A feasibility study on in-service non-destructive inspection of railway rails by an ultrasonic technique based on travelling electromagnetic acoustic transducers

Railway Engineering Science
This study explores the feasibility of electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) for ultrasonic rail inspection, focusing on bulk wave generation from the rail head and on defect detection at the central part of the rail foot. As a contactless method,

Evolution of the Contact-Fatigue Defects Caused Rail Failure Rate

Вестник Научно-исследовательского института железнодорожного транспорта, 2015
There is discussed current situation and problems of rail damageability in operation. It has been indicated that contact-fatigue defects coded as 10, 11, 17, 21 in the standing catalogue of rail defects represent the main type of rail defects responsible

Trauma and affect in a Holocaust survivor's story: Rosita Fanto's novel Rozalia Alone

Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.
Abstract My article endeavors to redress the neglect of Rosita Fanto's Rozalia Alone (2010), which deals with a page of history that is less known worldwide, the Holocaust in Romania. Using a trauma studies perspective that mixes with affect theory, the article demonstrates that Rozalia Alone covers in a nutshell the whole magnitude of the late 1930s ...
