This article explores Rosanna Raymond’s performative intervention titled “Soli I Tai—Soli Uta” (Tread on the Sea—Tread Land). Today, many cultural institutions try to develop progressive strategies facilitate “intercultural dialogue.” In this endeavor, are explored, some of which developed in collaboration with experts from so-called “source communities.” Such collaborations have longer histori...

The active tectonics of Anatolia is mostly characterized by its westward motion with respect to Eurasia between the Hellenic subduction in west and Arabia-Eurasia continental collision east. Although most deformation suggested be confined along Anatolia?s boundary elements, viz. North East Anatolian shear zones, recent studies indicate a higher magnitude internal strain accumulation, especially...

In the UK, the use of similar vehicle types by a range of privatised operators gives the opportunity to assess the influence of different route conditions and maintenance practices on wheel tread damage, wheelset life and costs. This paper investigates these influences, using data obtained directly from the train operators and maintainers. By disseminating best practice it is expected that whee...

Abstract Tread wear and rolling contact fatigue (RCF) damage propagated on railway wheels are the two extremely important focal points as they can tremendously deteriorate wheel/rail interactions hunting stability destroy wheel surface materials, subsequently, cut down lifetime of wheels. The on-board anti-slip controllers essence aiming to hold back striking slipping powered wheelsets under lo...
