Measuring the Stringency of Building Height Regulations

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a novel methodology to measure the stringency of building height regulations. This measure gauges the difference in building heights with and without regulations. The primary challenge is to recover unobserved building heights in the absence of regulations.

Research on Key Technologies of Embedded Systems in Building Health Monitoring and Structural Safety Assessment

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
KSGVM‐Based SHM Framework. ABSTRACT Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is crucial for ensuring the safety and longevity of civil infrastructure by providing real‐time data on the condition of structures. Existing SHM systems struggle for simulating dynamic situations and intricate geometry, while using Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) and ...

Comparative Assessment and Benchmarking of Metaheuristic Algorithms for Dynamic Photovoltaic Array Reconfiguration Under Diverse Shading Environments

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 7, Page 3272-3309, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, which are essential for renewable energy systems, are vulnerable to partial shading, resulting in considerable power losses and operational inefficiencies. The dynamic reconfiguration of PV arrays has become an effective strategy to mitigate these effects by adaptively modifying the array topology to ...

Ecologization Is Not a Metaphor: Museums in the Web of Life

Curator: The Museum Journal, Volume 69, Issue 3, Page 402-412, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This article documents and critiques emerging accounts of museum “ecologization”. Drawing on political ecology, materialist theory, and contemporary museum practice, we challenge dominant frameworks of ecological modernization and advocate for a more critical understanding of museums in the web of life.
