Extreme Weather Events and Consumer Food Responses
ABSTRACT This study investigates consumer food responses to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which affected a swath of the Southeastern U.S. in 2024. Using representative consumer survey data from six affected states, we analyze 10 distinct food responses classified into ex ante and ex post responses, and examine their associations with food insufficiency

Institutional Diversity in Banking and Economic Complexity
ABSTRACT In this paper, we test whether institutional diversity in banking systems is beneficial to economic complexity, using data for Italian provinces in the period 1998–2017. We compute different indexes that consider diversity from an ownership, institutional, business model and competition point of view and find that higher diversity has a ...

Full Duplex AF and DF Relaying Under Channel Estimation Errors for V2V Communications
In this paper, we investigate the outage performance of full-duplex (FD) and half-duplex (HD) vehicle to vehicle (V2V) networks. We consider two vehicular communication scenarios with the assistance of roadside unit (RSU), i.e., RSU-to-vehicle-to-vehicle

The mental health impacts of climate change across diverse global settings
Abstract Climate change represents a growing threat to global mental health, generating traumatic stress exposures directly through climate‐related disasters and indirectly through social networks and pervasive media coverage. This paper provides an overview of the symposium “The Mental Health Effects of Climate Change Across Diverse Global Settings ...

Stabilising Routines in Complex Emergencies: How Basic Service Continuity Shapes Perceived Security
ABSTRACT This study examines how locally embedded actors describe the relationship between basic service continuity and perceived security in complex emergencies, with particular attention to the stabilisation of everyday routines. Using Proximity‐Predictability‐Attributability (PPA) as an analytic lens, we trace how interviewees relate access to water,

Outage probability of a cooperative maximum ratio transmission
In this paper, we present a cooperative communication system employing maximum ratio transmission technique and its outage probability performance over Rayleigh fading channels. Since maximum ratio transmission can achieve full diversity when used at tranmitters having multiple antennas while requiring no complexity increase at the receiver, the ...

ADAPT: An Autonomous Forklift for Construction Site Operation
ABSTRACT Efficient material logistics are critical in controlling costs and schedules in the construction industry. However, manual material handling remains prone to inefficiencies, delays, and safety risks. Autonomous forklifts offer a solution to streamline on‐site logistics, reducing reliance on human operators and mitigating labor shortages.
