one of the most important challenges in the development of urban railways network is the effects of railway vibrations on human and adjacent structures. although various investigations into the sources of railway vibrations have been conducted, very few research works have been reported on the influences of track geometry parameters on the level of vibrations. this is addressed in this research...

Linear induction motor (LIM) subway yard line often have very-small-radius curves and small turnouts with “S”-shaped in the middle. The lateral stability of train is low, wheel-climb (slipway) derailments occur at a speed 10 km/h. To study derailment safety limit linear running through line, coupling dynamic model train-track system established, fully considering driving characteristics motor, ...

Cutaneous melanocytic lesions, commonly known as moles, are mostly benign; however, some of them are malignant melanomas, the most fatal form of skin cancer. Because the survival rate of melanoma is inversely proportional to the thickness of the tumor, early detection is vital to the treatment process. Many dermatologists have advocated the development of computer-aided diagnosis systems for ea...

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...

Davies, Ronnie M., George L. Gerstein, and Stuart N. Baker. Measurement of time-dependent changes in the irregularity of neural spiking. J Neurophysiol 96: 906–918, 2006. First published March 22, 2006; doi:10.1152/jn.01030.2005. Irregularity of firing in spike trains has been associated with coding processes and information transfer or alternatively treated as noise. Previous studies of irregu...

A growing body of work on morphological irregularity has shown that the productivity of irregular morphological processes is sensitive to phonological context. However, these studies have focused almost exclusively on patterns of irregularity found in European languages. In this paper, I discuss a typologically different pattern of irregularity found in Lakhota: person marking appears as a pref...

in this paper, we introduce the notions of product vague graph, balanced product vague graph, irregularity and total irregularity of any irregular vague graphs and some results are presented. also, density and balanced irregular vague graphs are discussed and some of their properties are established. finally we give an application of vague digraphs.

Abstract For studying the influencing factors of wheel set wear on high-speed trains, a large number simulation analyses have found that line conditions, speed, tread profile, adhesion coefficient, contact geometry, and other varying degrees impact wear. However, based difficulty dynamic measurement, it cannot be directly verified. By establishing rigid-flexible model for correlation between pa...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate mandibular irregularity index stability following orthodontic treatment facilitated by alveolar corticotomy and augmentation bone grafting (Cort+). MATERIALS AND METHODS The irregularity index of 121 orthodontically treated and 15 untreated patient study casts was analyzed at 5 years and 10 years. RESULTS Cort+ resulted in significantly lower mandibular irregularity in...

The propagation of shear waves differs between geo-media due to layer’s structure and irregularity present in different layers. This paper studies the propagation of shear waves in a monoclinic layer with irregularity lying between two isotropic semiinfinite elastic medium. The displacement in the monoclinic layer is obtained by using perturbation technique. Then the dispersion relation is foun...
