Optimising Convolutional Neural Networks to Predict the Hygrothermal Performance of Building Components

Energies, 2019
Performing numerous simulations of a building component, for example to assess its hygrothermal performance with consideration of multiple uncertain input parameters, can easily become computationally inhibitive.

Regeneration Strategies in Seed Plants: A Continuum Shaping Survival

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Seed plants dominate terrestrial ecosystems in part because regeneration is not a single event, but a coordinated sequence of traits acting across time and space. Here, we synthesize regeneration strategies in seed plants as a continuous, integrated framework spanning pre‐germination regulation, germination timing, seedling emergence, soil seed banking,

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Mechanical Properties of Compression‐Molded Alkali‐Treated Sisal/False Banana Fiber‐Reinforced Polymer Composites

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
Alkali‐treated hybrid sisal/false banana fiber‐reinforced polyester composites were fabricated by compression molding and evaluated experimentally and numerically. The 5 wt.% NaOH treatment improved fiber–matrix adhesion, enhancing tensile, flexural, and impact properties.

Optimization of Energy Consumption in Intermittent Drying of Clay Using a Central Composite Design

Energy Technology, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study investigates the influence of drying temperature, air velocity, and intermittence ratio on the drying performance and energy consumption of a convective intermittent drying process. Multi‐response optimization identifies optimal operating conditions that significantly reduce drying time and supplied power while enhancing the drying ...

Modeling Moisture Accumulation and Decay Potential in Cross-Laminated Timber Wall Assemblies Exposed During the Construction Phase

Buildings
This study examines decay risks in cross-laminated timber (CLT) wall assemblies with built-in moisture, aiming to develop a simulation-based methodology to assess moisture dynamics during the construction phase.

Fifty Years of Shore Platform Erosion Monitoring at Kaikōura Peninsula, South Island, Aotearoa‐New Zealand

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
Fifty years of micro‐erosion metre monitoring at Kaikōura show that the 2016 earthquake more than doubled shore platform erosion rates, transforming intertidal shore platforms into rapidly degrading supratidal marine terraces and reorganising the process and lithological controls that govern rock coast evolution.
