Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Wing design for blended wing body airplane
Wing design for blended wing body airplane航空宇宙技術研究所 7-9 Jun. 2000 東京 日本 National Aerospace Laboratory 7-9 Jun. 2000 Tokyo Japan 主翼胴体一体型(BWB)航空機は、従来機とは異なり主翼だけの航空機形態となっている。この特異な形態の優位性は、航空機の濡れ面積が小さく、従って理論的にL/D(揚抗比)が大きくなることである。この効果は、特大航空機では顕著に現れるが、BWB形態を利用することにより、中型機の効率を向上できる可能性があるかもしれない。この論文では、乗客200人乗りのBWB航空機の設計における設計方法および設計ツールについて論じた。主翼表面は、高速航空機パラメータ入力設計手法(RAPID)によって生成し、設計目標は ...

Formation of Distance‐Based Orientation: Political Identity through Relational Positioning in Israel
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.Distance‐based orientation describes how pejorative labels may serve as anchor points for political identity. Existing research on political labeling has largely emphasized stigmatization, overlooking how labels may acquire durability and orienting capacity without losing pejorative force. Drawing on publicly circulating discourse, we trace positioning

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines how online tutoring platforms (OTPs) have facilitated new forms of (im)mobility—and discourses of (im)mobility—among online English tutors. Drawing on semi‐structured interviews with online tutors, the article critically interrogates OTPs' primary selling point: that online tutors can work “anytime, anywhere.” While OTPs ...

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Games and gamification projects in the Australian public sector
Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract This article surveys the arrival of gameful government into Australian public sector practice. Gameful government is a shorthand, descriptive term denoting the interpenetration of (video)games, and design elements and thinking from them, into public sector work.

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.Abstract Business schools are often criticized for reproducing growth‐oriented norms, but alternative pedagogies remain difficult to normalize. Drawing on Butler's theory of subversive performativity, this study examines how art‐based pedagogy enables academics to challenge growth logics in business schools by transforming their identities over time ...
