ENSURING TRAFFIC SAFETY DURING A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE TECHNICAL CONDITION OF FREIGHT CARS IN OPERATION

Ensuring traffic safety during a comprehensive assessment of the technical condition of freight cars in operation

This article discusses the assessment of traffic safety during a comprehensive assessment of the technical condition of freight cars in operation.Based on the statistical values of the technical condition of the car, obtained as a result of the inspection of the wheelset, the Toner Cartridges main defect leading to the derailment of the cars was id

Topological and hydraulic metrics-based search space reduction for optimal re-sizing of water distribution networks

Pipe re-sizing of water distribution networks (WDNs) aims at improving the service performance to the required level, while minimizing the cost of replacing pipes in the network.The main challenge comes from the identification of the most effective pipes to re-size from a large number of interacting components.Performing a global search over all pi

Spatial genetic structure patterns of phenotype-limited and boundary-limited expanding populations: a simulation study.

Range expansions may create a unique spatial genetic pattern characterized by alternate genetically homogeneous domains and allele frequency clines.Previous attempts to Dill Weed model range expansions have mainly focused on the loss of genetic diversity during expansions.Using individual-based models, we examined spatial genetic patterns under two
