Generalised Kinematic Single‐Impact and Multi‐Impact Models for Rocking Structures

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rocking motion is fundamental in earthquake engineering, as it reflects the dynamic behaviour of many structural systems. However, simulating the impacts during rocking motion remains a challenging topic, as they occur in a very short time, generate high impulsive forces, cause sudden changes in velocities and result in rapid energy losses.

Rheological and Textural Properties of Clean‐Label 3D‐Printed Traditional Thai Dessert

open access: yesFood Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to develop a clean‐label 3D‐printable food ink using a formulation based on Khanom Piak Poon, a traditional Thai dessert, enriched with carrot powder (CP) for enhanced nutritional value. Unlike conventional food printing inks that contain additive hydrocolloids, this ink relies on the natural reactions between starch, sugar ...

Queer configurations: The female divine, regional identity, and Queer‐religious belonging in South India

open access: yesFeminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article explores how queerness and religion intersect in a unique enactment of Bathukamma, a flower festival honoring the female divine in Hyderabad, the capital of the South Indian state of Telangana. Drawing on theories of figuration, I analyze how local queer organizations celebrate the festival in a way that engages two distinctive ...
