Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2025.Urban bird communities are more colour‐diverse after accounting for species richness. We also found that bird species that do well in urban environments are less likely to be brown and exhibit more elaborate colours, but not higher sexual dichromatism. ABSTRACT Rapidly expanding urbanisation presents significant challenges to wildlife.

Modified prediction approach of strength of high strength polyolefin fiber reinforced concrete corbels [PDF]
, 2021 This paper aims to investigate the effect of polyolefin fibers on high strength reinforced concrete corbels using twelve specimens with different quantities of fibers and shear span-to-span ratios, all corbels were only tested vertically.

The Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT Precast concrete structures are recognized among the structural typologies that may mostly suffer from progressive collapse as a consequence of local unpredicted damage, also due to past accidents occurred in buildings employing old precast technologies neglecting the basic robustness criteria and characterized by poorly detailed and/or ...

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.To address the issue of excessive stress at the secondary pier–beam joints of multispan continuous sheet–pile bridges caused by large longitudinal displacements, this study proposes a novel structural configuration incorporating prestressed self‐resetting reinforcement at the pier–beam connection.

Structural seismic performance of reinforced concrete block system for two storeys safe house [PDF]
, 2016 Severe earthquakes in year 2004 had caused a destructive tsunami and killed more than 170,000 people in Aceh Indonesia. The disaster raises the public awareness and demand in safe house. This paper presented the structural failure behaviour, strength and

Structural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.The preservation of historical bridges usually requires extensive structural evaluations for possible damage detection. Therefore, effective techniques are essential for diagnosis and, consequently, proper maintenance and rehabilitation actions. The combination of techniques provides complementary data that support decision making.

Distributions of non‐native and native plants are not determined by the same environmental factors
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 5, Issue 4, October–December 2024.Distributions of non‐native plant species are driven more strongly by anthropogenic variables than distributions of native plant species, though climate is the most powerful predictor in both species groups. Species distribution models should therefore be fitted with different variables based on the study species' degree of nativeness.
