Lightning Mapping: Techniques, Challenges, and Opportunities [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Despite the significant progress made in studying the lightning phenomenon, precise location and mapping of its occurrence remain a challenge. Lightning mapping can be determined by studying the electromagnetic radiation accompanying the lightning discharges. It can contribute substantially to efforts made to protect lives and valuable assets.

A Study of Lightning Activity over Different Ecological Zones of Nepal [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In the present work, occurrence of lightning activity over different ecological zones of Nepal has been studied. It has been observed that Lower Tropical zone receives lightning strikes with largest value of density of strikes whereas the Trans-Himalayan zone receives lightning strikes with least value of density of strikes.

Ocular involvement in newly diagnosed pediatric leukemia: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.The global prevalence of ocular involvement in pediatric leukemia is estimated to be 20.32%, which is more common than previously recognized. Given the high rate of asymptomatic involvement, screening for all newly diagnosed leukemia patients is recommended.

Log-Gaussian Cox Process Modeling of Large Spatial Lightning Data using Spectral and Laplace Approximations [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Lightning is a destructive and highly visible product of severe storms, yet there is still much to be learned about the conditions under which lightning is most likely to occur. The GOES-16 and GOES-17 satellites, launched in 2016 and 2018 by NOAA and NASA, collect a wealth of data regarding individual lightning strike occurrence and potentially ...

The Effect of Seductive Details on Knowledge Retention in Physics Videos: A Mixed Methods Study
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Research reports that interesting but irrelevant information, seductive details, in teaching material can impede learning. In science education, the inclusion of historical narratives in lessons to promote interest has been recommended but may hinder learning.

Multi-scale Residual Transformer for VLF Lightning Transients Classification [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The utilization of Very Low Frequency (VLF) electromagnetic signals in navigation systems is widespread. However, the non-stationary behavior of lightning signals can affect VLF electromagnetic signal transmission. Accurately classifying lightning signals is important for reducing interference and noise in VLF, thereby improving the reliability and ...

Retrospective Observation of Ball Lightning [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Ball lightning is a very rarely observed phenomenon that makes it extremely difficult to characterize scientifically. Eye-witness accounts of ball lightning that describe many features in common have been variously recorded for centuries. This note is an account of my observation of ball lightning almost five decades ago.
