This work is focused on the possible ways of improving the running safety of a railway vehicle, which uses IRWs (independently rotating wheels) in a bogie.It discusses the main positive and negative properties of an application of IRWs for a railway vehicle while it is running in a curve.There are evaluated running properties of a railway vehicle i
Actions can be physically executed, observed, imagined, or simply thought about.Unifying mental processes, such as simulation, emulation, or predictive processing, are thought to underlie different action types, whether they are mental states, as in the case of motor imagery and action observation, or involve physical execution.While overlapping br
The European Union (EU) imposed sanctions on Zimbabwe in 2002 and this article aims at evaluating the success of that decision.Applying a broader definition of success, this article assumes that sanctions can coerce, constrain and signal.Contrary to most of the literature holding that sanctions are imposed to change the behaviour of targets, this a
Plants adapt seed traits in response to different environmental triggers, supporting the survival of the next generation.To elucidate the mechanistic understanding of such adaptations it is important to characterize the distributions of seed traits by phenotyping seeds on an individual scale and to correlate these traits with corresponding plant pr
