Men, Jinkun (author), Chen, Guohua (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Wu, Yue (author), Huang, Hailing (author)An earthquake-triggered fire domino scenario (E-FDS) is an example of a typical multi-hazard coupling event. The seismic damage can affect the fire resistance of engineering structures, leading to significant mutually amplified phenomena. In this work, a two-stage experimental program is designed to expound the earthquake-fire coupling...journal article 2024

Li, Shenyang (author)This thesis describes the design of a 3rd order 1-bit delta-sigma modulator whose input-signal range (0 to 1.95V) exceeds its supply voltage (1.2V). By using a passive input stage and a single-OTA resonator, this beyond-the-rails modulator realizes a 3rd order loop filter with only two amplifiers instead of the usual three and thus achieves...master thesis 2023

Zhang, Yizhuo (author)The urban spaces that arise as a result of urban shrinkage and decay are loosely defined (Franck & Stevens, 2007). The ambiguity of these spaces provides a potential outlet for accidental or spontaneous encounters, informal activities and alternatives to our increasingly commodified, controlled and privatised 'open' urban spaces. Many...master thesis 2023

Lourenço Baptista, M. (author), Prendinger, Helmut (author)Prognostics and health management is an engineering discipline that aims to support system operation while ensuring maximum safety and performance. Prognostics is a key step of this framework, focusing on developing effective maintenance policies based on predictive methods. Traditionally, prognostics models forecast the degradation process...journal article 2023

Generowicz, Bastian S. (author), Dijkhuizen, Stephanie (author), Bosman, Laurens W.J. (author), De Zeeuw, Chris I. (author), Koekkoek, Sebastiaan K.E. (author), Kruizinga, P. (author)Functional ultrasound (fUS) using a 1-D-array transducer normally is insufficient to capture volumetric functional activity due to being restricted to imaging a single brain slice at a time. Typically, for volumetric fUS, functional recordings are repeated many times as the transducer is moved to a new location after each recording, resulting...journal article 2023

Generowicz, Bastian S. (author), Dijkhuizen, Stephanie (author), De Zeeuw, Chris I. (author), Koekkoek, Sebastiaan K.E. (author), Kruizinga, P. (author)Volumetric 3-D Doppler ultrasound imaging can be used to investigate large scale blood dynamics outside of the limited view that conventional 2-D power Doppler images (PDIs) provide. To create 3-D PDIs, 2-D-matrix array transducers can be used to insonify a large volume for every transmission; however, these matrices suffer from low...journal article 2023

Liu, Lian (author), Bricker, J.D. (author), Hu, Chao (author)Early initial impoundment can generate additional revenue but bring more flood risk in late-stage construction diversion. In view of the possible flood risk and catastrophic consequences caused by high dam failures induced by early impoundment, a comprehensive assessment is proposed. Taking the Lianghekou high rockfill dam on the Yalong River...journal article 2023
