A new smooth failure criterion for concrete inspired by Lubliner's condition
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract A new failure criterion with 10 parameters is proposed, based on Lubliner's idea of joining two Drucker–Prager cones. The novelty lies in the way of introducing deviatoric shape variation: through two Podgórski's functions. This feature allows for improving plane stress cross‐section's compatibility with experimental data.

Constructing Difference: Maternal Boundary‐Work in Science‐Based and Natural Mom Groups on Facebook
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.Boundary‐work describes the activities of social groups as they seek to differentiate themselves from others to establish credibility, authority, or to protect their interests. While a growing body of literature explores occupational boundary‐work in health care, limited research has focused on how lay actors practice boundary‐work online.

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract This article proposes the concept of disciplinary languaging to account for the regulated forms of communication that are characteristic of TESOL master's preparatory programs in the UK. It does so with a view to the effects on the socialization of international students who are attracted by the global promotion of such programs and the ...

Teaching Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Statistical hypothesis testing (SHT) is widely employed across numerous scientific disciplines, and a clear understanding of its underlying logic is essential for the broader scientific community. Here, drawing upon both epistemological and statistical perspectives, we aim to clarify—primarily for educational purposes—the logical relationship ...

Enhancing generalized spectral clustering with embedding Laplacian graph regularization
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.Abstract An enhanced generalised spectral clustering framework that addresses the limitations of existing methods by incorporating the Laplacian graph and group effect into a regularisation term is presented. By doing so, the framework significantly enhances discrimination power and proves highly effective in handling noisy data.

TNCOA: Efficient Exploration via Observation‐Action Constraint on Trajectory‐Based Intrinsic Reward
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Efficient exploration is critical in handling sparse rewards and partial observability in deep reinforcement learning. However, most existing intrinsic reward methods based on novelty rely on single‐step observations or Euclidean distances.
