The implication of the increase in storm frequency and intensity to coastal housing markets

Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2020
This paper analyzes the effects of storm frequency and intensity on housing values in Miami‐Dade County over the last three decades. We found that higher storm exposure accelerates the housing price discount caused by augmented flood risk.

An insight into flood frequency for design floods [PDF]

WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, 2008
The maximum annual flood (MAF) series of peak flows have been commonly used in the literature to estimate the parameters of a statistical model in order to estimate design floods for the proper protection and management of flows during extreme events. The use of maximum annual flows restricts the size of the available sample to the number of available ...

Bio‐templated Piezoresistive Yarn for High Sensitivity Movement Monitoring Textiles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study developed a conductive coating by biotemplating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) onto a Potato virus A (PV) particle network, cross‐linked on co‐polyamide‐starch (CoPA‐SS) coils. The combination of CoPA‐SS's shape memory and PV‐AgNP's piezoresistivity achieved high strain sensitivity and minimal hysteresis.

Combining information from multiple flood projections in a hierarchical Bayesian framework

, 2016
This study demonstrates, in the context of flood frequency analysis, the potential of a recently proposed hierarchical Bayesian approach to combine information from multiple models.

A 2000 year long seasonal record of floods in the southern European Alps [PDF]

, 2013
International audienceKnowledge of past natural flood variability and controlling climate factors is of high value since it can be useful to refine projections of the future flood behavior under climate warming.

Engineering an Optogenetic pH‐Modulator in Bacteria

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cells in many naturally occurring organisms routinely cooperate to control their extracellular pH in a dynamic and reversible manner, but this capability has been underexplored in synthetic biology. Here, we sought to engineer a microbial system that switches between two states —high and low extracellular pH— with minimal human intervention ...

Innovative Determination of Nearshore Flood Frequency

Coastal Engineering 1986, 1986
Reliable estimates of coastal flooding from tides and storm surges are required for making sound engineering decisions regarding the design, operation and maintenance of many coastal projects. A recent investigation of flood frequency along the coast and within the bays of southern Long Island, New York, produced new and optimal approaches to obtain ...

Overlaid Conductive Silver Nanowire Networks on Gas Diffusion Electrodes for High‐Performance Electrochemical CO2‐to‐C2+ Conversion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a rational electrode design for electrochemical CO2 reduction, employing Ag nanowire networks as both current collectors and tandem catalysts. The Ag nanowires are deposited onto the catalyst layer, forming a stacked PTFE/catalyst/Ag nanowires configuration.

A joint probability approach to flood frequency estimation using Monte Carlo simulation [PDF]

, 2010
In the UK, flood estimation using event based rainfall–runoff modelling currently assigns pre-defined design values to the input variables which control the size of the flow events, apart from the rainfall magnitude which is treated as a random variable.
