Reliability Analysis of Snow Depth Monitoring System Based on Improved FMECA

2016
Aiming at the problems of low accuracy and strong subjectivity in reliability analysis based on FMECA, the fuzzy theory and VIKOR theory methods are applied in criticality analysis in FMECA technique. Firstly, fuzzy decision matrix of risk factors based on fuzzy theory is built, in which fuzziness is removed by barycenter method, and specific ...

Reliability Analysis of Slope Stability under the Condition of Extreme Ice-Snow and Frozen Disaster

Earth and Space 2010, 2010
Most areas in south China suffered the rare disaster of low temperature, ice-snow and freezing weather at 2008, which caused serious impact on the society, e.g. power systems, transportation, agriculture and people's living. In this paper, the influence of ice-snow on the infrastructures, such as the slope, is studied; meanwhile the defense work under ...

Quantification of reliability of roofs subjected to snow loadsdetermined by hydrological models

Snow loads exert a significant influence on the structural integrity of buildings in the northern hemisphere, necessitating precise assessment methodologies to ensure the reliability of roofs under this environmental stressor. The determination of roof snow load is intricately linked to evaluating the weight of accumulated snow on the roof surface, a ...

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

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 ...

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.

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.
