The Measurement of Personal Self-Efficacy in Preparing for a Hurricane and Its Role in Modeling the Likelihood of Evacuation

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2015
Storm surges require that coastal residents make necessary preparations and evacuate the coast prior to hurricane landfall. An important individual characteristic in preparing for tropical cyclones is hurricane personal self-efficacy.

Stealth dicing strategy for fabricating the cleavage mirror facets of semiconductor laser

Materials & Design
We investigated the formation of cavity mirror facets of GaN-based laser diodes (LDs) using laser stealth dicing (SD) approach in skip-and-scribing mode and compared it with traditional diamond-tip edge-scribing method.

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Climate Change Risks and Customer Concentration: Evidence From US‐Listed Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While prior studies have investigated climate risks in supply chains, customer ESG pressures, and shared climate exposure, this paper is, to the best of our knowledge, the first to provide direct empirical evidence on the relationship between climate change risks and firms' customer concentration.

HURRICANES AND HURRICANE TIDES

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1957
Most of the maximum tides of record between Cape Hatteras, N.C., and Brownsville, Tex., have been produced by tropical cyclones, or, as they are generally known in the United States, hurricanes. Some of the highest tides of record northward along the coast from Cape Hatteras to Cape Cod have been produced by hurricanes.

Global Energy Corporations and Climate Change: The Role of Formal and Informal Institutions in Shaping Climate Change Risk Disclosure

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines climate change risk disclosure in the global energy sector, where firms face intense stakeholder scrutiny and legitimacy pressures. We develop a novel domain‐specific textual analysis measure to capture climate change risk disclosures, improving on prior approaches based on generic environmental terminology.

Aerodynamic Mitigation of Wind Uplift on Low-Rise Building Roof Using Large-Scale Testing

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020
During strong wind events such as hurricanes and thunderstorms, building roofs are subjected to high wind uplift forces (suctions), which often lead to severe roofing component damage and possibly, water intrusion.

Bayesian inverse ensemble forecasting for COVID‐19

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Variations in strains of COVID‐19 have a significant impact on the rate of surges and on the accuracy of forecasts of the epidemic dynamics. The primary goal for this article is to quantify the effects of varying strains of COVID‐19 on ensemble forecasts of individual “surges.” By modelling the disease dynamics with an SIR model, we solve the ...
