The Influence of SSI Effect on Acceleration Response of Multi-floored Grain Warehouse [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
To investigate the influence of soil-structure interaction (SSI) on the acceleration of a multi-floored grain warehouse structure and its stored grain on soft soil foundations, a 1:16 scale model of the multi-story warehouse was designed, and shaking ...

Sustainable Materials Design With Multi‐Modal Artificial Intelligence

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Critical mineral scarcity, high embodied carbon, and persistent pollution from materials processing intensify the need for sustainable materials design. This review frames the problem as multi‐objective optimization under heterogeneous, high‐dimensional evidence and highlights multi‐modal AI as an enabling pathway.

Global-Local Seismic Performance Discrepancy in Top-Heavy Adaptive Reuse Buildings on Soft Soil

Rekayasa Sipil
Adaptive reuse of existing high-rise buildings often introduces severe vertical mass irregularities, particularly when functional changes significantly increase live loads.

Superatom Distortion Induces Triferroicity and Spin Splitting in Two‐Dimensional Antiferromagnets

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The incorporation of superatoms into a 2D square lattice induces symmetry breaking, thereby enabling concurrent coupling among magnetism, ferroelectricity, and ferroelasticity. This strategy achieves triferroic behavior—characterized by spin‐split antiferromagnetic ground states—and offers a viable pathway toward energy‐efficient spintronic devices ...

Flexoelectricity in Photoconversion: Fundamentals, Materials, and Outlooks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical bending of a flexible cantilever induces a strain gradient in the photoactive material. The resulting flexoelectric field couples with photovoltaic and photoconductive effects, modulating charge generation, separation, and collection. A comparative analysis of oxide perovskites, halide perovskites, and two‐dimensional materials is presented,

Stories of Migrant Smuggling: The Soft Power of Djiboutian Smugglers

Revue européenne des migrations internationales, 2023
This article analyses the links between the recruitment of new generations of smugglers and storytelling of the nocturnal “adventures” of former smugglers in Djibouti. Such accounts make it possible to study the imaginaries and discourses of success surrounding the figure of smuggler.

Multiferroic‐Centric Materials and Systems Engineering for Battery Applications: An Insight Into Mechanisms, Strategies, and Characterizations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses

Resolving and Controlling Silicoaluminophosphate Zeolite Intergrowths and Mixtures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Low‐dose electron microscopy enables atomic‐resolution imaging of beam‐sensitive SAPO‐34/18 intergrowths, revealing their stacking sequences and spatial distributions under controlled Si content and SDA ratio. This work establishes a methodology linking controllable synthesis with atomic‐resolution microscopy to investigate structure–property ...
