Do the public take action when a severe snow warning is issued?
Weather, EarlyView.Extreme weather events pose significant risks to the population, making timely warnings essential for preparedness. The UK Met Office’s National Severe Weather Warning Service (NSWWS) has issued impact‐based alerts for over a decade, yet evaluations of their effectiveness remain limited.

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper provides an overview of high‐temperature superconducting (HTS) cables in DC systems, with a focus on their deployment in high‐voltage DC (HVDC) networks. The assessment of HTS cable properties—such as extremely low electrical resistance, high current‐carrying capacity and a compact geometry—and their comparison with those of ...

Reliability of rail transverse flaw detection by means of an embedded ultrasonic based device
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 The main causes of train derailment are related to rail defects such as head surface defects, horizontal defects, vertical longitudinal split defects, star cracks at colt holes and diagonal crack in web. The most adverse form of these defects consists of

Forces Behind South Australia's Unusual Structural Changes Since 1840
Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The agricultural sector's share of GDP in growing economies typically declines but, for a century from the early 1850s, Australia's did not. That trend is most evident for the former colony and now State of South Australia (SA). Moreover, that share for SA has been almost flat since 1980 as well, along with the agricultural sector's share of ...

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract From desert ski resorts to subtropical Winter Games, there is a global proliferation of ‘mission‐impossible’ mega‐projects. The prevailing frameworks of city branding and urban entrepreneurism fail to explain the political logics behind these seemingly irrational projects.

Research on Rail Surface Defect Detection Based on Improved CenterNet
ElectronicsRail surface defect detection is vital for railway safety. Traditional methods falter with varying defect sizes and complex backgrounds, while two-stage deep learning models, though accurate, lack real-time capabilities.
