Heatwave Characteristics and Trends Across Eight Japanese Cities

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 7, 15 June 2026.
Heatwaves occur with high likelihood across Japan. Strong north–south contrasts exist in heatwave characteristics. Southern locations experience more frequent, longer, and more intense heatwaves. Since 1955 there has been an increase in heatwave frequency, duration, and cumulative heat, particularly for nocturnal heatwaves. ABSTRACT This study provides

Characteristics and Trends in Short‐Duration Heavy Rain in Wet‐Season in Hong Kong

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 7, 15 June 2026.
This study examines the characteristics of heavy rain events (hourly rainfall ≥ 30 mm) in Hong Kong from 2000 to 2024. A statistically significant increasing trend in short‐duration (1–3 h) heavy rain events (3.4 events per decade) in the wet season is observed, primarily due to other mechanisms rather than surface troughs or tropical cyclones. Notably,

Multi‐scale Optimization on Interfacial Evaporative Cooling for Photovoltaic Performance Enhancement

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 34, 19 June 2026.
This study presents a passive siphon‐driven interfacial evaporative cooling technology for photovoltaics. A multiscale multiphysics model is developed and validated experimentally. Results show that optimizing installation parameters reduces operating temperature by up to 22.3 °C and boosts power efficiency by 8.9%, offering a practical pathway for ...

Simplified Pushover Analysis of Moment Resisting Frame Structures [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Earthquake Engineering, 2021
Seismic assessment of a building will typically require consideration of its nonlinear force–displacement response. Such information can be estimated from pushover analysis, also referred to as nonlinear static analysis, in which the structure is ...

Pushover versus Incremental Dynamic Analysis

open access: yes, 2007
In the present study, an accurate comparison between results by pushover methodology for RC frame structures and Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) has been performed. Fifty artificially generated spectrum-compatible time-histories have been employed to perform incremental dynamic analyses. Different pushover procedures have been analysed: conventional

Comparative study nonlinear static pushover analysis and displacement based adaptive pushover analysis method

International Journal of Structural Engineering, 2018
A major challenge in performance-based earthquake engineering is to develop simple and practical methods for estimating the capacity level and seismic demand on structures by taking into account their inelastic behaviour instead of complicated nonlinear time history analysis.
