Abstract: The wind deflection of overhead contact lines (OCLs) challenges the stable and safe operation of electrified railways. The steady wind causes the static deflection of the contact line, while ...

Traditionally, classical methods of structural analysis such as slope-deflection and moment distribution methods (Cross method) are used for primary analysis of structures and also controlling the ...

These days, large language models can handle increasingly complex tasks, writing complex code and engaging in sophisticated reasoning. But when it comes to four-digit multiplication, a task taught in ...

Scientists have issued a chilling update on the 'city-killer' asteroid heading towards the moon. Asteroid 2024 YR4, a 220-foot (67m) 'city-killer', currently has a four per cent chance of hitting the ...

Abstract: Extracting ground points from LiDAR point clouds is essential for constructing digital terrain models (DTMs). This article presents a filtering method with strip curve fitting, based on the ...

Your browser does not support the audio element. But then came questions — What’s a token? Should I use cookies or API keys? Why are there so many options just to ...

Many people still see artificial intelligence as something distant, futuristic, or overly technical—something that requires deep knowledge of coding or advanced computing to be useful. However, AI ...

ABSTRACT: The article presents the results of field, office and laboratory research of landslide areas developed on the right slope of the Zhinvali Reservoir section of the Georgian Military Road, ...

Wim Hof is an athlete and motivational speaker who has proposed that cold exposure combined with periods of hyperventilation and breath-holding can improve health and well-being. The method involves ...

Predicting slope stability is important for preventing and mitigating landslide disasters. This paper examines the existing approaches for analyzing slope stability. There are several established ...
