Optimal Seismic Design of Multiple Isolation Systems and Viscous Dampers in Vertically Irregular Frame Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 150-168, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a gradient‐based optimization framework for the preliminary seismic design of alternative isolation systems and fluid viscous dampers in vertically irregular 2D shear frames. The proposed method simultaneously optimizes the number, locations, and properties of isolation layers together with viscous damper coefficients ...

Life at the Edge (of the Sahara): Evolutionary History of Two Understudied Genera of African Gerbils

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Understanding the distribution and genetic structure of African mammals is key to reconstructing the continent's evolutionary history. While some parts of the continent (e.g., lowlands, mountain forests or savannah biomes) are now relatively well‐studied, arid regions remain underexplored despite offering unique insights into adaptation to

Hydrostatic Pressures in Lymphatic Networks of the Mouse

Microcirculation, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Current research on the lymphatic system makes nearly exclusive use of mouse models because that species is highly amenable to genetic manipulation. However, the lack of information about intraluminal hydrostatic pressures in mouse lymphatic networks limits the ability of investigators, for both in vivo and ex vivo studies, to ...

Automated Coronal Hole Detection using Local Intensity Thresholding Techniques

, 2009
We identify coronal holes using a histogram-based intensity thresholding technique and compare their properties to fast solar wind streams at three different points in the heliosphere.
