The aesthetic sublime of megaproject structures: A framework and a research agenda
European Management Review, EarlyView.Abstract The physical structures of megaprojects—such as mega‐canals, metros, railway lines, bridges, tunnels, and iconic opera houses—hold a profound capacity to generate aesthetic experiences with enduring societal impact. Yet, research on megaprojects has predominantly focused on functionality and economic rationale with aesthetics being pushed to ...

Track wear-and-tear cost by traffic class: Functional form, zero output levels and marginal cost pricing recovery on the French rail network [PDF]
We address the issue of the allocation of railway track maintenance (wear-and-tear) costs to traffic output classes and consider a very general function relating maintenance cost C to a set of technical production characteristics K used to produce ...

Connectivity and Selective Rural Migration
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT How does infrastructure shape rural development? Using household panel data from a nationally representative sample of Chinese villages, matched to high‐resolution highway maps, we find that road expansion between 2000 and 2015 operates mainly through reallocation, with less productive farmers scaling down or exiting and more productive ...

Friction and wear simulation of the wheel–rail interface
, 2009 The conditions in wheel rail contacts can be both mild and severe. Predicting the friction and the wear in such contacts is generally thought to be rather difficult and uncertain.

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract Three novel taxa in the Coleofasciculales were observed in hot springs in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States, and in the Tabaconcito thermal springs on the Rio Tabacón in Costa Rica. Flavicapitulum vaporiphilum gen. et sp. nov. was located in a supported clade with Gracilinea and Marmoreocelis.

Improved detection algorithm for rail profile wear based on line structured light
机车电传动The classical Iterative Closest Point (ICP) registration algorithm is commonly applied to rail profile wear detection systems. However, during the operation of track inspection vehicles, the profile data collected by the rail profile wear detection ...

Home sweet harm: Confinement and tranquilidad in post‐asylum Peru
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines how Peru's Community Mental Health (CMH) model contributes to the exclusion and home confinement of mentally ill individuals. Based on the experience of a woman diagnosed with schizophrenia and her mother, I show how CMH's emphasis on community‐based care often fails in practice, as neighbors respond to people with mental

, 2008 An increased wear rate and a shift of wear mechanism in the wheel-rail contact has been observed in tight curves, mainly due to the change from an almost pure rolling contact to more of a sliding contact.
