Fracture analysis of concrete gravity dam under earthquake induced loads
, 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 ...

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 ...

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.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Silicate rock powder (SRP), a slow‐release mineral additive, is increasingly used as a potential mitigation measure against soil acidification in natural areas. SRP addition has led to a higher soil base saturation and small increases in soil nutrient availability.

Reducing Burnout and Disengagement: A Review of the Strategies of Social Change Organizations
Sociological Forum, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The literature on burnout and persistence for activists or other social change actors has diversified from an explanation of causes to the study of how to address the challenges of disengagement. This review of the literature provides an analysis of organizational strategies for reducing burnout and disengagement.

Seismic Response Analysis of Reservoir Water-Gravity Dam-Foundation System
, 2017 The Scaled boundary finite element method and finite-infinite element method are used to model the system of reservoir water – gravity Dam - infinite foundation. The effect of the reservoir water and the infinite foundation on the seismic response of the

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.With the recent increases in measured ground motion records for large earthquakes, most notably the 2023 M7.8 Pazarcik earthquake in Türkiye, the potential for pervasive high velocity fault rupture propagation over an extensive fault length has been observed.
