Design and Analysis of Compatible Platform Screen Door Structure by HE Dongshan, PENG Jiantao, RAO Meiwan, ZHAO Jun

“…To better meet the safety, efficiency, and convenience requirements of passenger boarding/alighting in interoperability scenarios, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research on PSD compatibility schemes and structural performance, taking into account the train-type characteristics and load environments of intercity railways, city (suburban) railways, and urban rail transit vehicles. [Method] Taking the cross-line operation of Type-D and CRH6 trains as the research object for the through operation scenario, and based on the characteristics of passenger compartment door positions and parameters for through-operation trains, a side-hinged and telescoping composite compatible PSD typical structure and a full-side compatible PSD layout scheme are proposed. …”

Equation of State Independent Determination on the Radius of a 1.4 M⊙ Neutron Star Using Mass–Radius Measurements by Chun Huang

“…Our results are consistent with X-ray timing, gravitational-wave, and nuclear physics constraints, while avoiding EOS-related biases. The same method has also been applied to a simulated mass–radius data set, based on our knowledge of future X-ray telescopes, demonstrating the model's ability to recover the injected R _1.4 value in certain cases. …”
