(author), Le, Quang Bao (author), Lippe, Melvin (author), Niamir, Leila (author), Polhill, J. Gareth (author), Sun, Zhanli (author), Berger, Thomas (author)There has so far been no shared understanding of validity in agent-based simulation. We here conceptualise validation as systematically substantiating the premises on which conclusions from simulation analysis for a particular modelling context are built. Given such a systematic perspective, validity of agent-based models cannot be ensured if...journal article 2023

Zhang, Qunli (author), Zhao, Wenqiang (author), Sun, Donghan (author), Meng, Xiangzhao (author), Hooman, K. (author), Yang, Xiaohu (author)NO<sub>x</sub> emission reduction from gas boilers has become a key issue in improving air quality. Combustion air humidification technology is gradually being used to reduce NO<sub>x</sub> emissions. However, the NO<sub>x</sub> emission reduction effect of gas boilers at a higher combustion air humidity has been studied less. A flue gas with...journal article 2023

Ni, Ying (author), Li, Y. (author), Yuan, Y. (author), Sun, Jian (author)In recent years, the interest in riding in cities using the two-wheeler (e.g., bicycles, electric bicycles, electric mopeds, etc.) increases. Mixed-traffic road segments are one of the most common traffic scenes where the mixed two-wheeler flows exist. Because the movements are often not restricted by lanes, the two-wheeler uses lateral road...journal article 2023

Li, Wanda (author), Xu, Zhiwei (author), Sun, Yi (author), Gong, Qingyuan (author), Chen, Y. (author), Ding, Aaron Yi (author), Wang, Xin (author), Hui, Pan (author)Outstanding users (OUs) denote the influential, 'core' or 'bridge' users in online social networks. How to accurately detect and rank them is an important problem for third-party online service providers and researchers. Conventional efforts, ranging from early graph-based algorithms to recent machine learning-based approaches, typically rely on...journal article 2023

Bobbink, I. (author), Chouairi, A. (author), Sun, P. (author)Considering ‘infrastructures as landscapes’ and ‘landscapes as infrastructures’, this article uses an open framework to reconsider the distinctive water infrastructure of France’s UNESCO-listed heritage Canal du Midi. More specifically, it profiles the Canal’s Mediterranean outlet. Viewed through a landscape architectonic lens, we investigate...journal article 2023

Wang, Jiepeng (author), Zhou, Hong (author), Sun, Xinlei (author), Yuan, Y. (author)Due to the fact that there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of how the dynamic nature of supply chain networks (SCNs) interrelates with network structures, particularly network topologies under disruptions. This research employs a novel evolving model of a supply chain network (SCNE model) by modifying the Barabási and Albert (BA)...journal article 2023

Sun, Yubo (author), Cheng, H. (author), Zhang, Shizhe (author), Mohan, Manu K. (author), Ye, G. (author), De Schutter, Geert (author)Alkali-activated concrete (AAC) is regarded as a promising alternative construction material to reduce the CO<sub>2</sub> emission induced by Portland cement (PC) concrete. Due to the diversity in raw materials and complexity of reaction mechanisms, a commonly applied design code is still absent to date. This study attempts to directly...journal article 2023

Sun, Beibei (author), Sun, Yubo (author), Ye, G. (author), De Schutter, Geert (author)Although the application of blast furnace slag and fly ash-based alkali-activated concrete (BFS/FA-AAC) has both economic and environmental benefits, it is limited by the lack of a straightforward mix design method. In this paper, an experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of control factors, including the Na<sub>2</sub>O/binder...journal article 2023

Roosenbrand, E.J. (author), Sun, Junzi (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)As global flight volume rises, the aviation industry is facing increasing climate challenges. One major factor is the impact of contrails, which trap outgoing terrestrial radiation and counteract emission reduction benefits from emission-optimized flight routes. Our study quantifies contrail-forming flights globally and assesses altitude...journal article 2023
