Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2760-2780, September 2026.ABSTRACT This study investigates the seismic response of moment‐resisting frames retrofitted with a stepping rocking wall, with emphasis on weak‐story mitigation and residual drift reduction under both ordinary and pulse‐like ground motions. Nonlinear response‐history analyses are conducted on 9‐story and 20‐story SAC Los Angeles frames.

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.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2930-2947, September 2026.ABSTRACT Self‐centering rocking structures outperform conventional ones since they show zero post‐earthquake damage and excellent recentering; however, their applications remain limited due to concerns that rocking is extremely sensitive and nonrepeatable. This paper investigates the repeatability and parasitic out‐of‐plane motion of controlled rocking

National Relics: Secular Sacrality, Museums, and Heritage‐Making in Nineteenth‐Century Chile
Museum Anthropology, Volume 49, Issue 2, Fall 2026.ABSTRACT This article examines how objects and bodily remains are transformed and ritualized into national relics through collecting and exhibiting practices in museums. Focusing on nineteenth‐century Chile, it draws on archival sources, material culture theory, and the anthropology of religion to argue that objects associated with Chile's nation‐state

Relative Effects of Fabry‐Perot, Mie, and Guided‐Mode Resonance in Periodic Photonic Lattice Physics
Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 16, 26 August 2026.The physical origins of resonance effects in one‐dimensional periodic photonic lattices are studied to assess the relative roles of Fabry–Perot, Mie, and guided‐mode resonance mechanisms. It is shown that lattice resonance is fundamentally governed by lateral leaky Bloch modes and their coupling to external radiation via guided‐mode resonance.

Equivalent Subsurface Thermal Characteristics for Heterogeneous Surfaces
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.Abstract Land‐surface and atmospheric models often represent subgrid‐scale variability using a single set of effective properties. Estimating these equivalent properties is critical for predicting land‐atmosphere exchanges accurately, but challenging when materials with distinct radiative and thermal characteristics coexist, particularly in urban ...

Monte carlo assessment of advanced shielding materials for space‐efficient radiotherapy vault design
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Background Conventional radiotherapy vault shielding typically employs 2 to 3 meters of ordinary concrete, consistent with NCRP Report 151 reference data. While NCRP 151 specifies dose‐based design goals rather than mandating particular materials, the practical default of concrete results in vault footprints of 150 to 200 m2 per linac, which ...

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Eco‐friendly construction practices have emerged as a cornerstone of modern development. Due to the substantial carbon emissions from cement production, there is a growing demand for supplementary cementitious materials. This study investigated the synergistic effects of two different wastes, silica‐rich rice husk ash (RHA) and calcium‐rich ...
