Investigation on tunnel stability considering pipe‐roof support with transparent soil technology

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study integrates transparent soil technology, 3D reconstruction and numerical simulation to captures the full‐field deformation of shield tunnel instability. Results demonstrate that pipe‐roof support enhances stability via the “soil‐arching barrier effect,” effectively restraining failure wedge development by extending stress transfer paths ...

From Ship to Shore: A Review of Vessel‐To‐Grid Bidirectional Charging for Sustainable Maritime Transport

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
As maritime transport electrifies, bidirectional charging (V2G) offers a dual‐purpose solution for energy resilience and economic viability. This work identifies key technological advancements and lifecycle challenges utilizing practical case studies to demonstrate how V2G systems can drive decarbonization and grid stability in the marine sector ...

Cation Distribution in Li2CaSiO4:Gd, Pr, Na Uncovered Through Anomalous Diffraction

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Li2CaSiO4 co‐doped with Gd3+ and Pr3+ shows strong blue‐to‐UV‐B up‐conversion. Herein, we explore the doping element distribution in order to discern the reason for the strongly supportive co‐doping effect using high‐resolution Rietveld refinement and multiple‐edge anomalous dispersion measurements.

Keeping their powder dry: Purity, pollution, and handgun ownership among Jewish women in Israel

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the gendered practices through which Jewish women in Israel experience and negotiate personal handgun ownership in everyday life. Drawing on interviews, participant observation in gun‐related spaces, and analysis of women‐only online forums, we explore the expanding participation of Jewish women in civilian gun ownership,

Aftasten/Tantear: A sensorial, coalitional wayfinding among Muslim runners

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Muslim recreational runners in Muslim‐minority settings that take up running as their preferred form of leisure indicate that they feel they have to navigate a sense of exclusion when running outdoors. This article explores the process of exploration and sensing in public, represented by the Dutch verb aftasten, to investigate the way Muslim ...

Effects of transition curves on sight distances

, 2015
This paper presents an ongoing study on the effects of introducing transition curves into an existing road alignment on safety in terms of sight distances and design consistency conditions. Transition curves were firstly adopted in geometric design of railways in order to introduce circular curve naturally and the centrifugal force associated with it ...

Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

‘Pre‐Technologies’ and the Lifeworld: Assistive Technologies as ‘Pre‐Technologies’ for Self‐Formation as Freedom

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article identifies assistive technologies (ATs) as ‘pre‐technologies’ mediating access to other technologies for disabled subjects (DSs). The motivation is to show that without ATs, DSs cannot be said to have the same level of access to freedom and self‐forming activities as able‐bodied subjects.

The Relevance of Apology to Reparations for Historical Injustice

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explains the centrality of apology to an adequate account of reparations. I look in depth at what goes on in apology. As I have previously argued, apology is an expressive action through which we seek to mark adequately the significance of our own wrongdoing. I claim that apology so understood is not merely ornamental.
