Xiao, Jing (author), Wei, Qi-Qin (author), Yang, Duo Guo (author), Zhang, Ping (author), He, Ning (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Chen, Xian Ping (author)The slot waveguide has attracted considerable attention because of its ability to confine and guide electromagnetic energy at the subwavelength scale beyond the diffraction limit. We propose a novel terahertz slot waveguide structure to achieve a better tradeoff between propagation length and field confinement capacity, the novel waveguide...journal article 2017

He, D. (author), Pang, Y. (author), Lodewijks, G. (author)Belt conveyors can be partially loaded due to the variation of bulk material flow loaded onto the conveyor. Speed control attempts to reduce the belt conveyor energy consumption and to enable the green operations of belt conveyors. Current research of speed control rarely takes the conveyor dynamics into account so that speed control lacks...journal article 2017

Zhu, C. (author), Guo, L (author), Tian, B. (author), He, Q (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Estuarine morphodynamics undergo significant changes due to declined sediment supply from river, rising sea-level, and human interferences (Syvitski and Saito, 2007; Syvitski et al., 2009). The Yangtze Estuary is such a case whose decadal morphodynamic evolution was broadly examined. It was documented that the subaqueous delta shifted from...abstract 2017

Guo, L (author), Zhu, C. (author), He, Q (author)Sediment transport provides a critical bridge between hydrodynamics and morphodynamics. Sediment transport behaviour has obvious impacts on morphodynamic development. Long-term morphodynamic modelling enables examination of large scale morphological patterns, such as channel-shoal patterns in estuaries and deltaic channel structures. Non...abstract 2017

Deng, Z. (author), He, Q (author), Chassagne, C. (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author)The flocculation process and modelling of suspended sediment transport in estuarine regions is a hot topic in estuarine science[Winterwerp, 1999]. The flocculation is greatly influenced by biochemical parameters[De Lucas Pardo, 2014]. In this paper, we analyse the impact of algae on the processes of flocculation in the Yangtze Estuary, and we...abstract 2017

Dabrowski, M.M. (author), Stead, D. (author), Yu, Feng (author), He, J. (author)In some of the delta cities which are the most exposed to flooding caused by climate change - like Shenzhen and Guangzhou investigated in this paper - there is surprisingly little recognition of this problem and hardly any action is taken to address it. This paper draws on the insights from these two cases to address the following research...conference paper 2016

He, D. (author), Pang, Y. (author), Lodewijks, G. (author)Belt conveyors play an important role in continuous dry bulk material transport, especially at the mining industry. Speed control is expected to reduce the energy consumption of belt conveyors. Transient operation is the operation of increasing or decreasing conveyor speed for speed control.
