Measurement and Numerical Simulation of Ground and Subgrade Vibrations of Beijing Urban Rail Line 13 by Futong Wang, Leilei Yan, Qi Jiang, Xiaxin Tao

“…Compared with elevated and tunnel sections, ground surface urban railway generates vibrations and propagates to the surroundings via a more direct path in the form of surface waves, which makes the environmental problem more prominent. Due to the complexity of the train-track-ground system, the characteristics of the vibration propagation and attenuation are yet to be revealed. …”

Correcting Projection Effects in CMEs Using GCS‐Based Large Statistics of Multi‐Viewpoint Observations by Harshita Gandhi, Ritesh Patel, Vaibhav Pant, Satabdwa Majumdar, Sanchita Pal, Dipankar Banerjee, Huw Morgan

“…The distinctive behavior of AP CMEs is attributed to factors like overlying magnetic field distribution or geometric complexities leading to less accurate GCS fits. A linear fit of projected speed to width gives a gradient of ∼2 km s−1 deg−1, which increases to 5 km s−1 deg−1 when the GCS‐fitted ‘true’ parameters are used. …”
