ReAFFIRM: Real-time Assessment of Flash Flood Impacts: a Regional high-resolution Method [PDF]
, 2020 Flash floods evolve rapidly in time, which poses particular challenges to emergency managers. One way to support decision-making is to complement models that estimate the flash flood hazard (e.g.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.WP(Pip) is a mixture of whey protein and piperine‐loaded nanoemulsion stabilized by WP through microfluidic homogenization. Acting as a “smart key,” piperine opens epithelial tight junctions to enhance absorption of whey protein and, thereby increasing circulating amino acid availability, synergistically up‐regulates the mTOR signaling pathway in ...

Barriers to Insurance as a Flood Risk Management Tool: Evidence from a Survey of Property Owners
International Journal of Disaster Risk Science, 2020 By using risk-adjusted price signals to transfer responsibility for property-level flood protection and recovery from governments to property owners, flood insurance represents a key tenet of the flood risk management (FRM) paradigm.

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.
