This paper presents an efficient numerical tool for the prediction of railway dynamic response. A behavior calibration of the infinite Euler-Bernoulli beam resting on continuous viscoelastic foundation is proposed. Constitutive laws of the discrete elements are determined for a rectilinear ballasted track. A three-dimensional model coupled with an ...

Glucocorticoid (GC)-induced hyperglycemia is a frequent side effect in hospitalized patients. Guidelines recommend treat-to-target treatment between 6-10 mmol/L (108-180 mg/dL) with insulin, but data on outcome is scarce. We investigated the 30-day outcome in hospitalized patients receiving GCs. All patient records of hospitalized patients between ...

The need for proper fast charging infrastructures is one of the key challenges for the wide adoption of elec- trical vehicles (EV). The high pulsating demand of fast charging stations (FCS) together with high demand tariffs can cause monthly DSO demand charges to account for a significant fraction of a station’s electric bill. Therefore, weakening ...

Bus operators around the world are facing the transformation of their fleets from fossil-fuelled to electric buses. Two technologies prevail: Depot charging and opportunity charging at terminal stops. Total cost of ownership (TCO) is an important metric for the decision between the two technologies; however, most TCO studies for electric bus system...

AbstractIn this work, we applied automatic design generation techniques to obtain the most efficient quantum cascade laser (QCL) structures for the mid-infrared range. For simulations, the transfer matrix, ensemble Monte Carlo and density matrix techniques, accelerated with CUDA computation technology, were utilized. As a result, several designs we...

The resource location optimization (RLO) is a typical combinatorial optimization problem, which has a wide application background. The locations of facilities are optimized in order to minimize the users’ total costs in terms of different considerations. A mathematical model for this kind of problems is established. Both genetic algorithm (GA) and ...

Abstract: As part of the many alternatives for the development of new methods for sustainable energy transformation, the Stirling engine is distinguished due to the characteristics of an external combustion engine, with many advantages. These engines can be activated with heat, representing an additional option for the use of renewable energy. The ...
