Differing perspectives on the ephemerality of performance have led to debates since the 1980s regarding its ontology. Sondra Fraleigh and Peggy Phelan, for example, believe that performance’s ‘only life is in the present’. Others have disagreed. For example, Rebecca Schneider believes that&#...

Falls in older adults are a significant public health concern. Action simulation interventions involving action observation and/or motor imagery have been proposed as alternative or adjunct strategies to physical exercise for reducing fall risk. These approaches may minimize barriers to phys...

Background: Growing concerns about replicability, reproducibility, and transparency have led to the adoption of several open research practices aimed at reforming the academic ecosystem. The current study explores international researcher’s awareness and use of open research practice and variations ac...

This article is concerned with the recursive neural network (NN)-based state estimation problem for a class of stochastic discrete time-varying systems subjected to both unknown nonlinear dynamics and the token bucket communication protocol. The token bucket protocol is utilized to determine ...

Phase synchronization between propellers is a critical factor influencing aerodynamic interactions and their noise generation in electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles and unmanned aerial systems (UAS). While several studies have demonstrated the benefits of phase control of propeller...

This study investigates the out-of-plane seismic performance and fragility of masonry walls retrofitted with basalt fiber grid (BFG), carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP), glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP), and ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC). Large-scale masonry wall specimens were tested under la...

This paper develops a new toolbox for estimation and inference in panel data threshold regression models with interactive fixed effects and a fixed number of time periods, <i>T</i>. The toolbox is designed to be simple, accurate, and computationally efficient. It is based&#x...
