An end-to-end approach to detect railway track defects based on supervised and self-supervised learning

Results in Engineering
Railway infrastructure is critical for the safe and efficient transportation of goods and people. However, defects in rail tracks can lead to severe accidents, resulting in significant human and financial losses. This study presents the development of an

Effects of surface defects on rolling contact fatigue of rail

, 2011
Rolling contact fatigue damages on the surface of rail such as head check, squats are one of growing problems. Squats are originated from the white etching layer (WEL) or the dent on rail surface and accompanied with dark spots including cracks.

Keep on Keepin’ on Down Under: Administrative Heritage and the Strategic Realignment of Multinational Enterprises in Australia During Deglobalization, 1914–79

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract We analyse the behaviour of multinational enterprises (MNEs) within a host nation – Australia – during deglobalization (1914–79). Deglobalization is often portrayed as a drastic event to which MNEs respond swiftly, probably through withdrawal from host countries.

Repair of Discrete Rail Head Defects – A Novel Technology

, 2018
The complexity and severity of contact stresses at the rail-wheel interface coupled with operational conditions of acceleration and braking can lead to the formation of discrete defects such as squats and wheel burns even in the best maintained railway ...

Home sweet harm: Confinement and tranquilidad in post‐asylum Peru

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how Peru's Community Mental Health (CMH) model contributes to the exclusion and home confinement of mentally ill individuals. Based on the experience of a woman diagnosed with schizophrenia and her mother, I show how CMH's emphasis on community‐based care often fails in practice, as neighbors respond to people with mental
