Contributions of early and late cover provision to the abundance and diversity of invertebrate prey for Corncrakes (Crex crex)

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
Early and late cover (ELC) provides important habitat for ground‐dwelling invertebrates and significantly increases the abundance of Corncrake prey during key stages of the breeding season. Using mixed models, we show that ELC supports higher prey abundance than unmanaged natural regeneration cover and surrounding farmland.

Influence of Sleeper Distance on Rail Corrugation Growth

, 2018
Rail corrugation is commonly found in most railway tracks worldwide. However, there is no solution to stop corrugation from growing. Therefore, to minimise corrugation growth, this paper aims to model, analyse, and predict rail corrugation growth under ...

Mechanism of short pitch rail corrugation: initial excitation and frequency selection for consistent initiation and growth

, 2022
This paper proposes a new hypothesis for the formation process of short pitch rail corrugation. An FE wheel-track dynamic model is utilized to verify the hypothesis by reproducing corrugation initiation and consistent growth.

Photovoltaic‐Assisted Energy Optimization for High‐Speed Train Performance in South Africa Intercity Electric Rail Corridors

The Journal of Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Decarbonizing the intercity rail in sub‐Saharan Africa requires the use of energy architectures that go beyond traditional grid reliance at the expense of traction performance. This paper introduces a novel photovoltaic (PV)‐assisted hybrid traction topology for a 42 km Pretoria–Sandton rail corridor in South Africa, where between‐rail PV ...
