There are many strategies and models that attempt to measure the impacts and losses from environmental crises. However, there remains a conceptual and methodological bias as assessments provide estimates of tangible and quantifiable indicators, whilst impact to intangible resources that are not easily quantifiable remain a significant oversight in disaster studies more specifically, and sustainability research more broadly. In this paper we use in-depth longitudinal qualitative data to theoretically and empirically demonstrate how intangible resources shape people's experience of so-called "natural" disasters. Building on this, we critically unpack how intangible resources facilitate household disaster recovery. We focus on home -an intangible resource -in order to explore these issues. The case study in Puerto Rico shows that the social characteristics of home are challenged, transformed, and/or exacerbated in different ways, and at different times, in post-disaster contexts.Our longitudinal approach reveals how people's feelings of belonging and attachment, alienation and detachment from home, fluctuate over time. In this way, the paper sheds light on how intangible resources are experienced temporally and spatially. The paper also reveals that the performance of actors such as the State and Nongovernmental organisations significantly shape how intangible resources such as home are transformed, and households' agency to maintain and recover such intangibles in post-disaster contexts. The analysis directly challenges the skewed and reductive hierarchies of what counts as a disaster loss. This is an innately political endeavour because it aims to develop strategic decision-making, from preparedness to recovery, that is sustainable for affected populations.

The determination of the precise geometry of the field-ion emitter from its field-ion image has been a long-standing problem. An analytical method is given which allows the cartesian coordinates (x,y,z) of each imaging site to be determined using data extracted from the micrograph by ring counting techniques. The coordinate data extracted in this way are used to produce profiles of the shape of symmetric and asymmetric iridium and tungsten emitters.

In this paper, we develop the notion of the 'sensory home'. We reveal how gustatory, olfactory and sonic experiences shape where and when one feels 'at home'. We draw on a qualitative, longitudinal methodology to explore how low-income Puerto Ricans experienced domestic tastescapes, smellscapes and soundscapes during the first 12 months after Hurricane Maria in 2017. We first show how the sensory home is made with familiar and routine sensory experiences, and unmade by intrusive and unfamiliar tastes, smells and sounds. Second, the sensory home is temporally dynamic as it is constituted by processes taking place on multiple scales and by multiple actors -particularly the state and neighbourhood. Thus, un/making the sensory home is inherently political as it is tied to statecitizen power relations -our third contribution. Finally, in disasters people asymmetrically recover not just economically or materially, but as we show, sensorially.

SUMMARY Ring counting is an important technique in the quantitative analysis of field‐ion micrographs since the information derived is independent of magnification and projection both of which vary in a complex way over the image. However, although the technique is important, its direct use has previously been restricted to the region within which the particular ring system is discernible. In this paper, techniques and procedures are described which usefully extend the range over which the ring count can be performed. The methods are based on determining the numerical interrelationship of the various ring structures. This not only allows ring counting to be effected over large angular distances, but also enables counts to be performed in any direction so that the number of rings of a high‐index plane can be determined through more prominent low‐index regions.

‘Ageing in place’ is a key component of UK policy, aimed at supporting older people to remain living in their own homes and communities for as long as possible. Although wide-ranging, the scholarly literature in this field has not sufficiently examined the interconnections between ageing in place and the changing experience of ‘home’ over time. This article addresses this gap in a novel way by bringing together qualitative secondary analysis of longitudinal data with critical literature on ‘home’ and Mason’s cutting-edge concept of ‘affinities’ to understand the multi-dimensionality of home in relation to ageing in place. The article makes significant methodological, empirical, and theoretical contributions to the field of scholarship on home, by demonstrating how homes are made and unmade over time. Discussions of home emerged organically in the longitudinal data that focused on people’s travel and transport use, allowing our qualitative secondary analysis approach to look anew at how experiences of home are dynamically shaped by people’s potent connections inside and outside the dwelling. Presenting an empirical analysis of four case studies, the article suggests that future discussions in the field of ageing in place should pay closer attention to the factors that shape experiences of the un/making of home over time, such as how deteriorating physical and mental health can shape how people experience their dwelling and neighbourhood as well as their relationships across these settings.
