A Wider View: Amie Siegel's Panorama and the Role of Contemporary Art in Natural History Museum Critique and Practice

open access: yesCurator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Panorama, artist Amie Siegel montaged films made by Carnegie Museum of Natural History (CMNH) staff in the 1930s–1970s when documenting their research expeditions and exhibition projects, along with her own footage shot in the museum. Displayed at Carnegie Museum of Art in 2023–2024, the exhibition made visible the often hidden labors of ...

Climate Regulation and ESG Disclosure in Maritime Transport

open access: yesEuropean Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether climate policy signals influence ESG disclosure quality in maritime transport, a capital‐intensive industry responsible for roughly 3% of global CO₂ emissions. Using panel data from 126 listed shipping firms between 2009 and 2023, we construct an author‐based disclosure quality index and treat the IMO's 2018 ...

Fatigue Crack Modeling of Railheads Using a Nonlinear Cohesive Zone Model

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Subsurface fatigue crack growth within railheads can be deleterious leading to catastrophic failures in rails. This study aims to model the fatigue crack growth originating at the subsurface level within railheads. Towards that end, a finite element modeling approach is utilized wherein complex crack growth is explicitly modeled using a ...

A Hybrid System for Defect Detection on Rail Lines through the Fusion of Object and Context Information

open access: yesSensors
Defect detection on rail lines is essential for ensuring safe and efficient transportation. Current image analysis methods with deep neural networks (DNNs) for defect detection often focus on the defects themselves while ignoring the related context.
