Deformation and strength of grouted sleeve connectors in pre‐fabricated concrete structures: Mechanisms and analytical modeling

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Grouted sleeve connectors (GSCs) are widely used in precast/prefabricated concrete structures. To ensure force transfer, connectors are often overdesigned in length. This practice has an unintended consequence of reducing the plastic deformation capacity of the connection region and hence the displacement ductility of the precast structure as ...

Calculating the Interconnection Limit from a Comprehensive Voltage Evaluation for Distribution Systems with Large Distributed Energy Resources

open access: yesIEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.
Japan is pursuing power source decarbonization and is thus reducing fuel‐based thermal power generation while promoting renewable energy resource use. Given the expected power fluctuations, this transition will require novel voltage management and control methods.

Passive acoustic monitoring with AI‐based detection and identification reveal sooty grouse hooting patterns in western Oregon

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Many bird species are monitored using auditory point count surveys during the breeding season. Autonomous recording units (ARUs) can be used to better understand the daily and seasonal timing of when a species is vocalizing, which can help align surveys with the time period when the maximum number of individuals are present. We used ARUs to improve our

How many shots are enough? Optimizing precision measurements when testing lead‐free ammunition

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Growing concern about lead exposure in scavenging wildlife and the consumers of game meat has increased interest in evaluating the performance of lead‐free rifle ammunition. Testing both accuracy and precision helps ensure reliable shot placement while reducing the risk of non‐fatal woundings.

High nitrogen loading impacts the temperature‐size rule and heat tolerance in a nettle‐feeding butterfly

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Host‐plant quality and ambient temperature are key environmental drivers of herbivorous insect performance, affecting growth, development, and survival. While temperature accelerates physiological processes in ectothermic insects, nutrient limitation in host plants can ...
