Quantification of Direct Benefits of Functional Recovery‐Based Design for Seismic Resilience

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Lessons from recent major earthquakes have shown that current life‐safety‐centered seismic design practice falls short in ensuring a desirable post‐hazard recovery. Extensive economic losses, high demolition rates, and long recovery have signified a gap between design targets and society's expectations of seismic performance of code‐compliant buildings.

Narrowing the gap between smart metering and everyday life. Comfort, cleanliness and smart metering technologies in undergraduate students’ households. [PDF]

, 2017
Smart meters measure aggregate energy consumption for an entire building. Recent literature suggests that disaggregated information describing appliance-by-appliance electricity consumption is more effective than aggregate information (Kelly et al. 2016,

Legislative Control of Rulemaking in a Dependent State: A Critical Typology From Brazil

Politics &Policy, Volume 54, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In Brazil, legislative control conditions regulatory agencies' rulemaking through substantive limits, procedural requirements, and ex post review. Drawing on legal analysis and documentary evidence, this article maps these mechanisms through a differentiated framework that combines legislative oversight scholarship, historical institutionalism,

Ecotoxicological Evaluation of Soil Irrigated With Cattle Slaughter Effluent Disinfected With Peracetic Acid Using the Bioindicators Eisenia fetida and Vibrio fischeri

CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 2, February 2026.
Cattle slaughter effluent disinfected with peracetic acid increased toxicity to E. fetida and V. fischeri and increased soil degradability. Cattle slaughter effluent did not demonstrate toxicity to V. fischeri. ABSTRACT The increasing volume of effluents generated by slaughterhouses is driving studies that seek sustainable alternatives for their reuse ...

Correlations based on mixed models as selection criteria for breeding programs targeting seed production and quality in Paspalum nicorae Parodi ecotypes

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract To achieve satisfactory genetic gains, breeding programs must identify and prioritize key traits that affect seed production and quality. This study investigated associations among traits related to seed yield and quality in 84 Paspalum nicorae ecotypes.
