Crisis Preparation, Capacity Building, and Community Resilience: Lessons From Maui

Nonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 2023 Maui wildfires provide a unique context to explore the impact of nonprofit crisis networks taking a proactive role in community crisis response, leveraging resources, expertise, and networks. The Hawaiʻi Community Foundation (HCF) has been a key player in Maui's local response, providing critical support, mobilizing volunteers, and ...

Fundraising as Contracting: Why Nonprofits Accept In‐Kind Donations

Nonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In‐kind (nonmonetary) donations are a popular form of philanthropy that have received much less scholarly attention than monetary gifts. This study documents the prevalence of types of in‐kind giving and associated organizational practices, then explores links between the perceptions of nonprofit managers, organizational practices, and ...

Implications of heterogeneous embankment conditions for geoelectrical investigations on dams: A case study at Mactaquac Dam, Canada

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) has been shown to be effective for surveying and monitoring dams, due to the method's sensitivity to moisture content and relevant physical properties (e.g., porosity). Automated ERT systems, capable of time‐lapse monitoring, can be used to detect variations in ground conditions.

3D effects of seawater on electrical resistivity tomography near shorelines—Challenges and possible solutions inferred from synthetic and field data

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is one of the most widely used geophysical techniques for hydrogeological questions, such as investigating the groundwater transition zone between land and sea. The interpretation of 2D coast‐parallel ERT profiles is challenging because most of the electrical current flows through the highly conductive ...

Digital fire technologies and community networks: Cultivating just sociotechnical practices for living with planetary change

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Fires are expanding in frequency and intensity worldwide due to climate change and land‐use transformations. At the same time, fire often plays a regenerative role in ecosystems. Traditional and cultural practices incorporate fire use for landscape management and landscape renewal. In this complex matrix of fire ecologies, digital technologies

A Sensitivity Analysis Workflow for Power Series Compounded Lifetime Models: Evidence From Weibull Power Series Fits

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a practical procedure to quantify the time varying influence of parameters on hazard functions for power series compounded lifetime models. The procedure combines likelihood based fitting with a two stage sensitivity analysis and applies to a range of baselines and compounding laws.

Input–Output Finite‐Time Stability and Stabilization of Nonautonomous Nonlinear Quadratic Systems via State and Output Feedback

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents novel results regarding the input–output finite‐time stability (IO‐FTS) of nonlinear quadratic systems (NLQSs), a class of dynamical models particularly useful for the study of robotic systems, biochemical reaction networks, and other processes of interest to the applied sciences.
