Bridge-specific fragility analysis: when is it really necessary? [PDF]

, 2018
In seismic assessment of bridges the research focus has recently shifted on the derivation of bridge-specific fragility curves that account for the effect of different geometry, structural system, component and soil properties, on the seismic behaviour ...

Dynamic Wave Trains: A Procedural Approach to Spatially Varying Ocean Synthesis

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
In this paper, we present a high performance procedural model capable of synthesizing and rendering a virtually infinite ocean. Our method exhibits spatial variations as the orientations, speed and choppiness of the waves is parametrized for each frequencies and each point in space. The provided visual abstract exhibits a sunset rendering of a large 40

Quantification of the Effect of Bridge Pier Encasement on Headwater Elevation Using HEC-RAS

Hydrology, 2019
The deterioration of bridge substructure is a serious concern across the United States. The pier encasement is one of the most common practices for repairing and strengthening the bridge substructure. It is a rehabilitation process of existing pile piers

Ripple Effects: Social Turmoil Following Infant Kidnapping Attempts in Wild Geladas

Ethology, EarlyView.
Graphical abstract illustrating the social consequences of infant kidnapping in wild geladas (Theropithecus gelada). The study monitors a 28‐day period divided into a 14‐day pre‐kidnapping phase and a 14‐day post‐kidnapping phase. ABSTRACT Infant kidnapping is an extreme social disruption reported in some primate species, yet its consequences on social

The hidden science of haptics: A pedagogical review of tactile evaluation in cosmetics

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
This review explores the physiological basis of tactile perception and critically examines classical and emerging sensory methods used in cosmetics, advocating for broader methodological integration and recognition of sensory analysis in the field. Abstract Sensory analysis is a cornerstone of cosmetic development, yet remains underrepresented in peer ...

Signals, Red Lines, and Collision: The Israel‐Iran Spiral and US Intervention

Middle East Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract The Iran War erupted in February 2026 without UN authorization, and Washington's rationales—Iranian nuclear ambitions, missile capacity, and proxy threats—map more closely onto Israeli than US security interests. Why have we seen two major conflicts between these belligerents in less than one year?
