Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1292-1312, May 2026.ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 7, 14 April 2026.Thiocracking, the one‐pot reaction of elemental sulfur with printed circuit board waste, converts unrecyclable laminates into high‐sulfur composites. The most practical material prepared herein combines cement‐like strength with 100% strength retention after 10 melt–recast cycles, low thermal conductivity (0.37 W m−1 K−1), and antimicrobial efficacy ...

Disease Refuge or Ecological Trap: Location‐Specific Performance of Amphibian Hotspot Shelters
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Artificial hotspot shelters, which provide sun‐heated retreats, can help frogs clear infections from the amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) by creating warm microhabitats unsuitable for the pathogen. We monitored shelter temperatures at two Australian sites and found they reached therapeutic levels far more often in Sydney than ...

Finite Element Modeling of a Thermoplastic Polyurethane Ball for Rolling Seismic Isolation
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 926-946, 10 April 2026.ABSTRACT The Elastomeric‐Ball Pendulum (EBP) system, which consists of an elastomeric ball rolling on a spherical concrete surface, has been proposed as an isolation system for lightweight structures. Experimental tests have shown that the mechanics of such a rolling ball are remarkably complicated because the vertical load changes the shape of the ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.Collectively, these findings indicate that agri‐environment schemes aiming to support solitary bees should integrate the provision of nesting resources with proximity to floral resources. The heterogeneity among studies highlights the need for solitary bee conservation measures to be tailored to local conditions and to the local fauna.
