ERNST & SOHN2021Mask to identify polluted periods during the Arctic Ocean 2018 expedition
Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini
Aerosol and trace gas measurements are strongly affected by the ship exhaust and other human activities (e.g., helicopter flights). Therefore, it is important to discriminate between clean and polluted periods. This mask provides an indication of clean per ...
2020Time calibration for the SciFi Tracker at SND@LHC using DESY testbeam data
A Scintillating Fibre Tracker with timing information was developed by LPHE at EPFL. To evaluate its timing and tracking performance, a test beam campaign was organized at DESY in October 2019. By using this data, the different time delays and offsets that ...
2020Integrated maintenance model for heavy haul tracks
José João Pires De Oliveira Filho
Due to the accumulation of traffic, the railway components are affected by the induced stresses. As a result, the geometry of the railways is degraded over time. The degradation occurs either through the partial loss of the track's geometry or through the ...
EPFL2016Analysis of Ballast Transport in the Event of Overflowing of the Drainage System on High Speed Lines
Giovanni De Cesare, Tamara Ghilardi, Mona Jafarnejad Chaghooshi, Elena Battisacco
The transport of ballast caused by the overflowing of longitudinal drains is a prime example of the interactions between the railway track and its environment. In such conditions, water flowing from the platform, along with debris, may drag the ballast off ...
