QUANTIFICATION OF ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL RISKS OF DEBRIS FLOWS FOR THE BLACK SEA COASTAL REGION OF THE NORTH CAUCASUS

open access: yesGeography, Environment, Sustainability, 2014
Debris flows are the most frequent and disastrous natural hazards among other exogenic processes at the Black Sea coastal region of the North Caucasus. Numerous debris flow releases are reported every year between Novorossiysk and Krasnaya Polyana.

Scaling in the Local Strain-Rate Field during Jerky Flow in an Al-3%Mg Alloy

open access: yesMetals, 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 ...

Avalanches in cardiology

open access: yesAnnals 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

Can model-based avalanche forecasts match the discriminatory skill of human danger-level forecasts? A comparison from Switzerland [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
In recent years, physics-based snowpack models combined with machine-learning techniques have gained momentum in public avalanche forecasting. When integrated with spatial interpolation methods, these approaches enable fully model-driven predictions of ...

Size Distribution of Emitted Energies in Local Load Sharing Fiber Bundles

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2021
We study the local load sharing fiber bundle model and its energy burst statistics. While it is known that the avalanche size distribution of the model is exponential, we numerically show here that the avalanche size (s) and the corresponding average ...

Scaling of causal neural avalanches in a neutral model

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2021
Neural avalanches are collective firings of neurons that exhibit emergent scale-free behavior. Understanding the nature and distribution of these avalanches is an important element in understanding how the brain functions.

AVALANCHE

open access: yesRevue LISA / LISA e-journal, 2022
Annotation: this article covers the types of rams, their classifications and what to do if they are left in the whirlpool of landslides, how to protect from them, as an unfortunate coincidence.

Calibration of snow avalanche mathematical models using the data of real avalanches in the Ile (Zailiyskiy) Alatau Range

open access: yesЛëд и снег, 2017
The calibration of the dry friction and turbulent friction coefficients is necessary for computer simulation of avalanches. The method of back calculation based on data on actual avalanches is used for this purpose.

Feedback Mechanisms for Self-Organization to the Edge of a Phase Transition

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2020
Scale-free outbursts of activity are commonly observed in physical, geological, and biological systems. The idea of self-organized criticality (SOC), introduced back in 1987 by Bak, Tang, and Wiesenfeld suggests that, under certain circumstances, natural
