Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Several test methods have been proposed in the literature for measuring the level of residual prestress, most of them involving either semi‐ or fully destructive techniques for local measurements which could be highly sensitive to boundary conditions and execution details.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Reducing embodied carbon emissions in structural design is of critical importance in combating global climate change. However, the increased material usage and heavy confinement reinforcement required to meet high ductility demands in reinforced concrete columns directly conflict with environmental sustainability goals.

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.

Why wolves walk – drivers of daily movement in a social large carnivore
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Animal movement patterns are influenced by a range of extrinsic and intrinsic factors, including the distribution of resources, human disturbance, landscape connectivity, species interactions, and individual traits. We examined factors associated with daily movement distance (DMD) and linearity in 20 territorial Scandinavian wolves Canis lupus during ...

Playing with fire: Wolf response to active wildfires, fire fronts and smoke
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study is one of the first, to our knowledge, to explicitly examine fine‐scale behavioural responses of a large carnivore to actively burning wildfires, fire fronts and smoke. The study found that wolves balanced the potential risks and benefits associated with wildfires, with implications for predator–prey dynamics in fire‐prone regions.

The Multilevel Implications of a Sinn Féin Government in Ireland
The Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 173-179, January/March 2025.Abstract The electoral growth of Sinn Féin on both sides of the Irish border has generated much political and academic attention in recent years. The party could form part of the government in Dublin for the first time at the next Irish general election, though that outcome is far from certain.

The Newest Federalism and Population Health
The Milbank Quarterly, EarlyView.Policy Points In the United States, social policies at the federal, state, and local levels affect population health. The country is undergoing major changes in its social policies and intergovernmental relations. As both state and local governments have taken different approaches to social policies, where one resides and the socioeconomic resources ...
