Rolling noise from railways is significantly affected by the wheel–rail combined roughness and the dynamic properties of the track. To facilitate vibration and noise predictions it is desirable to be able to determine these parameters accurately from field measurements. In this study an inverse method to determine these parameters is adopted and enhanced. Use is made of a track model based on a...

Four nearly identical versions of an ancient printed book, the Song Enlightenment with Commentaries by Buddhist Monk Nammyeong Cheon (?????????), were examined image analysis and comparisons to identify whether they are or different in terms printing techniques.

Retrieved can also used population studies analysis functional diversity. To gain better understanding the evolutionary patterns across this large, diverse fascinating genus through phylogenetics, genetics seq...
