Synergizing Multi-Temporal Remote Sensing and Systemic Resilience for Rainstorm–Flood Risk Zoning in the Northern Qinling Foothills: A Geospatial Modeling Approach by Dong Liu, Jiaqi Zhang, Xin Wang, Jianbing Peng, Rui Wang, Xiaoyan Huang, Denghui Li, Long Shao, Zixuan Hao

“…This framework quantitatively evaluates the nonlinear response mechanisms of town–village systems to flood disasters, emphasizing the synergistic effects of spatial scale, morphology, and functional organization. The proposed framework uniquely integrates three innovative modules: (1) a hybrid risk identification engine combining normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) temporal anomaly detection and spatiotemporal hotspot analysis; (2) a morpho-functional resilience quantification model featuring a newly developed spatial morphological resilience index (SMRI) that synergizes landscape compactness, land-use diversity, and ecological connectivity through the entropy-weighted analytic hierarchy process (AHP); and (3) a dynamic scenario simulator embedding rainfall projections into a coupled hydrodynamic model. …”

Thermomechanical and Photophysical Properties of Crystal-Violet-Dye/H2O Based Dissolutions via the Pulsed Laser Photoacoustic Technique by Vicente Torres-Zúñiga, Rosalba Castañeda-Guzmán, Santiago J. Pérez-Ruiz, Omar G. Morales-Saavedra

“…An appropriate processing of the photoacoustic signals allows an adequate data analysis of the generated waves within the system, providing an accurate determination of the speed of sound as function of the dye-concentration. The acoustic attenuation was calculated based on the distance of the two PZT-microphones to an acoustic-source point and performing linear-fitting of the experimental data (RMS-amplitudes) as function of the dye-concentration. …”
