Fire sprinkler systems are critical for fire safety, but their functionality can be impaired by seismic damage. This study develops new seismic fragility functions for acceleration‐sensitive damage requiring monitoring, maintenance, and repair in code‐compliant fire sprinkler piping systems, using experimental data from full‐scale experimental tests ...

Quantification of Direct Benefits of Functional Recovery‐Based Design for Seismic Resilience
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.

Flow‐Regulated Migration Phenology of Potamodromous Fishes in a Large Regulated Australian River
ABSTRACT Phenological shifts in animal migration are widely reported under climate warming, yet responses of warm‐temperate river fishes in regulated systems remain poorly resolved. Understanding how hydrological and thermal cues interact to structure migration timing is central to predicting ecological responses in large rivers and informing ...

Third Harmonic Generation in Transparent Longitudinal Epsilon‐Near‐Zero Multilayers
Transparent longitudinal epsilon‐near‐zero stacks enable field‐enhanced nonlinear light generation while preserving high near‐infrared pump transmission. Broadband third‐harmonic generation is experimentally observed demonstrating that TLENZ architectures can mitigate pump‐loss limitations and offer a promising platform for transparent nonlinear ...

Th4+ or UO22+ actinides, neutral bipyridine‐N,N’‐dioxide ligands, and anionic cyanoaurate linkers are combined to generate a family of four coordination polymers. ‘Truss bridge’ and square grid cationic frameworks are yielded when using [Au(CN)2]− or [Au(CN)4]−, respectively, indicating a templating effect guided by either aurophilic interactions ...
