Viscereality: Bioresponsive Virtual Reality for Box Breathing and Altered-State Experience

This study demonstrates that a bioresponsive virtual reality system mapping lung volume to a dynamic particle field effectively enhances breathing synchronization and induces altered states of consciousness during box breathing, though the specific influence of particle symmetry on these outcomes remains inconclusive.

Quantifying the Acclimatization Process Following Conservation Treatment Using Digital Speckle Pattern Interferometry

This 11-year study at the V&A Museum utilized Digital Speckle Pattern Interferometry to demonstrate that 18th-century French cabinet drawers, regardless of the adhesive used for consolidation, acclimatize to gallery environmental conditions within a few years, suggesting this rapid stabilization is a general phenomenon relevant to the preventive conservation of treated cultural heritage.

Scenario-driven flood resilience assessment and critical node identification for urban road networks

This study proposes a scenario-driven framework that integrates dynamic flood simulations with a two-criterion identification method to reveal how rainfall patterns and terrain jointly shape urban road network resilience, demonstrating that prioritizing reinforcement based on both structural importance and flood exposure significantly outperforms topology-only or random strategies in mitigating connectivity loss.
