Current Protections and Future Threats to Say's Spiketail Habitat in the Southeastern USA
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Dragonflies and damselflies are important indicators of ecological integrity and environmental quality but remain underrepresented in conservation efforts, in part due to a lack of quantitative information regarding their habitat requirements. Species distribution models (SDMs) can facilitate conservation planning by allowing researchers to estimate ...

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.Technical approach of the article. ABSTRACT This study focuses primarily on concrete curved girder‐type bridges, which are commonly used for urban roads and highways. Over the last two decades, practical experience in bridge engineering has shown that these bridges have unique mechanical and damage characteristics, unlike conventional straight bridges.

Generalised Kinematic Single‐Impact and Multi‐Impact Models for Rocking Structures
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1179-1202, May 2026.ABSTRACT The rocking motion is fundamental in earthquake engineering, as it reflects the dynamic behaviour of many structural systems. However, simulating the impacts during rocking motion remains a challenging topic, as they occur in a very short time, generate high impulsive forces, cause sudden changes in velocities and result in rapid energy losses.
