Dragonfly functional connectivity responses are dynamic relative to drought
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.During drought, dragonfly species richness decreases. Yet, dragonfly assemblages show a higher propensity for dispersal during drought. Dispersal pathways vary among the wet and dry periods, and relative to temporal changes in the landscape. While some dragonfly species can traverse plantation compartments, conservation corridors facilitate functional ...

A Tale of Two Conditions: 50 Years of Chronic Illness and Cancer From a Nursing Perspective
Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction In this commentary, I consider the disparity between the care we see as a necessity for cancer patients and the lack of care we afford to many persons with chronic disease. Background I ground my arguments in my own clinical practice and research experiences over a 50‐year period augmented by reference to available literature ...

Risk of sloshing in the primary system of a lead cooled fast reactor
, 2014 Pool-type designs of Lead-cooled Fast Reactor (LFR) aim for commercial viability by simplified engineering solutions and passive safety systems. However, such designs carry the risks related to heavy coolant sloshing in case of seismic event.

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Fire sprinkler systems are critical for fire safety, but their functionality can be impaired by seismic damage. This study develops new seismic fragility functions for acceleration‐sensitive damage requiring monitoring, maintenance, and repair in code‐compliant fire sprinkler piping systems, using experimental data from full‐scale experimental tests ...

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.
