Effects of Wall‐to‐Floor Interactions on Seismic Response of Platform‐Type CLT Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
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.

GEOMETRIC INEQUALITIES FOR DOUBLY WARPED PRODUCTS POINTWISE BI-SLANT SUBMANIFOLDS IN CONFORMAL SASAKIAN SPACE FORM [PDF]

, 2021
In this paper, we have established some geometric inequalities for the squared mean curvature in terms of warping functions of a doubly warped product pointwise bi-slant submanifold of a conformal Sasakian space form with a quarter symmetric metric ...

Evaluation of Phantom Doping Materials in Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To measure magnetic susceptibility (χ) with Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) and evaluate its repeatability using four phantom doping materials relevant to QSM applications. Methods A cylindrical phantom was constructed containing vials of agarose gel doped with two paramagnetic materials (ferritin, USPIO) and two diamagnetic ...

On Warped-Twisted Product Submanifolds

, 2021
We investigate warped-twisted product semi-slant submanifolds. We prove that a warped-twisted product semi-slant submanifold of the form f2MT ×f1 Mθ with warping function f2 on Mθ and twisting function f1 is a locally doubly warped product, where MT ...

Exploiting Device Deformability for Fluid and Particle Manipulation

Small, EarlyView.
Deformable devices enable fluid and particle manipulation modes that are inaccessible to rigid platforms. This review examines soft materials and architectures that translate controlled deformation into microscale fluid operations such as pumping, valving, mixing, and particle handling.

Direct Measurement of Protein Corona Thickness on Nanomaterials Using Dual‐Color Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM)

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Quantitative dual‐color STORM imaging provides direct nanoscale measurement of protein coronas on nanoparticles in biological media. The approach reveals consistent ∼50 nm corona layers, establishing a reproducible method for characterizing the nanomaterial‐protein interfaces.

“Bad Things Happen in Philadelphia”: Managing Stigma and Threats in the Wake of False Criminal Accusations

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
In the aftermath of the 2020 U.S. election, the boundary between activism and extremism blurred, with election officials reporting violent threats and false accusations of election fraud. From a symbolic interactionist perspective, these attacks provide a unique lens for examining the consequences of being falsely labeled a criminal.

Closeness and disappointment in Jordanian friendships Proximité et déception en amitié en Jordanie

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Western folk models of friendship assume that friends like one another, implying mutually positive feelings. However, accounts of friendship from across times and places suggest that disappointment goes along with friendship as often as mutual affection.

Quasi-conformal curvature tensor on sequential doubly warped product manifolds with applications

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
This paper introduces a comprehensive geometric framework that bridges two important but previously disconnected areas of Riemannian geometry: the theory of sequential doubly warped product (SDWP) manifolds and the theory of quasi-conformal curvature ...

Unnatural Wills: Inheritance Disputes and Inequality

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Within the conceptual frame of relational economic sociology, inheritance disputes are a canonical form of relational mismatch. But the social patterning of relational mismatches, and their various ties to inequality, remain murky. In this paper, I examine all known inheritance disputes in Dallas from 1895–1945 within their social context to ...
