Integrating High-speed Railway Stations and Urban Areas in China: Actors, Processes and InstitutionsWang, B. (author)There is an increasing need for understanding the impacts of institutions on the integrated planning of transport and land use. High-speed railway (HSR) station areas, as nodes in transport networks and mixed-use areas, have become a focus in planning. The fast development of HSR station areas in China causes many problems, such as remote...doctoral thesis 2022

Wang, B. (author), Ersoy, A. (author), van Bueren, Ellen (author), de Jong, Martin (author)The rapid high-speed railway development in China has faced many institutional challenges for the integrated development of transport and land use in station areas. This paper aims to gain insight into the institutional rules that structure the actors’ interactions and how they influence the integrated development in station areas. The...journal article 2022

Wang, B. (author), de Jong, Martin (author), van Bueren, Ellen (author), Ersoy, A. (author), Song, Yun (author)The development of high-speed railway (HSR) new towns in China represents a new phase of suburbanization and has had a significant impact on urban expansion, but not all of its mechanisms and drivers have been studied. This article aims to understand the booming development of HSR new towns in China through the theoretical lens of state...journal article 2022

Song, Y. (author), de Jong, W.M. (author), Stead, D. (author), Yang, Wei (author), Wang, B. (author)Sustainable urban transformation has become a mantra for Chinese cities. While most studies focus on sustainable urbanization in megacities, the far larger number of medium-sized cities is understudied, although the latter face more severe urban problems. This article develops a framework for examining policy change in sustainable urban...journal article 2022

Zhang, Qiming (author), Tjia, Linda Yin Nor (author), Wang, B. (author), Ersoy, A. (author)Asset-backed securitization will greatly promote the sustainability of infrastructure construction and financing. However, there are quite limited researches conducted in this field. Given the project characteristics of infrastructure project securities, this paper proposes the issuance steps of redeemable asset-backed notes (ABN) based on...journal article 2021

Wang, B. (author), de Jong, W.M. (author), van Bueren, Ellen (author), Ersoy, A. (author), Chen, Y. (author)Most High-Speed Railway (HSR) station areas in China can be found at the urban periphery or in suburban areas, a phenomenon that has often been criticised. While debate about the influence these location choices have on the economic and sustainable development of cities rages on, little attention has been paid to the decision-making processes...journal article 2021

Wang, B. (author)Breast cancer, being the most common cancer among females, is nowadays routinely diagnosed using X-ray mammography. Though this technique has proven its effectiveness in many cases, X-ray mammography has some disadvantages like reduced diagnostic sensitivity for dense breasts, need for strong breast compression and inability to assess tissues at...doctoral thesis 2020

Wang, B. (author), Kreuger, R. (author), Huizenga, J. (author), Beekman, F.J. (author), Goorden, M.C. (author)Photomultiplier tube (PMT)-based scintillation cameras are predominant in molecular imaging but have the drawback that position estimation is severely degraded near the edges (dead edge effect). This leads to sensitivity losses and can cause severe problems in applications like molecular breast imaging and in certain SPECT devices. Using smaller...journal article 2020

Wang, B. (author), van Roosmalen, J. (author), Kreuger, R. (author), Huizenga, J. (author), Beekman, F.J. (author), Goorden, M.C. (author)In recent years, breast imaging using radiolabelled molecules has attracted significant interest. Our group has proposed a multi-pinhole molecular breast tomosynthesis (MP-MBT) scanner to obtain 3D functional molecular breast images at high resolutions. After conducting extensive optimisation studies using simulations, we here present a first...journal article 2020

Wang, B. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author)Rainfall-induced slope failures are a major category of slope failure, with incidents likely to increase with the predicted escalation of extreme rainfall events. Traditional numerical methods such as the finite element method are often restricted in their applicability to small deformation analyses. Therefore, incomplete descriptions of the...journal article 2018

Wang, B. (author), Kreuger, R. (author), Beekman, F.J. (author), Goorden, M.C. (author)Anger cameras based on monolithic NaI scintillators read out by an array of PMTs are predominant in planar gamma imaging and SPECT. However, position estimation of gamma interactions is usually severely degraded near the edges of the scintillator which can be extremely undesirable for applications like breast imaging. Here we propose a...journal article 2018

Wang, B. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author)The material point method is a finite element variant which allows the material, represented by a point-wise discretization, to move through the background mesh. This means that large deformations, such as those observed post slope failure, can be computed. By coupling this material level discretization to the spatial variability of the material...conference paper 2017

Vardon, P.J. (author), Wang, B. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author)The simulation of slope failures, including both failure initiation and development, has been modelled using the material point method (MPM). Numerical case studies involving various slope angles, heterogeneity and rainfall infiltration are presented. It is demonstrated that, by utilising a constitutive model which encompasses, in a...journal article 2017

Vardon, P.J. (author), Wang, B. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author)The material point method (MPM) has the potential to simulate the onset, the full evolution and the final condition of a slope failure. It is a variant of the finite element method (FEM), where the material is able to move through the mesh, thereby solving one of the major problems in FEM of mesh tangling. The post-peak material behaviour is...conference paper 2017

Vardon, P.J. (author), Wang, B. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author)The simulation of slope failures, including both failure initiation and development, has been modelled using the material point method. By utilising a constitutive model which encompasses, in a simplified manner, both pre- and post-failure behaviour, the majority of types of geotechnical slope failure can be observed in the simulations. This is...journal article 2017

Wang, B. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author)The random material point method (RMPM), which combines random field theory and the material point method (MPM), is proposed. It differs from the random finite-element method (RFEM), by assigning random field (cell) values to material points that are free to move relative to the computational grid rather than to Gauss points in a conventional...journal article 2016
