Sensitivity study on accuracy and relevant parameters in numerical modeling of internal tendon breaks

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the numerical modeling of internal tendon breaks in prestressed concrete structures and evaluates the key parameters affecting accuracy. A combined approach is followed, involving global sensitivity analysis via the Elementary Effects Method and subsequent model calibration using experimental data from distributed fiber‐

Computing the Projection on the Intersection of Linear Equality and Cardinality Constraints

open access: yesIEEE Access
In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to solve the vector projection problem under linear equality and cardinality constraints, termed the Quasi-Newton Lagrangian method. This approach employs a Lagrangian transformation to address linear equality

Superlinear Convergence of Smoothing Quasi-Newton Methods for Nonsmooth Equations

open access: yes, 1996
We study local convergence of smoothing quasi-Newton methods for solving a system of nonsmooth (nondifferentiable) equations in ! n . The feature of smoothing quasi-Newton methods is to use a smooth function to approximate the nonsmooth mapping and ...

Pre‐task Vocabulary Support Enhances Lexical Learning but Dampens Positive Emotions: Interactive Task Implementation in English‐as‐a‐Foreign‐Language Classroom

open access: yesTESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This classroom study explored the effects of vocabulary support on collocation learning and affective responses in task‐based language teaching (TBLT) among English‐as‐a‐foreign‐language (EFL) learners at a Japanese university. For this purpose, 68 EFL learners completed two interactive information‐gap tasks under either vocabulary‐support or ...

Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.

Investigating Breathing Dynamics of a 110 kV Oil‐Immersed Transformer Using Thermal‐Fluid‐Structure Interaction Modelling

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The breathing system of an oil‐immersed transformer is of vital importance for maintaining equilibrium between internal and external pressures, with any malfunction potentially disrupting the transformer's stable operation. This study develops a thermal–fluid–structure interaction (TFSI) model to simulate the breathing phenomenon in a 110 kV ...

The End of Self‐Regulation: Will the Football Governance Act 2025 Fix the National Game?

open access: yesThe Modern Law Review, EarlyView.
The Football Governance Act 2025 is a watershed. It upends the model of self‐regulation that has defined how the game has been run in England and Wales for over a century‐and‐a‐half. The newly created Independent Football Regulator will exercise control over clubs, owners, and competition organisers.
