River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Florida's regulatory framework requires the establishment of minimum flows to protect aquatic ecosystems and water resources from significant harm. One of the primary methods used to evaluate significant harm is assessment of instream habitat, which relies on Habitat Suitability Criteria (HSC) curves that relate flow regimes and habitat ...

From Green Strategy to Sustainable Development: Corporate Efforts Toward SDG 12 and SDG 13
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Firms are increasingly integrating United Nations Development Goals 12 (Responsible consumption and production) and 13 (Climate action) as a part of their sustainability strategies. However, prior research has rarely examined how these SDGs interact as a unified capability rather than as isolated practices.

Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The robustness of bridge structures is critical to ensuring safety and service continuity, particularly in aging infrastructure exposed to degradation and unexpected loads. Reinforced concrete (RC) half‐joint bridges—widely built in Italy between the 1950s and 1970s—exhibit specific vulnerabilities due to inspection challenges, durability ...

Cash Settlement of Lean Hog Futures Contracts Reexamined
In 1997 the Chicago Mercantile Exchange replaced its live hog futures contract with a cash settlement mechanism based on a Lean Hog Index. Although cash settlement was expected to increase the use of the contract as a hedging tool, producers and packers ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract With the market introduction of new reinforcing materials, such as corrosion‐resistant steel, the effect of their stress–strain relationship on the ductility of reinforced concrete structures needs to be evaluated. Their moment‐curvature behavior significantly influences bending moment redistributions, rotation capacity, and deformation at ...

Pre‐failure behavior of continuous post‐tensioned and post‐grouted beam in case of tendon failure
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Grouted tendons are a common solution for long‐span bridge structures. The grout provides bond and corrosion protection for prestressing steel. However, if the grouting is defective, corrosion of the prestressing steel may initiate and eventually lead to tendon failure.
