided reflection responses. One reflection response is measured at or above the top reflector of a dissipative medium and the other reflection response is computed as if measured at or above the top reflector of a medium with negative...conference paper 2016

Gao, L. (author), Zhang, L.M. (author), Chen, H.X. (author)Due to hilly terrain and frequent heavy rainstorms, debris flow is one of the most common and catastrophic hazards in Hong Kong. To mitigate the debris flow risk, prediction of the magnitude and consequence of debris flow is essential. The objective of this paper is to simulate debris flow hazards in a study area in Hong Kong. Assessment of the...conference paper 2015

Zhu, Y. (author), Peng, M. (author), Shi, Z. (author), Zhang, L. (author)The 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake triggered at least 257 landslide dams, most of which formed in series along rivers. The failure of an upstream dam could cause the failure of dams downstream one after another. The cascade dam breaching may result in sharp increase of flood and more serious damage downstream. This paper aims to analyze the...conference paper 2015

Danka, J. (author), Zhang, L. (author)Dike breaching parameters are important to support dike flood risk management, and can be estimated rapidly using empirical models. Due to the lack of dike specific models, sometimes models for man-made dams were used without validation. This paper compares relevant factors of dike, man-made dam and landslide dam breaches. With the aid of two...conference paper 2015
