Song, Yang (author), Wang, H. (author), Frøseth, Gunnstein (author), Nåvik, Petter (author), Liu, Zhigang (author), Rønnquist, Anders (author)The interaction performance of the pantograph-catenary is of great importance as it directly determines the current collection quality and operational safety of trains. The finite element method (FEM) is dominantly used for simulating pantograph-catenary interaction, which is normally computationally heavy. In this work, addressing the...journal article 2023

Zhang, Y. (author), Zhang, Shizhe (author), Liu, C. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)In this paper, the authors characterized two types of zonation within slag rims in aged alkali-activated slag (AAS) systems through SEM and TEM technology. These two elemental zonation were closely related to the pore structure of AAS pastes, thus providing strong implication for the transport- and durability-related performance of AAS...journal article 2023

(author)Chromatin replication involves the assembly and activity of the replisome within the nucleosomal landscape. At the core of the replisome is the Mcm2-7 complex (MCM), which is loaded onto DNA after binding to the Origin Recognition Complex (ORC). In yeast, ORC is a dynamic protein that diffuses rapidly along DNA, unless halted by origin...journal article 2023

(author)Wave breaking is the main mechanism that dissipates energy from ocean waves by wind. Its effects on the frequency spectrum cause a downshift of the spectral peak and dissipation of the total energy of the spectrum. Various reduced-form wave breaking models have been developed to capture wave breaking in envelope-based wave evolution equations...journal article 2023
