Leaching of Chromium, Copper, and Arsenic from CCA-Treated Utility Poles by Cynthia A. Coles, Joseph A. Arisi, Marion Organ, Geoff I. Veinott

“…The maximum measured soil concentrations of Cu, Cr, and As were 37.5, 65.5, and 38.9 mmol/kg and maximum Cu, Cr, and As concentrations in rainwater run-off were 14, 77.7 and 55.8 μmol/L. Metal concentrations decreased with distance from the poles and, except at one utility pole location, Cu was the most leached of the three elements. …”

Assessing species interactions using integrated predator-prey models by Paquet, Matthieu, Barraquand, Frédéric

“…However, there is no evaluation of such models when interactions are actually absent---while any interaction inference method runs the risk of producing false positives. We investigate here whether multispecies IPMs could output interactions where there are in fact none, building on an existing predator-prey IPM. …”

Development and validation of an automatic all‐wheel steering system for multiple‐articulated rubber‐tire transit by Jianghua Feng, Yunqing Hu, Xiwen Yuan, Ruipeng Huang, Xinrui Zhang, Lei Xiao

“…It can be concluded that the gap between the platform and the train is kept between a relatively 10∼20 cm narrow when the train pulls in and out of the station. When the train runs at a high speed, it is stabilised at 72 km/h, and the lateral deviation from the virtual track centreline is controlled within ±15 cm.…”
