Crises and Recoveries in an Empirical Model of Consumption Disasters [PDF]
We estimate an empirical model of consumption disasters using a new panel data set on personal consumer expenditure for 24 countries and more than 100 years, and study its implications for asset prices.

Ethnic heterogeneity and the probability of technological disasters [PDF]
This paper uses cross-country data from 1965 to 2008 to examine how ethnic heterogeneity affects the probability of technological disasters. Estimation results showed that ethnic heterogeneity increased the probability of technological disasters.Disaster,

Microscale 3D‐Printed Digital Strain Switches for Embedded Mechanical Computation
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Microscale 3D‐printed strain switches on flexible films convert deformation into native digital signals at geometry defined thresholds. A closed form model predicts switching from 3000 to 15 000 microstrain and is validated across 110 devices. Reliable ohmic closure and strain activated AND, OR, and XOR logic point toward low‐power mechanical ...

Disasters, displacement and a new framework in the Americas
Forced Migration Review, 2015 There is a startling range of positive examples of national law, policy and practice all across the Americas that states have used to respond to the migratory consequences of disasters.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Nanoimprint lithography can replicate complex 3D microstructures with undercuts using single‐layer polymer stamps of different elasticities. By combining experiments and simulations, T‐shaped geometries and suitable undercut radii were identified that minimize stress and defects during demolding.

Female genital mutilation: a case for asylum in Europe
Forced Migration Review, 2015 With some 71% of female EU asylum applicants from FGM-practising countries estimated to be survivors of this harmful traditional practice, it is time to accept that this subject demands greater scrutiny and a more dedicated response.

It Is Time to Factor Natural Disasters into Macroeconomic Scenarios [PDF]
Over the recent year, humanity has faced natural disasters of unprecedented magnitude and impact. However, governments and international aid organizations do not systematically plan for preventing and mitigating the effects of natural disasters, and ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A CNT‐reinforced dual‐network hydrogel combines ionic liquid‐mediated thermoresponsiveness, dynamic covalent crosslinking, and conductive nanostructures within a single adaptive material. The hydrogel exhibits ultrafast gelation, autonomous self‐healing, >1000% stretchability, reversible optical switching, and stable electromechanical sensing, enabling
