Mortars From Punic and Hellenistic–Roman Solunto: Materials, Formulations, and Technology
Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study presents an archaeometric investigation of 18 hydraulic rendering and bedding mortars from Punic and Hellenistic–Roman Solunto (NW Sicily). The research aimed to characterize raw materials, reconstruct manufacturing sequences, and evaluate technological proficiency through mineralogical and petrochemical analyses.

Is Time Travel Possible? Accidental Signs as Sociolinguistic “Wormholes”
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sociolinguistics primarily focuses on deliberately staged public signs, while relatively less attention has been given to ephemeral and non‐deliberate signs in urban environments. This study investigates “ accidental signs,” which are hidden historical texts suddenly exposed by unpredictable events.

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.Modern confined masonry (CM) construction consists of masonry walls confined by reinforced concrete (RC) tie‐columns and tie‐beams. When built correctly, CM buildings have shown good performance in earthquake's shaking. Even though CM construction has been practised for almost a century in some Latin American countries, its use and standardisation are ...

Enhanced Roofs for Passive Building Design: A Systematic Review of Thermal and Energy Performance
Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.This systematic review evaluates PCM‐ and NePCM‐integrated roofing systems for passive cooling. PCM roofs reduce heat flux and indoor temperature fluctuations, while NePCMs improve thermal conductivity with latent heat trade‐offs. Hybrid cooling strategies enhance performance, and future challenges in scalability, durability, and practical ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 13, Page 3302-3318, 25 October 2026.ABSTRACT The seismic capacity of structural systems/members is usually defined in terms of deformation thresholds. Although this is effective in many circumstances, disregarding cumulative quantities such as hysteretic energy may be ineffective when low‐cycle fatigue is relevant (e.g., long‐duration ground motions, very soft soils, ground‐motion ...

High‐strength composites by thiocracking of high‐polypropylene‐content mixed waste
Polymer International, Volume 75, Issue 10, Page 1004-1010, October 2026.Mixed plastic waste made up of polystyrene and polypropylene was reacted with elemental sulfur to give high‐strength composites. Abstract Mixed‐material municipal waste poses a persistent end‐of‐life management challenge because the heterogeneous composition limits efficient separation and recycling. After disposal, mixed‐material waste often fragments
