Lightning strike is one of the most frequent causes of death due to natural phenomena. In such cases, cardiac injury is the main cause of death, with type of lesion varying by type of impact. We report the case of a 29-year-old woman who was struck indirectly by lightning. Upon hospital admission, she showed both the echocardiographic disturbances characteristic of direct impact and electrocard...
متن کاملLightning Does Not Strike Twice: Robust MDPs with Coupled Uncertainty
We consider Markov decision processes under parameter uncertainty. Previous studies all restrict to the case that uncertainties among different states are uncoupled, which leads to conservative solutions. In contrast, we introduce an intuitive concept, termed “Lightning Does not Strike Twice,” to model coupled uncertain parameters. Specifically, we require that the system can deviate from its n...
متن کاملMultiscale Analysis of Lightning Strike Maps
Electric power utilities face increasing demand for service reliability. Since cloud-toground lightning strikes are among the most frequent yet least understood causes of service interruption, predicting the geographical and temporal distribution of the lightning strikes can help power system planners and designers improve the protection of new and existing transmission lines. Lightning is the ...
متن کاملBasal ganglia hemorrhage related to lightning strike.
We describe a case of bilateral basal ganglia hemorrhage after a lightning strike to the head documented by a CT scan. Review of the literature shows this to be the most common brain imaging finding that can be attributed to a lightning strike. Several mechanistic theories are discussed, with the most plausible one being related to preferential conduction pathways through the brain.
