Natural disaster risk salience and the strategic appointment of directors with sustainability expertise

Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how salient sustainability risks from near‐miss natural disasters influence board composition. Using a difference‐in‐differences design, I find that firms located in counties neighboring disaster‐affected areas significantly increase the presence of directors with sustainability expertise following the disaster.

On the influence of corona on lightning-induced overvoltages

, 2010
An experimentally inferred charge-voltage (Q-V) diagram used to macroscopically model the corona phenomenon is adopted for the calculation of the lightning-induced transients in presence of corona. The paper aim at presenting the calculation procedure as

DETERMINATION OF THE LEVEL OF OVERVOLTAGE IN THE SECONDARY CIRCUITS OF SUBSTATIONS WHEN LIGHTNING IMPULSE VOLTAGE IS DISTRIBUTED IN HIGH-VOLTAGE BUSES

Известия высших учебных заведений и энергетических объединенний СНГ: Энергетика, 2017
Lightning voltage impulse due to the waves of storm surge rolling out the high voltage line to a substation causes current to flow in the buses that, due to magnetic effect, induces overvoltage in the secondary circuit.

When insurers retreat: The governance of wildfire disasters and how FAIR plans allocate climate risk

Risk Management and Insurance Review, EarlyView.
Abstract As wildfire risk accelerates private insurer retreat, state‐governed FAIR Plans increasingly serve as the primary coverage available in hazard‐prone areas. This paper analyzes these residual markets as instruments of disaster governance, arguing that their design reflects distributive political choices regarding risk allocation.

Disasters, Dictators, and Donors: The Impact of Foreign Aid on Economic Activity (Mis)Reporting

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how governments manipulate economic data to secure more foreign disaster aid. By using nighttime lighting as a reliable measure of economic activity, we make two key findings: (1) foreign disaster aid is positively linked to a country's understatement of its gross domestic product, indicating a deliberate strategy to ...

Charge structure in volcanic plumes: a comparison of plume properties predicted by an integral plume model to observations of volcanic lightning during the 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull, Iceland [PDF]

, 2014
Observations of volcanic lightning made using a lightning mapping array during the 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull allow the trajectory and growth of the volcanic plume to be determined.

From Policy Legitimization to Blame Avoidance—Discursive Strategies During Denmark's Mink Culling Crisis

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how governments navigate policy legitimacy during crises through three distinct discursive processes: legitimization, delegitimization, and blame avoidance. Using a sequential mixed‐methods design, the study analyzes Denmark's decision to cull all mink during the COVID‐19 pandemic. The quantitative analysis of 947 newspaper

Lightning Protection Technology for Overhead Insulated Lines of 10kV Distribution Network Based on Linear Least Square Positioning Method

Journal of Applied Science and Engineering
The calculation of the series gap distance of the lightning protection device in the 10 kV distribution network is rough, and the positioning error of the lightning strike point may be large, which affects the stability of electricity consumption ...

A Novel Distributed Sensor Network to Assess Wind Turbine Blade Acoustics for Structural Health Monitoring

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT To reduce the need for scheduled wind turbine blade inspections and large‐scale repairs, a novel distributed acoustic sensing system for monitoring the structural health of wind turbine blades is proposed. This integral passive monitoring system utilizes a sparse array of in‐blade multimodal sensors and a single blade‐external downtower sensor,
