Abstract:

Variants of reshaping the objects of the industrial heritage, including the buildings of transport infrastructure located in central districts of historical towns are analyzed in the article. The evolution of the development of depots for maintaining and repairing the locomotives is represented. The uniqueness of the complex of buildings of Nikolaevskaya Railway in Moscow, an integrated historical and architectural ensemble, is noted. At the present moment one of few preserved buildings is a circular depot in the center of Moscow. The loss of this unique specimen of industrial architecture of the middle of 19th century would be an irreplaceable loss for the cultural heritage of the nation. The only way of its rescue from full destruction is its restoration and inclusion in the contemporary life of the city. The method of possible variants of the contemporary usage of historical building-monuments of the industrial heritage is proposed, which secures their safety on the basis of self-repayment. The preferable variants for reshaping the building of circular depot in Moscow are considered on the basis of qualitative criteria. Keeping in mind the location of the depot near railway stations - the sources of the main contingent being in need of short-term rent - the variant of placing a hotel-touristic center in the depot was chosen. This corresponds to the basic direction of the State Program of the City of Moscow for the period of 2012-2016, which provides the development of the hotel chain at the expense of the reconstruction and the creation of the touristic infrastructure. The authors considered in the article the variant of usage of the depot as a multifunctional hotel complex gives the possibility to solve the problem of shortage of two-stars hotels in the center of Moscow and, what is very important, to preserve the monument in an undistorted appearance.

Abstract:

HCMC has confirmed its role as an economic locomotive and effective development model for Vietnam and the Southern Key Economic Zone as well. In integrating actively into the world economy, HCMC’s biggest challenge in the coming decade is to secure a sustainable development. Examining sustainability of its economic development is also a challenge to researchers and policy-makers in Vietnam. Based on theories of development economics and data about HCMC economic development in 2011-2015, this research uses statistical description of data to estimate the development process in HCMC. We find that HCMC is yet not to secure a sustainable development but on the road to achieve this goal.

Abstract:

This study quantifies basic dive characteristics and behaviour patterns of undisturbed gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus) observed summering at four northern California locations: the Big Lagoon – Patrick's Point area, Orick, Klamath River mouth, and Crescent City. Observable behaviours were limited to several locomotions (swim slow, swim moderate, swim fast, and floating) seen in different behavioural contexts (milling, circling, pluming, and transit). Sixteen behaviours were observed and they fit naturally into locomotive–context categories (i.e., swim-milling, swim slow – circling, etc.). Each behaviour was described using behavioural observations and dive characteristics. Behaviours that did not appear goal oriented or directed, i.e., milling and floating, had highly variable dive characteristics. More specific behaviours, such as circling and pluming, were less variable. Some specific and less directed behaviours appeared functionally related and usually occurred together. Apparent bottom feeding was observed and the Big Lagoon – Patrick's Point area appeared to be a favoured feeding site, as evidenced by mud plumes and repetitive circling of surfacing animals. Feeding was composed of at least three observable behaviours: circling, circling with pluming, and milling with pluming. Locomotive–context categories are useful in refining broad behavioural definitions and quantifying basic behaviour patterns. This approach can enhance the interpretation of observable surface behaviours.

Abstract:

The article attempts to investigate the historical circumstances of the founding and development of the legendary periodical of the Luhansk Locomotive Plant (1928–2017) – the newspaper „Zhovtnevyi hudok”. It is proved that the magazine emerged as a relevant and necessary means of mass information, internal communication and political propaganda among the staff of the enterprise during its fundamental technological reconstruction in 1928 – 1933. The organizational measures of the newspapers „Zhovtnevyi hudok” and „Luhanska pravda” to increase efficiency work of the staff of the locomotive enterprise by carrying out joint raids on production and coverage of the progress of increasing the production capacity of the locomotive plant, the struggle for the implementation of planned indicators, the implementation of shock obligations, postwar reconstruction, etc. It was found out that the editorial board of the factory magazine, which became resource of professionals for regional journalism in Luhansk region, was awarded the Diploma of the Presidium of the Verkhovna Rada of the USSR, and the newspaper itself was repeatedly recognized as the best production publication in Ukraine and equated to the city district. Despite the fact that during the 1990s and 2000s the volume and circulation of the newspaper were significantly limited and the editorial staff was redundant, the newspaper „Zhovtnevyi hudok”, having withstood numerous economic crises, continued to cover the production activities of the Luhansk diesel locomotive plant, remaining in high demand. layers of workers of the enterprise and professional specialists. Unfortunately, due to the infamous events and the related crisis of the legendary machine-building enterprise, in the 90th year of its existence, the newspaper „Zhovtnevyi hudok” was abolished in 2017.

Abstract:

This article describes the realization of smart city concept in architectural and urban media spaces. Considerable attention is paid to studying the influence of some parameters of the “smart city”, such as adaptability, mobility, intellectualization, sustainability, security and some others. The article also analyses the elements of utopianism and realism in the application of high technologies in urban reality. The connection is studied between utopian models of ideal city and realized strategy of smart urban development, in which the integration of digital technologies leads to the formation of high-hume communicative space that serves as the locomotive of global changes. The study also identifies four theoretical models of media space and classification of urban screens according to compositional-planning implementation methods. As a result of the research, a hypothesis is suggested that there are some key factors and conditions furthering the implementation of the “smart city” concept, as exemplified by the creation of media spaces in urban environment. In addition, a conclusion is made about the prospects of using media technologies in the city on the example of Samara.

Abstract:

Onthe morning of 7July1839, three trains operated by the Habsburg monarchy's first steam railroad company, the Kaiser Ferdinands-Nordbahn, arrived at Brno/Brünn, the largest city in Moravia. As one local newspaper correspondent wrote, throngs of onlookers first “caught sight of the smoking locomotive with its line of carriages in quick flight.” In little time the first of three trains from Vienna pulled into the station. “With speed like the wind,” it had covered the roughly 130 kilometers from the imperial capital to Brno in just four and a half hours. The other two trains arrived shortly thereafter. Some of the train's passengers wandered through the city. Prominent state and local officials hosted several notable visitors, including the railroad company's main financial backer, Salomon Mayer von Rothschild, and his leading engineers.

Abstract:

The discourse of «First capital» is one of the main in the identity of contemporary Kharkivites and its appearance in memory politics is systematic. The short period in city history, when it had official status of capital, left an unproportionally big mark in the collective memory. We would like to study how the capital status was «built» in Kharkiv architecture. Kharkiv, which during the imperial period was a huge regional centre for so-called «Russian South» or «Slobids’ka Ukraine region», was growing rapidly at the beginning of the Soviet era. Its territory was increased in 5,7 times from 1910 till 1930. The city was changed not only in sizes but by its planning structure. The «old» city was criticized for its chaotic structure and architectural styles. Thus new one was imagined as a proletarian utopia with planned quarters and residential complexes. KhTZ was visioned in the crossing of several urban concepts: city garden, desurbanisation and linear city. Industrial objects such as Serp i Molot, KhTZ, Kharkiv Locomotive Factory marked the urban space and created industrial cityscape. Among the main architectural markers of new capital were Derzhprom, Building of Cooperation and Projects and Theater of mass action. The competition for Theater of Mass Action attracted more than 145 architects, among them 100 foreign ones. The image of Kharkiv as capital was avantgarde, utopian, industrial and proletarian one. Contemporary urban palimpsest is cleared most of avant-garde buildings and visitor imagines Kharkiv as the city of Stalin ampir, not the constructivist one. Mentioning «First capital» is not necessary reference to the period of 1920s-1930s, mostly it is about nostalgia for Soviet past at all.

Abstract:

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is the locomotive of economic development of Indonesia. Within the framework of the national economy, SMEs have contributed to the recruitment of labor, the increase of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as well as the increase of export value and national investment. In the vision and mission of Bogor city government, SMEs are expected to become the economic buffer of the city of Bogor in the face of free market competition. Currently there are 13.953 SMEs in the city of Bogor. Sustainability Index based on multi dimensional scaling can be used to measure the performance status of SMEs and formulate specific strategies that need to be done to improve their competitiveness. This research was conducted from dimension setting, attribute determination, attribute review, multidimentional scaling analysis, Monte Carlo and Leverage. The value of Stress and R2 resulted is less than 0.25 and more than 0.80 so that the data has good of fit. The Monte Carlo analysis results for all SMEs have been valid because it has sustainability index ratio with Monte Carlo index less than 5%. The results show that the average sustainability index for SMEs in Bogor city is 49.8, which means that the city of Bogor is in sufficient condition (index value is below 50). The result also shows that ecological and economical factors are the important factors for increasing the performance of SMEs. The simulation results show that changes in related dimensions can increase the average value of the sustainability index to above 60 (good category). Key Words : Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), Sustainability Index, competitiveness, multi dimensional scaling.

Abstract:

The emissions of a GE P-32 passenger locomotive was not adversely impacted by the use of B20 biodiesel blended fuel. Amtrak, with the support of the Federal Railroad Administration operated a P-32 passenger locomotive in revenue service for a period of 12 months, operating on a blend of 20% pure biodiesel and 80% #2 ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel. The P-32 locomotive used in the biodiesel demonstration was a Tier 0 12-cyclinder engine, built in 1991. The locomotive was operated on the Heartland Flyer route, providing passenger train service between Oklahoma City, OK and Fort Worth, TX. The biodiesel test locomotive maintained the Heartland Flyer train schedule 331 times by providing one roundtrip daily between the two cities, for a total of 410 miles. Following the in-service trial, the locomotive underwent emissions testing at the GE Transportation’s locomotive emissions test facility in Erie, PA. The locomotive was tested according to the US Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Title 40 Part 92. The test results show that operating the P-32 passenger locomotive on B20 biodiesel blended fuel for 12 months did not adversely affect the emissions of the locomotive. The paper will outline the procedure and results from the emissions testing of the B20 fuel in a passenger locomotive engine, after having used B20 fuel for 12-months in revenue service. The paper will show that the locomotive B20 emissions for hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx) particulate matter (PM), and smoke opacity were not adversely affected, and were well below the EPA locomotive emissions limit. Due to warranty issues, GE permitted use of B20 for this study however GE does not approve use of B20 under its warranty provisions.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper is a historical review of the design and operation of the Pennsylvania Railroad’s class GG1 electric locomotive over its heavily-trafficked New York City-Washington, DC main line during the period 1934–1983. The locomotive was designed in-house by the railroad in corroboration with Baldwin Locomotive, General Electric and Westinghouse Electric following competitive tests of several electric locomotive designs. Its outstanding performance and long operating life has resulted in it being generally considered the most highly regarded electric locomotive in North America. The Pennsylvania Railroad embarked in the late 1920’s on a major AC electrification program for its New York-Washington and Philadelphia-Harrisburg main lines and local branches. It initially planned to use a fleet of class P5 rigid frame 2-C-2 electric locomotives for service. However problems were quickly encountered with damaging lateral track impacts, axle cracks, truck hunting, and inadequate tractive effort. The railroad responded with a series of competitive evaluation tests of several locomotive designs including a recent New York, New Haven & Hartford (NYNH&H) Railroad articulated frame locomotive, using an ingenious method to measure truck lateral forces. As a result, the railroad developed two prototype electric locomotive designs, a rigid frame class R1 2-D-2 and an articulated frame class GG1 2-C+C-2. Follow-up track testing verified that the GG1 had lower track lateral forces, and was selected for production. The 4,620 hp GG1 combined several significant North American design concepts: - Exceptional power from six double-armature traction motors for heavy passenger train operation at 100 mph; - Double-ended body design to eliminate the need to turn locomotives; - Use of separate truck frames with an articulation joint connection, allowing improved rail tracking and lower lateral forces; - Housing the main transformer and locomotive cabs in the center body, providing increased crew accident protection in collisions; - Use of high voltage Alternating Current (11 kV at 25 Hz); and - One of the first applications of Industrial Design (by Donald R. Dohner and Raymond F. Loewy) producing a streamlined locomotive using a welded carbody. The GG1 was quickly recognized as a rare combination of stellar performance, robust construction, and low maintenance costs. It was used to inaugurate electrified New York-Washington operations, performed admirably during World War II, successfully made the later transition to freight train operation, and was finally retired in October 1983. The prototype GG1 locomotive 4800 has been designated an ASME national engineering landmark.

Full text

Abstract:

The interoperable positive train control (PTC) system uses radio frequency (RF) in the 220 MHz band for wireless communications. Robust and reliable 220 MHz RF communication is critical to the success of the interoperable PTC system. To ensure proper operation of the interoperable PTC system, it is thus crucial to properly engineer and evaluate RF performance of communications from wayside devices and base stations to trains operating along PTC controlled track. This paper presents a design of wireless communications over the 220 MHz band for the interoperable PTC system. Performance of the designed 220 MHz PTC communications is analyzed and theoretical predictions are provided. The paper also presents a simulation system architecture for analyzing the performance of PTC communications over the 220 MHz band. The simulation system test bed integrates a message generator, RF channel simulator, and PTC software-defined radio prototypes configured as a base, locomotive, or wayside radio. Extensive simulations were conducted to determine RF performance of PTC radio communications in various scenarios including flat terrain and city environments. Simulation results are given and compared to the theoretical predictions.
