An Innovative Regulatory Approach to Stimulate Competition in Long-Distance Passenger Rail Transport by Alexander Eisenkopf, Andreas Knorr

“…This figure stands in stark contrast to the competitors’ market shares of some 26% for short-distance (regional) services — where a competition for the market regime has been established — and around 50% of the rail cargo segment — which is governed by an open access regime. In this paper, we make the case for an alternative regulatory regime to substantially increase effective intramodal competition in the intercity rail passenger market. …”

Pole Allocation Applied to Two Buildings Connected by Joint Damper by Yoshiki Ikeda, Yuki Matsumoto

“…The structural system is simplified as a two-degrees-of-freedom (2-DOF) lumped-mass damped shear model. The unified governing equation, which expresses the relationship between an assigned control target and the structural parameters for an earthquake-resistant building, seismically isolated building, or passively controlled building, is extended to structural control using a joint damper. …”
