Is Fintech Good for Bank Performance? The Case of Mobile Money in the East African Community

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mobile money, a technology‐driven innovation in financial services, has profoundly penetrated the financial landscape in Sub‐Saharan Africa, including banks. Yet, besides anecdotal evidence, little is known about whether mobile money adoption enhances or worsens bank performance.

Lightning Protection Methods for Wind Turbine Blades: An Alternative Approach

Applied Sciences, 2020
Lightning strikes happens in a fraction of time, where they can transfer huge amounts of charge and high currents in a single strike. The chances for a structure to be struck by lightning increases as the height increases; thus, tall structures are more ...

Cardiac Effects of Lightning Strikes

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2017
Lightning strikes are a common and leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Multiple organ systems can be involved, though the effects of the electrical current on the cardiovascular system are one of the main modes leading to cardiorespiratory arrest in these patients.

The missing woodland story: Implications of 1700 years of stand‐scale change on ‘naturalness’ and managing remnant broadleaved woodlands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.

Observations of a frontal–trough merger over a wildfire, Queensland, Australia

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Observations are presented of the meteorology of a frontal–trough merger in subtropical Australia which impacted a wildfire. An elevated nocturnal mixed layer above approx. 2500 m with increasing moisture with height was identified as the source of instability that resulted in the formation of elevated storms along a 300‐km frontal–trough boundary ...

ECG changes of lightning strike, mimicking acute myocardial infarction

IHJ Cardiovascular Case Reports, 2018
Lightning strike can cause injuries which are of no significance to fatal injuries or instantaneous death. Very few cases have been reported on ECG changes due to lightning strike.

Evaluation of video evidence of possible ball lightning

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We analyze images of possible ball lightning that appeared less than 10 m from a video camera. The objects' velocity and estimated brightness all agree with typical eyewitness accounts of ball lightning. Though there is an alternative explanation that the objects were sparks from a power‐line arc, we describe analytical techniques that assist in ...

Rethinking the Spanish plume: An airstream analysis challenges the canonical conceptual model

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Three‐dimensional airstream model showing the history of air‐parcel trajectories arriving at Nottingham on 1200 UTC 1 July 2015 at 950, 850, 650 and 250 hPa, respectively. Four different airstreams are illustrated, none of which can be easily called the Spanish‐plume airstream.

Conceptualizing Resilience, Sustainability and Smartness for Building Fire Risk Management

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Resilience, sustainability, and smartness (ReSuSm) within the building construction sector impact, or are impacted by building fires in one way or another. Hence, consideration of ReSuSm for building fire risk management (BFRM) is imperative to enhance safety and mitigate adverse impacts.
