Finite Element Modelling of Rocking and Hybrid Precast Walls under Seismic Loading

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 9, Page 1924-1941, 25 July 2026.
ABSTRACT In recent years, self‐centring systems have received considerable research interest in the seismic design of precast concrete structures for their ability to limit damage and satisfy resilience requirements. Rocking and hybrid structural walls, characterised by the formation of a single gap at the wall–foundation interface, mitigate damage by ...

Undifferenced Integer Ambiguity Resolution in GNSS Network Solutions: Benefits to Satellite Orbits, ERP, Geocenter, and Station Coordinates

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Integer ambiguity resolution (IAR) is critical in high‐precision Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) data processing. While the legacy double‐differenced (DD) IAR is widely adopted by most analysis centers (ACs) of the International GNSS Service, undifferenced (UD) IAR is gaining popularity for global network solutions.

Contemporary disasters may not kill more women than men: an empirical inquiry into sex‐differentiated fatalities in the twenty‐first century

Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the claim that women are disproportionately more likely to die in disasters by reviewing existing data sources and compiling new datasets on sex‐differentiated disaster fatalities in the twenty‐first century. The analysis is structured by disaster type, covering geophysical, meteorological, climatological, hydrological,

A Territorial-Configurational Index to evaluate seismic spatial vulnerability in urban-regional settings

Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, landslides, and floods, continue to pose significant threats to the urban society, resulting in human casualties, structural damage and economic losses. The impact of these extreme events is exacerbated by urbanization, infrastructural development and populational growth, emphasizing the demands for effective ...

Baleen Whale Occurrence in the Waters Off Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. From 2001 to 2019

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Eighteen years of visual survey and strandings data were used to describe baleen whale occurrence along the continental shelf of Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. This region experiences heavy anthropogenic use, which poses risks for mortality and injury to baleen whales. Between 2001 and 2019, six species of baleen whales were recorded, and

Habitat Suitability for a Unique, Fully Marine American Manatee (Trichechus manatus) Population Primarily Depends on Presence of Submarine Freshwater Springs

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The American manatee (Trichechus manatus) requires freshwater mainly from rivers and springs to maintain osmoregulatory balance in saline environments. However, in Brazil's semi‐arid Potiguar Basin, manatees now rely solely on submarine freshwater springs because hypersaline estuaries have become unsuitable sources of freshwater.

Applying the Bow Tie Method to Evaluate Emerging Risk: The Case of Carbon Capture and Water Stress

Risk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Emerging environmental risks are often shaped not by a lack of knowledge alone, but by fragmented information across systems, disciplines, and levels of governance. This fragmentation limits the ability of local decision‐makers to identify and respond effectively to rapidly developing technologies.

Serious mental illness and cancer: A call to action for equitable care

CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, Volume 76, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Cancer advances are not distributed equitably among many segments of the population. Specifically, individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) face compounded disparities in cancer detection, treatment, and survival. SMI, characterized by conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and severe major depression, is associated with ...
