Patterns of understorey bird diversity across Amazonian forests: survey effort and range maps predict local species richness

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Species diversity typically increases from higher to lower latitudes, but the regional‐scale variation along this geographic gradient remains unclear. It has been suggested that species diversity throughout Amazonia generally increases westward toward the Andes, but this pattern and its environmental determinants require further investigation for most ...

Vicarious Touch: A Potential Substitute for Social Touch During Touch Deprivation

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Restricted interpersonal touch experiences, for instance due to COVID‐19 social distancing measures, result in detrimental effects on anxiety, loneliness and psychological well‐being. Yet, interventions capable of mitigating the impact of social touch deprivation, as experienced during the COVID‐19 pandemic, remain insufficient. In this study,

Seismic Design of Concrete Dams: An Integrated Risk‐Informed Performance‐Based (RIPB) Framework

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper advances the integration of risk‐informed principles into the seismic design of dams—a domain long guided by standards‐based, largely deterministic approaches. While performance‐based earthquake engineering is well established for buildings and bridges, its systematic adoption in dam engineering remains limited. We first address two

Enhancing Energy Efficiency and Reducing Emissions in the Textile Industry of Bangladesh: A Pathway to Sustainability

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
The study shows how major energy consumption in different sectors of Bangladesh's textile industry, driven by conventional electric motors, can be reduced by adopting Variable Speed Drives (VSD) and High‐Efficiency Motors (HEM). VSDs lower energy use through speed reductions of 20%, 40%, and 60%, while HEMs improve efficiency under motor loads of 50 ...
