The impacts of biological invasions. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Development of Full‐Scale Experiment‐Based Seismic Fragility Functions for Code‐Compliant Fire Sprinkler Piping Systems

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Fire sprinkler systems are critical for fire safety, but their functionality can be impaired by seismic damage. This study develops new seismic fragility functions for acceleration‐sensitive damage requiring monitoring, maintenance, and repair in code‐compliant fire sprinkler piping systems, using experimental data from full‐scale experimental tests ...

Engineering a Stable Solid–Electrolyte Interphase through a Novel Trifluoromethyl‐Free Lithium Salt for Lithium Metal Polymer Batteries

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 2, March 2026.
The motivation behind the development of the new lithium salt LiDFFSI is to combine the advantages of both LiFSI and LiDFSI salts. LiDFFSI offers high ionic conductivity and enhanced compatibility with aluminum current collectors. Additionally, it promotes the formation of a conductive SEI layer rich in LiF and LiH, which contributes to an extended ...

A Scoping Review and Bibliometric Analysis on Smart Firefighting in Buildings and Infrastructures

Fire and Materials, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 145-173, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Smart Firefighting is a concept that has emerged within the fire engineering and fire science disciplines in recent years. It can enable informed decision making and improved fire safety. However, its scope, definition, outcomes, and value to emergency management remain unclear. To investigate this, a scoping review and a bibliometric analysis

Two Regimes of Waste and Value: ‘Post‐Disaster’ Landscapes in a New India

Development and Change, Volume 57, Issue 1, Page 27-49, January 2026.
ABSTRACT In this age of ‘disaster capitalism’, catastrophes are neither ‘natural’ nor ‘external’. They are political events mediating and vitally shaping the unequal and exploitative use of environmental resources. India's ‘post‐disaster’ landscapes at the turn of the new millennium powerfully demonstrate how visions of the new‐normal can be imposed in

Assessment of Life Safety Risk in Building Fires With an Integrated Fire and Evacuation Model

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This paper presents an integrated simulation methodology that combines fire hazard modeling with pedestrian evacuation analysis to evaluate how tenability conditions affect occupant egress. In the proposed approach, fire scenarios representative of leisure and spa resorts are modeled using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS).
