Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper presents an assessment of newly-developed conductive adhesion materials (Products A-E) in comparison to standard rail sand used in Britain. Current rail sand is an insulating material which can affect track circuits; newly-developed conductive materials could reduce the risk of this and allow for more material to be applied to further mitigate against low adhesion. The particles were characterised to determine their densities, and size and shape distributions. Bulk behaviour was assessed through three characteristics: angle of repose, bulk shear strength, and particle breakage index. Materials were then assessed using a high pressure torsion approach to measure their effects on adhesion and electrical resistance in dry, wet, and leaf contaminated conditions. It was found that all products produced better or equivalent conductivity compared to the currently used GB rail sand and that Product D and Product E should be considered for future field testing.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
