Is Time Travel Possible? Accidental Signs as Sociolinguistic “Wormholes”

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sociolinguistics primarily focuses on deliberately staged public signs, while relatively less attention has been given to ephemeral and non‐deliberate signs in urban environments. This study investigates “ accidental signs,” which are hidden historical texts suddenly exposed by unpredictable events.

The influence of earthquake vertical component on the seismic response of masonry structures

Engineering structures, 2019
The seismic behaviour of masonry structures is, as well-known, strongly influenced by axial stresses. During a seismic event, variations in axial loading cause in fact a change, that can be substantial, in the response in the lateral resistance capacity ...

The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2837-2854, September 2026.
ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

Effect of unbonded prestressing steel in terms of serviceability

Civil and Environmental Engineering
One of the methods of strengthening bridges is strengthening using unbonded post-tensioned prestressing steel e.g. strands type monostrand. The individual strands, protected with grease and HDPE coating, are routed polygonally.

Repeatability and Parasitic Out‐of‐Plane Motion in Controlled Rocking Structures With Cylindrical Columns: Results From Triaxial Shake Table Tests

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2930-2947, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Self‐centering rocking structures outperform conventional ones since they show zero post‐earthquake damage and excellent recentering; however, their applications remain limited due to concerns that rocking is extremely sensitive and nonrepeatable. This paper investigates the repeatability and parasitic out‐of‐plane motion of controlled rocking

Wind Turbine Blade Crack Detection and Assessment in Images Using Machine Learning

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT As the wind energy industry matures, inspection of wind turbine blades (WTBs) is shifting from a manual process involving rope access and grading of damage, towards unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photography and artificial intelligence‐aided processing of data.
