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

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 1019-1049, 25 April 2026.
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

Time‐ and State‐Dependent Damage Accumulation Due to Aftershocks Under an M9.0 Megathrust Earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 1157-1175, 25 April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study develops a comprehensive framework for assessing time and state‐dependent aftershock damage accumulation under an M9.0 megathrust interface earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). The framework integrates aftershock probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (APSHA) and state‐dependent fragility analysis (SDFA) within a ...

Time to First Antenatal Care Booking and Its Predictors Among Pregnant Women Attending Antenatal Care Follow‐up at Pawe General Hospital, Pawe District, Northwest Ethiopia, 2024: A Retrospective Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims In Ethiopia, below one third of pregnant mothers initiate antenatal care before 3 months, which partially attributed to maternal and neonatal mortality. However, there is limited evidence on predictors of time to first Antenatal care booking among pregnant women using survival analysis.

Correlation Between “Jet Phenomenon” and Pharyngeal High Resolution Manometry: A Pilot Study

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Jet phenomenon (JP) refers to a turbulent high‐flow jet of contrast agent passing through a narrow upper esophageal sphincter (UES) and is observed on fluoroscopic swallow studies in some patients with cricopharyngeal muscle dysfunction (CPMD).

Ionomycin Exhibits Potent and Selective Bactericidal Activity Against Clostridioides difficile Through Calcium‐Dependent Membrane Disruption

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Ionomycin exhibits potent and selective bactericidal activity against Clostridioides difficile, rapidly reducing vegetative cells, toxin production, sporulation, and spore germination while sparing representative gut microbiota. Its activity is calcium‐dependent and mediated through disruption of bacterial membrane potential, highlighting ionomycin as ...

Unravelling vicious circles of land use competition and food insecurity in agropastoral rangelands

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 977-995, April 2026.
Abstract In many regions of the world, the adoption of new livelihood strategies that compete with traditional strategies is one driver of competition over land, resulting in unforeseen impacts on the livelihoods of land users and accelerating land degradation. One example is the Borana Zone in southern Ethiopia, where the expansion of crop cultivation
