Lightning attachment to power transmission lines
, 2012 The effect of lightning channel inclination on the attachment of lightning flashes to UHV transmission lines is investigated using a lightning strike model that takes into account the competing connecting leaders issued from different conductors.

Macromolecular Symposia, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ultrasonic Guided Waves (UGWs) are widely employed for the inspection and monitoring of plate‐like structures due to their long‐range propagation capability and sensitivity to structural and material changes. In real aerospace components, however, structural surfaces are commonly covered by protective layers, such as coatings or metallic films,

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract High nature value (HNV) pastoral systems, that is those maintained by herding, transhumance and extensive grazing practices, are recognised as cornerstones of European biodiversity, cultural heritage and ecosystem service provision. Yet these systems are currently under significant pressure from a range of economic, social and environmental ...

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1903 A powerful man, weighing 212 pounds, 36 years old, was struck by lightning. In about 10 or 15 minutes I found him deeply cyanosed, skin relaxed and cool and the heart beating feebly, but there was no visible respiration. I gave him hypodermic injections of strychnin, whisky and finally the normal salt solution, keeping up artificial respiration for ten

Lightning is a major cause of large tree mortality in a lowland Neotropical forest.
New Phytologist, 2019 The mortality rates of large trees are critical to determining carbon stocks in tropical forests, but the mechanisms of tropical tree mortality remain poorly understood.

Excitation of visual sensory experiences by electromagnetic fields of lightning
, 2012 In this chapter, we will consider the possible interactions, either direct or indirect, of the lightning-generated electromagnetic fields with the brain or the visual system of humans to induce visual sensations. Some of these visual sensations are known
