Improvement of Border Characteristics of Jointless Track Circuit

IEEJ Transactions on Industry Applications, 1998
The track circuit uses the rail as part of the circuit. The purposes of the track circuit are (1) to detect the train, (2) to transmit signals to the train, and (3) to detect rail breaks. There are two types of track circuit. One uses insulation joints at the end of the circuit, and the other is jointless.

SSI‐induced seismic earth pressures on an integral abutment bridge model: Experimental measurements versus numerical simulations and code provisions

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 53, Issue 15, Page 4830-4852, December 2024.
Abstract Integral abutment bridges (IABs) generate strong soil–structure interaction (SSI) effects due to their high structural stiffness and transmission of inertial and thermal loads generated at the deck directly to the abutments. Despite an increasing number of experimental and numerical studies available in the literature, there is a lack of ...

Development and regulation of pedicel abscission in tomato

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
To shed unfertilized flowers or ripe fruits, many plant species develop a pedicel abscission zone (AZ), a specialized tissue that develops between the organ and the main body of the plant.

Simplified modified tension chord model: An alternative crack width calculation model to Eurocode 2 and fib model codes

Structural Concrete, Volume 25, Issue 6, Page 4586-4608, December 2024.
Abstract This paper proposes a new design code formulation for calculating crack widths for regular and more special reinforced concrete (RC) members. The more comprehensive Modified Tension Chord Model (MTCM) has been simplified (SMTCM) to facilitate an alternative method for calculating crack widths to Eurocode 2 and fib Model Codes.

An investigation on the effect of cyclic displacement on the integral bridge abutment

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2014
The integral bridge abutment, as a special type of retaining wall, is subject to cyclic displacement, which is due to the daily and seasonal temperature variations. The frame of this type of bridges is rigid and jointless.

A MYB transcription factor underlying plant height in sorghum qHT7.1 and maize Brachytic 1 loci

The Plant Journal, Volume 120, Issue 5, Page 2172-2192, December 2024.
SUMMARY Manipulating plant height is an essential component of crop improvement. Plant height was generally reduced through breeding in wheat, rice, and sorghum to resist lodging and increase grain yield but kept high for bioenergy crops. Here, we positionally cloned a plant height quantitative trait locus (QTL) qHT7.1 as a MYB transcription factor ...

Chemical prestressing of concrete structures; state of the art review

Structural Concrete, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 1450-1464, April 2024.
Abstract Chemical prestressing was developed during the 1960s; however, and due to technical difficulties at that time, the technology was not considered as an alternative to conventional prestressing; instead, it was only used as a shrinkage compensating method. Still, recent development in concrete technology encouraged several researchers to revisit
