Abstract Pavement life cycle management (LCM) is essential for assessing the long‐term environmental and economic impacts of roadway infrastructure by means of pavement life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle cost analysis (LCCA). However, pavement LCA and LCCA studies frequently overlook the use phase due to the limited availability of performance ...

Abstract The accuracy of road crack detection is susceptible to factors such as illumination variations and tiny crack sizes. Additionally, the loss function in road crack detection is prone to fluctuations during the training process, leading to instability.

Abstract This study introduces a novel optimization framework based on the differentiable material point method (DiffMPM) for the identification of structural and loading parameters from dynamic structural monitoring data. Structural health monitoring (SHM) methodologies are often challenged by the need to interpret limited and noisy measurements for ...

Abstract Most post‐disaster damage classifiers perform best when destructive forces leave clear spectral or structural signatures. However, these signatures are often subtle or absent after inundation, where damage may be nonstructural and difficult to detect.

The Americanization of Nigerian English spelling and punctuation
Abstract Spelling is the most standardized level of language, and prescriptive spelling norms in former British colonies often advocate adherence to British spelling norms which differs from the local linguistic reality. Hence, recent research on the evolution of postcolonial Englishes and the Americanization of Englishes worldwide has questioned the ...

Holomorphic field theories and higher algebra
Abstract Aimed at complex geometers and representation theorists, this survey explores higher dimensional analogs of the rich interplay between Riemann surfaces, Virasoro and Kac‐Moody Lie algebras, and conformal blocks. We introduce a panoply of examples from physics — field theories that are holomorphic in nature, such as holomorphic Chern‐Simons ...

Computational modelling of the impact of anatomical changes on ECGs in left ventricular hypertrophy
Abstract figure legend Eccentric and concentric left ventricular hypertrophy distinctly alter 12‐lead ECG signals. Eccentric hypertrophy predominantly increases voltages in the precordial leads, whereas concentric hypertrophy affects voltages across all leads in a variable manner.

Abstract We study convergence problems for the intermediate long wave (ILW) equation, with the depth parameter δ>0$\delta > 0$, in the deep‐water limit (δ→∞$\delta \rightarrow \infty$) and the shallow‐water limit (δ→0$\delta \rightarrow 0$) from a statistical point of view.

Abstract In subwavelength physics, a challenging problem is to characterise the spectral properties of finite systems of subwavelength resonators. In particular, it is important to identify localised modes as well as bandgaps and associated mobility edges.
