Building‐Scale Flood Hazard Modelling for Risk Assessment of Cultural Heritage

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Flooding is among the most frequent natural hazards threatening cultural heritage sites, yet current flood hazard studies often operate at urban or regional scales. While building‐scale damage models exist, they generally rely on flood depth inputs from large‐scale inundation models, inputs that may fail to capture the internal complexity of ...

Influence of Manganese Dioxide (MnO2) Coated Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch Spikelet Fibers on the Physicochemical and Mechanical Properties of Fiber Cement Composites

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
MnO2‐coated OPEFB fibers produced via a simple wet process showed smoother surfaces and significantly reduced water absorption in fiber cement composites, enhancing moisture resistance. ABSTRACT The use of natural fibers in cement‐based composites is increasingly encouraged as a sustainable alternative to synthetic fibers; however, their inherent ...

The state of modelling face processing in humans with deep learning

British Journal of Psychology, Volume 117, Issue 2, Page 656-676, May 2026.
Abstract Deep learning models trained for facial recognition now surpass the highest performing human participants. Recent evidence suggests that they also model some qualitative aspects of face processing in humans. This review compares the current understanding of deep learning models with psychological models of the face processing system ...
