Structural distress of cycle paths : The effect of heavy loading and groundwater table in full-scale testing

Att säkerställa tillräcklig bärighet för cykelvägar är nödvändigt för att undvika skador. Då de är tunna och smala konstruktioner är de väldigt känsliga för kantskador från passager av tunga fordon. Två viktiga faktorer som påverkar den här skadetypen är bristen på kantstöd och ett ökat fuktinnehåll i de obundna konstruktionslagren. Tre instrumenterade fullskaliga cykelvägskonstruktioner med olikaAssuring sufficient structural stability of cycle paths is important toavoid distress. Being thin and narrow structures, they are highly susceptibleto edge cracking by passings of heavy vehicles. Two importantfactors that affect distress are lack of lateral support at the edgeand increased moisture content in the unbound granular materials.Three full-scale instrumented cycle path structures with d

Structural design, degradation and condition assessment of cycle paths

En förflyttning av bilresor till cykeltrafik har många fördelar, t.ex.förbättrad folkhälsa genom ökad fysisk aktivitet och minskadeföroreningar och trängsel.

Cycle paths’ degradation processes and surface condition assessment

Att ersätta bilresor med cykelresor har många fördelar, både ur ett individ- och samhällsperspektiv, t.ex. bättre hälsa genom ökad fysisk aktivitet, lägre nivåer av föroreningar och trängsel. Det finns dock vissa potentiella problem med en sådan förändring. Cyklister löper exempelvis högre risk för trafikolyckor per fordonskilometer än bilförare. Denna risk måste minimeras för en optimal övergång A shift in modal share from car driving to cycling has many benefits, bothfrom individual- and societal perspectives, e.g., better health from anincrease in physical activity, lower levels of pollution and congestion.However, there are also some potential problems with such a shift.

Balloon Guide Catheter Use and Outcomes After Endovascular Thrombectomy for Ischemic Stroke Due to Large Vessel Occlusions

BACKGROUND: Balloon-guide catheters (BGC) have been associated with improved procedural and functional outcomes following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in multiple observational studies. Recently the PROTECT-MT trial challenged this benefit, showing worse functional outcomes when using BGCs. This study aims to assess the association between BGC-use and procedural and functional outcomes in a lar

‘To Be Assisted Secretly’ : Catholic Humanitarianism and Romanian Displaced Fascists, 1945–7

This article analyses the Catholic humanitarian assistance provided to non-Catholic fascists after the Second World War. It does so by investigating the assistance provided by Vatican networks to leading Romanian Orthodox fascists displaced in Rome. Drawing from Pius XII's pontificate archives, the article explores an encounter between the rescuers and the rescued inspired by distinct political an

Degradation of Cycle Paths : A Survey in Swedish Municipalities

Samhället behöver utvecklas i en hållbar riktning. Ett sätt att bidra till det är att överflytta motoriserade transporter till hållbara färdmedel, som cykling. För att öka cyklingen spelar infrastrukturen en viktig roll och det behövs cykelvägar av bra kvalitet. Det saknas emellertid kunskap om cykelvägarnas nedbrytning. Den här artikeln ämnar undersöka vilken typ av skador som återfinns på svenskThere is a need to move society in a sustainable direction. One way to contribute to this move is to change to more sustainable transport modes, such as cycling. To increase cycling, the infrastructure is important, and good quality cycle paths are needed. However, little is known about the degradation of cycle paths. This paper aims to investigate what modes of pavement distress are found on muni

In vitro imaging of Raji B cells with fluorescent and biocompatible lipidic cubosomes

The ability to image specific areas of the body is crucial for developing novel, non-invasive medical approaches. Nanocarriers designed for this purpose should have minimal cytotoxicity to accurately reveal internalization mechanism while also allowing for tunable localization within the cells through compositional adjustments. Cubosomes have been widely studied as carriers for imaging agents. How

Political Theologies at the End of the World

This article engages critically with one of the more original and thought-provoking efforts of recent years to respond philosophically to the current predicament of the world: Thomas Lynch’s 2019 study Apocalyptic Political Theology. While agreeing with Lynch that the urgency of our times calls for more radical approaches than cautious dialogue or reformist adaptation, it nonetheless argues that a

Emulating Industrial 5G-Edge Networks

Despite extensive research on Quality-of-Services (QoS) analysis of 5G networks, practical applications remain limited. This gap may be attributed to the lack of available tools and the complexity of developing or configuring technical systems to implement theoretical approaches. To address this, we developed an edge control system within a private 5G base station, utilizing Precision Time Protoco

A novel phosphorescence-based thermometry technique for the measurement of tool temperature distribution in metal cutting

Precise knowledge of the temperature during cutting processes is of high interest as the temperature of a cutting tool dictates the performance, and for the workpiece it controls the quality and integrity of the generated surface. For the first time, in this study, a novel technique has been developed utilizing phosphor thermometry for 2D surface temperature measurement of a cutting tool in metal

Condition assessment of cycle path texture and evenness using a bicycle measurement trailer

Cyklisters åkkomfort, kopplat till cykelvägens textur och jämnhet, har hittills inte undersökts på ett uttömmande vis. Det beror delvis på att det saknas tillståndsbedömningsmetoder som är speciellt utvecklade för cykelvägarnas lägre hastighetsgränser och begränsade utrymme. Det behövs textur- och jämnhetsmått som passar cyklisters, och inte bilisters, upplevda åkkomfort. I den här artikeln presenCyclists’ riding comfort, related to pavement texture and unevenness, has not been thourougly investigated, partly due to the lack of condition assessment methods specifically adapted to the speed and space limits on cycle paths. Metrics that better describe the perceived comfort of cyclists, rather than that of car users, are needed. In this paper a novel method, the Bicycle Measurement Trailer (

Structural Stability of Cycle Paths : Introducing Cycle Path Deflection Bowl Parameters from FWD Measurements

Ett vanligt problem på cykelvägar är kantsprickor, vilka påverkar trafiksäkerheten och framkomligheten för cyklister negativt och bidrar till ökade underhållskostnader. Cykelvägarna är extra känsliga för den här problematiken då de både är tunnare och smalare än bilvägar. Ett par passager av tunga fordon vid ogynnsamma tidpunkter kan räcka för att cykelvägens kant ska knäckas. Bärförmågan hos åttaA recurrent challenge on cycle paths are edge cracks, which affect the traffic safety and accessibility of cyclists and produce high maintenance costs. Being both structurally thinner and narrower structures than roads, the cycle paths are extra prone to this problem. A few passages of heavy vehicles in unfavourable conditions might be enough to break the edge. The load-bearing capacity of eight m

A convolutional neural network-based joint detection and localization spatiotemporal scheme for process control through speckle pattern imaging

This paper presents a novel convolutional neural network (CNN)-based control chart for detecting localized and subtle speckle shifts (displacements) in the images. To enhance detection accuracy, especially in detecting localized and simultaneous shifts, we design a custom CNN architecture and utilize a training methodology. Moreover, instead of inputting the entire images, we divide them into equa

Presence of viable gram-positive bacteria in blood of patients with inflammatory bowel disease is not affected by treatment

In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) the pathogenetic process is characterized by dysbiosis, increased permeability, translocation, and immune activation. The aim of the present study was to assess the presence of viable bacteria in the blood of patients with IBD and to correlate the findings with clinical characteristics. The study included 28 patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) (median age 38 year
