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.

Reverse engineering strut‐and‐tie models for assessing reinforced concrete structures
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Strut‐and‐tie models enable the design of reinforced concrete structures with static or geometrical discontinuities, providing interpretability and control over the load path. These models are valuable for designing discontinuity regions of new structures and for validating nonlinear finite‐element analysis results. However, developing a strut‐

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Automating bridge inspections requires more than detecting individual damage instances. It demands systems capable of describing, contextualizing, and interpreting damage in an inspection‐relevant manner. Conventional computer vision approaches, such as object detection and segmentation, primarily address visual recognition tasks and are ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Several test methods have been proposed in the literature for measuring the level of residual prestress, most of them involving either semi‐ or fully destructive techniques for local measurements which could be highly sensitive to boundary conditions and execution details.

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.Geopolymers are presented as a chemically programmable platform whose properties emerge from activation chemistry, nanoscale disorder, and interfacial design. The review highlights sustainability challenges, the shift toward nanoengineered and hybrid systems, and the rise of halloysite‐based architectures enabling tunable structures across scales for ...

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract This classroom study explored the effects of vocabulary support on collocation learning and affective responses in task‐based language teaching (TBLT) among English‐as‐a‐foreign‐language (EFL) learners at a Japanese university. For this purpose, 68 EFL learners completed two interactive information‐gap tasks under either vocabulary‐support or ...

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract This article proposes the concept of disciplinary languaging to account for the regulated forms of communication that are characteristic of TESOL master's preparatory programs in the UK. It does so with a view to the effects on the socialization of international students who are attracted by the global promotion of such programs and the ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urban green spaces experience a mix of natural and anthropogenic noises, which could disrupt the vocal communication of several species. This study investigated how such complex soundscapes affect the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula, which communicates through calls, focusing on both sound level and quality.

TriCrackNet: Trilateral Segmentation Network for Real‐Time Crack Segmentation
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT To achieve high‐precision real‐time crack segmentation, we propose TriCrackNet, an efficient network based on a tri‐branch collaborative architecture incorporating boundary constraints, semantic parsing, and spatial refinement. In the semantic branch, efficient atrous spatial pyramid pooling (EASPP) is integrated.
