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

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 804-810, August 2026.
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 ...

Nonlinear Response‐History Analyses of Masonry and Mixed Structures With HybriDFEM

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 8, Page 1694-1709, 10 July 2026.
ABSTRACT The hybrid discrete‐finite element (HybriDFEM) method, previously developed to perform static and modal analysis in discrete and coupled discrete‐finite element models, is extended to nonlinear response‐history analyses. The equations of motion for the HybriDFEM model are solved through various numerical time‐integration schemes, both explicit

FEA for masonry structures and vibration-based model updating using NOSA-ITACA [PDF]

, 2018
NOSA-ITACA is a finite-element code developed by the Mechanics of Materials and Structures Laboratory of ISTI-CNR for the structural analysis of masonry constructions of historical interest via the constitutive equation of masonry-like materials.

Surface complexity and gastropod exclusion drive colonization of an intertidal eco‐engineered structure

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Habitat complexity and grazing by invertebrate molluscs shaped community structure and ecosystem functioning on eco‐engineered substrates through distinct mechanisms. Increasing structural complexity increased invertebrate species richness with limited effects on macroalgae and carbon flux, while grazer exclusion had strong effects on macroalgal ...

Structural safety assessment and strengthening methods for masonry towers

Case Studies in Construction Materials
This paper focuses on masonry towers, a broad term encompassing various types of tall masonry structures. Their structural analysis remains an underexplored area in the literature, and consequently, is inadequately addressed by codes, standards, and ...

Sustainable Glass Foams From Recycled Glass and Rice Husk Ash: Thermal Insulation Performance for Ceiling Applications

International Journal of Applied Glass Science, Volume 17, Issue 3, July 2026.
Glass foams were produced using recycled glass and rice husk ash as raw materials. After deep characterization, miniature masonry model tests demonstrated effective thermal insulation when applied as a ceiling lining. The study validates the technical and environmental feasibility of glass foams for sustainable insulating materials in building ...

Seismic performance of masonry-infilled RC frames [PDF]

Urbanism. Arhitectura. Constructii, 2016
The masonry infill of RC frames structures is generally considered as non-structural. The design of the concrete frames is often made by ignoring the influence of the masonry infill, which is only accounted for its mass.

When City Meets Village: A Rhythmanalysis of Lifestyle Migrants’ Everyday Life in Gallipoli, Turkey

Sociologia Ruralis, Volume 66, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines how urban migrants in Turkey's North Aegean Gallipoli Peninsula recompose everyday life and how subtle rural transformations become legible through rhythmic negotiation. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in 2023, we use Lefebvre's rhythmanalysis—together with Ingold's notion of the taskscape—to analyse how time ...
