Bešinović, Nikola (author), Wang, Yihui (author), Zhu, Songwei (author), Quaglietta, E. (author), Tang, Tao (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author)In big cities, the metro lines usually face great pressure caused by huge passengers demand, especially during peak hours. When disruptions occur, passengers accumulate quickly at stations. It is of great importance for dispatchers to take passenger flow control into consideration for the traffic management to ensure passengers' safety and to...journal article 2021

Tang, Shi Yuan (author), Oliehoek, F.A. (author), Irissappane, Athirai A. (author), Zhang, Jie (author)Cross-Entropy Method (CEM) is a gradient-free direct policy search method, which has greater stability and is insensitive to hyperparameter tuning. CEM bears similarity to population-based evolutionary methods, but, rather than using a population it uses a distribution over candidate solutions (policies in our case). Usually, a natural...conference paper 2021

Huang, Zhenyan (author), Tang, Z. (author), Yu, Xiao Peng (author), Shi, Zheng (author), Lin, Ling (author), Tan, Nick Nianxiong (author)This brief presents a 0.65% relative inaccuracy CMOS temperature sensor with a duty-cycle-modulated (DCM) output. It uses a BJT-based front-end to generate a proportional to absolute temperature voltage (V_{PTAT}) and a complementary to absolute temperature voltage (V_{CTAT}), which are then modulated to a digital-friendly duty-cycle output....journal article 2021

Xu, J. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Gao, Fei (author), Tang, Houjun (author), Bauer, P. (author)Three-legs active power decoupling (APD) converters are widely studied in the single-phase grid-connected systems to enhance the circuit lifetime by creating an alternative path for the typical existing dc-side power pulsating ripple. Therefore, this reduces the requirement of smoothing dc capacitors allowing compact designs even with the...journal article 2021

Liu, Zhihui (author), Wang, Li (author), Kong, Fanlei (author), Huang, Xia (author), Tang, Zhi (author), He, Shi (author), Vink, P. (author)BACKGROUND: Many occupations require workers to stand for prolonged periods, which can cause discomfort, pain and even injures. Some supermarkets in life provide a foot pad for checkout staff to let them stand on it at work, thereby reducing standing fatigue caused by standing for a long time. The inclined platform is the same as the foot pad...journal article 2021

Tang, Z. (author), Fang, Yun (author), Yu, Xiao Peng (author), Tan, Nick Nianxiong (author), Shi, Zheng (author), Harpe, Pieter (author)This work presents an energy-efficient diode-based CMOS temperature sensor. It is based on the capacitively biased diode (CBD) working principle and can operate with a 1-V supply voltage. Instead of using a separate CBD front-end and ADC, a new architecture is proposed in which the CBD front-end is directly embedded into the 1st stage of a 1...journal article 2021

Tang, T. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Squazzoni, Flaminio (author), Chorus, C.G. (author)The growing polarization of our societies and economies has been extensively studied in various disciplines and is subject to public controversy. Yet, measuring polarization is hampered by the discrepancy between how polarization is conceptualized and measured. For instance, the notion of group, especially groups that are identified based on...journal article 2021

Tang, T. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Chorus, C.G. (author)In the field of opinion dynamics, the hiding of opinions is routinely modeled as staying silent. However, staying silent is not always feasible. In situations where opinions are indirectly expressed by one’s observable actions, people may however try to hide their opinions via a more complex and intelligent strategy called obfuscation, which...journal article 2021
