The development of rail-head acoustic roughness

open access: yes, 2009
A model of the development of rail-head acoustic roughness on tangent track has been formulated. The model consists of a two-dimensional time domain wheel-rail interaction force calculation, with the normal force used as the input to a two-dimensional ...

Automatic Detection of the Running Surface of Railway Tracks Based on Laser Profilometer Data and Supervised Machine Learning

open access: yesSensors
The measurement of the longitudinal rail profile is relevant to the condition monitoring of the rail infrastructure. The running surface is recognizable as a shiny metallic area on top of the rail head. The detection of the running surface is crucial for

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

A Novel Distributed Sensor Network to Assess Wind Turbine Blade Acoustics for Structural Health Monitoring

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT To reduce the need for scheduled wind turbine blade inspections and large‐scale repairs, a novel distributed acoustic sensing system for monitoring the structural health of wind turbine blades is proposed. This integral passive monitoring system utilizes a sparse array of in‐blade multimodal sensors and a single blade‐external downtower sensor,

Assessing responses of reef island seabirds to environmental and anthropogenic drivers

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Tropical insular ecosystems face escalating, cumulative impacts of land‐ and sea‐based ecological threats that jeopardize the long‐term sustainability of their native communities. This joint vulnerability is epitomized by reef island seabirds, which are exposed to reef decline and coastal erosion driven by climate change, reduction in prey ...

Artificial Intelligence in Public Procurement: Aligning Operational Capacity, Legitimacy, and Public Value

open access: yesJournal of Business Logistics, Volume 47, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Public procurement is adopting artificial intelligence (AI) more slowly than private‐sector procurement, despite similar operational opportunities. We analyze this gap through Moore's Strategic Triangle (ST), focusing on public value, operational capacity, and legitimacy and support.
