Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Masonry infills in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are highly vulnerable to seismic damage, often sustaining severe cracking even under moderate ground motion, which in turn leads to considerable economic losses and safety risks. To address this issue, this study experimentally evaluates the effectiveness of two innovative rubber‐based joints ...

Legacy effects of locally extinct flagship species on protected areas
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Protected areas (PAs) are often established to conserve flagship megafauna so as to mobilize political support and secure sustained conservation investment, with the expectation that flagship‐centered governance will also protect habitat. Despite such efforts, flagship species can experience extirpation, raising a fundamental question: do conservation ...

On Geodesics of Sprays and Projective Completeness
, 2023 Geodesics, which play an important role in spray-Finsler geometry, are integral curves of a spray vector field on a manifold. Some comparison theorems and rigidity issues are established on the completeness of geodesics of a spray or a Finsler metric. In

The affine approach to homogeneous geodesics in homogeneous Finsler spaces [PDF]
, 2010 summary:In the recent paper [Yan, Z.: Existence of homogeneous geodesics on homogeneous Finsler spaces of odd dimension, Monatsh. Math. 182,1, 165–171 (2017)], it was claimed that any homogeneous Finsler space of odd dimension admits a homogeneous ...

Geological Journal, EarlyView.New zircon ages reveal that lacustrine sedimentation initiated in the Late Miocene (Messinian), revising earlier Pliocene age assignments. The study results support the interpretation of the northern BFSZ as a broad left‐lateral transtensional shear zone rather than a discrete sinistral fault or simple extensional graben array.

Falling into the Past: Geodesics in a Time Travel Metric
UniverseWe investigate timelike and null geodesics within the rotating “time machine” spacetime proposed by Ralph, T.C.; et al. Phys. Rev. D 2020, 102, 124013. This is a rotating analogue of Alcubierre’s warp drive spacetime.

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.Abstract Background Differences in Frontal Alpha Asymmetry (FAA), derived from the electroencephalogram (EEG), have been associated with approach‐withdrawal behavior, although inconsistently. The current study examined how early patterns of FAA during the first 2 years of life relate to various socioemotional characteristics (at 2 years) and ultimately

Intercomparison of a Regional Climate Model Ensemble for Selected European Catchments
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study analyzes a regional climate model ensemble for water cycle and water resource research with two models. Results show that ICON generally outperforms TSMP1 simulations, mainly with 2‐m temperature and precipitation. These findings serve as a baseline evaluation that shows how key structural differences influence the model skill.
