Luo, Maoyi (author), Wang, Hang (author), Zheng, Xiaohui (author), Wüthrich, D. (author), Bai, Ruidi (author), Liu, Shanjun (author)In high dam construction projects in China, stilling basin design with an abrupt bottom drop is sometimes introduced to reduce the bottom velocity and pressure loads by generating A-type hydraulic jumps. Although the stilling basin design is not new, A-type hydraulic jumps have not been studied taking into account the air entrainment and...journal article 2023

Pan, Tanbo (author), Zheng, Yonglai (author), Zhou, Y. (author), Wu, Zhuorui (author), Zhou, Yujue (author)Externally bonded (EB) carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is widely used in structural strengthening and retrofitting. Premature debonding of the FRP severely limits the efficiency of CFRP utilization. The application of CRRP anchorage system offers a solution to the debonding problem. However, the understanding of damage mode identification...conference paper 2023

Feng, Cheng (author), Zheng, Kedi (author), Zhou, Yangze (author), Palensky, P. (author), Chen, Qixin (author)With the proliferation of distributed energy resources (DERs), electricity consumers in virtual power plants (VPPs) are transitioning into prosumers and are encouraged to share surplus energy with peers. Nevertheless, large-scale energy sharing among thousands of prosumers may encounter communication-related challenges. Communication network...journal article 2023

Zheng, Jingjing (author), Li, Kai (author), Mhaisen, N. (author), Ni, Wei (author), Tovar, Eduardo (author), Guizani, Mohsen (author)Federated learning (FL) is increasingly considered to circumvent the disclosure of private data in mobile edge computing (MEC) systems. Training with large data can enhance FL learning accuracy, which is associated with non-negligible energy use. Scheduled edge devices with small data save energy but decrease FL learning accuracy due to a...conference paper 2023

Zheng, Meng (author)Machine learning models are so-called a "black box," which means people can not easily observe the relationship between the output and input or explain the reason for such results. In recent years, much work has been done on interpretable machine-learning, such as Shapley values, counterfactual explanations, partial dependence plots, or saliency...master thesis 2022

Bos, Robert (author), Zheng, Leo (author)In this report, the analysis and design of a system that extracts keyframes from videos is detailed. The need for such a sub-module stems from the similarity of frames in a video. To aid in reducing the computation time of the content based video search engine, the Keyframe Extraction Module reduces the amount of frames by discarding frames that...bachelor thesis 2022

Zheng, X. (author)Large deformations in fluid-saturated geomaterials are central to numerous geotechnical applications, such as landslides and dam failures, pile installations, and underground excavations. An in-depth understanding of the soil's hydromechanical behaviour during large-deformation processes is essential for quantitative predictions about such...doctoral thesis 2022

Zheng, Zhenja (author)THE BRIEF & HET TUSSENLAND<br/>The moment a patient receives the diagnosis of an incurable disease, it often feels like their whole world collapses. One patient explained this feeling as entering the in-between-land, the transition period from ending curative care and entering the end-of-life care. This in-between-land feels like entering an...master thesis 2022
