Use of Hybrid Flame Retardants in Chemically Foamed rPET Blends by Veronika Anna Szabó, Sándor Kálmán Jakab, András Kovács, Tamara Zsuzsanna Böcz, Gábor Dogossy

“…In our research, we were able to improve the flame retardancy of the endothermic–exothermic hybrid rPET foam by adding a different mixture of flame retardants to the formula. Three different kinds of halogen-free flame retardant agents were used: ammonium polyphosphate-based Exolit AP 422 (AP), organic aluminum phosphate in the form of Exolit OP 1240 (OP), and Budit 342 containing melamine polyphosphate (MPP). …”

Acceleration Frequency Characteristics of the Freight-Train-Induced Vibration of the Beijing-Harbin Railway Subgrade by Yingying Zhao, Xianzhang Ling, Ziyu Wang, Weiming Gong, Guoyu Li

“…The results show the following. (1) The vibration acceleration frequency of the railway subgrade was divided into three main bands: the first frequency band is caused by the vehicle wheelbase, the second frequency band is caused by the sleeper spacing, and the third frequency band is mainly affected by the track irregularity spectrum and site structure. (2) The fitted dominant frequency, as can be seen from the monitored results, is in good agreement with the calculated value from the vibration frequency calculation formulas. (3) From the monitoring, it can be seen that train type, traveling speed, and train formation have a significant influence on the dominant frequencies of the first and second bands. …”

Problematic Issues of Calculating the Size of Damage from the Use of Land Plots for Other Purposes within the Practice of Law Enforcement Agencies by I. V. Bryhadyr, I. V. Panova

“…It has been offered to include a coefficient that takes into account the term of land use for other purposes in the direction of increasing the multiple of the number of years of land use into the formulas № 3 and № 4 of the Methodology. The authors have proved the necessity of introducing a separate formula for calculating the amount of damage caused by the use of land plot for other purposes, in case of impossibility to return the land plot to a condition suitable for further use for its intended purpose, or failure to accomplish such a return for other reasons. …”
