Cloud-Model-Based Method for Risk Assessment of Mountain Torrent Disasters [PDF]
Water (Switzerland), 2018 Mountain torrent disasters are common natural hazards that occur in mountainous terrains. The risk assessment of mountain torrent disasters entails a multi-criteria decision-making process and involves a transformation between qualitative and quantitative uncertainties. By incorporating probability statistics and fuzzy set theories, cloud model derived

Capture efficiency of torrent ducks by the active mist‐net method
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017 We report on the use and efficiency of an active mist‐net method for capturing 3 subspecies of torrent ducks (Merganetta armata), a territorial and specialized South American waterfowl, in fast‐moving rivers of the Andes Mountains.

Methods for detecting channel bed surface changes in a mountain torrent – experiences from the Dorfbach torrent [PDF]
Geographica Helvetica, 2015 Abstract. The erosion of and depositions on channel bed surfaces are instrumental to understanding debris flow processes. We present an overview of existing field methods and highlight their respective advantages and disadvantages. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), airborne laser scanning (ALS), erosion sensors, cross sections (CS) and geomorphological

Deep sequencing of hepatitis B virus using Ion Torrent fusion primer method
Journal of Virological Methods, 2022 Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is worldwide a major cause of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Thousands of years ago, several HBV genotypes (A-I) evolved and have, as a result of human migration, become globally disseminated. Sequencing of HBV is used for genotyping, and investigation of outbreaks or of antiviral resistance. The present

Debris-flow surges of a very active alpine torrent: a field database [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 This paper presents a methodology to analyse debris flows focusing at the surge scale rather than the full scale of the debris-flow event, as well as its application to a French site.
