Risk assessment in the North Caucasus ski resorts [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016 Avalanches pose a significant problem in most mountain regions of Russia. The constant growth of economic activity, and therefore the increased avalanche hazard, in the North Caucasus region lead to demand for the development of large-scale avalanche ...

Linking snow depth to avalanche release area size: measurements from the Vallée de la Sionne field site [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016 One of the major challenges in avalanche hazard assessment is the correct estimation of avalanche release area size, which is of crucial importance to evaluate the potential danger that avalanches pose to roads, railways or infrastructure.

Microstructure-based modeling of snow mechanics: a discrete element approach [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 Rapid and large deformations of snow are mainly controlled by grain rearrangements, which occur through the failure of cohesive bonds and the creation of new contacts. We exploit a granular description of snow to develop a discrete element model based on

Scaling in the Local Strain-Rate Field during Jerky Flow in an Al-3%Mg Alloy
Metals, 2020 Jerky flow in alloys, or the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect, presents an outstanding example of self-organization phenomena in plasticity. Recent acoustic emission investigations revealed that its microscopic dynamics is governed by scale invariance ...

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2021 Sudden cardiac death (SCD) accounts for 15%–60% of mortality in patients with heart disease. Generally, this has been attributed to ventricular tachyarrhythmia. However, ventricular tachyarrhythmia has been documented or strongly suspected on clinical grounds in a relatively small proportion of SCD patients (8%–50%). Attempted
