Experimental Simulation of Wet-Snow Shedding from Sagged Cables [PDF]

The process of wet-snow shedding from overhead cables was simulated in cold-chamber experiments under different ambient conditions. The main objective of the study was to examine how cable sag influences the snow-shedding process. However, the effects of

Micrometeorological processes driving snow ablation in an Alpine catchment [PDF]

, 2011
Mountain snow covers typically become patchy over the course of a melting season. The snow pattern during melt is mainly governed by the end of winter snow depth distribution and the local energy balance.

Study on Wind-Blown Snow Hazards and Snow Fence Parameters Based on Different Cutting Depths of Mountain Highways

Atmosphere
To address the severe snow accumulation within road cuttings triggered by wind-blown snow on mountainous highways, and to elucidate the influence mechanisms of cutting depth and snow fence parameters on the wind–snow flow field, this study presents a ...

Spatio-temporal influence of tundra snow properties on Ku-band (17.2 GHz) backscatter [PDF]

, 2015
During the 2010/11 boreal winter, a distributed set of backscatter measurements was collected using a ground-based Ku-band (17.2 GHz) scatterometer system at 26 open tundra sites.

A Closer Look at Rape Myth Beliefs Among University Students: Comparisons and Correlates Based on Field and Stage of Study, Victimisation Experiences, Demographics and Psychological Traits

Behavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disproportionate rates of sexual violence occur among university students, with rape culture and misconceptions about consent prevalent. To comprehensively examine rape myth beliefs among different student groups, 417 UK University students enrolled on courses in four distinct disciplinary areas; social sciences (n = 131), applied sciences (n =

Good Deeds for Self‐Gain? How Self‐Enhancement Motivates Pro‐Environmental Behaviour in Entitled Consumers

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While personality traits often influence individuals' willingness to engage in prosocial and pro‐environmental behaviours, psychological entitlement tends to undermine such actions. Although extensive research has highlighted the negative social consequences of entitlement, including its impact on pro‐environmental behaviours, its potential to
