Flood Damage Evaluation for Buildings in a Small Island Developing State
Abstract Flooding poses significant social and economic challenges for Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Despite frequent and damaging flood events, SIDS are underrepresented among global flood damage models. This study evaluated tree‐based learning algorithm performance for building damage prediction, using a new data set from 2012 Tropical ...

Magnetoconductance oscillations in quasiballistic multimode nanowires
We calculate the conductance of quasi-one-dimensional nanowires with electronic states confined to a surface charge layer, in the presence of a uniform magnetic field.

Leveraging User‐Generated Spatial Content for Urban Crime Analysis: A Data‐Driven Approach
ABSTRACT Street crimes in urban areas are influenced by the physical characteristics and built environment of a city, including road networks, visibility, lighting, and land use distribution. Traditionally, authorized data sources such as city maps have been used to investigate these urban form parameters. However, with advancements in technology, user‐
