Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents a numerical and experimental study aimed at the modeling and dynamic characterization of the reinforced concrete structure of the Palazzetto dello Sport in Rome, designed and by Pier Luigi Nervi with Annibale Vitellozzi, and built by Nervi & Bartoli contractors in 1956‐57.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract After a blossoming pre‐World War II (WWII) period, the concrete construction industry in then‐socialist Hungary existed in a relative isolation from the Western World during the mid‐20th century. In this paper, we focus on the body of work of one of the then newly established state‐owned design offices, IPARTERV, to show how the isolation ...

Incremental upper bound modeling of concrete failures in timber‐concrete notched connections
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This paper introduces a novel theoretical framework for developing incremental upper bound solutions, which is applied to predict the response of two local concrete failures in timber‐concrete composite (TCC) decks with notched connections. The new approach enables a prediction of the capacity at the onset of failure as well as the entire post‐

Monitoring GPS‐collared moose by ground versus drone approaches: efficiency and disturbance effects
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Efficient wildlife management requires precise monitoring methods, for example to estimate population density, reproductive success, and survival. Here, we compared the efficiency of drone (equipped with a RGB camera) and ground approaches to detect and observe GPS‐collared female moose Alces alces and their calves. We also quantified how drone (n = 42)

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Infectious diseases are commonly cited as significant contributors to wildlife population declines. It is, therefore, important to investigate the extent to which tools designed to mitigate the effects of infectious diseases explain wildlife responses to habitat management.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The shift to ‘close to nature forestry' as the dominating forestry regime in western‐European forests has resulted in increasing timber volume and denser forests with negative effects on photophilic species. Hence, there is an increasing focus on active habitat management measures to support these species.

Quantifying microhabitat selection of snowshoe hares using forest metrics from UAS‐based LiDAR
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Identifying the spatial and temporal scale at which animals select resources is critical for predicting how populations respond to changes in the environment. The spatial distribution of fine‐scale resources (e.g. patches of dense vegetation) are often linked with critical life‐history requirements such as denning and feeding sites.

Wildlife 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
