Research on Self‐Identification Technology of Zero‐Value Insulators in Distribution Lines Based on Electroluminescence Effect

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To address the issue of low detection accuracy for zero‐value insulators in distribution lines, this study proposes a novel method for detecting these insulators based on the electroluminescence effect. Through theoretical analysis and experimentation, it was found that the luminescence intensity of ZnS:Cu electroluminescent material varies ...

River temperature response to atmospheric heatwaves is modulated by discharge and meltwater

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Alpine rivers are becoming increasingly exposed to atmospheric heatwaves. Because of their strong relationship with air temperature, rivers can experience persistent heat anomalies, known as riverine heatwaves, which can have serious consequences for ...

Animal‐Mediated Dispersal and Clonal Growth Drive Prunus cerasus Invasion in Andean Temperate Forest

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Prunus cerasus reproduces by clonality and by seed dispersal and germination. P. cerasus is invading Patagonian protected areas. The relative relevance of germination and clonal reproduction changes along the time of P. cerasus arrival at a site. Seed dispersal by foxes is primarily responsible for the spread of P. cerasus to new areas.

Snow Avalanches

open access: yes, 2004
Snow avalanches represent a threat to societies in many countries of the world. In America, Asia, Australia, and Europe, several mountainous countries are affected by this type of natural hazard. People, housing areas, communication lines, ski areas, animals, and woodland are subjected to the threat of snow avalanches.

Towards a model of glide-snow avalanche occurrence using in-situ soil and snow measurements

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology
Glide-snow avalanches release at the soil-snow interface and are currently difficult to predict. This is mostly due to a limited understanding of the release process and a lack of data, particularly of the snowpack and underlying soil conditions prior to

AlpIce‐1: a database of geochronological and geomorphological constraints on Alps‐wide palaeoglacier fluctuations between the Last Glacial Maximum and the Holocene

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The AlpIce‐1 database is the first compilation of published geomorphological and geochronological markers constraining build‐up, culmination and decay of glaciers from the Last Glacial Maximum through the Holocene across the entire European Alps. AlpIce‐1 integrates more than 4200 surface‐exposure and radiocarbon ages, homogenized, quality controlled ...

Taxonomic and functional patterns of arthropod succession after glacier retreat in the Dolomite Alps

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Arthropod succession after glacier retreat varied among species and forelands in the Dolomites Alps, with community composition shaped by glacier identity, time since deglaciation and local environmental conditions. Functional composition shifted from small, highly dispersive pioneer species to larger, less dispersive taxa, reflecting increasing ...

Citizenship, Dispossession and Demands for Justice in the Global South

open access: yesJournal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTIn this introduction to the Special Issue we frame a “dispossession‐citizenship nexus” that generates fresh insights on citizenship dynamics in the Global South. We focus on rural and peri‐urban areas where all citizens are not granted the same bundle of rights and specific categories of citizens are particularly exposed to dispossession of ...
