Full scale measurements of train underbody flows and track forces

Single Track Train Scheduling

In this work we consider the Single Track Train Scheduling Problem. The problem consists in scheduling a set of trains from opposite sides along a single track. The track passes intermediate stations and the trains are only allowed to pass each other at those stations. This problem has a close relation to minimizing the makespan in a job shop scheduling problem with two counter routes and no pr...

On Train Track Splitting Sequences

We present a structure theorem for the subsurface projections of train track splitting sequences. For the proof we introduce induced tracks, efficient position, and wide curves. As a consequence of the structure theorem we prove that train track sliding and splitting sequences give quasi-geodesics in the train track graph; this generalizes a result of Hamenstädt [Invent. Math.].

construction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers

the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...

Aerodynamic forces and flows of the full and partial clap-fling motions in insects

Most of the previous studies on Weis-Fogh clap-fling mechanism have focused on the vortex structures and velocity fields. Detailed pressure distribution results are provided for the first time in this study to reveal the differences between the full and the partial clap-fling motions. The two motions are studied by numerically solving the Navier-Stokes equations in moving overset grids. The Rey...
