Evaluation of management strategies for the operation of high-speed railways in China [PDF]
, 2002 High-Speed Train (HST) operations have recently been introduced in rail passenger transportation markets worldwide. Although the technologies for such operations have levelled at speeds of around 300 km/h, the operating parameters to be adopted in each ...

Investigating the Cytoskeleton of DRGs Using Cryo‐Electron Microscopy and Deep Learning
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We describe a method for determining the ultrastructural organization of axons and varicosities of cultured dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo‐EM). Cryo‐EM reveals the dimensions, proximity, and overall organization of biological specimens in a near‐native state, avoiding artifacts of fixation and ...

An Estimation of the Heat Load Distribution on the Divertor Target Using the CSD Model
Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Handling the heat load on the divertor target is a critical issue in the design of fusion reactors. Estimating the heat load, supported by computationally efficient simulations with varying design parameters, provides valuable input to high‐level design discussions and the development of design guidelines.

Creep properties and constitutive model of diabase in deep water conveyance tunnels
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.The axial and lateral creep characteristics of diabase were analyzed based on compression creep tests. The nonlinear viscoelastic‐plastic model capable of describing the whole creep process was established based on the fractional derivative and damage theories.
