Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel yet practical friction‐based structural component design for low‐damage earthquake‐resistant structures. The proposed connection design is based on a conventional slotted‐bolted configuration with the novelty being the use of loose steel washer plates to establish the friction‐sliding interface.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent tsunamigenic earthquakes in Japan have highlighted the emerging fire hazard triggered by tsunami inundation and its impact on tsunami vertical evacuation (TVE) structures. This new type of fire following earthquake, referred to as “tsunami fires,” may be a potential universal hazard that tsunami‐prone countries face; however, it has not

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...

Char Layer Thickness Evolution During Structural Timber Fire Experiment and Final Density Profile
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper evaluates several non‐destructive experimental methods for determining the char layer thickness and its density profile in structural timber samples exposed to standard ISO 834 fire curve experiments. Microwave echo pulse, ultrasonic echo pulse, X‐ray computed tomography, and resistance drilling were evaluated.

Hydrogen Halide Gas Sensors: Active Materials, Operation Principles, and Emerging Technologies
Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.This review considers hydrogen halide (HX) gas sensors across functional materials and principles: acoustic, chemical, optical and nanophotonic. The strong acidity and reactivity of HX gases are discussed as constraints for stability and selectivity of these devices.

Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.An electron‐donating Ni3N interlayer enables selective anion gating, suppressing Cl− corrosion while preserving OH− reactivity. The resulting seawater oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalyst achieves 2.12 V at 1000 mA cm−2 and ~550 h stability. This generalizable strategy improves the durability of diverse catalysts by 2–10x.

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study presents that the WRF model, coupled with bulk urban parameterization, effectively captures the summer urban heat island (UHI) patterns across the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East, showing stronger night‐time surface UHIs (5°C–6°C) and daytime surface cool islands (up to 12.5°C).

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.In randomly distributed Cu2O octahedron particles on a glass substrate, the absence of particles in certain areas generates a distinct “void‐particle induced interference” phenomenon. This effect results in notable reflection and transmission dichroism, characterized by two reflection peaks within the visible spectrum, but only a single transmission ...

Carrier Transport in Electrically‐Driven Photonic Crystal Membrane Lasers
Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.A model to study carrier transport in photonic crystal lasers with a buried heterostructure active region and a lateral current injection scheme is presented. The model identifies unconventional leakage paths which explain low injection efficiencies and enhanced recombination at the p‐doping interface observed experimentally.
