Advanced Rail Geotechnology – Ballasted Track

Advanced Rail Geotechnology – Ballasted Track

Ballast plays a vital role in transmitting and distributing the train wheel loads to the underlying track substructure. The load-bearing capacity safe train speed and the levels of noise and vibration as well as passenger comfort depend on the behaviour of ballast through particle interlocking and the corresponding deformation of this granular assembly. Attrition and breakage of ballast occur progressively under heavy and continual cyclic loading causing track deterioration and rail misalignment affecting safety while exacerbating the intensity of track maintenance. In the absence of realistic computational models the track substructure is traditionally designed using mostly empirical approaches. In this book the authors present the detailed information on the strength deformation and degradation aspects of fresh and recycled ballast under monotonic cyclic and impact loading using innovative geotechnical testing devices. A constitutive model for ballast incorporating particle breakage is presented representing a more realistic stress–strain response. The mathematical formulations and numerical models are validated using controlled experimental simulations and fully instrumented field trials. Revised ballast gradation is described to provide greater track resiliency and extended longevity. The book also provides a detailed description of geosynthetics for substructure improvement considering track deterioration caused by particle degradation fouling and impeded drainage. New to this second edition are extensive discussions on subgrade soil stabilisation causes and mechanisms of soil fluidisation (mud pumping) under cyclic loading and preventive and remedial measures to alleviate undue instability of ballast tracks. This book should prove most beneficial for final-year civil engineering students and for postgraduate teaching and learning. It is an ideal supplement for practising railway engineers and researchers engaged in the challenging tasks of future track design for heavier and faster trains. | Advanced Rail Geotechnology – Ballasted Track

Tire Tread and Tire Track Evidence Recovery and Forensic Examination

Tire Tread and Tire Track Evidence Recovery and Forensic Examination

Police success in linking vehicles to the scene of a crime through the impressions and tracks those vehicles leave behind has long served as a successful and reliable forensic tool. The collection and forensic evaluation of that evidence however requires specialized knowledge training and expertise. Drawing from the author’s 34 years of experience first as an FBI examiner and currently as a private consultant in the area of tire evidence Tire and Tire Track Evidence: Recovery and Forensic Examination is the most comprehensive and up-to-date volume available on the subject. Covering all aspects of the field the book begins with general information on the modern pneumatic tire and basic terminology. For both the crime scene technician and the forensic examiner the author addresses information on both how to recover tire track evidence and how to photograph and cast the individual tread detail from those impressions. The book explains and illustrates the necessary information on obtaining known exemplars; tire manufacturing and retreading tires. It explains important aspects of tires including their tread design and dimension noise treatment general wear and individual acquired characteristics. The author instructs on applying that knowledge while conducting a structured examination procedure resulting in the final evaluation of evidence and report writing as well as the presentation of tire evidence in court. He provides information on databases and resources along with case examples including the Oklahoma City bombing. Informative and useful this book gives crime scene technicians and forensic examiners the tools to accurately and reliably collect recover and examine tire evidence. | Tire Tread and Tire Track Evidence Recovery and Forensic Examination

Handbook on Session Initiation Protocol Networked Multimedia Communications for IP Telephony

Handbook on Session Initiation Protocol Networked Multimedia Communications for IP Telephony

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has emulated the simplicity of the protocol architecture of hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and is being popularized for VoIP over the Internet because of the ease with which it can be meshed with web services. However it is difficult to know exactly how many requests for comments (RFCs) have been published over the last two decades in regards to SIP or how those RFCs are interrelated. Handbook on Session Initiation Protocol: Networked Multimedia Communications for IP Telephony solves that problem. It is the first book to put together all SIP-related RFCs with their mandatory and optional texts in a chronological and systematic way so that it can be used as a single super-SIP RFC with an almost one-to-one integrity from beginning to end allowing you to see the big picture of SIP for the basic SIP functionalities. It is a book that network designers software developers product manufacturers implementers interoperability testers professionals professors and researchers will find to be very useful. The text of each RFC from the IETF has been reviewed by all members of a given working group made up of world-renowned experts and a rough consensus made on which parts of the drafts need to be mandatory and optional including whether an RFC needs to be Standards Track Informational or Experimental. Texts ABNF syntaxes figures tables and references are included in their original form. All RFCs along with their authors are provided as references. The book is organized into twenty chapters based on the major functionalities features and capabilities of SIP. | Handbook on Session Initiation Protocol Networked Multimedia Communications for IP Telephony

Feynman Lectures on Computation Anniversary Edition

Feynman Lectures on Computation Anniversary Edition

The last lecture course that Nobel Prize winner Richard P. Feynman gave to students at Caltech from 1983 to 1986 was not on physics but on computer science. The first edition of the Feynman Lectures on Computation published in 1996 provided an overview of standard and not-so-standard topics in computer science given in Feynman’s inimitable style. Although now over 20 years old most of the material is still relevant and interesting and Feynman’s unique philosophy of learning and discovery shines through. For this new edition Tony Hey has updated the lectures with an invited chapter from Professor John Preskill on “Quantum Computing 40 Years Later”. This contribution captures the progress made toward building a quantum computer since Feynman’s original suggestions in 1981. The last 25 years have also seen the “Moore’s law” roadmap for the IT industry coming to an end. To reflect this transition John Shalf Senior Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has contributed a chapter on “The Future of Computing beyond Moore’s Law”. The final update for this edition is an attempt to capture Feynman’s interest in artificial intelligence and artificial neural networks. Eric Mjolsness now a Professor of Computer Science at the University of California Irvine was a Teaching Assistant for Feynman’s original lecture course and his research interests are now the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning for multi-scale science. He has contributed a chapter called “Feynman on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning” that captures the early discussions with Feynman and also looks toward future developments. This exciting and important work provides key reading for students and scholars in the fields of computer science and computational physics. | Feynman Lectures on Computation Anniversary Edition

CRC Desk Reference on Sports Nutrition

CRC Desk Reference on Sports Nutrition

The landscape of sports nutrition is dramatically altering as those in search of optimal performance are moving the field from haphazard alchemy to exact science. Currently thousands of products - from ancient herbs and old standards to hormone extractions and test tube concoctions -compete for a place at the training table of both professional and amateur competitors as well as those non-athletes seeking some potent elixir of youth. Unfortunately getting straight and genuinely relevant information on these products can be a time consuming and frustrating challenge. The CRC Desk Reference on Sports Nutrition following in the tradition of authoritative CRC references will place in your hands the most comprehensive desk reference available on sports nutrition products. Intelligently organized each entry depending upon its prominence and importance is followed either by a definition paragraph essay composition article or feature article. Many of the more complex entries are supported with figures or tables. While the authors have adhered to the principles of scientific discipline they have also taken the effort to make the text highly accessible to anyone with an interest in sports nutrition. Extremely relevant the listings include important issues regarding exercise metabolism and performance recent products both legal and illegal as well as common dietary supplements and traditional herbs. Recent events make it clear that it is becoming more and more challenging for practitioners to adhere to the Hippocratic caveat of do no harm as supplements become more potent and potentially more dangerous. With its desk reference on sports nutrition CRC has taken the lead in helping to meet that challenge.
