Shear wall plan layout optimization considering seismic loads
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Seismic force resistant structural design requires experience and time. Shear wall elements are generally used in concrete structures due to their high stiffness against horizontal forces. The aim of this study is to obtain optimum structural wall disposition by using building information modeling (BIM) technologies.

Rethinking Face‐to‐Face Interaction: Lessons from Studies of “Autistic Sociality”
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.Face‐to‐face interaction is a foundational concept in microsociology. This article surveys the social experiences of autistic people, who are commonly known for having a strained relationship with interactions face to face. By interpretively reviewing and synthesizing the broader literature on “autistic sociality,” the article provides a nuanced ...

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.As distributed energy resources (DERs) penetration increases, complex power flows lead to challenges such as voltage violations, system congestion, and increase of distribution loss. To effectively address these issues and enhance energy efficiency, an hourly dynamic system configuration optimization method is essential, as traditional annual and ...

Assessing habitat suitability for black grouse broods at the bioregional scale
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The black grouse Lyrurus tetrix, a galliform species emblematic of the European Alps, is currently threatened by habitat change, particularly given the closure of heathland linked to the rising tree line at higher altitudes. The presence of heathlands in good ecological condition is, however, imperative for the species' reproduction.

Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.
