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 ...

Quantification of Direct Benefits of Functional Recovery‐Based Design for Seismic Resilience
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Lessons from recent major earthquakes have shown that current life‐safety‐centered seismic design practice falls short in ensuring a desirable post‐hazard recovery. Extensive economic losses, high demolition rates, and long recovery have signified a gap between design targets and society's expectations of seismic performance of code‐compliant buildings.

Development of Liquefaction‐Targeted Design Basis in U.S. Seismic Provisions
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Seismic design criteria for new buildings in the United States have historically focused on life safety performance objectives through minimizing the potential for structural collapse. Development of design criteria to meet this performance objective has evolved over time, leading to the current, risk‐targeted maximum considered earthquake (MCER ...

Levetiracetam inhibits the Na+ HCO3− transporter Ncbe/NBCn2 (Slc4a10) in the choroid plexus of mice
Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Aim The Na+‐dependent Cl−/HCO3− exchanger Ncbe/NBCn2 (Slc4a10) constitutes a major basolateral HCO3− uptake pathway in the choroid plexus and contributes to cerebrospinal fluid secretion and pH regulation. This study examined whether levetiracetam inhibits Ncbe/NBCn2‐mediated transport and alters cerebrospinal fluid acid–base balance ...

The Economic History Review, Volume 79, Issue 3, Page 1235-1264, August 2026.Abstract We develop new datasets of monthly grain prices in 14 urban markets and of the storage and marketing of grain by 5 rural estates located in western Germany between the late seventeenth century and c. 1860. We explore whether observed patterns of monthly prices, sales, and storage of grain are consistent with the rational competitive storage ...

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2237-2247, August 2026.Hummingbird pollination is a hallmark of American plant diversity and has long been thought to evolve in tropical mountains due to declining bee activity. Using sister species of Costus specialized on bees (C. kuntzei) and hummingbirds (C. wilsonii), we show that this shift is not driven by reduced bee visitation with elevation, but by greater ...
