Seismic Investigation for the Characterization of a Gravity Concrete Dam

, 2016
Monitoring of large-scale infrastructures plays an important role for public safety and prevention. The control of the safety assessment of a dam is largely dependent on knowledge of the mechanical parameters of the actual construction, as well as its ...

Marketization in Public Purchasing as a Route to Business Corporations' Institutional Power: The Case of Outsourcing Social Services in Israel

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 3, August 2026.
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.

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 ...

Pseudo dynamic test results of a concrete gravity dam

, 2014
The energy and water demands have constantly been increasing all over the world due to rising population and due to advances in science. This fact obligates the usage of natural resources to supply more and more water and energy.

Modelling Climate Change Effects on Groundwater Recharge and Temperature for a Pre‐Alpine Lysimeter

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.
Climate change is projected to increase winter groundwater recharge and extreme precipitation events in pre‐alpine regions. Groundwater temperatures will rise by up to 26%, primarily driven by air temperature. These trends pose challenges for future water availability and quality, requiring adaptive water resource management.

Comparative Study on Prediction Models for Crack Opening Degree in Concrete Dam

Renmin Zhujiang
In recent years, classical statistical models and machine learning models have been developed in parallel in the field of dam safety monitoring. However, there are some deficiencies in the predictive power of the former and the theoretical explanation of

Copepod community structure and physiological rates shape the biological pump during early North Atlantic spring bloom

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Zooplankton plays an important role in the biological carbon pump, and zooplankton biomass and community structure can have a large influence on the sedimentation/remineralization balance of the water column. We investigated the potential effects of zooplankton community structure and eco‐physiology on the export and attenuation of vertical ...

Status of On‐Farm Artificial Insemination Services and Effectiveness of Oestrus Synchronization in Dairy Cattle Under Small‐Scale Dairy Farming System

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Cross‐sectional survey and retrospective data on the oestrus synchronization were collected and analysed. The predominant mating system practiced by dairy farmers was AI (55.6%), and 73.5% of farmers apply controlled mating. The highest response rate and pregnancy rate were 89.5% and 45.2%, respectively, whereas a birth rate of 9.6%–18.5% was obtained.
