Quantification of Direct Benefits of Functional Recovery‐Based Design for Seismic Resilience
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Lessons from recent major earthquakes have shown that current life‐safety‐centered seismic design practice falls short in ensuring a desirable post‐hazard recovery. Extensive economic losses, high demolition rates, and long recovery have signified a gap between design targets and society's expectations of seismic performance of code‐compliant buildings.

Speech and Language Markers of Bipolar Disorder: Challenges and Opportunities
Bipolar Disorders, Volume 28, Issue 5, August 2026.ABSTRACT Background Clinicians aspire to predict the emergence of Bipolar Disorder (BD) in a timely manner. To accomplish this, markers reflecting mental states that can be gathered non‐invasively and at large scale are needed. Here, we systematically evaluate evidence relating speech‐based markers to mood states in BD.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 8, Page 1655-1674, 10 July 2026.ABSTRACT This article presents a capacity‐based assessment procedure for beam–column (b–c) joints of reinforced concrete frames with floor slabs and transverse beams. The procedure extends a previously proposed assessment methodology for determining the hierarchy of strengths and the sequence of events in symmetrically reinforced planar b–c joints.

Nonlinear Response‐History Analyses of Masonry and Mixed Structures With HybriDFEM
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 8, Page 1694-1709, 10 July 2026.ABSTRACT The hybrid discrete‐finite element (HybriDFEM) method, previously developed to perform static and modal analysis in discrete and coupled discrete‐finite element models, is extended to nonlinear response‐history analyses. The equations of motion for the HybriDFEM model are solved through various numerical time‐integration schemes, both explicit
