We report the detection of type-b quasi-periodic oscillation(QPO)of the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1728.9-3613 observed by NICER during the 2019 outburst.A type-b QPO was observed for the first two days and it disappeared as flux increased,but again appeared at∼7.70 Hz when flux was dramatically *** source was found in the soft intermediate state during these *** further studied the energy dependence of the *** found that QPO was observed only for a higher energy range implying that the origin of QPO is possibly due to the corona emitting higher energy photons by the inverse Compton *** variation of spectral parameters can be explained with the disk truncation *** fractional rms was found to be monotonically increased with *** phase lag spectrum followed the“U-shaped”*** rms and phase lag spectrum are modeled and explained with the single-component Comptonization model vkompthdk.

Pavement infrastructure is vital in providing services and links between various sectors of society. therefore, thepreservation and maintenance of these roads are critical to attaining a pavement network in good conditionthroughout its service life. Various performance indicators like the international roughness index (IRI), pavementcondition index (PCI), and present serviceability rating (PSR) have been used by the state department of transportation (DOt) and highway agencies for evaluating pavement surface conditions and planning future maintenance strategies. Limited data availability, multiple distresses depending on region, lack of correlation of thesecondition indices to maintenance strategies, and data collection limitations pose a challenge for applying theseindices to local conditions. this paper compares condition indices of different states for rigid pavements. Further,using a specific condition index for local conditions is also highlighted. For this purpose, five states and theircorresponding condition indices were evaluated and compared to the Michigan DOt distress index (DI). thesestates include Virginia, Minnesota, North Dakota, Louisiana, and Oregon. the corresponding distresses of eachcondition index were converted to make them compatible with the MDOt DI. this study used the MDOt'spavement management system (PMS) database to evaluate each condition index for 433 rigid pavement *** distress index was plotted against MDOt DI and compared using a paired t-test. Results show that thecondition indices of Virginia and Minnesota are comparable to DI in terms of the Spearman correlation value. thet-test results show that except for Virgina, condition indices from other states statistically differ from ***, one can't use those directly for local conditions in Michigan. this paper presents the evaluation anddata requirements for each condition index and its impact on selecting a maintenance treatment.
