High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The direct effects of lightning strikes on forest combustibles form the foundation for predicting lightning‐induced forest fires. Accurate assessment of lightning impact is hindered by limited knowledge of the conduction characteristics of standing larch trees.

Lightning Strike Victim Data [PDF]
About 40 million lightning strikes hit the ground in the United States each year. But the odds of being struck by lightning in a given year are less than one in a million, and almost 90% of all lightning strike victims survive.

Basic lightning flash properties derived from lightning mapping array data
The size and duration of lightning flashes are examined. Data from the Ebro Valley Laboratory Lightning Mapping Array is used as reference. Additional data from the VLF/LF LINET network is included.

Modeling lightning strikes to tall towers
In this chapter, we present a review of recent progress in the modeling of lightning strikes to tall structures. Since some tall structures are struck by lightning several tens of times per year, they can be used as ground-truth to measure and calibrate ...

The Political Ecology of the ‘New’ Feminism in Late‐1990s Britain
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The 1990s were a vexed time for feminists in Britain. Cultural commentators declared that feminism's key battles had been won, and that given women's ascendency across various political and cultural barometers of success, the country was entering a newly ‘postfeminist’ era.

Barbara's Daughters: Women's Boxing and Social Memory in Britain
History, EarlyView.Abstract A pioneer of post‐war boxing, Barbara Buttrick fought in fairgrounds and on music‐hall stages in Britain and France before making a career in the United States during the 1950s. She fought against practical obstacles, prejudice and discrimination to become the Women's World Flyweight and Bantamweight Champion in 1957. This article examines her

Individual bird identification by modelling temporal structure in bioacoustic embeddings
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Identifying individual animals from vocalizations is an emerging research area in computational bioacoustics. This non‐invasive approach reduces reliance on physical capture and tagging for wildlife monitoring. Recent advances in this area leverage deep learning and bioacoustic foundation models adapted from species‐level classifiers. However,

Understanding lightning leaders [PDF]
, 2016 a lightning flash is defined by the initiation and multiple development of leaders. But lightning leaders are still poorly understood. Since most of my atmospheric electricity has been focused on lightning that means that it has been devoted to ...
