Failure mechanism and resistance predictions for one‐way slabs in transition between shear and punching coupling linear elastic finite element analyses with critical shear crack theory‐based models

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Linear elastic finite element analyses (LEFEAs) have become more frequent in the design and assessment of reinforced concrete slabs under concentrated loads, as they enable low‐cost evaluation of the distribution of shear forces over critical sections.

Maximizing the detection probabilities of dusky grouse for population monitoring

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Despite its status as a game species in the western USA, rigorous monitoring of dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus populations is limited. Obtaining an adequate number of observations for effective population monitoring of dusky grouse is challenging due to difficult‐to‐reach montane habitats, cryptic behaviors, and limited personnel, time, and funds at

Dusky grouse seasonal resource selection in the Great Basin isolated mountain ranges of Nevada, USA

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus are a montane forest grouse species with a paucity of information regarding their temporal and spatial resource use during critical times of high mortality and reproductive output. This lack of vital data may leave dusky grouse at risk of sub‐optimal management in many areas of their distribution, especially in the ...

Artificial supplementary food influences hedgehog occupancy and activity patterns more than predator presence or natural food availability

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Supplementary feeding for declining hedgehog Erinaceus europaeus populations is popular in Great Britain and has been suggested as an important factor in explaining higher densities in urban areas compared with rural ones. Occupancy modelling was used to test whether spatial variation in supplementary feeding, natural food, habitat, or predator ...

Analysing the Impact of Frequency Bands on Partial Discharge Measurement Outcomes in Generators Through Model‐Based Approach

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The electromagnetic wave produced by a partial discharge (PD) covers a broad range of frequencies, from a few kHz to several 100 MHz. Because of the nonlinear response of the stator winding, each frequency component of the PD pulse experiences different levels of attenuation as it travels through the winding structure. Consequently, the choice

Pollination‐related plant traits under environmental changes: Seasonal and daily mismatches produce temporal constraints

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollination is a key tenet of ecosystem sustainability and food security, but it is threatened by climate change. While many studies investigated the response of plant‐pollination traits to temperature, few attempted multifactorial and integrative approaches with ...
