The demand for homeowners insurance with bundled catastrophe coverages : Wharton project on managing catastrophic risks [PDF]

, 2001
In this paper, we estimate the demand for homeowner insurance in Florida. Since we are interested in a number of factors influencing demand, we approach the problem from two directions. We first estimate two hedonic equations representing the premium per

Intelligent Maintenance Review for Robots: Multimodal Information, Deep Diagnosis and Embodied Artificial Intelligence

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review maps the methods to monitor robots’ health by fusing vibration, sound, control signals, vision, force, and oil information with artificial intelligence. It identifies deep learning, transfer learning, digital twins, and physics‐informed models as key methodological pathways enabling earlier diagnosis, safer human–robot collaboration, and ...

Advances and Perspectives in Graphene‐Based Quantum Dots Enabled Neuromorphic Devices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Graphene‐based QDs are zero‐dimensional carbon nanomaterials with pronounced quantum confinement and tunable electronic structures. Herein, we summarize their synthesis strategies and functionalization methods, and highlight their functional roles and operating mechanisms in devices, as well as recent advances in neuromorphic electronics. We anticipate

scTIDE: Deciphering Critical Transitions Through Cell‐Perturbed Manifold Graphs and Optimal Transport Conditional Flow Matching

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
scTIDE identifies single‐cell tipping points by combining manifold‐based graph representations with optimal‐transport conditional flow matching, which preserves intrinsic topology and models distributional dynamics. It supports critical‐transition detection at individual‐cell resolution, prediction of unseen cells, and dimensionality reduction and ...

Economic assessment of SRM under socio-political and geophysical tipping dynamics

Environmental Research: Climate
Solar radiation modification (SRM) is increasingly discussed as a policy response to worsening climate impacts and stalled mitigation progress. Yet the viability of SRM hinges on its long-term governance, particularly the risk of abrupt and permanent ...

Can Foraging for Earthworms Significantly Reduce Global Famine in a Catastrophe?

Biomass
Earthworms are a resilient group of species thriving in varied habitats through feeding on decaying organic matter, and are therefore predicted to survive an abrupt sunlight reduction scenario, e.g., a nuclear winter.

Experience‐Dependent Reorganization of Hippocampal CA3 Neuronal Ensembles Associates With Memory Generalization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mice can transfer the learned rule of spatial working memory to guide similar but novel tasks. Hippocampal CA3 populational activity dynamically reorganize during memory generalization, shifting from task‐specific to generalized coding over testing days. Sparse yet redundant neural representations of CA3 enable rule transfer and cognitive map formation,

Stabilized Cubic GeTe With Matched Grain‐Boundary Networks and Band Convergence for High‐Performance Dual‐Mode Thermoelectric Devices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
I‐doping stabilizes the cubic phase of GeTe and generates “electron‐transparent, phonon‐blocking” grain boundary networks while inducing valence‐band convergence. This synergistic structural‐electronic design enables effective electron‐phonon decoupling, achieving an exceptional average zTave of ∼1.62, a peak zT of ∼2.2, and enhanced mechanical ...

Catastrophic events as threats to society: Private and public risk management strategies [PDF]

Dramatic events in the recent past have drawn attention to catastrophe risk management problems. The devastating terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001 incurred the highest insured losses to date. Furthermore, a trend of increasing losses from natural
