International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding the dynamic behavior of structural components is crucial for optimizing performance and ensuring structural integrity. This study presents a new method that combines a systematic experimental investigation of four distinct hole geometries (circular, square, compact rectangular, and long rectangular) with varying hole counts, all ...

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Geometrically nonlinear static analysis of materially imperfect composite doubly curved shells is investigated via the generalised differential quadrature method. The effects of both shear and thickness deformation are considered through a thickness‐ and shear‐deformable third‐order theory formulated in curvilinear coordinates, while the ...

On the Convergence of Ritz-Galerkin's Method
Publications of the Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences, 1968 where D is a bounded domain in the (#, jO -plane, P is the boundary of D, and 0), &(:>0), c(>0), / are smooth functions defined on D. In Ritz-Galerkin's method, first we choose a system of linearly independent functions {^J such that they satisfy the given homogeneous boundary condition and they are dense in a function space containing the exact ...

Righting Past Wrongs Through Restorative Justice: Managerial Motivations for Collaboration
Nonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nonprofits are crucial to state collaborations as their embedded nature in communities allows them to gain the trust necessary to facilitate change and enhance strengths. As nonprofits collaborate with the public sector to tackle systemic challenges, understanding managerial motivations for collaboration and implications for social change is ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.As climate change alters seasonal patterns, temperate tree populations face a growing risk of phenological mismatch, where seed dispersal and germination no longer align with favourable conditions for survival. This study predicted how warming by the end of the century will affect seed dormancy breaking and germination in populations of three UK tree ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Earth's ecosystems are experiencing wide‐ranging impacts from global climate change, including increased average and extreme temperatures. These temperature shifts can drastically affect plant physiology, threatening the future of even common plant species. Here, we focus on photosynthetic function in a native Southern California shrub species.

Information Dynamics and Learning in Complex Adaptive Systems: Toward a Transdisciplinary Framework
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article develops a framework for understanding learning and adaptation in complex adaptive systems. Drawing from neuroscience, systems theory, information theory and quantum field theory, it examines how information processing, plasticity and systemic coherence emerge from distributed, nonlinear and feedback‐driven interactions. It argues

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The association between pesticide exposure and Parkinson's disease (PD) is substantial, but heterogeneity in methodology and lack of categorization according to the type of exposure and pesticide classes in previous meta‐analyses impair the interpretation of data. This study aims to update evidence of the association between pesticide exposure

On the Stability of the Ritz-Galerkin Method for Hammerstein Equations [PDF]
Mathematics of Computation, 1975 For the numerical treatment of Hammerstein equations by variational methods which has been considered by Hertling, we establish the stability in the sense of Mikhlin, Stetter and Tucker.

Gut microbiota dysbiosis and Long COVID susceptibility in chronic kidney disease
VIEW, EarlyView.This study investigated gut microbiota dysbiosis and its association with Long COVID susceptibility in 224 hemodialysis patients. We found that 35.3% of patients developed Long COVID, characterized by neurological symptoms and elevated inflammatory markers, accompanied by significant gut microbiota alterations including enriched proinflammatory taxa ...
