Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Reverse engineering strut‐and‐tie models for assessing reinforced concrete structures

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Strut‐and‐tie models enable the design of reinforced concrete structures with static or geometrical discontinuities, providing interpretability and control over the load path. These models are valuable for designing discontinuity regions of new structures and for validating nonlinear finite‐element analysis results. However, developing a strut‐

Exploring Distribution‐of‐Practice Effects on L2 Grammar Learning Among Older Adults

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper examines the effects of practice distribution among older adult learners of L2 English, an understudied population in both second language acquisition and distributed practice research. Additionally, it considers the effects of proficiency and age.

Temperate forest heterogeneity decreases local and landscape‐scale spider diversity through habitat filtering despite increasing species turnover

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
In a large‐scale German forest experiment, habitat heterogeneity increased spider turnover but reduced local alpha diversity through habitat filtering. Together, these effects lowered landscape‐scale spider diversity. As such, the study shows whether environmental heterogeneity increases or decreases biodiversity depends on the balance between habitat ...

Long‐term patterns of breeding range expansion mirror invasion dynamics during recolonisation of a semi‐colonial raptor

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We used a unique long‐term dataset of population recovery in the Osprey Pandion haliaetus to reveal the similarity in spatial patterns underpinning recolonisations and biological invasions. Our findings highlight the importance of rare pioneering movements in driving range expansion, and the value of conservation interventions such as species ...

Network Structure and the Efficiency Gains from Mergers: Evidence from U.S. Freight Railroads

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The trade‐off between market power and efficiency gains is central to antitrust analyses of mergers, but empirical evidence quantifying efficiencies remains limited. Using transaction‐level data from U.S. freight railroads (1985–2005), this article quantifies merger‐induced cost efficiencies, driven mainly by eliminating inter‐railroad ...

Myopia prevalence in Finland doubled from 1930s to 1950s birth cohorts and is linked to educational attainment

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of myopia and factors associated with the increase of myopia prevalence in Finland between two generations and discuss the reasons why myopia has not increased similarly as in many Asian countries. Methods A questionnaire assessing factors potentially related to myopia was sent

Beyond profit maximization: The effect of cooperative governance on insolvency risk in the Brazilian supplementary healthcare industry

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Traditional bankruptcy literature has primarily focused on commercial enterprises, often overlooking the unique dynamics of cooperatives and other small organizations. This study addresses this g ap by developing a predictive model for insolvency risk within Brazil's supplementary health sector, encompassing both for‐profit and not‐for‐profit ...
