Forgoing Nuclear: Nuclear Power Plant Closures and Carbon Emissions in the United States

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the effect of nuclear power plant decommissioning on electricity generation and carbon emissions in the United States. Using data on nuclear reactor closures in the United States between 1993 and 2022 and data on state‐level carbon emissions and electricity generation from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), this ...

Experimental Study on Vibration Control of Suspended Piping System by Single-Sided Pounding Tuned Mass Damper

Applied Sciences, 2019
Suspended piping systems often suffer from severe damages when subjected to seismic excitation. Due to the high flexibility of the piping systems, reducing their displacement is important for the prevention of damage during times of disaster.

From Particle to Purpose: A Systems‐Theoretical Model of Unity and Coherent Adaptation

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper develops a conceptual integration that bridges classical systems theories with insights from the Islamic intellectual tradition, focusing on the notion of zerre (particle) as articulated by Said Nursî. We reinterpret zerre as a systems‐theoretical agent that exhibits lawful responsiveness without autonomy, offering a new lens on how

On the preservation of reinforced concrete architectural masterpieces: The challenges of the REcube project

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The preservation of reinforced concrete masterpieces from the 20th century poses a complex challenge. These structures often combine architectural, historical, and technological value, which standard engineering codes and conservation practices are not fully equipped to address. The Erasmus+ REcube project responded to this gap by promoting an
