Rail wear rate on the Belgian railway network: a big-data analysis

open access: yes, 2023
This paper presents a big data-based analysis of the rail wear of the whole Belgian railway network measured in 2012 and 2019. Wear rates are reported, discussed, and quantitatively formulated as functions of critical factors in terms of curve radius ...

A “Tech First” Approach to Foreign Policy? The Three Meanings of Tech Diplomacy

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Scholars have recently argued that international politics is plagued by instability as the world rapidly transitions from one crisis to another. This state of “Permacrisis,” or permanent crises between states, is driven by technological innovations which create new kinds of crises and drive competitions between adversarial states.

Friction and wear simulation of the wheel–rail interface

open access: yes, 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.

Who Makes the Far Right? Exploring Membership Application Data of the National Front of Australia

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.
This paper addresses a problem for scholars examining the question of who supports far right political parties or movements. Due to the semi‐clandestine or oppositional nature of far right groups, historians, as well as those in adjacent disciplines, have often been unable to gain access to sufficient records or data to conduct analysis of who supports

Seizure and wear rate testing of wheel–rail contacts under lubricated conditions using pin-on-disc methodology

open access: yes, 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.

Study on modeling and numerical analysis for the prediction of wheel wear development

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal, 2017
The rights-of-way of urban railway systems contain many sharp curves. Since sharp curves can contribute to wheel and rail wear, the ability to predict the development of wheel wear is crucial to maintaining safe operation of such systems.

Neurodevelopmental Phenotypes and Brain Anomalies in Individuals With Heterozygous SEMA6A Variants

open access: yesClinical Genetics, EarlyView.
SEMA6A plays a role in cell migration and axon guidance in the developing central nervous system. Phenotypes seen in eleven individuals heterozygous for SEMA6A variants included developmental delay, intellectual disability, autism/autistic behaviors, behavioral abnormalities, attention disorders, hypotonia, and brain anomalies.

Wheel / Rail Wear and Noise Control of Rail Transit Vehicles Based on Wheel / Rail Lubrication

open access: yes机车电传动, 2020
In view of the problem of wheel/ rail wear and noise of rail transit vehicles, a method of controlling wheel /rail friction coefficient was proposed. Through the analysis of the influence of wheel /rail lubrication on wheel /rail friction and noise, it ...

Feasibility Study for Wear Resistance of Rails

open access: yesJournal of The Korean Society of Manufacturing Technology Engineers, 2014
Rails are continuously exposed to severe environments due to increases in train service frequency, passing tonnage, and speed. Wear is one of the most common types of damage observed on rails. The surface of railsis heat treated to secure safety at critical sites, such as curved tracks or turnouts.
