The occurrence of tsunami damage is not limited to events causing coastal inundation. Even without flooding, maritime assets are vulnerable significant from strong currents and associated drag forces. While such impacts have been observed in the past, they well studied any context. Nearshore governed by nonlinear turbulent physics often large spatial temporal variability making high-fidelity modeling particularly challenging. Furthermore, measured data for validation numerical simulations...
Exposure to violence (ETV) poses a serious threat adolescents’ safety and well-being; however, some adolescents who grow up in such toxic environments are able thrive due combination of internal external characteristics. The current study examines the role cohesion across contexts (i.e., family, school, community) as moderating relation between ETV positive outcomes characteristic resilient youth ethnic identity, affect, self-esteem) sample low-income, urban, African American ( N = 269, 60%...
Adolescents of color experiencing chronic environmental stress are at an increased risk for adverse mental health concerns and problems behaviors. Concepts drawn from the Positive Youth Development (PYD) framework identify internal external assets that suggest positive outcomes youth promote resilience. The present study investigated relationship between Five Cs Sixth C models PYD (represented by competence, confidence, connection, caring, character, contribution) likelihood...
Objective: The current study examined the extent of gun exposure, referring to mere presence guns in youth’s lives, a sample Black American adolescents residing low-income urban neighborhoods. relationship exposure internalizing and externalizing outcomes was also explored. Method: Data were collected from 185 eighth-grade students ( M = 13.58 years old, 59% female). Results: Just under half youth reported some type with most often exposed outside home. Overall related but not symptoms,...
The application of the technique in situ gamma-ray spectrometry to measurement uranium isotopes surface soils is described. A basic review methodology using high resolution germanium spectrometers given and specifics on calculated fluences, dose rates air, calibration factors are provided for relevant their progeny. influence depth distribution measured concentrations examined as it pertains comparison results with those obtained soil sampling. Results from analysis spectra collected...

Centering youth voices in a participatory cross-age mentoring program urban high-poverty communities, this paper addresses three problems knowledge about of color experiencing low-income: 1) Misrepresenting as disproportionately violence-prone, 2) minimizing stressors experience, and 3) ignoring youths' goals. Those can be framed contemporary form DuBois' construct "scientific racism." To counteract scientific racism, promote epistemic justice, support goals demonstrating they are not "all...
The Promise of Digital Out-of-School Programs for Supporting Youth in Under-Resourced Communities: Participatory Principles Human Rights-based Virtual Group Programming This study reports insights from a six-year phase ("Law Under Curious Minds") 17-year project (Empowering Counseling Program Science Initiative) with youth experiencing low income residing disinvested communities segregated by race metropolitan US city. offered over Zoom employed semi-structured emergent curriculum to afford...
Tsunami-evacuation planning in coastal communities is typically based on maximum evacuation zones for a single scenario or composite of sources; however, this approach may over-evacuate community and overly disrupt the local economy strain emergency-service resources. To minimize potential future over-evacuations, multiple arrival time inundation extent are being developed California communities. We use city Alameda, (USA), as case study to explore population implications associated with...
This chapter is directed towards two audiences: Firstly, it targets nonemergency management readers, providing them with insight on the process and challenges facing emergency managers in responding to tsunami Warning, particularly given this “short fuse” scenario. It called because there only a 5.5-hour window following earthquake before arrival of within which evaluate threat, disseminate alert warning messages, respond. action initiates period when crisis communication paramount...
The current study seeks to understand the potential benefits of culturally matched cross-age peer mentoring for Black and Latinx adolescent mentors residing in low-income, urban communities. Data were derived from a 4-year longitudinal project examining effectiveness community-based mentoring. sample ( N = 249, 60.6% female, M 16.72 years) analyzed using HLM. Findings indicated that relationship bond rather than attendance predicted change on several positive outcomes. Adolescent found...
Based on the observations recent transoceanic tsunami events, it has been seen that severe damage may still occur in ports and harbors as a result of strong tsunami-induced currents, even if there is no or limited inundation. Dynamic currents induced by waves, while regularly observed known to cause significant damage, are poorly understood. In this paper, will be discussed strongest port governed horizontally sheared rotational shallow flow with imbedded turbulent coherent structures,...
Street-based social work responds to the “social disaster” of U.S. youth color experiencing poverty who fall through cracks existing safety nets. Drawing from 17 years feedback clients about street-based service provision in university–community partnerships, flexible model uses several trauma-focused, strengths-based, and humanistic modalities provide with a positive childhood experience support their self-determination, undergirded by culturally sensitive accompaniment approach. can be...
