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, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, 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 ...

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 ...

Method for displaying field e.g. tumor, of brain of human patient during surgery of brain, involves acquiring topography data representing topography of field, where output image is displayed based on topography data

Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger, Antonio Lopez, Erica Martin-Williams

NOVELTY - The method involves illuminating a field (11) of brain (13) of a patient for acquiring an image sequence of the field. The field is illuminated after stimulating the patient for acquiring another image sequence. The image sequences are evaluated ...

Assessing Digital Surface Models by Verifying Shadows: A Sensor Network Approach

Martin Vetterli, François Golay, Claudio Magalhaes Carneiro, Mina Karzand

We propose to use wireless sensor networks to assess the accuracy and application of Digital Surface Models (DSM) for the study of shadowing and solar radiation over the built environment. Using the ability of sensor network data to provide information abo ...
