Estimating Takeoff Thrust from Surveillance Track Data

Emissions inventory calculations for airports, using standard emissions inventory reporting methods, are inflated due an assumption of use of maximum takeoff thrust. To enhance the operational life of jet engines and reduce fuel burn, airlines frequently use reduced thrust (i.e. Derated or Flex Temperature thrust) for the takeoff procedure. Without access to internal airline “load sheet” paperw...

Calculating track-based observables for the LHC.

By using observables that only depend on charged particles (tracks), one can efficiently suppress pileup contamination at the LHC. Such measurements are not infrared safe in perturbation theory, so any calculation of track-based observables must account for hadronization effects. We develop a formalism to perform these calculations in QCD, by matching partonic cross sections onto new nonperturb...

Investigation of the Influences of Track Superstructure Parameters on Ballasted Railway Track Design

The main design criteria of ballasted railway tracks include rail deflections, rail bending stresses, rail wheel contact stresses, sleeper bending moments and ballast sleeper contact pressures. Numerous criteria have been defined for the design of ballasted railway tracks owing to the various mechanical properties of track components and their complex interaction. Therefore, railway track desig...
