Top-of-Rail Lubricants: Potential Risks and Benefits [PDF]

open access: yesi-RISE 2018, 2018
Top-of-rail (TOR) lubricants represent modern approach for friction modification between wheel and rail. The main goal of this study was to investigate potential risks and benefits associated with the application of these products, especially in terms of adhesion, wear, and noise. For this purpose, both laboratory and field experiments were carried out.

Effects of Induced Current From High-Voltage Transmission Lines on Voltage-Limiting Device Operation in Electrified Monorail Systems

open access: yesIEEE Access
Voltage-limiting devices (VLDs) are installed in DC railways to limit rail potential and touch voltage by momentarily bonding the negative return conductor to the station grounding grid.

Uncovering the Real Potential for Air–Rail Substitution: An Exploratory Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
While air to rail substitution is much discussed, in the literature and in the policy debate, there has still been no attempt to quantify the potential for such mode substitution in order to examine the extent to which High Speed Train (HST) might address the main problems faced by the air transport industry: the capacity shortage on the one hand and ...

Exploring the psychological factors involved in the Ladbroke Grove rail accident [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Ten years after the event and the question as to exactly why a driver passed a signal at danger to cause the Ladbroke Grove rail disaster is still an open one.

Printed Integrated Logic Circuits Based on Chitosan‐Gated Organic Transistors for Future Edible Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Edible electronics needs integrated logic circuits for computation and control. This work presents a potentially edible printed chitosan‐gated transistor with a design optimized for integration in circuits. Its implementation in integrated logic gates and circuits operating at low voltage (0.7 V) is demonstrated, as well as the compatibility with an ...

The marginal social cost of road and rail: Implications for rail investment and pricing [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
An important issue for transport policy is whether more investment should be devoted to rail schemes and less to road schemes and vice versa. This raises the problem of comparing the returns from investments in the two modes currently assessed on a ...

Viral Infection‐Inspired Autonomous Detection of Fusion‐Competent Viruses for Screening and Environmental Surveillance

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by viral entry mechanisms, the FUSION assay enables autonomous detection of respiratory viruses via membrane fusion–triggered CRISPR‐Cas13a activation. VEACON selectively fuses with fusion‐competent viruses, triggering fluorescence within confined vesicles.

Airlines' network analysis on an air-rail multimodal system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
This article explores the potential impact of short-haul flight bans in Spain. We build the rail and flight network for the Spanish peninsula, merging openly available ADS-B-based data, for the reconstruction of air schedules and aircraft rotations, and ...
