Evidence for regulation of transpiration in nonstomatal plants: insights from bryophyte gametophytes
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Kinetics of cell wall water vapor potential (Ψcw) and resistance of cell wall and plasmatic membrane to water flux in response to cytoplasmic water potential (Ψcyt) during dehydration. Ψcyt was calculated from the WC at any moment of the dehydration curve by using the relationship between −1/Ψw and WC of pressure volume curves and assuming Ψw = Ψcyt ...

Fracture analysis of concrete gravity dam under earthquake induced loads
Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2011 In this paper, seismic fracture behavior of the concrete gravity dam using finite element (2D) theory has been studied. Bazant model which is non-linear fracture mechanics criteria as a measure of growth and smeared crack was chosen to develop profiles ...

Occasion and audience as poetic constructs in early modern occasional poetry
Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.Abstract Occasional poetry, composed for specific events such as weddings or funerals, was a dominant form of poetry in early modern Europe. Despite its historical prominence, the role of the occasion as a literary and rhetorical construct in occasional poetry has been very little studied.

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT What are the conditions under which business corporations expand their institutional power? This paper argues that institutional power is affected by the architecture of the “acquisition regime”—the set of formal (and informal) rules that govern how states purchase public services.

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We use grid‐group cultural theory (CT) to specify underspecified aspects of the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF). Our theoretical synthesis of CT and the ACF provides, first, an exhaustive typology of policy actors and their cultural cognitive biases that entail, guide, and constrain policy core beliefs about problem definitions and ...

Three‐Dimensional Analytical Model of a Free‐Standing Square Rocking Column
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 8, Page 1710-1727, 10 July 2026.ABSTRACT A three‐dimensional analytical two‐degree‐of‐freedom (2DOF) model is developed to describe the bounded rocking response of free‐standing rigid square columns subjected to bidirectional seismic excitation. The formulation extends Housner's classical planar theory by deriving the full three‐dimensional equations of motion for a column ...

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 2709-2730, July 2026.Abstract “L'eau c'est la vie” is a well‐known French expression for “water is life,” which reflects the fact that water is undoubtedly the most vital resource in the world. The main mission for water utility companies is to convey and distribute water that is of acceptable quality to satisfy the demand of the population at any time of the day.
