Abstract. The assessment of uncertainties in landslide susceptibility modelling a changing environment is an important, yet often neglected, task. In Austrian case study, we investigated the uncertainty cascade storylines emerging from climate change and parametric model uncertainty. June 2009, extreme events heavy thunderstorms occurred Styrian Basin, triggering thousands landslides. Using sto...

background: external causes of death are still among the main causes of death in the countries of the former soviet :union:. we studied epidemiology of injuries among elderly in a typical kazakhstani city. methods: data on all injuries among individuals aged 60 yr or older in the city of semey (former semipalatinsk) from 2010 to 2012 was collected from medical files. we present absolute numbers...

Northern dialects of the Mayan language Mam have a ternary weight scale for assigning stress, with added wrinkle that syllables glottal codas are heavier than those other coda types: VV > Vʔ VC V. This ranking is initially surprising under currently accepted prominence theory (Ryan 2019, 2020), where all equally moraic in contexts. However, phonetic experiment undertaken by Kuo & Elkins ...

Rain rate and rain attenuation predictions are one of the vital steps to be considered when analyzing a microwave satellite communication links at the Ku and Ka bands. In this paper, tools for the prediction of rain rate and rain attenuation are presented in the form of contour maps for Nigeria using a massive rainfall data bank of 30 years which are taken from measurements made from the coast ...

Rain removal from a video is a challenging problem and has been recently investigated extensively. Nevertheless, the problem of rain removal from a single image was rarely studied in the literature, where no temporal information among successive images can be exploited, making the problem very challenging. In this paper, we propose a single-imagebased rain removal framework via properly formula...

This effort continues a study of the effects of rain, over the oceans, on the signal retrieved by the SeaWinds scatterometer. It is determined that the backscatter radar cross section can be used to estimate the volumetric rain rate, averaged horizontally, across the surface resolution cells of the scatterometer. The dual polarization of the radar has a key role in developing this capability. T...
