Low‐Cost Friction‐Based Force‐Limiting Connection With Reduced Sensitivity to Machining Tolerances and Accelerated Repairability

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1270-1291, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel yet practical friction‐based structural component design for low‐damage earthquake‐resistant structures. The proposed connection design is based on a conventional slotted‐bolted configuration with the novelty being the use of loose steel washer plates to establish the friction‐sliding interface.

From 0D to 3D liquid crystal elastomers architectures: Fabrications and applications

Responsive Materials, Volume 4, Issue 2, May 2026.
This review presents a dimension‐oriented overview of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), highlighting their molecular alignment, fabrication strategies, and programmable deformations from 0D particles to 3D architectures. Emphasis is placed on how dimensionality guides design principles, enables diverse actuation modes, and bridges fundamental ...

Survey of Synanthropic Spiders in Ireland Reveals Expansion and Dominance of the Invasive Noble False Widow Steatoda nobilis in Urban Habitats (Araneae: Theridiidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Rapid urbanisation has facilitated the establishment of large populations of the Noble false widow spider outside of its native range through the use of synanthropic microhabitats. In Ireland, we survey these favourable microhabitats for spider diversity for the first time and find that the Noble false widow now typically makes up more than 40% of the ...

Closing the Visibility Gap: From Work Domain Analysis to Design Requirements for Camera Monitor Systems in Mobile Machinery

Human Factors and Ergonomics in Manufacturing &Service Industries, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Collisions between mobile machines and pedestrians persist across worksites despite widespread use of camera monitor systems (CMS) that satisfy current design requirements. This signalizes a potential specification‐to‐reality gap and a lack of human‐centered, field‐relevant design criteria for visibility aids in mobile machinery.

Ontology After Folk Psychology; or, Why Eliminativists Should Be Mental Fictionalists

Analytic Philosophy, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 1-11, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Mental fictionalism holds that folk psychology should be regarded as a kind of fiction. The present version gives a Lewisian prefix semantics for mentalistic discourse, where roughly, a mentalistic sentence “p” is true iff “p” is deducible from the folk psychological fiction.

A Seismically Active Shear Zone in the Uppermost Mantle Beneath the Canadian Rockies

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Continental mantle earthquakes are uncommon but hold important clues for understanding lithospheric rheology. Few of these earthquakes (<10) have been documented in western North America, though it is likely more exist owing to difficulties in resolving focal depth for small earthquakes.

TaiChi‐AQA: A Dataset and Framework for Action Quality Assessment and Visual Analysis

IET Computer Vision, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This article presents a novel deep learning‐based framework for video action quality assessment in the context of computer vision. We utilise the I3D neural network to extract spatiotemporal features from videos and introduce a new feature enhancement module to improve the accuracy of action quality evaluation.
