Variability and origin of seismic anisotropy across eastern Canada: Evidence from shear wave splitting measurements

, 2015
Measurements of seismic anisotropy in continental regions are frequently interpreted with respect to past tectonic processes, preserved in the lithosphere as “fossil” fabrics.

Thermal‐induced fracture evolution and acoustic signature of Beishan granite: Insights into tensile strength of barrier system for high‐level radioactive waste disposal

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The tensile strength of granite, a proposed host for nuclear waste, degrades severely above 400°C. We link this to specific microcracking patterns captured by acoustic emission, establishing a scientific basis for assessing repository safety under thermal load.

Regulation of Oxygen Vacancies in High Entropy Oxides With Multi‐Layer Eggshell Architectural Framework for Boosting the Electrochemical Performance of Supercapacitors

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
An oxygen vacancy–rich FeZnCuCoNi high‐entropy oxide was constructed using a dual‐defect engineering strategy. This multi‐layer eggshell‐structured material delivers remarkable electrochemical performance, with high specific capacitance, excellent rate capability, and long‐term cycling stability even after 10 000 cycles.

A Multivariate Mixed‐Effects Regression Framework for Ground Motion Modeling: Integrating Parametric and Machine Learning Approaches

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multivariate ground motion models (GMMs) that capture the correlation between different intensity measures (IMs) are essential for seismic risk assessment. Conventional GMMs are often developed using a two‐stage approach, where separate univariate models with predefined functional forms are fitted first, and correlation is addressed in a ...

Study on Damage Characteristics and Evolution Law of Macro‐Meso Structure of Surrounding Rock Under Mining Stress

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Investigating the differential impact of mining stress on roadways, we find that in horizontally stressed environments, the inner surrounding rock exhibits more pronounced macro‐meso damage compared to the outer side. ABSTRACT The control of surrounding rocks in dynamic pressure roadways has consistently been one of the challenging predicaments in the ...

Coupled Fluid–Structure–Acoustic Analysis of Flow‐Induced Noise Control Using an Elastic Baffle in a Micro Channel

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This research explores how fluid flow, structural movement, and sound interact in an elastic baffle system. Using a numerical approach based on the finite element method, the study analyzes how noise and vibrations change with different baffle configurations. The findings reveal that shortening the baffle by half reduces noise transmission by 9%, while

Transcriptomic signatures reveal systemic adaptations and immune modulation in response to training and competitive racing in horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The molecular mechanisms underlying adaptation to physical exertion and racing stress in horses remain incompletely understood. Peripheral blood transcriptomics offers a minimally invasive method to monitor systemic responses to exercise and identify biomarkers of adaptation or overload. Objectives To evaluate transcriptomic changes
