Trauma and affect in a Holocaust survivor's story: Rosita Fanto's novel Rozalia Alone
Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.Abstract My article endeavors to redress the neglect of Rosita Fanto's Rozalia Alone (2010), which deals with a page of history that is less known worldwide, the Holocaust in Romania. Using a trauma studies perspective that mixes with affect theory, the article demonstrates that Rozalia Alone covers in a nutshell the whole magnitude of the late 1930s ...

Characteristics of wet-snow avalanche activity: 20years of observations from a high alpine valley (Dischma, Switzerland) [PDF]
, 2018 The occurrence of wet-snow avalanches is, in general, poorly understood. For 20years (winters of 1975-1976 to 1994-1995), the avalanche activity has been observed in the Dischma valley near Davos (Eastern Swiss Alps).

A Two-Threshold Model for Scaling Laws of Non-Interacting Snow Avalanches
, 2004 The sizes of snow slab failure that trigger snow avalanches are power-law distributed. Such a power-law probability distribution function has also been proposed to characterize different landslide types.

Thermal energy in dry snow avalanches [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 Avalanches can exhibit many different flow regimes from powder clouds to slush flows. Flow regimes are largely controlled by the properties of the snow released and entrained along the path. Recent investigations showed the temperature of the moving snow

Calculation of Snow Avalanche Runout Distance [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 1983 Distance of maximum avalanche runout is calculated by four topographical factors. An empirical equation found by regression analysis of 206 avalanches is used to predict the maximum runout distance in terms of average gradient of the avalanche path (angle α).

Testing the Strength of Buried Surface Hoar Weak Layers Under Combined Compression and Shear Loading
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract We experimentally determined the multiaxial strength of weak layers of buried surface hoar using displacement‐controlled tests under combined normal and shear loading on a custom testing machine. We tested 63 samples from three different weak layers, with strengths ranging from 1 to 10 kPa with considerable scattering. While shear strength was
