Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective New onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) is a rare, severe presentation of refractory status epilepticus (RSE), with approximately half of cases cryptogenic NORSE (c‐NORSE). We compared electroencephalographic (EEG) findings alongside clinical features between NORSE and RSE not meeting NORSE criteria to better understand ...

Sensitivity of 3D Base‐Isolated Buildings to Individual Isolator Variability
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Variability in elastomeric isolators arises from differences in rubber formulation and curing, leading to noticeable changes in stiffness and damping among nominally identical bearings. While most previous studies have examined global isolator variability associated with environmental or aging effects, individual isolator variability has ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Viscous dampers (VDs) are widely used to mitigate the excessive responses of long‐span bridges. However, VDs face some intricate challenges in engineering practices, including high damping coefficient requirement, potential base shear amplification and tremendous damping force under high velocity. To address these issues, this study develops a

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the seismic response of moment‐resisting frames retrofitted with a stepping rocking wall, with emphasis on weak‐story mitigation and residual drift reduction under both ordinary and pulse‐like ground motions. Nonlinear response‐history analyses are conducted on 9‐story and 20‐story SAC Los Angeles frames.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Self‐centering rocking structures outperform conventional ones since they show zero post‐earthquake damage and excellent recentering; however, their applications remain limited due to concerns that rocking is extremely sensitive and nonrepeatable. This paper investigates the repeatability and parasitic out‐of‐plane motion of controlled rocking

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We present a hybrid interpretable Physics‐Informed Neural Network Long‐Short Term Memory (Hybrid PINN LSTM) framework for predicting the seismic response of rocking blocks. Existing analytical models rely on uncertain idealizations, while purely data‐driven and machine‐learning approaches lack physical consistency and interpretability.

Rocking and Rolling of Rigid Polygons Under Seismic Excitation
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We present an event driven analytical framework for rigid cyclic polygons subjected to horizontal ground excitation in which uplift, impact, and successive pivot switching are treated within a unified non‐smooth dynamical description. Rolling is defined as a sequence of energetically admissible transitions between neighbouring vertices tied to
