Mechanisms of slab avalanche release and impact in the Dyatlov Pass incident in 1959

The Dyatlov Pass incident is an intriguing unsolved mystery from the last century. In February 1959, a group of nine experienced Russian mountaineers perished during a difficult expedition in the northern Urals. A snow avalanche hypothesis was proposed, am ...

An Efficient FDTD Method to Calculate Lightning Electromagnetic Fields Over Irregular Terrain Adopting the Moving Computational Domain Technique

Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Wenhao Hou, Qilin Zhang

We present an improved finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method based on the moving computational domain technique for the calculation of lightning-generated fields over large-scale irregular terrain. In the improved method, a spatial window moving alon ...

Sequence-dependent mechanical, photophysical and electrical properties of pi-conjugated peptide hydrogelators

Matteo Togninalli

The ability to modulate intermolecular interactions in such a way as to impact nano-, micro- and even macroscale properties is an attractive aspect of self-assembling systems. We present an investigation of sequence-dependent rheological, photophysical and ...

Automated Assessment of Digital Terrain Models Derived From Airborne Laser Scanning

Jan Skaloud, Philipp Schär

This paper presents the derivation of surface-related quality indicators describing the confidence-metrics of the final geo-products de- rived from airborne laser scanning (ALS). We first discuss the number of factors influencing the qual- ity of the digit ...
