Rong, M.Z. (author), Zhang, M.Q. (author), Yuan, C.E. (author), Wang, F. (author)Generally, intrinsic self-healing polymers based on reversible covalent bonds scission and reconnection would lose their load bearing capability as a result of molecular cleavage during healing process. This shortcoming also results in creep deformation of the products. To solve the problem, we introduce a novel healing mechanism by using...conference paper 2013

Zhang, M. (author), He, Q. (author), Gong, J. (author)Composable modeling method has been a research hotpot in the area of Modeling and Simulation for a long time. In order to increase the reuse and interoperability of BOM based model, this paper put forward a composable modeling method based on BOM, studied on the basic theory of composable modeling method based on BOM, designed a general...conference paper 2013

Zhang, Y. (author), Ye, G. (author)The pressure to reach sustainability favours the development of ternary composite cement. The synergistic effect on mechanical behaviour at 28 days between limestone powder (LP) and pozzolanic additives, i.e. fly ash (FA) and blast furnace slag (BFS), has been documented. In order to better understand the synergistic effect, this article...conference paper 2012

Chen, D. (author), Zhang, Y. (author), Ottevanger, W. (author), Blanckaert, K. (author), Leilei, G. (author)Evolution of meanders, a complex morpho-dynamic process, has been the focus of research challenging river engineers for decades. The study replicates the natural evolution of meandering processes by coupling the Bank Erosion and Retreat Model (BERM, by Chen and Duan) with a nonlinear flow model (by Blanckaert and de Vriend). Distinguished from...conference paper 2012

(author)Matching of building polygons with different levels of detail is crucial in the maintenance and quality assessment of multi-representation databases. Two general problems need to be addressed in the matching process: (1) Which criteria are suitable? (2) How to effectively combine different criteria to make decisions? This paper mainly focuses on...conference paper 2012

Gong, Z. (author), Wang, Z.B. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Zhang, C.K. (author)A schematized process-based model of tidal flat evolution was constructed with dimensions similar to the tidal flats near the Wanggang Mouth at the central coast of Jiangsu, China. The simulated flow patterns agree qualitatively with field observations from literature, i.e. involving tidal asymmetry, current directions and tidal wave features....conference paper 2011

Fernandez Arguedas, V. (author), Zhang, Q. (author), Chandramouli, K. (author), Izquierdo, E. (author)In this paper, we present a part of surveillance centric indexing framework aimed at studying the performance of multi-feature fusion technique for indexing objects from surveillance videos. The multi-feature fusion algorithm determines an optimal metric for fusing low-level descriptors extracted from different feature space. These low-level...conference paper 2011

(author)High-resolution heterodyne spectrometers operating at above 2 THz are crucial for detecting, e.g., the HD line at 2.7 THz and oxygen OI line at 4.7 THz in astronomy. The potential receiver technology is a combination of a hot electron bolometer (HEB) mixer and a THz quantum cascade laser (QCL) local oscillator (LO).Here we report the first...conference paper 2010

Using a measurement setup with black body calibration sources and a beam splitter in vacuo, and an antireflection coated Si lens, we obtained a double sideband receiver noise temperature of 1150 K, which is 4.5 times...conference paper 2010

Zhang, Y. (author), De Weerdt, M.M.

This may result in execution failures. When only information is private, mechanisms such as VCG use payments to...conference paper 2009

Fragmentation in the national railway systems impedes, in many ways, social and economic benefits in the liberalised EU railway market. The need for innovative governance to deal with the fragmentation...conference paper 2009
