Effects of Joint Configurations on Shear Behavior of Prefabricated Segmental Cap Beams

Buildings
The joint configurations of prefabricated segmental cap beams exhibit considerable diversity in engineering applications. In recent years, combined shear key corbel connections have been increasingly adopted due to their advantages in prefabrication ...

Population Decline for Plants in the California Floristic Province: Does Demography or Geography Determine Climate Change Vulnerability?

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim The role of species' demography and geography can be difficult to disentangle when projecting future population decline under global change. By constructing and combining species‐specific ecological models for plants in a fire‐prone Mediterranean‐type ecosystem, we explored how demography and geography can differentially affect population ...

Brucellosis: an Overview

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1997
Brucellosis remains a major zoonosis worldwide. Although many countries have eradicated Brucella abortus from cattle, in some areas Brucella melitensis has emerged as a cause of infection in this species as well as in sheep and goats. Despite vaccination

NuSTAR and Swift observations of the black hole candidate XTE J1908+094 during its 2013 outburst [PDF]

, 2015
The black hole candidate XTE J1908+094 went into outburst for the first time since 2003 in October 2013. We report on an observation with the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) and monitoring observations with Swift during the outburst ...

Gene Expression Shifts in Emperor Penguin Adaptation to the Extreme Antarctic Environment

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 15, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Gene expression can accelerate ecological divergence by rapidly tweaking the response of an organism to novel environments, with more divergent environments exerting stronger selection and supposedly, requiring faster adaptive responses. Organisms adapted to extreme environments provide ideal systems to test this hypothesis, particularly when ...

Jet disc coupling in black hole binaries [PDF]

, 2006
In the last decade multi-wavelength observations have demonstrated the importance of jets in the energy output of accreting black hole binaries. The observed correlations between the presence of a jet and the state of the accretion flow provide important

Precipitation and female experience are major determinants of the breeding performance of Canarian houbara bustards

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 4, July 2025.
Precipitation is one of the main triggers of reproduction in desert‐breeding birds. The unpredictability of rainfall patterns in arid environments has led species to adapt their breeding effort to episodes of abundant food after rainfall. The response is not the same for all individuals in a population, and may vary especially with the age and ...

Numerical analysis of the performance of beam-column connection using hidden steel corbel in precast concrete structures [PDF]

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais
Precast concrete construction has advantages over conventional in situ methods, including short construction time and improved quality control. The performance of precast construction heavily relies on its connections, whose lack of knowledge can lead to
