In order to prevent unpleasant incidents, preservation high-speed railway vehicle stability has vital importance. For this purpose, railway vehicle is modeled using a 38-DOF. This paper presents an investigation on limit cycle and bifurcation of high speed railway behavior. It is revealed that the critical hunting speed decreases by increasing the wheel conicity. Also the critical hunting speed...

Contrary to what was said at the Environment Committee hearing on March 22nd, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) do not recommend hunting to control Lyme disease. If one scours the CDC web pages on Lyme disease, many recommendations are given about how to prevent Lyme disease, but there is no mention of hunting in the CDC web page text, nor any recommendation for hunting 1 . See http://www.c...

multiple people detection and tracking is a challenging task in real-world crowded scenes. in this paper, we have presented an online multiple people tracking-by-detection approach with a single camera. we have detected objects with deformable part models and a visual background extractor. in the tracking phase we have used a combination of support vector machine (svm) person-specific classifie...

TAYLOR, C. R., KNUT SCHMIDT-NIELSEN, RAZI DMI’EL, AND MICHAEL FEDAK. E$ect of hyperthermia on heat balance during running in the African hunting dog. Am. J. Physiol., 220(3): 823-827. 1971 .-The tricolored Cape hunting dog (Lycaon pi&s) is a doglike African carnivore. It hunts in packs and tirelessly runs down its prey. In experiments at 26 C, the running hunting dog had a higher rectal tempera...

in this paper the effects of non-linearity of suspension on dynamic behavior of a railway wheelset has been studied. this wheelset has four degrees of freedom that with two constraints it has reduced to two degrees of freedom. vermeulen-johnson theory has been used to calculate contact forces between wheel and rail. in this study the creep coefficients have considered constant. any linearizatio...

The effect of forestland availability under different ownership types on license sales for hunting in nine Southeastern states is empirically evaluated. An equation that represents license sales for hunting is estimated assuming the sale of hunting licenses in a particular county is related to the characteristics of that county as well as the characteristics and license sales for hunting in its...

Once absent in much of Amazonia, dogs are now commonly used for hunting throughout the lowland Neotropics. Although some ethnographers have questioned their usefulness, dogs are particularly effective in pursuits of several mammalian prey species. The return rates of hunting with dogs appear to compare favorably with those of hunting with firearms, and dogs may be especially beneficial in anthr...

Chimpanzee hunting provides information on prey characteristics and constraints acting on a large-bodied primate lacking a hunting technology, and has important implications for modeling hunting by fossil hominids. Analysis of the remains of five red colobus monkeys captured and consumed by Gombe chimpanzees in a single hunting bout provides one of the first opportunities to investigate the cha...

—We studied the nocturnal hunting behavior of eight radiotagged Eastern Screech-owls (Otus asio; five females and three males) during the period from November 1994 through March 1995. Screech-owls selected low perches when hunting (x = 1.66 m), presumably to obtain a clear view of the ground and an unobstructed flight path to prey. Low perches may also improve the ability of screech-owls to hea...
