Engineering solutions to improve conditions and smoothness of train traffic on turnout switches

open access: yesВестник Научно-исследовательского института железнодорожного транспорта
Introduction. The currently used turnout switches geometries provided for the development and serial production of the main types of turnout equipment that ensure the transport process on the Russian railways.

Does E-Voting matter for turnout, and to whom?

open access: yes, 2020
Empirical evidence suggests that e-voting has no measurable effects on turnout. However, existing studies did (or could) not look at e-voting effects on the individual level.

Voting in a Pandemic: COVID-19 and Primary Turnout in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

open access: yesUrban Affairs Review, 2020
We report the first study of the effect of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) on polling place consolidation and voting behavior. We draw upon individual-level observations from Milwaukee matched to similar observations in the surrounding ...

Compelled Turnout and Democratic Turnout: Why They Are Different

open access: yesPolitical Studies, 2023
One strategy in defence of compulsory voting is based on what I call the non-instrumental value of high turnout: the idea that almost-universal participation in elections is valuable per se. This article argues that we do not have democratic reasons to value compelled turnout.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Tremors but no Youthquake: Measuring changes in the age and turnout gradients at the 2015 and 2017 British general elections

open access: yesElectoral Studies, 2020
In the aftermath of the 2017 UK General Election, some claimed that Labour performed unexpectedly well because of a surge in youth turnout. Polling estimates for the size of this ‘youthquake’ ranged from 12 to 21 points amongst 18–24 year olds.

Turnout Fault Diagnosis through Dynamic Time Warping and Signal Normalization

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Transportation, 2017
Turnout is one key fundamental infrastructure in the railway signal system, which has great influence on the safety of railway systems. Currently, turnout fault diagnoses are conducted manually in China; engineers are obliged to observe the signals and ...

Features of mathematical modeling of dynamic processes of car passing railroad turnouts

open access: yesВестник Научно-исследовательского института железнодорожного транспорта, 2020
Dimensions and tolerances in the “wheelset — railway track” system are interconnected, since the normative values of geometric parameters and shape of the elements of the wheelsets and the track's upper structure are directly de pendent. In 2018– 2019 in

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Analysing the significance of small conformational changes and low occupancy states in serial crystallographic data

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This protocol paper outlines methods to establish the success of a time‐resolved serial crystallographic experiment, by means of statistical analysis of timepoint data in reciprocal space and models in real space. We show how to amplify the signal from excited states to visualise structural changes in successful experiments.
