The impact of shoulder characteristics on safety of highway in horizontal curves: a systematic literature review

Discover Civil Engineering
Highway geometry has a significant impact on road safety, particularly in the shoulder of horizontal curves where vehicle dynamics and driver behavior are changed, and the likelihood of an accident is significantly higher.

Blasting effects of cross‐fault deep‐buried excavation on adjacent existing tunnel stability

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on the theoretical analysis of cylindrical wave propagation in a deep rock mass in the fault with a filling layer, the calculation method of peak particle velocity caused by wave propagation in the existing tunnel is established. The viscoelastic characteristics of a rock mass are examined in the analysis.

Form and load transfer aspects of foundation systems: Case‐based implementation and adaptation for buildings

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Upon conceptualization of structural behavior, foundations in terms of their form are divided into linear (1D), planar (2D), and volumetric (3D). Regarding the load transfer mechanisms, linear foundation systems are considered vector‐acting, planar foundations are divided into section and surface‐acting, and volumetric ones are recognized as block ...

Habitat complexity and prey composition shape an apex predator's habitat use across contrasting landscapes

Ecography, EarlyView.
The spatial ecology of stalk‐and‐ambush predators like the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx depends on prey availability and environmental features, yet the relative roles of these factors remain unclear at large spatial scales. In this study, we analysed lynx habitat use across central and southern Finland using snow‐track data from the Wildlife Triangle ...

POWER: Performance Optimization With Evaluated Results for HEV Battery Selection via MCDM‐TOPSIS

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing transportation demands and environmental concerns in India necessitate the selection of optimal battery technologies for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). As the fifth‐largest car market globally, India faces rising vehicle demand, while the transportation sector remains a major contributor to air pollution.

Integrating the Gestalt Model of Self With Psychedelic‐Assisted Psychotherapy

The Journal of Humanistic Counseling, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This theoretical integration paper employs a conceptual analysis methodology to synthesize the Gestalt model of self‐as‐process with Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP). Unlike traditional psychedelic therapy models that defer therapeutic engagement to postsession integration, PSIP emphasizes an active, directive therapeutic

Moose indifferent to canopy loss from forest disturbance by bark beetles

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Moose showed strikingly similar patterns of habitat selection before and after widespread forest disturbance following an infestation of bark beetles. Our findings indicate that beetle‐kill does not appreciably alter habitat quality for moose and highlight the importance of riparian areas in sustaining moose as they contend with changing forests ...
