Fu, Mingyan (author), He, Mingjing (author), Heijman, Sebastiaan (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)Removal of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) from municipal wastewater is becoming more and more important. On-site regeneration of exhausted adsorbents can be the key to practical applications. In this study, ozone-based regeneration of granular zeolites loaded with acetaminophen (ACE) was investigated. The adsorption capacity of ACE was...journal article 2021

de Weerdt, M.M. (author), Baart, Robert (author), He, L. (author)Single-machine scheduling where jobs have a penalty for being late or for being rejected altogether is an important (sub)problem in manufacturing, logistics, and satellite scheduling. It is known to be NP-hard in the strong sense, and there is no polynomial-time algorithm that can guarantee a constant-factor approximation (unless P=NP). We...journal article 2021

(author), He, Ben (author), Pan, Hualin (author)The large-diameter monopiles are the most preferred foundation used in offshore wind farms. However, the influence of pile diameter and aspect ratio on the lateral bearing behavior of monopiles in sand with different relative densities has not been systematically studied.

Ji, Yanjie (author), Ma, Xinwei (author), He, Mingjia (author), Jin, Yuchuan (author), Yuan, Y. (author)Bike-sharing systems have rapidly expanded around the world. Previous studies found that docked and dockless bike-sharing systems are different in terms of user demand and travel characteristics. However, their usage regularity and its determinants have not been fully understood. This research aims to fill this gap by exploring smart card...journal article 2020

He, Xin (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author)This paper introduces three new Schur complement approximations for the augmented Lagrangian preconditioner. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations discretized by a stabilized finite element method are utilized to evaluate these new approximations of the Schur complement. A wide range of numerical experiments in the laminar context...journal article 2020

He, J. (author), Suau, M. (author), Oliehoek, F.A. (author)How can we plan efficiently in real time to control an agent in a complex environment that may involve many other agents? While existing sample-based planners have enjoyed empirical success in large POMDPs, their performance heavily relies on a fast simulator. However, real-world scenarios are complex in nature and their simulators are often...journal article 2020

Li, X. (author), He, Y. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Jing, X. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author), Yang, Y. (author)The performance of deep learning (DL) algorithms for radar-based human motion recognition (HMR) is hindered by the diversity and volume of the available training data. In this article, to tackle the issue of insufficient training data for HMR, we propose an instance-based transfer learning (ITL) method with limited radar micro-Doppler (MD)...journal article 2020

He, Z. (author), Vink, P. (author)Sleeping in long haul flights is difficult. There is noise, an upright sitting position and neighbors and crew disturb the sleep. However, there is not much information available for designers on the most important factors next to the seat that could improve the sleep quality. In this paper a co-creation session and a survey among 109...journal article 2020

Wang, Jing (author), Wu, Benteng (author), Muñoz Sierra, Julian (author), He, Chunhua (author), Hu, Zhenhu (author), Wang, Wei (author)Sludge morphology considerably affects the mechanism underlying microbial anaerobic degradation of phenol. Here, we assessed the phenol degradation rate, specific methanogenic activity, electron transport activity, coenzyme F<sub>420</sub> concentration, and microbial community structure of five phenol-degrading sludge of varying particle...journal article 2020

Song, Jingkuan (author), He, Tao (author), Gao, Lianli (author), Xu, Xing (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Shen, Heng Tao (author)Binary codes have often been deployed to facilitate large-scale retrieval tasks, but not that often for image compression. In this paper, we propose a unified framework, BGAN+, that restricts the input noise variable of generative adversarial networks to be binary and conditioned on the features of each input image, and simultaneously learns...journal article 2020

Chen, Zhuo Yi (author), Li, Chuan Xi (author), He, Jun (author), Xin, H. (author)Diaphragm cutouts are set to release redundant constraints and hence reduce weld fatigue at the connection of U-ribs to diaphragms in orthotropic steel decks. However, most fatigue cracks which originate from the edge of cutouts are in fact detected in the diaphragms. Therefore, a retrofit technology on cracked cutouts at the diaphragm is...journal article 2020

Lin, J. (author), He, Qing (author), Guo, Leicheng (author), van Prooijen, Bram (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Accurate measurement of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in highly turbid environments has been a problem due to optical or acoustic signal saturation and attenuation. The saturation returns a limited measurement range, and the attenuation raises an ambiguity problem that a low optical or acoustic output could mean a low or a high SSC....journal article 2020

Basu, S. (author), He, Ping (author), DeMarco, Adam W. (author)We use a database of direct numerical simulations to evaluate parametrizations for energy dissipation rate in stably stratified flows. We show that shear-based formulations are more appropriate for stable boundary layers than commonly used buoyancy-based formulations. As part of the derivations, we explore several length scales of turbulence...journal article 2020
