Achieving Functionality Targets for Seismically Isolated Steel Buildings Using Gaussian Process Modeling

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
As seismic design paradigms shift toward functional recovery, there is a need for efficient methods to achieve desired decision variables (DVs), such as probability of replacement, repair cost, and downtime of the building, for seismically isolated buildings.

Diurnal Air–Surface Temperature Dynamics in Hong Kong: An Analysis Across Land Use and Climate Zones

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 6, May 2026.
Daytime and nighttime air temperature (T a) from automatic weather stations and land surface temperature (T s) derived from ASTER and Landsat 8–9 are used to examine the relationship between T a and T s. The spatial and statistical characteristics of T a − T s dynamics are further analysed across land use (LU) and local climate zones (LCZ).

Effect distances of road traffic noise on wildlife behaviour: A soundscape mapping approach using bird habitat selection

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1141-1154, May 2026.
Abstract Road traffic noise is a pervasive environmental pollutant that negatively affects wildlife globally. Despite growing research, quantifying the spatial extent of noise impacts remains underdeveloped. Soundscape mapping from social sciences and engineering literature offers a useful yet rarely implemented tool to depict noise impact distances ...

Persistence and potential of soil organic carbon in nature‐based climate solutions: A review of managed disturbances

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 811-830, May 2026.
Implementing nature‐based climate solutions is important for mitigating climate change, which is a global issue, but requires local adjustments in management practices. Using the association between soil carbon and minerals as a proxy for carbon persistence, we evaluated the effect of different management regimes on soil carbon sequestration and loss ...

Autoparallels and the Inverse Problem of the Calculus of Variations

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT We prove that autoparallel curves associated with a torsion‐free but not necessarily metric‐compatible affine connection can be derived from an action principle. We explicitly construct the action functional and show by standard variational techniques that it produces the desired equations.

Phenology of migrating game birds in Italy based on citizen science data

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.
Studying the timing of the seasonal movements of migratory birds, known as migration phenology, is crucial for managing and conserving migratory bird populations. This is particularly important for migratory game bird populations in Europe because, according to the EU, migratory birds should not be hunted during their breeding season or during return ...
