Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 1617-1641, May 2025.ABSTRACT Two novel integrated seismic and energy retrofitting solutions for existing buildings are experimentally assessed in this study. Three 60%‐scaled, two‐storey infilled reinforced concrete buildings underwent a series of bi‐directional shaking table tests.

Effects of agronomical practices on potato growth, nutritional profile, and suitability for frying
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 105, Issue 7, Page 3983-3992, May 2025.Abstract BACKGROUND This study investigated the effect of sulfur nutrition, basalt rock aggregate (BA) application, with a carbon capture function, and speed breeding under light‐emitting diode (LED) light, on the nutritional profile of potatoes and acrylamide formation in crisp production.

X-Ray Spectrometry, Volume 54, Issue 3, Page 224-234, May/June 2025.Abstract A prerequisite for the recycling of mineral wool is information about the type of material, that is, whether it is glass wool or rock wool. As mineral wool produced before the year 2000 can be potentially carcinogenic, it is furthermore important to distinguish between “old” and “new” wool when handling the material.

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 43, Issue 4, Page 341-358, May 2025.ABSTRACT The reactive flow of melt through the mantle or crust triggers chemical disequilibrium, driving reactions that significantly alter the mineral assemblages and physical properties of host rocks. However, the degrees of chemical difference required to initiate these reactions and their timescale remain poorly understood.

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 5, Page 3448-3458, May 2025.ABSTRACT Drought impacts trees in varied temporal and spatial patterns, suggesting that heterogeneity of below‐ground water stores influences the fate of trees under water stress. Karst ecosystems rely on shallow soil overlying bedrock that can store available water in primary pores.

Is Ranked‐Choice Voting Associated With Turnout Across Race/Ethnic Groups?
Social Science Quarterly, Volume 106, Issue 3, May 2025.ABSTRACT Objective Research suggests ranked‐choice voting (RCV) may increase the pool of candidates in local races and create incentives for campaign contacting which could increase voter turnout. Research also documents people of color may have lower levels of engagement with RCV.
