Natural disaster risk salience and the strategic appointment of directors with sustainability expertise

Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how salient sustainability risks from near‐miss natural disasters influence board composition. Using a difference‐in‐differences design, I find that firms located in counties neighboring disaster‐affected areas significantly increase the presence of directors with sustainability expertise following the disaster.

A Conditional Tail Expectation Type Risk Measure for Time Series

Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We consider the estimation of the conditional expectation 𝔼(Xh|X0>UX(1/p)), provided 𝔼|X0|<∞, at extreme levels, where (Xt)t∈ℤ$$ {\left({X}_t\right)}_{t\in \mathbb{Z}} $$ is a strictly stationary time series, UX$$ {U}_X $$ its tail quantile function, h$$ h $$ is a positive integer and p∈(0,1)$$ p\in \left(0,1\right) $$ is such that p→0$$ p\to ...

Spatial Regulation of Silicon Accumulation in Peduncle Confers Sheathed Spike in Barley

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peduncle, the uppermost internode in cereals, connects the stem to the inflorescence and is critical for the transport of water, nutrients and photosynthetic assimilates. While peduncle length associates with plant height and its elongation is primarily regulated by phytohormones, we report a previously unrecognized mechanism involving the ...

Contemporary disasters may not kill more women than men: an empirical inquiry into sex‐differentiated fatalities in the twenty‐first century

Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the claim that women are disproportionately more likely to die in disasters by reviewing existing data sources and compiling new datasets on sex‐differentiated disaster fatalities in the twenty‐first century. The analysis is structured by disaster type, covering geophysical, meteorological, climatological, hydrological,

Spatial relationship of turfgrass tissue nitrogen content and several vegetation indices on sand‐capped golf course fairways

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Vegetation indices (VIs), such as normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), are widely used to assess nitrogen (N) status in crop systems and are gaining interest in turfgrass management. However, most studies have been conducted in controlled settings, and their relevance under real‐world golf course conditions remains unclear.

Analytic studies on satellite detection of severe, two-cell tornadoes [PDF]

It is argued that a two-cell structure is likely to be the unique property, and potentially satellite-accessible observable, of the exceptionally severe tornado.

Professional Engagement With Climate Change Among Five Communities of Practice in Virginia, USA: An Exploratory Study

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.
Municipalities across the United States and the world face profound climate adaptation and mitigation challenges. To assess current engagement and future potential of various professional communities to communicate about and contribute to such efforts, we conducted 56 in‐depth interviews in Virginia with members of five communities of practice (elected

Dynamical Systems and Topological Surgery

, 2008
In this paper we try to establish a connection between a three-dimensional Lotka--Volterra dynamical system and two-dimensional topological surgery. There are many physical phenomena exhibiting two-dimensional topological surgery through a `hole drilling'

A Comparison of Bankfull Flow Estimation Methods at Gauged Locations Across the Contiguous United States

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Floods are one of the leading causes of death from natural hazards in the United States (US). Better prediction of bankfull flow is needed in order to communicate potential flood risks and initiate response within forecasting frameworks. Traditional bankfull flow estimations are based on empirical equations whose accuracy is shown to be ...
