Enhancing Seismic Performance: A Comprehensive Study on Masonry and Reinforced Concrete Structures Considering Soil Properties and Environmental Impact Assessment by Benjamin Labar, Nurullah Bektaş, Orsolya Kegyes-Brassai

“…After building design and analysis is performed, a life cycle analysis in terms of environmental impact assesments using OpenLCA and IdematLightLCA is done. This is done to ascertain the additional expenses in terms of ecocosts and carbon footprints on some failed elements in the structure which are required to make the buildings more resilient when the site-specific response spectrum is applied and to compare the potential economic losses that may occur based on ecological costs. …”

Inferring Jet Structure and Viewing Angles of Gamma-Ray Burst Jets from Early Rising Optical Afterglows by Sreelakshmi P. Chakyar, Lekshmi Resmi

“…Our results identify delayed optical peaks (occurring hundreds to thousands of seconds postburst) and low luminosity as key signatures of misaligned jets, with slow rises to peak suggesting structured jets. We further observe a correlation between the rest-frame peak time and the degree of misalignment in optical light curves. …”
