The potential for suppressing rail defect growth through tailoring rail thermo-mechanical properties by I., David, N., Fletcher, H. Sanusi, Shahmir

“…Thermal damage of rails can occur through brake lock-up, or traction control system failure to prevent wheel spin. In most cases the damage produced is shallow and takes the form of a “white etching layer”, usually thought to have a martensitic structure, formed as the steel is heated above its eutectoid tem-perature and then rapidly cooled as the wheel moves away. …”

The synthesis and pharmacology of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor mimetics by McDonald, Jane Anne Margaret

“…These studies revealed that the class of GABA agonist, in which the amino groups are incorporated into six-membered rings exhibit an unexpected variety of activities with respect to their ability to inhibit 3H-GABA binding; their affinity for GABA uptake sites and their interaction with the coupled GABA/benzodiazepine sites.…”

Single-atom entropy squeezing for two two-level atoms interacting with a single-mode radiation field by El-Orany, Faisal A.A, Wahiddin, Mohamed Ridza, Obada, Abdel-Shafi F.

“…Also we comment on the relationship between spin squeezing and linear entropy. We show that the amounts of the nonclassical effects exhibited in the entropy squeezing for the present system are less than those produced by the standard Jaynes–Cummings model. …”
