Liu, Lian (author), Menenti, M. (author), Ma, Yaoming (author)Meteorological variables (e.g., air temperature (T2), radiation flux, and precipitation) determine the evolution of glacier mass and characteristics. Observations of these variables are not available with adequate spatial coverage and spatiotemporal resolution over the Tibetan Plateau. Albedo is the key factor of net radiation and is determined...journal article 2022

Huang, N. (author), Ma, Yutao (author)We use tridiagonal models to study the limiting behavior of β-Laguerre and β-Jacobi ensembles, focusing on the limiting behavior of the extremal eigenvalues and the central limit theorem for the two ensembles. For the central limit theorem of β-Laguerre ensembles, we follow the idea in [1] while giving a modified version for the generalized...journal article 2022

Ma, C. (author), Liu, H. (author), Wolterbeek, H.T. (author), Denkova, A.G. (author), Serra Crespo, P. (author)Four different MOFs were exposed to γrays by a cobalt-60 source reaching a maximum dose of 5 MGy. The results showed that the MIL-100 (Cr) and MIL-100 (Fe) did not exhibit obvious structural damage, suggesting their excellent radiation stability. MIL-101 (Cr) showed good radiation stability up to 4 MGy, but its structure started degrading...journal article 2022

Ahmad, T. (author), Ma, Chengxin (author), Al-Ars, Z. (author), Hofstee, H.P. (author)Current cluster scaled genomics data processing solutions rely on big data frameworks like Apache Spark, Hadoop and HDFS for data scheduling, processing and storage. These frameworks come with additional computation and memory overheads by default. It has been observed that scaling genomics dataset processing beyond 32 nodes is not efficient on...conference paper 2022

Xu, Jingyi (author), Li, Z. (author), Gao, Li (author), Ma, Junyi (author), Liu, Qi (author), Zhao, Yanan (author)The deep reinforcement learning-based energy management strategies (EMS) have become a promising solution for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). When driving cycles are changed, the neural network will be retrained, which is a time-consuming and laborious task. A more efficient way of choosing EMS is to combine deep reinforcement learning (DRL)...conference paper 2022

(author), Dai, Hongjie (author)Light scattering by biological tissues sets a limit to the penetration depth of high-resolution optical microscopy imaging of live mammals in vivo. An effective approach to reduce light scattering and increase imaging depth is to extend the excitation and emission wavelengths to the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) at >1,000 nm, also...journal article 2022

Ma, Yunjian (author), Liang, Hongjing (author), Zhao, Zexin (author), Wu, Bin (author), Lan, Dongming (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Wang, Yonghua (author)Unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs, EC 1.11.2.1) are promising oxyfunctionalization catalysts because of their unique stereoselectivity. However, so far only a few UPOs have been reported. In this study, gene mining was used to identify a gene from Galerina marginata that coded for a novel UPO (GmaUPO). GmaUPO was expressed in Pichia pastoris X...journal article 2022

Zhang, Qiming (author), Han, Yazhou (author), van Horssen, W.T. (author), Ma, Manjun (author)In this paper the wave propagation dynamics of a Lotka-Volterra type of model with cubic competition is studied. The existence of traveling waves and the uniqueness of spreading speeds are established. It is also shown that the spreading speed is equal to the minimal speed for traveling waves. Furthermore, general conditions for the linear or...journal article 2022

Ma, L. (author)Complex systems are made up of many interconnected components. The interactions between components further produce emerging complex collective behaviors. In most cases, a complex system can be represented as a network in which the nodes represent the elements and the connected links illustrate the interactions.
