Florida’s coastal communities are at a critical juncture. Once the symbol of the “Florida dream” — offering affordable homes, economic opportunity, and waterfront living — these areas now face increasing threats from climate-related hazards. Hurricanes, such as Helene, have caused extensive destruction along Florida’s Gulf Coast, with damages reaching billions of dollars. The impacts extend […]

COVID-19 Forecasting: Three Cheers for Simple Models J. Eric Bickel Operations Research and Industrial Engineering The University of Texas at Austin In this talk, we analyze the performance of the models used to forecast the spread of COVID-19 and relate differences in performance to differing modeling approaches and structures. For example, some COVID-19 models are […]

Abstract Clothing is considered one of the most effective protection methods against the harmful effects of UV radiation from the sun. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation is linked to an increased risk of skin cancer and premature skin aging. Similar to sunscreens, fabrics can protect the skin by deflecting or absorbing ultraviolet radiation. The level […]
