BACKGROUND As a basis for preventive strategies to reduce subway suicides, an investigation was undertaken to determine if there was a distinct pattern of subway suicidal behaviour. METHODS Data were taken from the Municipal Munich Subway System case registry (southern Germany) for all suicidal incidents on the track: purposely inflicted; date, time and location of incident, sex of victim, ou...

Abstract The subway tunnels built in some coastal cities often cross the soft and hard alternating strata, which makes shield construction more difficult. single mode cannot meet needs of efficient environmental protection, while dual (TBM-EPB) can better adapt to complex geological conditions alternating, effectively improve tunneling efficiency machine, ensure safety timeliness project constr...

The work is devoted to the study of processes displacement and deformation surface during escalator tunnels construction subway by method artificial freezing soils. features technology, rocks characteristics in which made are considered. data specially organized, full-scale surveying observations deformations on earth presented. main factors influencing frozen strata a layered inhomogeneous roc...

Tunnel engineering develops rapidly. To study the dynamic response of shield tunnel structure and its bottom soil layer caused by metro train operation, a three-dimensional finite-difference calculation method is used to establish tunnel-soil coupling model based on project Maluan Central Station-Jimei Island Station Xiamen Metro Line 6, operation calculated. The results show that: Under action...

The exposure level and distribution characteristics of airborne bacteria and fungi were assessed in the workers' activity areas (station office, bedroom, ticket office and driver's seat) and passengers' activity areas (station precinct, inside the passenger carriage, and platform) of the Seoul metropolitan subway. Among investigated areas, the levels of airborne bacteria and fungi in the worker...

BACKGROUND There were several suicide events of subway drivers in Korea. The aim of this study is to explore work-related factors associated with suicide ideation among subway drivers. METHODS We analyzed data from 980 male subway drivers. A section of the Korean version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (K-CIDI 2.1) was administered by trained interviewers to judge whether ...

The number of subway suicides in Vienna increased dramatically between 1984 and mid-1987. In the second-half of 1987 there was a decrease of 75% which has been sustained for 5 yr. This reduction in subway suicides began when a working group of the Austrian Association for Suicide Prevention developed media guidelines and initiated discussions with the media which culminated with an agreement to...

We surveyed 7318 customers from 275 randomly selected restaurants of 11 fast food chains. Participants purchased a mean of 827 calories, with 34% purchasing 1000 calories or more. Unlike other chains, Subway posted calorie information at point of purchase and its patrons more often reported seeing calorie information than patrons of other chains (32% vs 4%; P<.001); Subway patrons who saw calor...

Increasingly, many American fast food restaurants are marketing their food as being healthier, often by introducing new menu items that have less fat, fewer calories, and that fit into a broader range of nondiscretionary categories of the food pyramid. However, no fast food restaurant has focused on the “healthiness” of its products to the extent that Subway Restaurant has over the past near de...

With the rapid progress of modern cities, the railway construction must be developing quickly in China.As a typical high-density country, shopping center on the subway should be one important factor during the process of urban development. The paper discusses the influence of the layout of shopping center on the subway, and put it in the time and space’s axis of Shanghai urban development. We u...
