Multi‐Dimensional Conductive Nanocomposites for Flexible Electronics
Multi‐dimensional conductive nanocomposites integrate 0D, 1D, and 2D nanomaterials through spatial structure regulation and interface engineering, achieving “1 + 1 > 2” synergistic effects. By leveraging 0D filling to reduce contact resistance, 1D bridging to construct continuous conductive paths, and 2D supporting to enhance mechanical stability ...

Low adhesion detection and identification in a railway vehicle system using traction motor behaviour
It is important to monitor the wheel-rail friction coefficient in railway vehicles to improve their traction and braking performance as well as to reduce the number of incidents caused by low friction. Model based fault detection and identification (FDI)

core
The performance of the railway system in terms of dynamic loading is depending mainly on the track support conditions. Usually, the track stiffness is used as the main parameter to describe the support conditions and is defined as the ratio of the load ...

Futures of Transit Work: Contesting Devaluation and Neoliberal Automation in Bus Transit
ABSTRACT Being a bus operator has long meant access to middle class wages, quality benefits, and union membership, forms of security increasingly rare amid growing precarity. But transit is in trouble. In the wake of the COVID‐19 pandemic and decades of disinvestment, bus operators face mounting time pressure, frequent violence, and eroding job ...

Defining the geographical level of competition: a taxonomy of industry tradability
Abstract The paper develops a taxonomy of industry tradability to define the geographical level at which competition takes place. First, it creates a novel dataset that combines production and international trade data for both goods and services industries, defined at a detailed (3‐digit) level of industry aggregation for 15 European countries.

Decisions Under Radical Uncertainty: The Role of Volitional Liminality in Radical Innovation
ABSTRACT Academic Summary Radical innovation management can be understood as an organizational practice that enacts distant futures, which are open‐ended and unknowable. Such radical innovation endeavors are thus characterized by radical uncertainty, where possible futures are not only quantitatively but qualitatively different from the present, and ...
