Self-propelled Worm-like Filaments: Spontaneous Spiral Formation, Structure, and Dynamics
Worm-like filaments that are propelled homogeneously along their tangent vector are studied by Brownian dynamics simulations. Systems in two dimensions are investigated, corresponding to filaments adsorbed to interfaces or surfaces.

Research on the Deformation Mechanism of Railway Subgrade under Buried Strike–Slip Fault Dislocation
With the gradual densification of China’s railway network, more and more railways are inevitably crossing active fault zones. Creep dislocation and stick–slip dislocation of the fault zones can lead to uneven deformation and cracks in the railway ...

Local and Global Information in Obstacle Detection on Railway Tracks [PDF]
Reliable obstacle detection on railways could help prevent collisions that result in injuries and potentially damage or derail the train. Unfortunately, generic object detectors do not have enough classes to account for all possible scenarios, and datasets featuring objects on railways are challenging to obtain.

To build or not to build -- A queueing-based approach to timetable independent railway junction infrastructure dimensioning [PDF]
Many infrastructure managers have the goal to increase the capacity of their railway infrastructure due to an increasing demand. While methods for performance calculations of railway line infrastructure are already well established, the determination of railway junction capacity remains a challenge.

How the planned V0 railway line would increase the resilience of the railway network of Hungary against attacks [PDF]
The spatial distribution of the railway crossings on the river Danube in Hungary is very uneven. There is only one electrified and double-tracked bridge in the country, the Southern Railway Bridge in Budapest. The \'Ujpest bridge in Budapest only provides connection through line 4 which is not electrified and the Baja bridge is not electrified, too ...

Wooden Sleeper Deterioration Detection for Rural Railway Prognostics Using Unsupervised Deeper FCDDs [PDF]
Maintaining high standards for user safety during daily railway operations is crucial for railway managers. To aid in this endeavor, top- or side-view cameras and GPS positioning systems have facilitated progress toward automating periodic inspections of defective features and assessing the deteriorating status of railway components.

Upper-bounding bias errors in satellite navigation
A satellite navigation system for a safety critical application is required to provide an integrity alert of any malfunction; the probability that a navigation positioning error exceeds a given alert limit without an integrity alert is required to be ...

Abstract Occupational nerve injuries span a broad array of pathologies and contribute toward functional limitation, disability, and economic impact. Early and accurate recognition, treatment, and management of workplace factors rely on a thorough understanding of the anatomic and biomechanical factors that drive nerve injury.
