Shield to Pin Coupling of Lightning-Like Transients on Payload Umbilical Cables on a Launch Pad [PDF]
In this paper we describe in-situ testing of a long payload umbilical, on a launch site, injected with lightning- like transients and describe resulting pin-to-pin voltages.

Axial muscle‐fibre orientations in larval zebrafish
In 4 days post‐fertilization zebrafish larvae, the fast axial muscle fibres follow helical trajectories that taper towards the tail. Adjacent muscle fibres form substantial angles relative to each other to accommodate this pattern. Using a novel semi‐automatic method, we quantified 3D fibre angles over the whole muscle volume.

The SD1 locus affects primary seed dormancy in winter malting barley. [PDF]
Abstract Preharvest sprouting (PHS) resistance and seed dormancy are key targets for malting barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in environments with a high probability of rain events at harvest. Characterization has been limited in winter malting barley compared to spring malting barley in the United States.

Assessment and forecasting of lightning potential and its effect on launch operations at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and John F. Kennedy Space Center [PDF]
Lightning plays a pivotal role in the operation decision process for space and ballistic launches at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Kennedy Space Center. Lightning forecasts are the responsibility of Detachment 11, 4th Weather Wing's Cape Canaveral

Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes
Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Mountain‐top spherules: Criteria to identify natural and synthetic particles
Abstract Natural microspherules are important tracers of geologic and environmental processes in modern and ancient deposits. However, anthropogenic contamination can dilute natural collections by releasing synthetic microspherules into the environment.
