Practical Implications of Regional Avalanche Survival Curves
An avalanche survival curve is a graphical illustration of survival probability during complete avalanche burial as a function of time. The purpose of calculating these curves is not only to illustrate that survival is time-dependent, but to deduce practical information from the course of the curve. The step-wise decrease of survival over time was first recognized in the original curve in 1994 ...
متن کاملLessons learned from avalanche survival patterns.
E366 CMAJ, April 19, 2011, 183(7) © 2011 Canadian Medical Association or its licensors The study by Haegeli and coauthors in CMAJ provides new insight into survival patterns after complete avalanche burial. The authors report survival curves from data for 301 complete avalanche burials in Canada from 1980 to 2005 and compare them with the standard survival curve derived from Swiss data for 946 ...
متن کاملThe long-term survival chances of young massive star clusters
I review the long-term survival chances of young massive star clusters (YMCs), hallmarks of intense starburst episodes often associated with violent galaxy interactions. In particular, I address the key question as to whether at least some of these YMCs can be considered proto-globular clusters (GCs). In the absence of significant external perturbations, the key factor determining a cluster’s l...
متن کاملA-Life - Increasing Survival Chances in Avalanches by Wearable Sensors
Avalanches are one of the major threats to life in high mountain terrain. Once buried by an avalanche, survival chances dramatically drop from 92% after 15 minutes to only 30% after 35 minutes mostly due to the lack of oxygen. It is therefore extremely important to rescue any victims as fast as possible in order to maximize survival chances. Today’s technology, so called electronic avalanche be...
متن کاملThe impact of avalanche rescue devices on survival.
BACKGROUND Within Europe and North America, the median annual mortality from snow avalanches between 1994 and 2003 was 141. There are two commonly used rescue devices: the avalanche transceiver, which is intended to speed up locating a completely buried person, and the avalanche airbag, which aims to prevent the person from being completely buried. OBJECTIVE This retrospective study aimed to ...
