Vehicle System Dynamics, 2021
Railway vehicle dynamics is strongly affected by track irregularities, which can influence the safety and the running behaviour of the vehicle. The EN 13848-5:2017 standard provides the limits of track irregularities for standard track but does not ...

The Current Population Survey Voting and Registration Supplement Overstates Minority Turnout
Journal of Politics, 2021The Current Population Survey (CPS) is a key source of information on who votes. Turnout estimates derived from the CPS are often cited in academic research on participation, widely used in the calibration of surveys, and central to ongoing legal and ...

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.

Economic Theory, 2008 The author considers a two-candidate voting game in which the set \(N\) of voters (players) is an electorate split into two disjoint groups \(N = N_1\cup N_2\), where \(N_1=\{1,\dots, n_1\}\) and \(N_2=\{n_1+1,\dots, n_1+n_2\}\) for some naturals \(n_1\) and \(n_2\) with \(n_1+n_2\geq 2\).

Within the past seventy years, citizens have cast some twenty-seven billion votes in national elections across the world. This impressive figure would likely double if votes cast in local elections and referenda were included. Electoral participation is a mass phenomenon. However, what exactly motivates people to vote?

Research on guided wave propagation characteristics in turnout rails with variable cross-section
Journal of Sound and Vibration, 2020Structural health monitoring based on guided waves is a promising technology that can continuously monitor and identify structural damage. Due to the variable cross-sectional characteristics of the turnout straight switch rail along the longitudinal ...

Electoral Studies, 2020
While the explanation of voter turnout is undoubtedly one of the major topics of electoral research, we know relatively little about how to explain the turnout of voters with an immigration background. Two perspectives can be distinguished.

A disproportionate burden: strict voter identification laws and minority turnout
Politics, Groups, and Identities, 2020Critics of the recent proliferation of strict photo identification laws claim these laws impose a disproportionate burden on racial minorities. Yet, empirical studies of the impact of these laws on minority turnout have reached decidedly mixed results ...

Study on the derailment behaviour of a railway wheelset with solid axles in a railway turnout
Vehicle System Dynamics, 2020Dynamic wheel–rail interaction in railway turnouts is more complicated than on ordinary track. In order to evaluate the derailment behaviour of railway wheelsets in railway turnouts, this paper presents a study of dynamic wheel–rail interaction during a ...
