Dynamic effect of high speed railway traffic loads on the ballast track settlement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The traditional ballast track structures are still being used in high speed railways lines with success, however technical problems or performance features have led to non-ballast track solution in some cases.

A physically based fluorescent lamp model for a SPICE or a simulink environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper describes a method of modeling fluorescent lamps. The lamp model can be implemented in all major circuit simulation software packages, an example has been given for SPICE and Simulink.

Mesoscale Circulation and Coral Community Disturbance at Isolated Reefs

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, EarlyView.
The Loop Current is a seasonally and interannually dynamic mesoscale oceanographic feature in the Gulf of Mexico that strongly influences connectivity and environmental conditions across the region. We investigated the influence of Loop Current variability on coral reef disturbances at isolated reefs in the northwest Gulf, including coral disease ...

Metal Hydrides‐Based Hydrogen Purification Systems—A Review

open access: yesMetalMat, EarlyView.
Metal hydrides as an innovative means to purify hydrogen can enable new avenues in the use of hydrogen as a clean energy vector across its production methods. ABSTRACT This review investigates the critical role of purification for enabling the use of hydrogen from various production pathways.

Rail Track Maintenance Planning: An Assessment Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
In Australia, railway track maintenance costs comprise between 25-35 percent of total freight train operating costs. Track maintenance planning models have been shown to reduce maintenance costs by 5 to 10 percent though improved planning.

Collaborative Sampling and Imaging of Phytoplankton Communities by Two Long‐Range Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Using Acoustic Tracking and Messaging

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collaborative operation of multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) can effectively achieve scientific goals that are hard to achieve by independently operated vehicles. Some science payloads are large, expensive, and need to be installed in the vehicle's nose cone. A vehicle can only carry one such payload.

Anti-Thixotropic Non-Newtonian Fluid in Complex Conduct: Gluing Process Simulation of Railway Ballast

open access: yesApplied Rheology, 2015
An elasto-visco-plastic model of the Cauchy stress is proposed for gluing solution of railway ballast, with an asymptotic timedependent viscosity accounting for the anti-thixotropic and shear-thickening features.

Sampling Methodologies and Approaches for Ballast Water Management Compliance Monitoring

open access: yesPromet (Zagreb), 2011
The human-mediated transfer of harmful organisms via shipping, especially via ballast water transport, has raised considerable attention especially in the last decade due to the negative associated impacts.

Quantification of the Mechanized Ballast Cleaning Process Efficiency Using GPR Technology

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) has been used recently for diagnostics of the railway infrastructure, particularly the ballast layer. To overcome ballast fouling, mechanized ballast cleaning process, which increases track occupancy time and cost, is ...
