Sorry for any Inconvenience Caused: Why Britain Messed up High Speed Rail

open access: yesThe Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 2, Page 287-295, April/June 2025.
Abstract High Speed 2—the planned new railway from London to the north of England—is one of the largest and most controversial public sector investment projects Britain has attempted in decades. Much has been written about the huge cost overruns that the project has suffered, and why this led to the eventual cancellation of the line beyond its first ...

An investigation of the effect of vibration duration on the evaluation of subjective responses to horizontal vibration

open access: yesJAPAN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–December 2025.
A laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate an evaluation method for building habitability based on subjective responses to vibrations caused by external sources. Subjective responses were measured in terms of “magnitude,” “concern,” and “discomfort,” The study compared several domestic and international evaluation methods for environmental ...

Train operation simulation and capacity analysis for a high‐speed maglev station

open access: yesIET Intelligent Transport Systems, Volume 19, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
Focusing on the transportation organization characteristics of the high‐speed maglev station, this article simulates the train operation process based on the train running calculation and operation scheme of multi‐type trains, and analyzes the capacity of the station based on the simulation for multi‐type trains and typical‐layout stations.

Experimental Investigation of Aerodynamic Noise Generated by a Train-Car Gap

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2007
To investigate the mechanism of noise generation by a train-car gap, which is one of a major source of noise in Shinkansen trains, experiments were carried out in a wind tunnel using a 1/5-scale model train.

Optimization of Skip‐Stop Train Schedule in Urban Rail Transit Under Virtual Coupling

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Transportation, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Virtual coupling technology enables decoupling and coupling operations of trains more flexible, and the tracking interval between trains is also shortened. This paper analyzes the advantages of virtual coupling technology in the application of skip‐stop operation, and operation strategies based on real‐time train coupling and decoupling are proposed ...

Nonlinear vibrations of a moving rail-vehicle excited by snaking and lateral impacts of wheel sets

open access: yesComputer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science, 2022
The paper develops a theory of physically non-linear vibrations of a rail-vehicle moving on a rectilinear and non-deformable track. The vibrations are excited by snaking and lateral impacts of the wheel sets.

The effectiveness and impact of disinfection with chlorine on embryos and early hatchlings of two Western Pacific octopus species

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 55, Issue 4, August 2024.
Abstract Replicating maternal care and incubating octopus embryos artificially is advantageous to improve access to embryonic stages, split and share broods, and reduce the required space to culture large quantities of embryos. However, without female care and adequate rearing systems, the risk of bacterial and fungal infections can be high. This study
