Design and Numerical Investigation of Novel Self-Centering Precast Concrete Beam-Column Joints with Replaceable Damage-Controllable Hinges

International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials
To minimize the seismic damage to the beam-column joint and facilitate post-earthquake repair, an innovative precast concrete (PC) beam-column joint (SCPJ) with self-centering and damage-controllable capacities was proposed.

Artificial Intelligence and Mental Well‐Being in Adult Education: Implications for Practice and Professional Responsibility

New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mental well‐being is central to adult learner success, yet many adult education institutions lack capacity to provide timely and accessible support. This article examines how artificial intelligence (AI) can strengthen mental health–adjacent supports in adult and continuing higher education, with attention to professional practice and ...

Resilient self-centering viscous-based bracing with SMA and friction springs: Multi-objective control of displacement and acceleration – an analytical study

Resilient Cities and Structures
Self-Centering Piston-Based Braced Frames (SC-PBBFs) are designed to curtail structural damage under severe ground motions. The self-centering mechanism in this bracing mitigates structural damage during an earthquake, thereby reducing post-earthquake ...

Remote Assessment of Ataxia Severity in SCA3 Across Multiple Centers and Time Points

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a genetically defined ataxia. The Scale for Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) is a clinician‐reported outcome that measures ataxia severity at a single time point. In its standard application, SARA fails to capture short‐term fluctuations, limiting its sensitivity in trials.
