Structural capacity of precast concrete walls with openings: A parametric study on connection types and reinforcement ratios

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The structural role of precast concrete walls with openings is often overlooked in design practice due to concerns about reduced stiffness, stress concentration, cracking around openings, and potential unexpected failure modes under seismic loading.

Sensitivity study on accuracy and relevant parameters in numerical modeling of internal tendon breaks

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the numerical modeling of internal tendon breaks in prestressed concrete structures and evaluates the key parameters affecting accuracy. A combined approach is followed, involving global sensitivity analysis via the Elementary Effects Method and subsequent model calibration using experimental data from distributed fiber‐

The challenges of GFRP RC beam design for limit states

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars are used ever more frequently in concrete construction due to their non‐corrosive and anti‐magnetic properties. Their research over the past decades focused on fundamental questions, such as the design aspects of beams under flexural loads.

Geometric overdispersion facilitates the integration of ecological data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Statistical data integration facilitates inference based on the variety of data prevalent in ecology. In particular, integrated distribution models (IDMs) have been proposed for inferring spatial patterns in abundance using combinations of noisy count, presence–absence and presence–only data.

An Archaeometric Approach to Reveal Organic Compounds via GC‐MS Analyses of Two Discovered Incense Burners at Daba Al‐Bayah

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study focuses on two terracotta incense burners discovered in the Daba Al‐Bayah necropolis in the Musandam Peninsula (Oman), associated with an Iron Age collective tomb (LCG‐2). Through gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS), the organic residues preserved within these artifacts were analyzed to investigate their use and ...

LLM‐based prior elicitation for Bayesian graphical modeling

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the Bayesian graphical modeling framework, priors on network structure encode theoretical assumptions and uncertainty about the topology of psychological constructs under study. For instance, the Bernoulli prior specifies the probability of each pairwise interaction, the Beta–Bernoulli prior governs expected network density, and the ...

A posttranslational proteomic survey of a single anatomically preserved human 20‐week postconception brain

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A well‐preserved 20 post‐conception week human brain was obtained and finely dissected into 18 anatomically distinct regions, including the pia mater. Each region underwent in‐depth proteomic analysis, encompassing both total protein content and post‐translational modifications.

Consumption in Asset Returns

open access: yesThe Journal of Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using information in returns, we identify the stochastic process of consumption. We find that aggregate consumption reacts over multiple quarters to innovations spanned by financial markets. This persistent component accounts for over a quarter of consumption variation. These shocks command a large and significant risk premium, driving a large

Uncertainty quantification via polynomial chaos expansion of myocardial fibre orientation and cardiac activation patterns

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Graphical representation of methods. We implemented three biventricular geometric models (Zenger et al., 2020) with rule‐based myocardial fibre orientations (Bayer et al., 2018). We evaluated variability in the fibre orientation via four sets of parameter distributions to determine the role of the primary and imbrication angles ...

Development of Full‐Scale Experiment‐Based Seismic Fragility Functions for Code‐Compliant Fire Sprinkler Piping Systems

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Fire sprinkler systems are critical for fire safety, but their functionality can be impaired by seismic damage. This study develops new seismic fragility functions for acceleration‐sensitive damage requiring monitoring, maintenance, and repair in code‐compliant fire sprinkler piping systems, using experimental data from full‐scale experimental tests ...
