Numerical simulations and experimental analysis of high-speed turnout rails wear models [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThis study analyzed different contact theories and models for simulating rail wear in the turnout areas. The typical cross-sections of the high-speed turnout switch and frog areas are selected.

Can nonpartisan primaries boost turnout and lessen demographic disparities? [PDF]
PLoS ONEU.S. congressional general elections are largely uncompetitive, featuring candidates who emerge from low-turnout primaries. Voters in these primaries are unrepresentative of the broader electorate; primary voters tend to be older and wealthier.

Research on wear and grinding models of high-speed turnouts based on semi-Hertz contact [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIn order to reduce turnout rail wear, the paper establishes a coupled dynamics model and a turnout rail wear model that consider the true profile of the turnout rail, the vehicle’s continuous traction force while passing, and the operational resistance ...

Economic Theory, 2008 We establish that, except for a finite set of common costs of participation, all equilibria of a class of complete information voting games (as in Palfrey and Rosenthal (1983)) are regular.

Electrical engineering & Electromechanics, 2021 Introduction. The study is devoted to the development of the functionality of a railway track switch by introducing a switched-inductor electric drive. This solution justifies simplifying the mechanical part of the switches by changing the gearbox to a ...

The Global Dataset on Turnout (GD-Turnout)
Electoral Studies, 2023 In this research note, we introduce the Global Dataset on Turnout (GD-Turnout), which includes information on 3217 elections for 190 countries from 1945 to 2020. GD-Turnout is benchmarked to the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA) dataset on elections, the current most popular voter turnout dataset.

Turnout Across Democracies [PDF]
American Journal of Political Science, 2015 World democracies widely differ in legislative, executive, and legal institutions. Different institutional environments induce different mappings from electoral outcomes to the distribution of power. We explore how these mappings affect voters' participation in an election. We show that the effect of such institutional differences on turnout depends on
