Characteristics of return stroke electric fields produced by lightning flashes at distances of 1 to 15 kilometers [PDF]
Electric field derivative signals from single and multiple lightning strokes are presented. For about 25 pct. of all acquired waveforms, produced by return strokes, stepped leaders or intracloud discharges, type and distance of the signal source are ...

Return to work after stroke: a nursing state of the science. [PDF]
, 2014 There is a lack of research related to return to work (RTW) after acute ischemic stroke. Historically considered a disease of the elderly, acute ischemic stroke studies have not routinely used return to work as an outcome.

Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

Current Range in Lightning Return Strokes
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science, 2012 In our investigation of breakdown waves, we use a one-dimensional, steady-state, constant velocity fluid model. This investigation involves breakdown waves for which the electric field force on electrons is in the opposite direction of wave propagation.

Power and energy dissipation in subsequent return strokes as predicted by a new return stroke model [PDF]
Recently, Cooray introduced a new return stroke model which is capable of predicting the temporal behavior of the return stroke current and the return stroke velocity as a function of the height along the return stroke channel.

Returning to work after stroke: perspectives of employer stakeholders, a qualitative study. [PDF]
, 2012 Purpose: More than 40 % of working age adults with stroke fail to return to work. The work context is a key factor in return to work, but little is known about the experiences of employers in supporting employees with stroke. The aim of this study was to

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study explores how information processing is distributed between brains and bodies through a codesign approach. Using the “backpropagation through soft body” framework, brain–body coupling agents are developed and analyzed across several tasks in which output is generated through the agents’ physical dynamics.

Electrification in winter storms and the analysis of thunderstorm overflight data [PDF]
We have been focusing our study of electrification in winter storms on the lightning initiation process, making inferences about the magnitude of the electric fields from the initial pulses associated with breakdown, i.e., with the formation of the ...
