Using Cultural Theory to Specify the Policy Actors, Belief Systems, and Sources of Coalition, Conflict, Stability, and Change in Policy Advocacy Coalitions and Environmental Resource Policies

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We use grid‐group cultural theory (CT) to specify underspecified aspects of the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF). Our theoretical synthesis of CT and the ACF provides, first, an exhaustive typology of policy actors and their cultural cognitive biases that entail, guide, and constrain policy core beliefs about problem definitions and ...

Seismic Performance and Generalized Damage Risk of Modular Cross Laminated Timber Houses Across Ten United States Cities

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 687-703, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Housing shortages in the United States and the pursuit of sustainable and resilient communities have positioned cross‐laminated timber (CLT) housing as a promising alternative due to the ability to design for modularity, ease of construction, and low embodied carbon performance.

Conserving Large Old Trees in Guangxi, South China: Diversity, Distribution, and Preservation Strategies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study comprehensively analyzes the diversity and distribution of over 500 year old large old trees (LOTs) in Guangxi, China, identifying 2630 LOTs from 149 species with a notable latitudinal gradient in richness. Tree vitality was found to be highest in rural and natural habitats like villages and scenic spots, compared to residential areas.

Synchronous and Asynchronous Variation of Taxonomic and Phylogenetic Diversity During the Succession of Pinus kesiya var. langbianensis Forest in Yunnan, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Based on community data and the space‐for‐time‐substitution (SFTS) approach, this study shows that both taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity follow a cosine pattern during succession, with PD peaking earlier than TD. Community stability increases as niche differentiation strengthens, with competitive exclusion dominating early and late stages, and ...

Analytical investigation on the rotational behavior of dovetail mortise–tenon joints between beams and columns in traditional Chinese timber frames

Journal of Wood Science
AbstractWe theoretically analyzed the rotational behavior of beam–column dovetail joints in traditional Chinese timber frames in this study. An analytical model of dovetail joints at both the column head and body was designed by clarifying the moment generation mechanism and effect of rotational embedment yielding in timber perpendicular to the grain ...
