Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Accurate estimation of the damping ratio is critical for evaluating floor response spectra and equipment seismic demands in nuclear power plant structures. This study investigates the elastic damping ratio of reinforced concrete walls under limited damage states through shaking table tests and data‐driven modeling.

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sulphur hexafluoride has become a priority substance for greenhouse gas mitigation in electric systems. An ideal substitute should simultaneously satisfy requirements for dielectric strength, boiling point, global warming potential and chemical stability; however, these metrics are deeply coupled and mutually constraining at the molecular ...

An Arnoldi-based approach to polynomial and rational least squares problems
In this research, we solve polynomial, Sobolev polynomial, rational, and Sobolev rational least squares problems. Although the increase in the approximation degree allows us to fit the data better in attacking least squares problems, the ill-conditioning

Non‐Fundamental Loan Renegotiations
Journal of Accounting Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Prior studies predominantly examine fundamental performance‐driven explanations of loan renegotiations. We contrast with this work by investigating the improvement in secondary loan market trading conditions as a non‐fundamental driver of loan renegotiation. Exploiting a regression discontinuity design around the LSTA 100 Index reconstitution,

Asia‐Pacific Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract Recent scholarship on slave escapes has increasingly emphasised economic motivation, but few studies have empirically investigated how market incentives influenced the decision‐making of enslaved individuals during transitions from coerced to wage labour.

Formation of Business‐Nonprofit Collaborations: A Matching Approach
Business Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Business‐nonprofit collaborations are essential for addressing organizational and societal challenges, yet research has largely examined their formation from the perspective of a single partner rather than as a two‐sided process. In this study, we conceptualize collaboration formation as a dyadic matching process and examine two related ...

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Social and emotional skills (SES) are key predictors of students' academic success and well‐being, yet how these skills cluster and vary across student groups remains underexplored in non‐Western contexts. Aims This study identified distinct SES profiles among Turkish adolescents and examined which demographic characteristics and ...
