Li, Z. (author), Liang, X. (author), Liu, C. (author), Liang, M. (author), van Breugel, K. (author), Ye, G. (author)This study investigates the deformation of free and stress of restrained alkali-activated slag concrete (AASC), respectively, under semi-adiabatic condition. The concrete shows first thermal expansion, which is compensated soon by autogenous shrinkage. The subsequent cooling down of the concrete aggravates shrinkage and development of tensile...journal article 2022

Ma, Yunjian (author), Liang, Hongjing (author), Zhao, Zexin (author), Wu, Bin (author), Lan, Dongming (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Wang, Yonghua (author)Unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs, EC 1.11.2.1) are promising oxyfunctionalization catalysts because of their unique stereoselectivity. However, so far only a few UPOs have been reported. In this study, gene mining was used to identify a gene from Galerina marginata that coded for a novel UPO (GmaUPO). GmaUPO was expressed in Pichia pastoris X...journal article 2022

Liang, X. (author), Dong, H. (author), Li, Z. (author), van Zijl, Marc Brito (author), Ye, G. (author)This paper investigated the feasibility of using biomass fly ash (BFA) to prepare alkaliactivated slag and fly ash paste. The reference mixture was alkali-activated slag and coal fly ash (CFA) paste with a slag-to-coal fly ash ratio of 50/50. In other mixtures, coal fly ash was replaced at 40% and 100% with BFA, respectively. The results showed...conference paper 2021

Li, Wenting (author), Cheng, Haibo (author), Wang, Ping (author), Liang, K. (author)Multi-factor authentication (MFA) has been widely used to safeguard high-value assets. Unlike single-factor authentication (e.g., password-only login), t-factor authentication (tFA) requires a user always to carry and present t specified factors so as to strengthen the security of login. Nevertheless, this may restrict user experience in...journal article 2021

Liang, F. (author), Brunelli, Matteo (author), Septian, Kevin (author), Rezaei, J. (author)The Best-Worst Method (BWM) is a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method that has recently been introduced. The original BWM assumes that decision-makers are always certain about their judgments even if, in reality, decision-makers often express uncertain preferences. To deal with uncertainty, we introduce a belief structure in the BWM,...journal article 2021
