Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI)‐powered design framework for lightweight strain‐hardening ultra‐high‐performance composites (SH‐UHPC)

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Lightweight strain‐hardening ultra‐high‐performance concrete composite (SH‐UHPC) is an outstanding alternative for engineering applications and infrastructure thanks to its outstanding strength, toughness, ductility, and low density. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI)‐based modeling strategies into engineering problems can ...

THE ANALOG CITY: Maintaining Everyday Life Through Repair and Jugaad

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban scholarship consistently discusses improvisation and heterogeneity as central to urban life in the global South. In this article, I bring together scholarship on urban improvisation and the digital world of smart cities to understand the city as analog.

Navigating Prediabetes in a Foreign Country: A Qualitative Study of Self‐Management Experiences Among Chinese‐Speaking Immigrants in Australia

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Chinese‐speaking immigrants in Australia have a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and face more barriers to accessing quality healthcare compared to non‐culturally and linguistically diverse populations. This study aimed to explore the self‐management experiences of Chinese‐speaking Australians with self‐reported lived experience of ...

An Experimental Investigation on the Effect of Incorporating Natural Fibers on the Mechanical and Durability Properties of Concrete by Using Treated Hybrid Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Application

Fibers
This research explores the use of treated hybrid natural fibers—wheat straw and bamboo—as reinforcements in concrete for pavement applications. Motivated by environmental and economic benefits, the study investigates how these fibers can enhance the ...

From Moral Supervenience to Moral Contingentism (In One Easy Step!)

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT According to the Divide & Conquer (DC) strategy (Fogal and Risberg 2020) for explaining moral supervenience, the modal covariation between moral and natural properties can be partly explained by appeal to pure moral principles. Bhogal (2022) has recently argued that DC fails.

Three-dimensional microscale numerical simulation of fiber-reinforced concrete under sulfate freeze-thaw action

Case Studies in Construction Materials
To investigate the sulfate freeze-thaw resistance of hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete, a three-dimensional microscale stochastic fiber-reinforced concrete model was proposed. The hybrid fiber and aggregate were generated randomly in the microscale model.

Robust Inverse Material Design With Physical Guarantees Using the Voigt‐Reuss Net

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 7, 15 April 2026.
ABSTRACT We apply the Voigt‐Reuss net, a spectrally normalized neural surrogate introduced in [38], for forward and inverse mechanical homogenization with a key guarantee that all predicted effective stiffness tensors satisfy Voigt‐Reuss bounds in the Löwner sense during training, inference, and gradient‐driven optimization.
