Development of Full‐Scale Experiment‐Based Seismic Fragility Functions for Code‐Compliant Fire Sprinkler Piping Systems

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Fire sprinkler systems are critical for fire safety, but their functionality can be impaired by seismic damage. This study develops new seismic fragility functions for acceleration‐sensitive damage requiring monitoring, maintenance, and repair in code‐compliant fire sprinkler piping systems, using experimental data from full‐scale experimental tests ...

Automated Pharmacometric Model Development by Leveraging Low‐Dimensional Neural ODEs and LASSO Regression

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Current pharmacometrics (PMX) model development is a manual process with iterative model building, fitting, and evaluation, which can be resource‐intensive and time‐consuming. Existing automated model development approaches utilize algorithms that still rely on iterative processes and perform model selection based on goodness‐of‐fit criteria ...

Copy Number Analysis in Congenital Nevi: Concordance and Diagnostic Limitations of aCGH, sWGS, and Methylation Sequencing

Pigment Cell &Melanoma Research, Volume 39, Issue 4, July 2026.
Distinguishing proliferative nodules from melanoma in congenital melanocytic nevi remains challenging. While aCGH, sWGS, and methylation sequencing show high concordance for broad CNAs, higher‐resolution methods detect additional focal alterations that can lead to discordant classifications.

Near‐0°C Temperature Pathways From High‐Resolution Simulation in Current and Pseudo‐Global Warming Future Over Eastern Canada and United States

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Near‐0°C (−2°C to +2°C) air temperatures are critical for determining the phase of precipitation, the onset of freeze–thaw cycles, and associated impacts on the environment and infrastructure. Change is expected in a warming climate, yet large‐scale high‐resolution understanding of near‐0°C transitions remains limited, particularly under ...
