Engaging communities to prepare for natural hazards: a conceptual model [PDF]

, 2022
Natural hazard preparation by communities reduces disaster-induced physical health prob- lems and adverse experiences, lowers potential for post-traumatic stress disorders, and aids faster recovery.

Natural hazards

, 2016
Hazards associated with natural events in the hydrological domain broadly include river floods, landslides and droughts. Over the last decade there has been a focus on New Zealand research in the areas of flood, related to storm rainfalls, earthquakes and volcanic activity.

Range Extension of Borehole Strainmeters Using MOSFET-Based Multi-Switch Automatic Zero Setting

Sensors
Borehole strainmeters are essential tools for observing crustal deformation. In long-term observational applications, the dynamic changes in crustal deformation over multi-year scales often exceed the single measurement range of borehole strainmeters ...

Research on the RZB-Type Three-Dimensional Drilling Strain Measurement System

Sensors
Borehole strain gauges play a crucial role in geophysical, seismological, and crustal dynamics studies. While existing borehole strain gauges are proficient in measuring horizontal strains within vertical boreholes, their effectiveness in capturing ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
