The Swiss experience on the wear of railway switches & crossings

Willem-Jan Zwanenburg

Using databases of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB CFF FFS), statistical analyses are carried out on the expected lifetime of railway switches (points) & crossings and their respective components. The expected lifetimes are attributed to different paramete ...

Phase 2: A guide for the use of Long-Life Semi-Rigid Pavements

Nicolas Bueche, Mehdi Ould Henia

This Phase 2 Report demostrates that the technology available for long life semi-rigid pavements is not as developed as that for fully-flexible pavement types. Whereas the concept of long-life fully-flexible pavements has been adopted in some European pave ...

Artificial Life X

Dario Floreano

Artificial Life is an interdisciplinary effort to investigate the fundamental properties of living systems through the simulation and synthesis of life-like processes in artificial media. The field brings a powerful set of tools to the study of how high-le ...

C. elegans tubby regulates life span and fat storage by two independent mechanisms

Bart Deplancke

In C. elegans, similar to in mammals, mutations in the tubby homolog, tub-1, promote increased fat deposition. Here, we show that mutation in tub-1 also leads to life span extension dependent on daf-16/FOXO. Interestingly, function of tub-1 in fat storage ...

In-beam mechanical testing of CuCrZr

In the ITER design, CuCrZr has been selected as the heat sink material for components of the first wall and the divertor. The objective of this work is to check the material fatigue performance when the CuCrZr alloy is cyclically deformed concurrently with ...

Redistribution of silencing proteins from telomeres to the nucleolus is associated with extension of life span in S. cerevisiae

Thierry Laroche

A prior genetic study indicated that activity of Sir silencing proteins at a hypothetical AGE locus is essential for long life span. In this model, the SIR4-42 mutation would direct the Sir protein complex to the AGE locus, giving rise to a long life span. ...
