Zhang, Liang (author), Li, Guang (author), Chen, Huang (author), Tang, Jingtian (author), Yang, Guanci (author), Yu, Mingbiao (author), Hu, Yong (author), Xu, Jun (author), Sun, J. (author)Audio magnetotelluric (AMT) is commonly used in mineral resource exploration. However, the weak energy of AMT signals makes them susceptible to being overwhelmed by noise, leading to erroneous geophysical interpretations. In recent years, deep learning has been applied to AMT denoising and has shown better denoising performance compared to...journal article 2024

Paul, C.E. (author), Hanefeld, U. (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Qu, Ge (author), Yuan, Bo (author), Sun, Zhoutong (author)Contemporary Biocatalysis heavily relies on enzyme engineering as natural enzymes frequently lack the requisite attributes for effective organic synthesis. The inherent limitations in stability, catalytic activity, and selectivity of wild-type enzymes often hinder their suitability for chemical synthesis. Over the past 25 years, there has...journal article 2024

Sun, Hao (author), Wang, Haiqing (author), Yang, M. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)To maintain continuous production, chemical plant operators may ignore faults or handle faults online rather than shutting down process systems. However, interaction and interdependence links between components in a digitalized process system are substantial. Thus, faults will be propagated to downstream nodes, potentially leading to risk...journal article 2024

Cui, C. (author), Zhang, Xiaodong (author), Qi, Meng (author), Lyu, Hao (author), Sun, Jinsheng (author), Kiss, A.A. (author)In industrial processes there are instances where heat pump assisted distillation falls short of full electrification, necessitating an auxiliary reboiler. To solve this limiting issue, this short communication proposes a new method using flash vapour circulation (FVC) to recuperate the waste heat within the heat pump cycle. This method...journal article 2024

(author), Yang, Jinchuan (author), Zhou, Zhengong (author), Sun, Yuguo (author), Wang, Bing (author)This paper aims to illustrate the effect of the impact damage on fatigue behavior of CF/PEEK-titanium hybrid laminates. To achieve this end, a fatigue life model was proposed to predict the S–N curves of the laminates at various initial impact energy levels and stress ratios based on the energy dissipation approach. The energy dissipation...journal article 2024
