Assessment of Uneven Wear of Freight Wagon Brake Pads by Sergii Panchenko, Juraj Gerlici, Alyona Lovska, Vasyl Ravlyuk

“…It has been found that an uneven distribution of the brake pad pressure force leads to higher maintenance costs and lower braking efficiency. The main causes of uneven wear are worn kinetostatic units, differences in the geometric parameters of pads, and imperfections in the lever transmission design. …”

Comparative assessment of airborne infection risk tools in enclosed spaces: Implications for disease control by Amar Aganovic, Giorgio Buonanno, Guangyu Cao, Christian Delmaar, Jarek Kurnitski, Alex Mikszewski, Lidia Morawska, Lucie C. Vermeulen, Pawel Wargocki

“…However, inconsistencies arose in the inclusion of face masks, often due to the lack of detailed efficiency values. Despite some differences, the overall consistency underscores the value of these tools in public health strategy and infectious disease control.We also compared some of the model's efforts to conduct retrospective assessments against reported transmission events by assuming input parameters to the models so that the calculated risk would closely fit the original outbreak infection rate. …”
