Engineering Failure Analysis, 2021
Wheel flange climbing derailment of vehicles in railway turnouts is a serious safety issue. In particular, derailment accidents in smaller turnouts, caused by poor track alignment before the turnout or structural degradation, are becoming more and more ...

, 2011 This chapter focuses on voter participation, perhaps the most well-known anomaly for rational choice theory. The problem goes like this: in large electorates, the chance that any single voter will be pivotal is very small. Consequently, the cost of voting will outweigh the expected gains from turning out and few citizens will vote.

Disposition of Fluorine on New Firefighter Turnout Gear.
Environmental Science and Technology, 2021Firefighter turnout gear is essential for reducing occupational exposure to hazardous chemicals during training and fire events. Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are observed in firefighter serum, and possible occupational sources include the ...

Rock the Registration: Same Day Registration Increases Turnout of Young Voters
Journal of Politics, 2021Studies find that same day registration (SDR) laws increase turnout, but less is known about which kinds of voters are most affected. Young people are disproportionately burdened by traditional registration laws because they frequently change addresses ...

Simulation of vehicle-turnout coupled dynamics considering the flexibility of wheelsets and turnouts
Vehicle System Dynamics, 2021The turnout causes significant vibrations of the wheel-rail system. In this study, based on the modal superposition method and finite element method, the flexibility of wheelsets and turnouts is considered respectively, and the vehicle-turnout coupled ...

Voters’ turnout is always a crucial aspect in our explanation of election outcomes. A high turnout is often said to give legitimacy to the democratic system. Moreover, turnout usually has distributive effects: parties’ vote shares depend on the levels of turnout registered in a given election. My chapter has the following four aims.
