Comparison of Seismic Performance Assessment Using Observed or Simulated Ground Motions in Seismic Hazard Analysis and Ground Motion Selection

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 10, Page 2449-2465, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper illustrates opportunities for the use of simulated ground motions in seismic performance assessment – from seismic hazard, ground‐motion selection, response history analysis, and seismic demand hazard calculation. The illustration is through a comparative analysis with the conventional alternative of observed ground motions.

Quantifying Multidimensional Effects in Linear Site Response Using 1D and 2D Simulations of Sedimentary Basins in Wellington, New Zealand

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
This study quantifies the influence of multidimensional effects on site response in the Wellington region of New Zealand by comparing results from different simulation approaches. Response‐spectral amplification functions from 1D and 2D site response analyses are compared to quantify the magnitude and spatial distribution of multidimensional effects ...

Inter‐Theta‐Gram Spectroscopy: A General Super‐Spectral‐Resolution Scattering Method Demonstrated on Diamond

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 57, Issue 8, Page 1359-1366, August 2026.
Inter‐Theta‐Gram spectroscopy enables super‐spectral‐resolution Raman analysis by jointly reconstructing the excitation laser line and Raman peak during an etalon angle scan, yielding internally referenced Raman shifts. Demonstrated on lab‐grown versus natural diamond, it resolves 0.1–0.2 cm−1 Raman‐shift offsets that are invisible in conventional ...

A physics primer on photon‐counting detectors in CT: Physics, signal formation, and performance

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Photon‐counting detector CT (PCD‐CT) is moving from laboratory development to clinical deployment. However, its threshold‐bin data arise from a tightly coupled detector–readout chain that can be difficult to understand as a whole. These data are not a direct readout of photon energy, but the outcome of a sequence of physical and electronic ...

Adaptive Sliding Mode Control Design for Interval Type‐2 T–S Fuzzy Systems With Time Delay: An Event‐Triggered Approach

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, Volume 36, Issue 12, Page 6047-6067, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In this work, a new event‐triggered adaptive first‐order sliding mode control method is proposed for nonlinear systems with constant time delays, modeled by interval type‐2 Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy systems. To handle matched disturbances with unknown upper bounds, a non‐overestimating adaptation strategy for the control coefficient is ...

On the Generation of Pre‐Sunrise Equatorial Plasma Bubbles in Southeast Asia During the Geomagnetic Storm of May 2024

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract A set of fresh Equatorial Plasma Bubbles (EPBs) formed during pre‐sunrise hours in the Southeast Asian sector amid the recovery phase of May 2024 geomagnetic storm. They offered new insights into their formation mechanism. This study used Total Electron Content (TEC) and Rate of TEC Index maps over Indonesia, along with ionosondes in Thailand ...

Multi‐Scale Spatial Variations in Pacific Mantle Seismic Anisotropy: Constraints on Plate Evolution and Asthenospheric Flow

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present array‐scale (∼500 × 500 km) anisotropic shear‐velocity models from two Pacific ocean‐bottom seismometer (OBS) arrays of the OBS Research in the Convecting Asthenosphere (ORCA) experiment: Young ORCA (∼43 Ma) and Old ORCA (∼90 Ma). Rayleigh‐wave phase velocities spanning 5–150 s are combined with Love‐wave phase velocities from 5 to ...

Learning Vertical Coordinates via Automatic Differentiation of a Dynamical Core

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Terrain‐following coordinates in atmospheric models often imprint their grid structure onto the solution, particularly over steep topography, where distorted coordinate layers can generate spurious horizontal and vertical motion. Standard formulations, such as hybrid or SLEVE coordinates, mitigate these errors by using analytic decay functions
