Enhanced Deformability Through Distributed Buckling in Stiff Quasicrystalline Architected Materials
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Quasi‐periodic metamaterials combine stiffness and large‐strain deformability, overcoming limitations of traditional stretching‐dominated periodic designs that are prone to global buckling instabilities and catastrophic layer collapses. By leveraging non‐uniform force chains, they achieve high isotropic stiffness, stable deformation, and remarkable ...

The necessity for an ethnographic approach in Peru
Forced Migration Review, 2015 A movement of people is rarely explained by environmental or climatic factors alone. Therefore an analysis which does not take into consideration the cultural consequences of climate change for affected societies is incomplete.

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2019 Cities are increasingly becoming hot-spots for nature-originated disasters. While the role of the urban built environment in fostering disaster resilience has been recognized for some time, it has been difficult to translate this potential into practice.

The impact of natural disasters on crime [PDF]
This study addresses the following questions in the context of a developing coun- try. Do crimes increase following natural disasters? Does an upcoming election or the presence of a strong local media, which potentially increases the incentive of the gov-

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.The photophysical properties of a hybrid solid state film, composed of a conjugated polymer and CsPbBr3 (zwitterionic sulfobetaine ‐capped) perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), are investigated by ultrafast spectroscopy and morphological characterization. The transient spectroscopy highlights the presence at the interface of a charge transfer state, and the ...

West Africa: a testing ground for regional solutions
Forced Migration Review, 2015 West Africa has a very mobile population and high vulnerability to natural hazards. It also, however, has a number of regional cooperation agreements and may therefore be a useful testing ground for addressing cross-border disaster displacement.

Nowcasting Disaster Damage [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Could social media data aid in disaster response and damage assessment? Countries face both an increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters due to climate change. And during such events, citizens are turning to social media platforms for disaster-related communication and information.

Natural disasters and growth - going beyond the averages [PDF]
There has been a steady increase in the occurrence of natural disasters. Yet their effect on economic growth remains unclear, with some studies reporting negative, and others indicating no, or even positive effects. These seemingly contradictory findings
