Investigation on heat transfer mechanism simulation and structure optimization design of hydraulic turbine bearing semi-ring cooler by Yongfei Wang, Yinhui Cai, Jian Zhang, Zhenyu Chen, Chenhao Li, Weipeng Sun

“…Bearing is an important support to carry radial force and axial force, when hydro generator set is running, a large amount of heat produced by the rotor shaft and bearing touching will yield oil mist and jeopardize equipment health. The cooler can take away the heat in time, therefore, improving the cooler's efficiency is of great significance. …”

Exploring Factors Affecting the Yellow-Light Running Behavior of Electric Bike Riders at Urban Intersections in China by Jing Cai, Jianyou Zhao, Jing Liu, Ke Shen, Xun Li, Yuntao Ye

“…The modeling results showed that seven variables significantly affect the e-bike riders’ yellow-light running behavior, which were the approaching speed of e-bike, the distance to stop line, riders’ age and gender attributes, type of e-bike, and the characteristics of intersection including the width of intersection and the existence of physical barriers. This study can provide valuable insights into understanding e-bike riders’ yellow-light running behavior and may also help decision makers propose countermeasures to reduce e-bike rider-related crashes at intersection.…”
