Reliability-based assessment of roofs in Japan subjected to extreme snows: incorporation of site-specific data

Engineering Structures, 2005
Abstract Performance-based engineering is a new paradigm in structural design for natural hazards. In this paper, the authors explore the problem of estimating regional variations in fractiles of snow load used for design purposes from a limited number of discrete observing stations. The reliability implications of such estimates are examined for the

Perceptual and archival measures of Miles and Snow's strategic types: a comprehensive assessment of reliability and validity.

Academy of Management journal. Academy of Management, 1991
Despite the widespread research use of Miles and Snow's typology of strategic orientations, there have been no systematic attempts to assess the reliability and validity of its various measures. The present work provides such an assessment using data collected at two points from over 400 organizations in the hospital industry. We examined dimensions of

Individual sexing and genotyping from blood spots on the snow: A reliable source of DNA for non-invasive genetic surveys

Conservation Genetics, 2005
The present note shows the usefulness and reliability, in non-invasive surveys of wolf ( Canis lupus ) populations, of a so far neglected source of DNA: blood spots occasionally found when following wolf tracks in snow.

Site Specific Reliability-Targeted Snow Loads and Winter Wind Parameters Across the World

This report presents a framework for estimating Reliability Targeted Snow Loads (RTSLs) and Winter Wind Parameters (WWPs) at locations outside the Conterminous United States (OCONUS). The methodology integrates ground-based in-situmeasurements with gridded global climate products to generate spatially continuous RTSL estimates for nearly any location ...

Multi-Hazard Reliability of Reservoirs, Aquifers, and Springs in Basilicata under Snow Drought and NTC18 Regulations

The prolonged 2023–2026 drought has exposed critical vulnerabilities in the hydro-infrastructural systems of Southern Italy, where drinking water supply depends on a coupled network of snow-fed reservoirs, spring systems, and karst aquifers. This contribution proposes a multi-hazard analytical framework that links snow drought, hydrogeological deficit,

Advanced Snow Management Techniques for Enhancing PV System Efficiency and Reliability in Snowy Climates

The deployment of photovoltaic (PV) systems in northern climates faces signifi cantchallenges due to snow accumulation, which reduces operational effi ciency. Withclimate change causing extreme weather conditions to occur more frequently(IPCC, 2021), this challenge is exacerbated.
