Quantification of Direct Benefits of Functional Recovery‐Based Design for Seismic Resilience
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Lessons from recent major earthquakes have shown that current life‐safety‐centered seismic design practice falls short in ensuring a desirable post‐hazard recovery. Extensive economic losses, high demolition rates, and long recovery have signified a gap between design targets and society's expectations of seismic performance of code‐compliant buildings.

A Bayesian Framework for Empirical Estimation of Post‐Earthquake Building Inspection Time
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Building safety inspections can be an impeding determinant of post‐earthquake recovery, yet their durations remain inadequately quantified because fine‐grained operational data are rarely available. Here, we present a probabilistic Bayesian framework to quantify building‐level inspection time, calibrated against a comprehensive multiagency dataset from

Hexagonal Hollow‐Core Photonic Crystal Fiber for High‐Sensitivity Terahertz Glucose Detection
Journal of Biophotonics, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.A novel hexagonal hollow‐core photonic crystal fiber (HPhCF) operating at 2.2 THz is proposed for rapid, non‐invasive detection of urinary glucose. The Zeonex‐based hollow‐core architecture enhances light‐analyte interaction, enabling 96.90% relative sensitivity while maintaining ultra‐low confinement loss and low effective material loss.
