Enhancing the Seismic Resilience of Masonry‐Infilled RC Structures Using Rubber Joints: Full‐Scale 3D Shaking Table Tests

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Masonry infills in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are highly vulnerable to seismic damage, often sustaining severe cracking even under moderate ground motion, which in turn leads to considerable economic losses and safety risks. To address this issue, this study experimentally evaluates the effectiveness of two innovative rubber‐based joints ...

A Parametric Computational Framework for Modeling and Seismic Design of Post‐Tensioned Mass Timber Rocking Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber (PT‐CLT) rocking walls offer a compelling seismic system combining self‐centering behavior with energy dissipation. However, progress in their performance assessment and design has been limited by the lack of a comprehensive parametric modeling tool, as exists for steel or reinforced concrete systems. This

Structural Effects of Vertical Non‐Skeletal Elements (NSEs) With Rocking Mechanisms

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces the structural effects provided by vertical non‐skeletal elements (NSEs), such as claddings and partitions, with vertical slotted holes at their supports to enable rocking as the frame undergoes significant lateral deformation.

Numerical Simulations of 5‐Story Building Using Wood Light‐Frame Shear Walls and Post‐Tensioned Cross‐Laminated Timber Rocking Wall Dual Systems

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores the seismic performance of a five‐story prototype building using different configurations of a dual lateral force‐resisting system (LFRS) combining post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber rocking walls (PT‐CLT‐RW) with conventional wood light‐frame shear walls (LiFS).

From Lived Experience to Digital Advocacy: Eating Disorder Recovery Content Creation on Social Media

European Eating Disorders Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Despite the importance of incorporating individuals with lived experience in the collaborative development and delivery of eating disorder (ED) services, a paucity of research has addressed the role of content creators with lived experience within the context of social media in contributing to help‐seeking and recovery spaces.

Glazing Effects on Dynamic‐Insulation TSC Façades: A CFD‐Supported Experimental Study of Flow, Heat Transfer, and Ventilation Preheating

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Glazed transpired solar collectors achieve 48–75% efficiency and 11% more seasonal heat than unglazed designs by cutting convective losses, while both offer complementary benefits for ventilation preheating and dynamic wall insulation, with paybacks of 5.5–6.8 years.

An Experimental Investigation on the Impact of Burner Height and Location on the Characteristics of Externally Venting Flames

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire sources in actual compartment fires exhibit a predominantly uneven spatial distribution. In this context, the impact of the height and location of the fire source, as well as the heat release rate (HRR) of the fire, on the thermal characteristics of Externally Venting Flames (EVF) is experimentally investigated.

Quick-assembly units in steel frames of multi-storey buildings

Vestnik MGSU
Introduction. In the conditions of steel construction development, it is relevant to create a nomenclature of standard unified products, assemblies and parts of steel frames, which will allow engineers to create projects of modern prefabricated buildings with less labour costs, and builders to implement them quickly and efficiently.

Liquid biopsy across cancers: Integrating circulating biomarkers, tumor biology, artificial intelligence, and clinical translation

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Liquid biopsy uses non‐invasive sampling of blood or body fluids to isolate circulating analytes, including circulating tumor DNA, circulating tumor cells, extracellular vesicles, and RNA. These are analyzed using next‐generation sequencing, qPCR, and proteomics to inform cancer detection, monitoring, and characterization. Figure created with BioRender.
