Influence of the Testing Procedure on the Value of the Impact Attenuation of Rail Fastening Systems: an Experimental Study
Railway superstructure components are subject to impact forces caused by irregularities in the rail and wheel or variations in the support stiffness. These imperfections lead to the premature and accelerated d...

Effect of fullerenes C60and C70 on the absorption spectrum of 2-cyclooctylamino-5-nitropyridine
The influence of fullerenes C60 and C70 on the absorption spectrum of 2-cyclooctylamino-5-nitropyridine (COANP) is studied. A substantial shift of the absorption band edge of COANP-C70 to the IR region was observ...

Universality of the Spin-Glass Transition in the Cd1−xMnXTe System
Universality of the spin-glass (SG) transition in bulk Cd1−xMnxTe was investigated by determining the scaling behavior of the spin-glass order parameter q as a function of the reduced temperature t = (Tg-T)/Tg, w...
