Prediction of Ceiling Temperature in Tunnel Fires Under Canyon‐Wind Conditions Using Ensemble Learning

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
A LightGBM‐based ensemble learning framework with SHAP interpretability analysis was developed for predicting ceiling temperature in canyon‐wind tunnel fires. The model demonstrated robust generalization (R2 = 0.7476) under unseen extreme conditions, with fire‐source location identified as the primary factor driving temperature evolution.

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Anchorage performance of different punching shear reinforcement elements in cracked concrete

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Extensive research has been conducted on the bond and anchorage behavior of reinforcement elements in concrete. While many experimental studies have focused on uncracked concrete, the anchorage performance in the presence of cracks remains insufficiently understood.

The measurement of gender wage discrimination: The distributional approach revisited [PDF]

This paper presents the advantages of taking into account the distribution of the individual wage gap when analyzing female wage discrimination. The limitations of previous approaches such as the classic Oaxaca-Blinder and the recent distributive ...

Attention‐Based Spatial–Temporal Model for the Entire Indoor Space Temperature Estimation

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.
This study proposes a novel attention‐based spatial–temporal model for indoor temperature estimation, which integrates positional encoding and an attention mechanism with a fully connected neural network. By jointly capturing temporal dynamics and spatial correlations, the model enables high‐resolution estimation of temperature fields across the entire

It's Not You, It's the System: Women Professors in TESOL and the Persistence of Gender Bias

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Although progress has been made with respect to the role and position of women in academia, overt and covert discrimination as well as structural and systemic bias persist. In this article, we report on research conducted with 14 women professors from 10 different countries to explore to what extent these issues affect women professors in ...

Glass ceiling in SMEs? Women, managerialization and performance

, 2012
This article analyses the role of women in a sample of Italian small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), both non-family and family owned businesses. We assume that the existence of a glass ceiling implies that women are not in a position to exercise an

Limited capacity for rapid acclimation to marine heatwaves in coastal invertebrates

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Across 10 coastal invertebrate species, we provide a rare multi‐species test of rapid acclimation to realistic marine heatwaves. Responses are consistently weak, revealing that short‐term plasticity cannot keep pace with warming and may lead to underestimated vulnerability in coastal ecosystems. Abstract Marine heatwaves are increasing in frequency and

‘Childish’ and ‘Minors’? Deconstructing Prejudice and Identity Transformation Among Spanish Women Religious During the Long Sixties1

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the identity formation process undertaken by Spanish women's religious following the aggiornamento promoted by the Second Vatican Council. Specifically, it seeks to examine the context in which these women lived and acted, analysing the construction of their identities, their capacity for agency and transgression within ...
