Yu, Xinghuo (author), Tang, Changbing (author), Palensky, P. (author), Colombo, Armando (author)Imagine you want to send money to a friend overseas. Wouldn't it be good if you didn't have to pay hefty fees to the intermediaries, and your friend received the funds very quickly? Now imagine ordering parts to make a product in your manufacturing plant. Wouldn't it be great if you were able to verify where each part comes from and have...journal article 2022

Haringa, C. (author), Tang, W. (author), Noorman, H.J. (author)The compartment model (CM) is a well-known approach for computationally affordable, spatially resolved hydrodynamic modeling of unit operations. Recent implementations use flow profiles based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, and several authors included microbial kinetics to simulate gradients in bioreactors. However, these...journal article 2022

Fan, Jiajie (author), Qian, Yichen (author), Chen, Wei (author), Jiang, Jing (author), Tang, Zhuorui (author), Fan, Xuejun (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)A fan-out panel-level packaging (FOPLP) with an embedded redistribution layer (RDL) via interconnection reduces the size, thermal resistance, and parasitic inductance of power module packaging. In this study, the effect of the RDL via size on the reliability of a FOPLP SiC MOSFET power module was investigated. To improve the thermal management...conference paper 2022

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

Ma, Bingtao (author), Liu, Hongsen (author), Nan, L. (author), Tang, Xu (author), Fan, Huijie (author), Cong, Yang (author)The 3D mesh is an important representation of geometric data. It is widely used in computer graphics and has attracted more attention in computer vision community recently. However, in the generation of mesh data, geometric deficiencies (e.g., duplicate elements, degenerate faces, isolated vertices, self-intersection, and inner faces) are...conference paper 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

(author), Schall, Peter (author)Assembled perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), known as supercrystals (SCs), can have many exotic optical and electronic properties different from the individual NCs due to energy transfer and electronic coupling in the dense superstructures. We investigate the optical properties and ultrafast carrier dynamics of highly ordered SCs and 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

Cassottana, Beatrice (author), Aydin, N.Y. (author), Tang, Loon Ching (author)The resilience of water distribution systems (WDSs) has gained increasing attention in recent years. Various performance loss and recovery behaviors have been observed for WDSs subject to disruptions. However, a model for their characterization, which could provide further insight for resilience assessment and enhancement, is still lacking....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
