The subnivium is a seasonal refuge that exists at the interface between the snowpack and the ground, and provides a haven for a diversity of species to survive extreme winter temperatures.Due to the fitness of many plants and animals being strongly influenced by winter conditions, much attention has been given to changes in the timing of snow cover

Snow avalanches break, uproot and overturn trees causing damage to forests.The extent of forest damage provides useful information on avalanche frequency and intensity.However, impact forces depend on avalanche flow regime.In this paper, we define avalanche loading cases representing four different avalanche flow regimes: powder, intermittent, dry

Waste tires are a low-cost and high-calorific alternative fuel, therefore energy recovery is still very popular method of their utilization.On the other hand, waste tires are composed from high quality components and can be considered as valuable source of raw materials.Recent trends showed that further development of waste tire recycling technolog

Chemical-induced ROMPERS oxidative stress and the biochemical pathways that protect against oxidative damage are of particular interest in the field of toxicology.To rapidly identify oxidative stress-responsive gene expression changes in zebrafish, we developed a targeted panel of antioxidant genes using the Affymetrix QuantiGene Plex (QGP) platfor
