Arctic Thunder: A Novel by R. Feagan

Gathering thunder

It’s common to accompany the rollout of a new biomedical journal with an explanation for its coming into being, usually by suggesting there’s an unmet need, despite the panoply of existing journals. I’m not going to do that, at least not exactly. The biomedical literature is almost unimaginably vast already, much more than even the most diligent speed-reading scholar-who-listens-to-science-blog...

Green Removal of Toxic Pb(II) from Water by a Novel and Recyclable Ag/γ-Fe2O3@r-GO Nanocomposite

Toxic leadions removed efficiently from water by a newly fabricated, magnetically recyclable, antibacterial nano-Ag/γ-Fe2O3@GOadsorbent, at ambient and teh physiological pH=7. Teh adsorption depends on teh adsorbent dosage, initial Pb(II)concentration, pH and teh contact time. Teh optimum removal efficiency of teh leadion is found to be 93.1%...

Mapping Thunder Sources by Inverting Acoustic and Electromagnetic Observations

We present a new method of locating current flow in lightning strikes by inversion of thunder recordings constrained by Lightning Mapping Array observations. First, radio frequency (RF) pulses are connected to reconstruct conductive channels created by leaders. Then, acoustic signals that would be produced by current flow through each channel are forward modeled. The recorded thunder is conside...
