Zhou, Jianmin (author), Ding, Lei (author), Shi, Mu (author), Lindeboom, R.E.F. (author), Cui, Changzheng (author)In the envisaged hydrogen economy, H<sub>2</sub> could be an interesting alternative electron donor for the denitrification of drinking water or wastewater. The main obstacle to engineering the hydrogenotrophic denitrification process is the low solubility of H<sub>2</sub> in water under atmospheric pressure, which limits denitrification rate...journal article 2022

Zhou, H. (author), Chahine, I. (author), Zheng, Wei Xing (author), Pan, W. (author)This paper proposes a sparse Bayesian treatment of deep neural networks (DNNs) for system identification. Although DNNs show impressive approximation ability in various fields, several challenges still exist for system identification problems. First, DNNs are known to be too complex that they can easily overfit the training data. Second, the...journal article 2022

Zhou, Jianfeng (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)A fire accident is one the most dangerous accidents that may lead to knock-on effects, especially in the plants dealing with large quantities of hazardous substances. Different from other accidents, e.g., explosions, fires can last certain period of time and the thermal radiations emitted by them have a synergistic effect. At the same time, the...journal article 2022
