Adaptive Hybrid Multi‐Objective Evolutionary Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Network Optimization: A Comprehensive Framework Integrating Opposition‐Based Learning and Levy Flight Strategies

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
The configuration of WSN design parameters presents a formidable multi‐objective optimization challenge characterized by five competing objectives that exhibit complex interdependencies. Figure 1 illustrates a typical WSN deployment topology showing sensor nodes, cluster heads, coverage areas, and various network conditions including out‐of‐range ...

Accelerating Full‐Wave Antenna Optimization: An Adaptive Surrogate‐Assisted Differential Evolution Framework

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
An adaptive surrogate‐assisted differential evolution framework integrates machine learning‐based surrogate modeling with selective full‐wave electromagnetic validation to accelerate antenna optimization. A CST–Python workflow combines Latin‐hypercube sampling, cross‐validated model selection, and iterative dataset refinement to guide the search toward

Numerical Simulation of Post‐Yield Hysteretic Behavior of Lap‐Spliced Reinforced Concrete Bridge Pier Walls Under Earthquake Loading

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1356-1376, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Reinforced concrete pier walls designed before the 1970s often incorporate lap splice in potential plastic‐hinge regions. Previous experimental tests indicate that most of pier walls experienced post‐yield lap splice failure, necessitating a modeling approach that captures not only lap splice strength but also deformation capacity.

Seismic Fragility Analysis of Containment Structures in Nuclear Power Plants Considering Alkali‐Silica Reaction

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1467-1487, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study quantifies the influence of alkali‐silica reaction (ASR) on the seismic fragility of prestressed concrete containment structures in nuclear power plants (NPPs). Global collapse was considered as the governing failure mode to maintain consistency with current risk assessment frameworks, and was captured using a finite element model ...

Achieving Functionality Targets for Seismically Isolated Steel Buildings Using Gaussian Process Modeling

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
As seismic design paradigms shift toward functional recovery, there is a need for efficient methods to achieve desired decision variables (DVs), such as probability of replacement, repair cost, and downtime of the building, for seismically isolated buildings.

Rebound Effects of Digital Textile Microfactories in Fashion, a System Dynamics Study of CO2 Emissions

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 1229-1248, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT The fashion industry's high resource use and globalised supply chains generate environmental degradation through overproduction, waste and pollution. Digital Textile Microfactories (DTMFs) are promoted as a more sustainable alternative because they enable fast, digitalised and often localised production, but lower costs and a greener image may

Seasonal Drivers of Storm Tides and Coastal Flood Impacts Along the US Atlantic Coast

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Due to sea‐level rise, densely populated coastal areas are facing increasing flood risk during coastal storms. Much of the US East Coast experiences extratropical cyclones (ETCs) more frequently than tropical cyclones (TCs), yet many studies on extreme flood risk focus primarily on TCs or exclude ETCs altogether.

Assessing Deposit‐Derived Pyroclastic Flow Hazard at Stromboli (Italy): 1. Reconstruction of the Dynamics of the 11 September 1930 Event

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Stromboli volcano (Italy) is known for its persistent explosive activity punctuated by more energetic explosions called paroxysms. During paroxysms, pyroclastic density currents, triggered by the gravitational instability of hot pyroclastic deposits, can occur.

Assessing Deposit‐Derived Pyroclastic Flow Hazard at Stromboli (Italy): 2. Probabilistic Invasion Maps

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This study presents a new method to assess the hazard of deposit‐derived pyroclastic density currents (PDC), a critical threat on volcanic islands and on populated slopes of active volcanoes, considering the exemplary case study of Stromboli (Italy).
