Caring with forests: Human and more‐than‐human care in forest occupations in Germany
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Drawing on ongoing ethnographic and participatory action research within forest occupations in Germany, this paper develops the concept of ‘caring with forests’ to theorise the mutual, multidimensional relationships of care that emerge between humans and more‐than‐human beings in environmental protest settings.

Link and effect model for performance improvement of railway infrastructure [Elektronisk resurs]
, 2012 Railway traffic has increased over the last decade and it is believed to increase further with transportation shifting from road to rail, due to rising energy costs and the demand to reduce emissions.

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Electric multiple unit (EMU) trains, widely used in modern railway transportation, use Nickel–Cadmium (Ni–Cd) batteries to power auxiliary systems on board, including lighting, ventilation, control electronics, and emergency systems. These batteries are often connected in parallel to ensure a wider power supply range for electrical loads that ...

Charging the polluters: A pricing model for road and railway noise [PDF]
This study outlines a method to estimate the short run marginal cost (SRMC) for road and railway noise. It is based on standardized calculation methods for total noise levels and monetary cost estimates from well established evaluation methods.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Government food procurement investment offers significant potential to advance health and sustainability goals; yet, integrating these dimensions into policy design has proved challenging. We mapped and analysed 38 food procurement and catering‐specific policies in Australia to identify ways to strengthen policy design: 20 governing ...

Resilience-based design of precast steel-concrete composites for railway track slabs
, 2015 The relatively high turnover of timber sleepers (crossties in a plain track), bearers (skeleton ties in a turnout), and transoms (bridge cross beams) is responsible for producing greenhouse gas emissions 6 times greater than an equivalent reinforced ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Infrastructure‐led development in rapidly urbanizing economies often generates accessibility gains that fail to translate into balanced urban outcomes, particularly when local fiscal institutions redirect those gains toward revenue‐generating land uses. Filling this gap, especially in fiscally constrained county‐level cities where land finance

Novel method to measure track irregularity based on multiple MEMS-IMU and geometric constraint
Scientific ReportsThe track regularity with high accuracy is crucial important to protect the dynamic safety in high speed and heavy haul railways, normally, the inertial measurement unit (IMU)is capable to provide the precise solution for track irregularity measurement ...

Link and Effect Model for Maintenance of Railway Infrastructure [Elektronisk resurs]
, 2013 Railways are large linear assets of electrical and mechanical systems, and consequently the infrastructure managers (IMs) are extensive with many stakeholder involved. The railway infrastructure and the IMs consist of technical and organisational levels:
