Measurement of the penetration depth λ(T) as a function of temperature using millimeter wave transmission in the range 130-500GHz are reported for three YBa<Subscript>2</Subscript> (YBCO) laser ablated thin films. Two films, deposited on a LaAlO<Subscript>3</Subscript> substrate (T <Subscript> c </Subscript>=90.2 K), exhibit a narrow resistive transition (0.3...</subscript></subscript></subscript>

The paper examines the linkages between transport and the economy with particular focus on the basis for additionality of wider economic benefits from road transport infrastructure improvements. A major weakness of current appraisal practice of road transport infrastructure projects is its basis...

From its origin with the Tokaido Shinkansen in 1964, High Speed Rail (HSR), defined here as new rail lines capable of operating speeds of 250 kilometres per hour or more, has grown relatively slowly over the last 50 years, with the World HSR network as of late 2013 standing at under 22 000 km....

A major concern of business with respect to transport-charging interventions is the context of revenue-investment policy, particularly how the timing of improvements may alter the time lags between fewer car journeys and more public transport journeys, and the problems for business in the...

The aim of this paper is to review the emerging evidence on competition in the long distance passenger rail service. This draws on the three bodies of evidence. In section 2, we examine the ex-ante evidence from theoretical models based on Preston (2008a). In section 3, we examine the ex-post...
