Concept, Tests, and Optimum Design of Novel Negative Stiffness Friction Dampers for Seismic Protection of Long‐Span Bridges

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Viscous dampers (VDs) are widely used to mitigate the excessive responses of long‐span bridges. However, VDs face some intricate challenges in engineering practices, including high damping coefficient requirement, potential base shear amplification and tremendous damping force under high velocity. To address these issues, this study develops a

Techno‐Economic and Quasi‐Dynamic Load Flow Analysis of a Hybrid Renewable Microgrid for Coastal Industrial Loads

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A hybrid PV–wind grid‐connected microgrid for Mongla Port is optimized using HOMER Pro and validated via DIgSILENT quasi‐dynamic load flow. The system achieves a low cost of energy (0.0341 USD/kWh), 70.9% renewable penetration, improved voltage stability, and significant emission reduction, demonstrating a reliable and cost‐effective solution for ...

From Empire to Aid: Analysing Persistence of Colonial Legacies in Foreign Aid to Africa

Journal of International Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For decades now, Western development agencies and donors have been castigated for their colonial biases in providing aid to Africa. It is well established that donors provide considerably more foreign aid to their former colonies relative to other countries.

17O Quadrupole Coupling Constants in Water

Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, EarlyView.
In water clusters, first‐nearest‐neighbor interactions (1A and 1D) provide the largest contribution and are well captured by an additive donor–acceptor scheme, with improved accuracy upon inclusion of hydrogen bond distance dependence. Second nearest neighbor (D and A*) effects introduce smaller but systematic negative corrections, restoring near ...

View Order With Arbitrary Center Echoes

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To provide explicit, vendor‐independent view‐order constructions that enable selection of an arbitrary center echo in multi‐shot imaging, with a focus on RARE and MPRAGE. Methods Vendor‐independent view‐order methods were developed to assign echo and shot indices to a prescribed set of phase encodes, enabling explicit selection of the ...

“When life was in the home circle” in the conditional reasonings of Fregean mad-humans and logical penalists

Слово.ру: балтийский акцент
We advocate an idea that a necessary condition for a dispute about truth amounts not to the carriers of non-ideal logical thought, but to a variety of approaches to reconstructing the logical form of conditional reasoning, which implies diversification ...

Identifying Suitable Front Contacts for High‐Efficiency Cd(Se,Te) Solar Cells on Space‐Qualified Cover Glass

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
Front contact selection governs interfacial stability in CdTe‐based (Cd(Se,Te)) solar cells on ultra‐thin space‐qualified cover glass. Optimized TCO/emitter combinations suppress interdiffusion and deliver up to 16.2% AM0 efficiency with high specific power, demonstrating strong potential for lightweight space photovoltaics.

Defeasible Reasoning in Islamic Legal Theory

Informal Logic
There is a common understanding among logicians today that nonmonotonic types of reasoning, such as defeasible or presumptive, can clearly warrant a rational acceptance of its conclusion.
