Applied Element Modelling of Out‐Of‐Plane Instability in Boundary Elements of Thin RC Walls
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent earthquakes in Chile (2010) and New Zealand (2011) caused extensive damage to buildings featuring reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls, with observed failure modes including out‐of‐plane instability of slender walls. This buckling‐type response under combined in‐plane and out‐of‐plane loading has also been documented in ...

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.This paper introduces a novel resilience‐based reward‐penalty scheme (RPS) for electricity grids facing high‐impact, low‐probability (HILP) disasters. By modeling the costs of proactive asset immunization against reactive RPS penalties, our analysis conclusively demonstrates that long‐term investment in grid resilience is the more economically rational

Multifactorial Screening for Fine‐Scale Selection of CCS Industrial Clusters and Hubs in Brazil
Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As Brazil moves toward implementing its decarbonization commitments, carbon capture and storage (CCS) hubs are emerging as a key pathway for large‐scale CO2 abatement in hard‐to‐abate sectors. This paper presents a multifactorial, data‐driven framework to screen and prioritize potential CCS industrial clusters and hubs across Brazilian regions,

Cost Analysis Insights for Offshore CCS Hubs: A Case Study of the Santos Basin, Brazil
Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The reuse of decommissioned offshore platforms for geological carbon storage offers a cost‐effective and technically feasible strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in emerging economies. This study presents a comprehensive techno‐economic assessment of offshore carbon capture and storage (CCS) hubs in Brazil, with a focus on the Merluza ...

Geological Journal, EarlyView.Carbonates from Santos Basin revealed U–Pb ages correlated with basalt ages (A), suggesting that they were formed during magmatic events. These events placed hot CO2 in the reservoir, which, when mixed with carbonate‐rich cold water (B), led to thermal convection, enabling the formation of the U contained in the carbonates.

Disrupting the herd: Recreational boating alters group dispersion within beluga whale herds
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Recreational boating in beluga habitat remains poorly documented. Using land‐based observations in the Saguenay Fjord (Quebec, Canada), we show that increasing recreational boat numbers are associated with a higher probability of changes in beluga herd dispersion, suggesting behavioral disturbance and the need to integrate recreational boating into ...

A novel approach for in situ benthic habitat characterization
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Habitat heterogeneity is a key driver of temporal and spatial variability of subtidal marine benthic biodiversity. However, this makes it a challenging environment in which to measure and quantify the factors driving biodiversity in a consistent manner.

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Numerical simulation of hydraulic fracturing remains challenging due to the strong coupling between geomechanics and fluid flow when modelling multiple physical mechanisms of rock deformation, fracture evolution and fluid leak‐off. This study develops a coupled hydraulic fracture propagation framework that combines the extended finite element ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Indigenous Peoples in northern Alberta, including Dené and Cree of the Athabasca Chipewyan and Mikisew Cree First Nations (ACFN and MCFN), have been using Indigenous laws and stewardship principles to care for their homelands for thousands of years. Since ACFN and MCFN signed Treaty 8 with Canada in 1899, Alberta's land management policies and

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We propose a practical procedure to quantify the time varying influence of parameters on hazard functions for power series compounded lifetime models. The procedure combines likelihood based fitting with a two stage sensitivity analysis and applies to a range of baselines and compounding laws.
