Multi-field coupling modeling and temperature rise analysis for the static pantograph-catenary electrical contact of metro trains by BI Yonglei, WU Aizhong, WENG Lin

“…Since the catenary still needs to supply current for the trains stopping at stations or stopping temporarily on the track for some reasons, the pantograph-catenary contact part in a stationary state may suffer from overheat, which may lead to a thermal damage of the contact strip and even cause a catenary breakage accident. …”

Characterıstıcs of Electrıcal Current Relaxatıon in Monocrystal TlInSe2 by R.S. Madatov, A.I. Najafov, M.A. Mammadov, A.S. Alekperov, Z.I. Asadova, F.G. Asadov, R.E. Huseynov

“…It was found that at low, constant voltages (where the electric field intensity E < 25 V/m), relaxation processes occur within the TlInSe2 compound, leading to a decrease in current due to charge accumulation. At higher voltages (where E > 25 V/m), an increase in current was observed. …”

Launch dynamics modeling and simulation of box-type multiple launch rocket system considering plane clearance contact by Jinxin Tang, Guoping Wang, Genyang Wu, Yutian Sun, Lilin Gu, Xiaoting Rui

“…As the performance of the box-type multiple launch rocket system (BMLRS) improves, its mechanical structures, particularly the plane clearance design between the slider on the rocket and the guide inside the launch canister, have grown increasingly complex. However, deficiencies still exist in the current launch modeling theory for BMLRS. …”

Cerebellar Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Effects on Saccade Adaptation by Eric Avila, Jos N. van der Geest, Sandra Kengne Kamga, M. Claire Verhage, Opher Donchin, Maarten A. Frens

“…Subjects performed an inward (n=10) or outward (n=10) saccade adaptation experiment (25% intrasaccadic target step) while receiving 1.5 mA of anodal cerebellar tDCS delivered by a small contact electrode. Compared to sham stimulation, tDCS increased learning of saccadic inward adaptation but did not affect learning of outward adaptation. …”
