Seismic Design of Concrete Dams: An Integrated Risk‐Informed Performance‐Based (RIPB) Framework

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper advances the integration of risk‐informed principles into the seismic design of dams—a domain long guided by standards‐based, largely deterministic approaches. While performance‐based earthquake engineering is well established for buildings and bridges, its systematic adoption in dam engineering remains limited. We first address two

Sunlight‐Driven Fixation of CO2 to Cyclic Carbonates Using Carbon Dots as a Photothermal Catalyst

Exploration, EarlyView.
The first example using carbon dots (CDs) for coupling CO2 with epoxides to generate cyclic carbonates in a metal‐, additive, solvent‐ and electricity input‐free manner under sunlight via photothermal catalytic route is developed. The CDs exhibit highly efficient solar‐to‐thermal conversion with an efficiency of 54%, providing thermal energy for ...

An Analogue Memristor Based on Conjugated Porous Polymer Composite for Artificial Synapse

Exploration, EarlyView.
The conjugated porous polymers integrated with boron‐doped carbon dots form a composite for organic memristor in an artificial synapse. The memristor shows analog‐type resistive switching behavior under ultraviolet irradiation, which is attributed to photoinduced redox.

Effect of Ammonium Polyphosphate/Silicate Content on the Postfire Mechanics of Epoxy Glass‐Fiber Composites Using Facile Chocolate Bar‐Inspired Structures

Fire and Materials, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 329-346, April 2025.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the postfire mechanical properties of epoxy glass‐fiber reinforced composites (EP GFRCs) using increasing concentrations of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and inorganic silicate (InSi) to modify the char and fire residue.

Caught in the fire: An accidental ethnography of discomfort in researching sex work

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on fifteen years of engagement with researching Israel's sex industry, this article uses accidental ethnography to propose discomfort‐as‐method for feminist anthropology. I argue that discomfort is not a by‐product of fieldwork but a constitutive condition that disciplines researchers and shapes what can be known.
