Large, rugged and remote: The challenge of wolf–livestock coexistence on federal lands in the American West

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The expansion of grey wolves (Canis lupus) across the western United States, including on public lands used for extensive livestock grazing, requires tools and techniques for reducing wolf–livestock conflict and supporting coexistence. We examined approaches used on forested lands managed by the U.S.

Fatigue analysis of catenary contact wires for high speed trains [PDF]

, 2011
The fatigue fracture is one of the most critical failures which may occur on the high speed network because it is undetectable and it has a huge impact on traffic disruption.

Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...

Thirty years of glyphosate‐resistant crops and weeds: Current situation and future prospects

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Since 1996, when the first glyphosate‐resistant crop was commercialized and the first resistant weed was reported, resistance has expanded globally. This review analyzes emergence patterns across weed species, crops, regions, resistance mechanisms, and herbicides.

Switch Rail Reduction Value Deviation’s Impact on Wheel–Rail Dynamic Interaction and Its Efficient Identification Method: A Numerical and Experimental Study

Applied Sciences
Railway turnout is a critical railway infrastructure that guides trains in switching tracks. Over time, uneven rail wear can lead to switch rail reduction value (SRRV) deviation, a typical structural defect that compromises turnout functionality and ...

High speed train communications systems using free space optics [PDF]

, 2010
In this work, we propose a broad-band free space optical (FSO) wireless communications system for high-speed trains. The system consists of optical transceivers positioned outside the train and along the railway track.

Comparison of Conventional, Rake, and Sonar‐Based Biophysical Habitat Measurements in a Shallow Ontario River

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Knowledge of habitat availability is critically important for the management and recovery of freshwater species. Quantifying habitat availability often requires fine‐scale sampling at point‐based locations across a large geographic extent, which can be laboursome.
