In this paper a local case study is presented in which detailed inundation simulations have been performed to support damage analysis and risk assessment related to the 2004 tsunami in Phang Nga and Phuket, Thailand.Besides tsunami sources, bathymetry and topography, bottom roughness Bubble Bath induced by vegetation and built environment is consid
Abstract Due to its high ecological validity, virtual reality (VR) technology has emerged as a powerful tool for mental health research.Despite the wide use of VR simulations in research on mental illnesses, the study of addictive processes through the use of VR environments is still at its dawn.In a systematic literature search, we identified 38 r
BackgroundThe environmental prevalence of widely prescribed human pharmaceuticals that target key evolutionary conserved biomolecules present across phyla is concerning.Antidepressants, one of the most widely consumed pharmaceuticals globally, have been developed to target biomolecules modulating monoaminergic neurotransmission, thus interfering wi
The COVID-19 outbreak has brought unprecedented social attention to economic uncertainty and negative interest rate policy (NIRP).How does uncertainty affect economic activity, and how effective is a NIRP based on central bank digital currency (CBDC)? To answer the two questions, we constructed a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model
