Evaluation of Sustainable Urban Design With a Focus on Spatial Organization and Climatic Analysis

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The urban heat island (UHI) effect increases with the growth of cities and population. This situation triggers global climate change, and cities are negatively affected by this situation. In this study, five provinces (Antalya, Gaziantep, Bursa, Kayseri, and Erzurum) located in different climate zones in Turkey were selected as samples ...

A Discontinuous Model to Study Fracture of Brittle Materials

open access: yesActa Polytechnica, 2004
In this paper, the partition of the unity property of finite element shape functions is used to introduce displacement discontinuities into finite elements.

Concomitant Gradient Effects Across Field Strengths and Gradient Amplitudes: Improved Estimation of Errors and Correction of Concomitant Dephasing and Diffusion Weighting

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 3, Page 1178-1191, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose Deleterious effects from concomitant gradients are amplified at lower field strengths and stronger gradients. We aimed to show the signal errors caused by concomitant gradients across a wide range of hardware configurations and propose corrections that can be applied during experimental design and analysis.

A MLPG Meshless Method for Numerical Simulation of Unsteady Incompressible Flows

open access: yesJournal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2017
This article presents a numerical algorithm using the Meshless Local PetrovGalerkin (MLPG) method for numerical simulation of unsteady incompressible flows, governed by the Navier–Stokes equations via the stream function–vorticity (ψ–ω) formulation.

A Coupled Extended Finite Element–Cohesive Zone Model for Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Under Poroelastic Effects Across Different Propagation Regimes

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 11, Page 4518-4540, 10 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Numerical simulation of hydraulic fracturing remains challenging due to the strong coupling between geomechanics and fluid flow when modelling multiple physical mechanisms of rock deformation, fracture evolution and fluid leak‐off. This study develops a coupled hydraulic fracture propagation framework that combines the extended finite element ...

Estimating Wind‐Power Capacity Time Series From Production Data Using a Power Curve Model and Quadratic Optimization

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate, time‐resolved installed capacity data are crucial for forecasting and analysing wind‐power production. The time series of installed capacity is often only approximately known in regions with rapid wind power development. Public wind power databases may only be updated yearly and installation dates may not be differentiated within ...

Review of a Heaviside step sequence function and the recursive Heaviside step sequence function for modeling human mental state

open access: yes
In this paper, we define a novel recursive Heaviside step sequence function and demonstrate its applicability to modeling human mental states such as thought processes, memory recall, and forgetfulness. By extending the traditional Heaviside step function, which typically represents binary transitions, into a recursive sequence framework, we introduce ...

Defect‐Functionalization‐Mediated Tunneling Drives Nonlinear Photoemission in Perovskites

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
This cover illustration depicts CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals embedded with functionalized defect vacancies, where electrons migrate through defect‐mediated pathways and emit as lightning‐like beams. The imagery visualizes the core discovery of our work—defect‐functionalization‐mediated tunneling enabling nonlinear photoemission, where deep‐level ...
