Lacking data? No worries! How synthetic images can alleviate image scarcity in wildlife surveys: A case study with muskox (Ovibos moschatus)

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study investigates the integration of synthetic imagery, created with diffusion‐based models, to supplement limited training data and improve muskox (Ovibos moschatus) detection in zero‐shot (ZS) and few‐shot (FS) settings. ZS models detected more than 80% of muskoxen in real images, confirming the potential of synthetic data as a substitute for ...

The Rain Intensity Formula of Xunxian Based on Minute Precipitation Data Interpolation Extension and Its Applicability

Advances in Meteorology
To address the issue of difficulty in calculating the formula for rainstorm intensity due to insufficient data duration, taking Xunxian as an example, 40 years of minute-level precipitation data from six surrounding meteorological stations were utilized.

Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The robustness of bridge structures is critical to ensuring safety and service continuity, particularly in aging infrastructure exposed to degradation and unexpected loads. Reinforced concrete (RC) half‐joint bridges—widely built in Italy between the 1950s and 1970s—exhibit specific vulnerabilities due to inspection challenges, durability ...

Experimental investigation of reinforced concrete members subjected to reversed cyclic axial loading

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents an experimental campaign of five reinforced concrete members subjected to cyclic axial loading alternating between tension and compression. Fiber optical sensors and digital image correlation, in combination with automated crack detection and measurement, were used to investigate, among other aspects, the development of ...

Evaluation of prestress losses in concrete beams using destructive and non‐destructive methods

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past few decades, prestressing techniques have become essential in the construction of key structures, infrastructure, and bridges. The serviceability and safety of prestressed concrete (PC) elements are closely tied to the effectiveness of the prestressing process.

Moment‐curvature behavior of continuous reinforced concrete slab strips—Experimental determination and modeling

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract With the market introduction of new reinforcing materials, such as corrosion‐resistant steel, the effect of their stress–strain relationship on the ductility of reinforced concrete structures needs to be evaluated. Their moment‐curvature behavior significantly influences bending moment redistributions, rotation capacity, and deformation at ...

Numerically efficient mechanical modeling of reinforced concrete membrane elements with fixed, interlocked cracks

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Compression field approaches such as the Cracked Membrane Model with fixed, interlocked cracks (CMM‐F) are efficient tools for the mechanical modeling of reinforced concrete elements, providing the mechanical model σ=fε$$ \boldsymbol{\upsigma} =f\left(\boldsymbol{\upvarepsilon} \right) $$ required for finite element analyses.

Impacts to the mountain‐valley circulation from the 2023 annular solar eclipse

Weather, EarlyView.
In October 2023, as part of the Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project (NEBP), faculty and students from the University of North Dakota (UND) in coordination with Pueblo Community College Southwest collected weather observations during an annular solar eclipse colloquially known as a ‘ring of fire’ eclipse.
