Vibration Response Characteristics of the Cross Tunnel Structure

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2016
It is well known that the tunnel structure will lose its function under the long-term repeated function of the vibration effect. A prime example is the Xi’an cross tunnel structure (CTS) of Metro Line 2 and the Yongningmen tunnel, where the vibration ...

Population dynamics, survival, and movements of Texas tortoises in a national park in southern Texas

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
Texas tortoise abundance in a small national park in South Texas, USA, declined by >25%, from an estimated 273 tortoises in 2014 to 204 tortoises in 2024. The severity of the decline varied across survey units, but abundance remained highest in areas having greater canopy cover and experiencing less invasion by Guinea grass.

Why Autonomous Vehicles Are Not Ready Yet: A Multi‐Disciplinary Review of Problems, Attempted Solutions, and Future Directions

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 2254-2341, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Personal autonomous vehicles can sense their surrounding environment, plan their route, and drive with little or no involvement of human drivers. Despite the latest technological advancements and the hopeful announcements made by leading entrepreneurs, to date no personal vehicle is approved for road circulation in a “fully” or “semi ...

Agrarian counterpoint

open access: yesAmerican Ethnologist, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 171-182, May 2026.
Abstract In Colombia's northeastern borderlands, agrarian economies shape how disease risk and stigma are understood and managed. As shown in ethnographic fieldwork in and around the Catatumbo region, cutaneous leishmaniasis—a sandfly‐transmitted disease that produces chronic skin lesions—appears in two radically different guises across adjacent ...

Static controller for ventilation of highway tunnels

open access: yesTunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 2006
A control scheme for highway tunnels is proposed based on a static model of the highway tunnel. The controller is designed to keep the exhaust levels inside the tunnel below given limits. The controller is derived in two stages. First, a controller for an isolated ventilation section is found.
