Digital documentation of railway tunnel inspection in Austria
Abstract Infrastructure, especially railway tunnels, require continuous inspection to ensure their safety. Furthermore, the detection of damages at an early stage can improve their service life. These tasks represent a major challenge for those involved and the tunnel down time is a disruption in operation.

On the feasibility of Bluetooth, Zigbee and IEEE 802.15.4 technologies on board high speed trains [PDF]
This paper studies the feasibility of using low-power wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee in high-speed railway scenarios that involve bidirectional land-to-train communication.

Investigating the Cytoskeleton of DRGs Using Cryo‐Electron Microscopy and Deep Learning
ABSTRACT We describe a method for determining the ultrastructural organization of axons and varicosities of cultured dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo‐EM). Cryo‐EM reveals the dimensions, proximity, and overall organization of biological specimens in a near‐native state, avoiding artifacts of fixation and ...

A Numerical Model of Vapour Transfer and Phase Change in Unsaturated Freezing Soils
In recent studies, vapour transfer is reported to lead to remarkable frost heave in unsaturated soils, but how to better model this process has not been answered. In order to avoid the great uncertainty caused by the phase change term of vapour-water-ice

An Estimation of the Heat Load Distribution on the Divertor Target Using the CSD Model
ABSTRACT Handling the heat load on the divertor target is a critical issue in the design of fusion reactors. Estimating the heat load, supported by computationally efficient simulations with varying design parameters, provides valuable input to high‐level design discussions and the development of design guidelines.

Reducing Railway Noise with Porous Sound-Absorbing Concrete Slabs
The effect of porous sound-absorbing concrete slabs on railway noise reduction is examined in this paper. First, the acoustical absorption coefficients of porous concrete materials with various aggregate types, gradations, fibre contents, and compaction ...

Creep properties and constitutive model of diabase in deep water conveyance tunnels
The axial and lateral creep characteristics of diabase were analyzed based on compression creep tests. The nonlinear viscoelastic‐plastic model capable of describing the whole creep process was established based on the fractional derivative and damage theories.
