Li, Wenting (author), Wang, Ping (author), Liang, K. (author)Password-only authentication is one of the most popular secure mechanisms for real-world online applications. But it easily suffers from a practical threat - password leakage, incurred by external and internal attackers. The external attacker may compromise the password file stored on the authentication server, and the insider may...journal article 2023

Cheng, L. (author), Yang, Fei (author), Seidel, Marc (author), Veljkovic, M. (author)The overall competitiveness of offshore wind turbine towers is significantly influenced by the selection of the connection. The following three types of connections: a conventional bolted ring flange (RF) connection, ring flange connection with defined contact surfaces (RFD), and C1 wedge connection (C1-WC) are considered. A quantitative...journal article 2023

Baki, B. (author), Basu, S. (author), Lavidas, G. (author)Wind ramps, or rapid changes in wind speed, are a crucial aspect of atmospheric dynamics and have significant implications for various wind energy applications. For example, wind ramps tend to increase uncertainty in power output predictions. Furthermore, they also induce fatigue damage to wind turbines.<br/>In a recent study, DeMarco and Basu ...abstract 2023

(author)Hybrid Unmanned Aerial Vehicles UAV are vehicles capable of take-off and landing vertically like helicopters while maintaining the long-range efficiency of fixed-wing aircraft. Unfortunately, due to their wing area, these vehicles are sensitive to wind gusts when hovering. One way to increase the hovering wind-rejection capabilities of hybrid...journal article 2023

(author)Enceladus, an icy moon of Saturn, possesses an internal water ocean and jets expelling ocean material into space. Cassini investigations indicated that the subsurface ocean could be a habitable environment having a complex interaction with the rocky core. Further investigation of the composition of the plume formed by the jets is necessary to...journal article 2023

Meester, R.S. (author), van Dijk, Tom (author), de Wagter, C. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)Obstacle avoidance is an important capability for flying robots. But for robots with limited resources, such as small drones this becomes particularly challenging. Bug algorithms have been proposed to solve path planning with only minimal resources. And stereo vision provides a rich description of the world for limited weight but typically has a...conference paper 2023

Klenk, M.B.O.T. (author)A series of recent papers raises worries about the manipulative potential of algorithmic transparency (to wit, making visible the factors that influence an algorithm’s output). But while the concern is apt and relevant, it is based on a fraught understanding of manipulation. Therefore, this paper draws attention to the ‘indifference view’ of...journal article 2023

Lattice modelling of early-age creep of 3D printed segments with the consideration of stress historyChang, Z. (author), Liang, M. (author), He, S. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)We propose a new numerical method to analyze the early-age creep of 3D printed segments with the consideration of stress history. The integral creep strain evaluation formula is first expressed in a summation form using superposition principle. The experimentally derived creep compliance surface is then employed to calculate the creep strain...journal article 2023

Care ethics recognizes that human well-being is a group project, one that involves...journal article 2023
