Behavior of exterior beam‐column joint reinforced with shape memory alloy

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Beam‐column joints are critical regions in moment‐resisting frames and are particularly susceptible to severe stress concentrations and reinforcement congestion. Conventional design typically relies on dense transverse reinforcement to improve joint performance, resulting in construction difficulties and reinforcement congestion.

Damping ratio of reinforced concrete walls under limited damage from shaking table test and data‐driven modeling

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.

Accelerating Mission Engineering: Evidence of a Stratified Landscape and a Path Toward Unified Practice

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mission Engineering is maturing as a Systems Engineering discipline, yet adoption of its common frameworks remains stratified. This study examines whether selective adoption is observable across ME scholarship and develops a framework to address identified barriers.

Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning are driven by resource quality and contamination

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships are increasingly explained by species' traits and resource quality differences rather than richness alone, yet cross‐trophic effects and environmental context remain poorly resolved.

The Forthcoming General Election in the Republic of Ireland: Winds of (Left‐Wing) Change or Plus Ça Change?

The Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 180-188, January/March 2025.
Abstract The forthcoming general election will be the most consequential electoral contest for the Republic of Ireland in a century. The polity is situated in truly novel territory with the potential for an historic first: the incoming of a Sinn Féin‐led, left‐wing government.
