Ventilation-respiratory changes and diffusion of gases in the simulated snow avalanche
Sýkora, Karel ; Bartůňková, Staša (advisor) ; Hampl, Václav (referee)
Title: Ventilation - respiratory changes and diffusion of gases in the simulated snow avalanche. Goals: The aim of this study was to investigate different ventilation-respiratory parameters with breathing into the simulated snow avalanche with and without any air pockets. Method: An intervention randomized double blind crossover study was conducted on 12 male students of Military Department at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports of Charles University. The study was realized in the Krkonoše Mountains in the period January 14 - 18th, 2013 at an altitude of 762 m above sea level. Each volunteer underwent two phases of the experiment in a random order: 1st phase "AP"- breathing into the snow with a 1 L air pocket, and 2nd phase "NP"- breathing into the snow with no air pocket. Physiological parameters, especially fractions of O2 and CO2 in the airways and work of breathing (WoB) expressed as Pressure- Time Product (PTP) were recorded continuously. Results: The presence of the air pockets and size has an important role in the survival of buried avalanche victims. The finding of this study is that it is possible to breath in the avalanche snow even with no air pocket (0 L), but breathing under this condition is associated with significantly increased work of breathing. The limiting factor in no...

DETECTION OF SNOW AVALANCHE DEBRIS FROM SATELLITE SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR (SAR) DATA Abstract This thesis engages with detection of snow avalanche debris at radar images taken with synthetic aperture radar on Sentinel-1 satellite. The aim is to find method for recognizing places at image where is the snow avalanche debris. A method is based on neural net principle, specifically on using pre-trained model of neural net VGG-19. According to results of neural net, training images are splitted into two cathegories: there is an avalanche and there is not. It is called binary classification. The result is statistical evaluation of success rate compared with other traditional methods. keywords: snow avalanche, Sentinel-1, neural net, VGG-19

Analysis of tree growth on avalanche slopes in the Krkonoše Mts.
JANDOVÁ, Veronika
I applied dendrochronological methods to reconstruct snow avalanches in the Krkonoše national park. Tree-ring analyses are based on samples from Norway spruce (Picea abies),which is dominant species growing on selected avalanche slopes (Pramenný důl, Navorská jáma and Pančavská stěna). Mean growth curve were constructed for chosen localities and two different approaches were applied (detection of growth release and occurrence of resin ducts) for avalanche reconstruction.
