The Application of Mobile Devices for Measuring Accelerations in Rail Vehicles: Methodology and Field Research Outcomes in Tramway Transport by Michał Urbaniak, Jakub Myrcik, Martyna Juda, Jan Mandrysz

“…Lateral (<i>x</i>) and vertical (<i>z</i>) accelerations were recorded at three fixed points inside two tram models (Pesa 128NG Jazz Duo and Düwag N8C), while longitudinal accelerations were deliberately omitted at this stage due to their strong dependence on driver behavior. Raw data were exported as CSV files, processed and analyzed in R version 4.2.2, and then mapped spatially using ArcGIS cartograms. …”

Assessment of the State of Reproduction and the Milk Market in Conditions of Food Self-Sufficiency of the Region by V. V. Vrublevskaya

“…According to the results of the study, the following conclusions can be drawn: milk reproduction in the region has a narrowed type; the region has not reached the level of food independence for milk; the economic accessibility of milk does not reach the established value in the doctrine of food security, which indicates that the population consumes milk less than the rational consumption rate established for medical reasons. A further increase in the level of food security is possible if an expanded type of reproduction process is achieved and maintained, which in modern conditions in the Irkutsk region is achievable with great effort, since the region has been exposed to a disease of cattle (nodular dermatitis) and the infected livestock is eliminated by burning, which will affect production volumes. …”
