A Performance‐Based Earthquake Fatality Modeling Framework Using Collapse Volume Ratios

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
Conventional earthquake fatality models are commonly implemented using a binary representation of building collapse, an assumption that overlooks severe failure modes and systematically underestimates fatalities. To address this limitation, this study advances the collapse volume ratio—a continuous metric quantifying the reduction of survivable space ...

Validation of Physics‐Based Simulated Accelerograms for Seismic Fragility Analyses of Italian RC Existing Building Types

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This article aims at exploring and validating the use of 3D physics‐based simulated ground motions as seismic input for the derivation of seismic fragility curves based on nonlinear dynamic numerical analyses. Fragility curves are computed for a set of pre‐code (i.e., designed only for vertical loads), reinforced concrete building types representative ...

Essential and toxic elements intake from botanical extracts: a probabilistic risk–benefit evaluation within the Italian dietary context

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 7, Page 4060-4072, May 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Botanical extracts are widely consumed for their claimed health benefits, yet their safety profile with respect to chronic consumption remains poorly characterized. Understanding the potential health risks associated with their inorganic content is a crucial issue for ensuring safe use, along with a characterization of the ...

Wafer‐Scale Self‐Limiting Epitaxy of Bernal‐Stacked Single‐Crystal Boron Nitride

Small, Volume 22, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
Wafer‐scale, single‐crystal Bernal‐stacked boron nitride (bBN) bilayers are grown by flow‐modulated MOCVD, where monoatomic Ni step edges on Ni(111) deterministically direct AB stacking. As an ultrathin interlayer, bBN suppresses interfacial scattering and enables robust, nonvolatile polarization switching in MoS2 channels, offering a scalable platform

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).

Environmental drivers of metapopulation dynamics throughout the full annual cycle in a declining Arctic‐nesting migratory herbivore

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 5, Page 865-881, May 2026.
We provide a framework for extending commonly used integrated population models to a metapopulation framework for testing novel ecological hypotheses about how changing environmental conditions within and among subpopulations drive changes in animal abundance.
