Mortality rates of the Alpine Chamois : the influence of snow-meteorological factors [PDF]
, 2008 Especially for animals inhabiting alpine areas, winter environmental conditions can be limiting. Cold temperatures, hampered food availability and natural perils are just three of many potential threats that mountain ungulates face in winter ...

Regulatory Framework and Public Policies for Sustainability in the Construction Sector
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study analyzes the role of public policies in promoting socially responsible practices in the construction sector, with a particular focus on their contribution to climate neutrality and the decarbonization of the building stock. European agreements exert increasing pressure to transform the construction sector, reinforcing the transition

Modeling spatially distributed snow instability at a regional scale using Alpine3D
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 Assessing the avalanche danger level requires snow stratigraphy and instability data. As such data are usually sparse, we investigated whether distributed snow cover modeling can be used to provide information on spatial instability patterns relevant for

Opening angle of loose-snow avalanches [PDF]
, 2013 Loose-snow avalanches occur frequently after snow-falls or as long as snowpack evolves in winter.The two relevant points in the signature of this kind of avalanches are: the lack of internal cohesion and the inverted V shape of the avalanche, also known ...

High 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 ...

SNOW AVALANCHE ACTIVITY IN PARÂNG SKI AREA REVEALED BY TREE-RINGS [PDF]
Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai: Geographia, 2014 Snow Avalanche Activity in Parâng Ski Area Revealed by Tree-Rings. Snow avalanches hold favorable conditions to manifest in Parâng Mountains but only one event is historically known, without destructive impact upon infrastructure or fatalities and this ...

Glacier Change, Concentration, and Elevation Effects in the Karakoram Himalaya, Upper Indus Basin [PDF]
, 2011 In recent decades the consequences of climate change for Himalayan glaciers has become of great concern. Glaciers in much of High Asia appear to be declining, some at globally extreme rates (Ageta 2001;Oerlemanns 2001).

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 ...

Seismic signal characterization of snow avalanches using distributed acoustic sensing in Grasdalen, western Norway [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System SciencesWe show the use of distributed acoustic sensing for analyzing seismic signals from snow avalanches. For three winter seasons, we continuously recorded seismic data using distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) on a standard telecommunication fiber along a ...

Coupled Snow Cover and Avalanche Dynamics Simulations to Evaluate Wet Snow Avalanche Activity [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2018 We present physics‐based snowpack simulations for four snow seasons with detailed wet snow avalanche activity records. The distributed, spatially explicit simulations using the Alpine3D and SNOWPACK model show that the simulated snowpack in the release areas of documented wet snow avalanches often exhibits its first wetting of the season on the release
