- Irradiation experiments with well-characterized, quasi mono-energetic neutrons of energies between 32.7 MeV and 175.4 MeV were performed at UCL/Louvain-la-Neuve and TSL/Uppsala. The abundances of relatively short-lived residual radionuclides from 13 different target elements were determined by 7-spectrometry. More than 100 excitation functions of neutron-induced reactions were unfolded based on the neutron spectra and the radionuclide abundances with the aid of additional information that was provided by "guess" excitation functions calculated by the TALYS 1.0 code. The results are compared with the sparse existing data from other authors. The new excitation functions were validated by calculation of and comparison with experimental thick-target production rates. Consistency with neutron excitation functions up to 1.6 GeV, which were derived earlier by unfolding the thick-target production rates, was so demonstrated.

- Background: Although orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) may present as a separate clinical entity, it often seems in conjunction with various systemic diseases, of which Crohn's disease (CD) is one of the most common. The aim of this study was to investigate whether CD with concomitant OFG represents a distinctive disease subtype. Methods: Twenty-one patients with CD and concomitant OFG (CD+OFG group) were included in the study. As the reference group, a cohort of 39 patients with CD but without OFG (CD-R group) was used. Demographic data and clinical characteristics were recorded at the time of diagnosis. The 2 groups were compared using multivariate analyses. Results: The percentage of patients with intestinal inflammation in the upper gastrointestinal tract was significantly higher in the CD+OFG group, as compared with the CD-R group (81% versus 33%; P < 0.001). Furthermore, ileocolonic inflammation was significantly more common in the CD+OFG patients (81% versus 46%; P = 0.013). In addition, perianal disease was more frequently observed in the CD+OFG group (48% versus 18%; P = 0.033). Significantly more patients showed evidence of granulomas in the primary endoscopy in the CD+OFG group than in the CD-R group (81% versus 38%; P = 0.003). Conclusion: The data from this study suggest that the presence of CD in conjunction with OFG represents a distinctive subphenotype of CD that is characterized by extensive inflammation, perianal disease, and pronounced granuloma formation in the intestine.

- In the present paper, the effectiveness of a vibration isolation mat for a railway slab track system is studied using a finite element model of the railway track. The finite elements are formulated in a moving frame of reference following the moving load at a particular speed. The rails are modeled using Bernoulli beams, whereas the track slab and an underlying supporting plate are modeled using Kirchhoff plate elements. The vibration isolation mat is modeled as a continuous visco-elastic layer between the track slab and the supporting plate. The response of the underlying soil is represented through a dynamic stiffness matrix, obtained via the Green’s function for a horizontally layered visco-elastic strata in a moving frame of reference in the frequency– wavenumber domain. The model accounts for the quasi-static excitation caused by the static axle loads of a vehicle, as well as the dynamic excitation caused by the vehicle running over an uneven rail. The free-field response and the insertion loss obtained with the vibration isolation mat is first evaluated for a harmonic load moving along the track. Band-averaged vibration levels and the insertion loss for a fixed point next to the track are then calculated for a train cart, represented by a 10 degree-of-freedom multi-body system, running at different speeds.

- To predict ground-borne vibration levels caused by railway traffic, models for estimating the load from the vibration source, as well as the vibration transmission through the ground, are needed. In the present paper, a finite element formulation in a frame of reference following the moving load, is used for modeling a railway slab track. The response of the underlying soil is represented through a dynamic stiffness matrix, obtained via the Green’s function for a horizontally layered visco-elastic half-space in a moving frame of reference in the frequency–wavenumber domain. The track can be modeled as continuously connected beams, but the use of plate elements allows for more general stress and displacement distributions in the transverse direction of the slab to be resolved. Here, the free-field response due to a harmonic load moving along a slab track, is evaluated and compared using different modeling strategies for the slab.
