Effects of Wall‐to‐Floor Interactions on Seismic Response of Platform‐Type CLT Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2880-2896, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Platform‐type cross‐laminated timber (CLT) buildings feature discontinuous wall segments supported by CLT floors. In practice, CLT floors are often treated as rigid diaphragm, yet the wall‐to‐floor interactions (WFIs) associated with flexibility of floors remain insufficiently investigated during seismic performance assessment.

Parametric Study of Phosphogypsum‐Rock Wool‐Phosphogypsum Sandwich Lightweight Partition Wallboards Under Impact Load

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Based on the validated LS‐DYNA model, this study carried out a series of simulations on Phosphogypsum‐Rock Wool‐Phosphogypsum (P‐RW‐P) sandwich lightweight partition wallboards under impact load. The effects of structural and impact load parameters on their impact performance of P‐RW‐P wallboards were systematically analyzed, providing a basis for the ...

Flume experiments on macro‐roughness elements: Hydraulic response and potential influences on flood risk and habitat diversity

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
Physical modelling of macro‐roughness elements for river restoration showed that backwater rise depends mostly on the relative structure width and approaching flow Froude number, with only minor differences among designs. Internal geometry modulated turbulent kinetic energy and flow partition between gap and wake.

The behaviour of clothoid-shaped composite dowels: Experimental and numerical investigations

Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2020
Abstract Investigations leading to an evaluation of the ultimate strength of a clothoid-shaped continuous shear connection are presented. This paper follows a study by the authors, in which the behaviour of puzzle-shaped composite dowels was evaluated. Owing to its good fatigue, elastic and ultimate strength, the modified clothoidal dowel shape (MCL)

Dynamic coronal plane knee alignment: Femoral anatomy determines kinematic curve morphology, tibial anatomy determines curve position

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, Volume 34, Issue 8, Page 2823-2832, August 2026.
Abstract Purpose A single hip–knee–ankle angle (HKA) angle does not reflect the biomechanics of native, arthritic or prosthetic knees. Since HKA varies throughout flexion, dynamic coronal alignment is best represented by a kinematic curve plotting HKA against the range of motion.

Effects of Root Architecture on Plant Anchoring in Noncohesive Sediment

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Plant roots stabilize sediment in engineered and natural landscapes, but we lack a general understanding of how root architecture affects anchoring forces. Existing models can accurately simulate root breakage and soil failure, but such models primarily rely on experimentally calibrated empirical relations between root geometry characteristics

All‐Inside Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using a Combined Polyester Synthetic Graft and Gracilis Tendon Autograft: Modified Technique of a Hybrid 4 × 2 Graft Preparation

Arthroscopy Techniques, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a frequently performed procedure in arthroscopic surgery, with rising rates paralleling the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament ruptures worldwide. Synthetic grafts, especially hybrid constructs combining artificial devices with autologous tissue, offer biomechanical advantages and potential ...

Improving Biodiversity Surveillance in Arid Systems With Environmental DNA: Detection of Sceloporus Lizards in Texas

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
eDNA detection rate did not significantly differ among individuals and was not statistically associated with incubation time. However, the number of positive detections was doubled in samples extracted following CTAB extraction methods. ABSTRACT Arid lands account for over 40% of the terrestrial habitat on Earth yet rank among the least studied ...
