Weak‐Story Mitigation and Drift Redistribution in Moment‐Resisting Frames Using Stepping Rocking Walls

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2760-2780, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the seismic response of moment‐resisting frames retrofitted with a stepping rocking wall, with emphasis on weak‐story mitigation and residual drift reduction under both ordinary and pulse‐like ground motions. Nonlinear response‐history analyses are conducted on 9‐story and 20‐story SAC Los Angeles frames.

Advancing Circular Strategies in Photovoltaics: Assessing Reuse Readiness Across Technical, Economic, and Environmental Dimensions in a Case Study

open access: yesProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 34, Issue 9, Page 1077-1099, September 2026.
This study examines the reuse readiness of photovoltaic modules through the Swiss PV Circle project. Results confirm technical feasibility with cost savings from targeted preselection, whereas economic viability depends on module age, testing, and market conditions.

Bonds, Bounds, and Borders: Crafting Hospitality with Unauthorized Migrants in Southern France

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 528-536, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article analyzes the everyday politics of migrant hospitality in rural Southern France. Drawing on four years of fieldwork alongside benevolent residents hosting unauthorized migrants at their home or volunteering in migrant shelters, I consider how residents attempted to make up for the state's abandonment of migrant lives, the ethical ...

Modulating Hunting Atmospheres: Mud and Material Flows Beyond the Kill

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 629-639, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article argues that hunting is not a bounded event but a materially redistributed atmosphere that extends beyond the kill and across field, truck, clothing, and home. Drawing on long‐term ethnographic fieldwork with wild boar hunters in Uruguay, I show how mud, odors, blood, and bodily residues carry the sensory, affective, and material ...

Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.
