Experimental Study on Noise Reduction Performance of Vertical Sound Barrier in Elevated Rail Transit by Lizhong Song, Yisheng Zhang, Quanmin Liu, Yunke Luo, Ran Bi

“…At 25 m from the track centerline, the insertion loss ranges from 1.5 to 2.5, 6.0 to 6.5, 5.5 to 6.0, and 5.0 to 6.0 dB, respectively. The noise reduction capability of the vertical sound barrier initially increases and then decreases with higher speeds, and the rate of reduction slows as speed increases. …”

Polar mesospheric ozone loss initiates downward coupling of solar signal in the Northern Hemisphere by Annika Seppälä, Niilo Kalakoski, Pekka T. Verronen, Daniel R. Marsh, Alexey Yu. Karpechko, Monika E. Szelag

“…The observed and simulated ground-level changes start well before the processes from the main candidate, the so-called EPP-indirect effect, would start. Here we show that initial reduction of polar mesospheric ozone and the resulting change in atmospheric heating rapidly couples to dynamics, transferring the signal downwards, shifting the tropospheric jet polewards. …”

Vibration signal characteristics of debris flow initiation and motion experiments by considering clay content by Zhaodong Li, Zhaodong Li, Zhiyong Huang, Zhiyong Huang, Ping Li, Ping Li, Zhiqi Tian, Enxian Jia, Enxian Jia, Tonglu Li, Tonglu Li

“…Higher clay particle content was associated with a decrease in both the frequency range and mean of the predominant period, as well as a reduction in the Fourier amplitude extremum. These findings provide a foundation for monitoring and predicting debris flows, and the vibration signal characteristics of debris flow initiation and motion can be used to infer the clay content, offering insights into early warning systems for such geological hazards.…”

Discourage one to encourage another? Deleveraging and accounting conservatism by Shangkun Liang, Wen Wen, Nan Lin

“…The impact mainly comes from long-term and bank loan leverage reduction, and from high initial leverage firms. The mechanism tests indicate that a deleveraging policy reduces accounting conservatism by mitigating a firm’s default risk and weakening agency conflict between creditors and shareholders. …”

Effect of Loading Frequency and Temperature on the Fatigue Parameters of Asphalt Concrete by Islam M. R., Wollega E.

“…Results show that fatigue damage is more significant at a lower frequency of cyclic loading and the number of cycles at failure becomes stable at a frequency equal to or lower than 0.01 Hz. The concept of initial stiffness at the 50th cycle of loading is inappropriate at a low frequency of loading as the stiffness reduction with a number of loadings is so considerable at a frequency of loading. …”
