We present a discussion on the effect of nearby buildings on the electric and magnetic fields radiated by lightning. Electric and magnetic fields radiated from distant natural lightning have been measured simultaneously on the roof of a building (the Power Systems Laboratory of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, Switzerland) and on the ground at different distances away from i...

A new scaling variable is introduced in terms of which nuclear shadowing in deepinelastic scattering is universal, i.e. independent of A, Q2 and x. This variable can be interpreted as a measure of the number of gluons probed by the hadronic fluctuations of a virtual photon during their lifetime. The shadowing correction grows at small x substantially less steeply than is suggested by the eikona...

The current normalization of the cross section of inclusive high-p T particle production in deuteron-gold collisions measured at RHIC relies on Glauber model calculations for the inelastic dAu cross section. These calculations should be corrected for diffrac-tion. Moreover, they miss the Gribov's inelastic shadowing which makes nuclei more transparent (color transparency) and reduce the inelast...

We propose the first continuous model with long range screening (shadowing) that described columnar growth in one space dimension, as observed in plasma sputter deposition. It is based on a new continuous partial derivative equation with non-linear diffusion and where the shadowing effects apply on all the different processes.

This paper presents the shadowing analysis of a body area network (BAN) diversity antenna based on the statistical measurements of the human walking motion. First, the dynamic characteristics of the armswing motion were measured using human subjects, and a statistical analysis was then carried out using the measured data to extract useful information for the analysis of a BAN diversity antenna....

In this paper, we analyse the joint impact of pathloss, shadowing and fast fading on wireless networks. Taking into account the pathloss and the shadowing, we first express the SINR distribution of a mobile located at a given distance from its serving base-station (BS). The moments of this distribution are easily computed, using the Fenton-Wilkinson method, and a fluid model that considers the ...

We review predictions of the theory of leading twist nuclear shadowing for inclusive unpolarized and polarized deuteron structure functions F 2 , g 1 and b 1 and for the tagged deuteron structure function F 2 (x,Q, ~ p). We analyze the possibility to extract the neutron structure function F 2 from electron-deuteron data and demonstrate that an account of leading twist nuclear shadowing leads to...

Unintegrated parton distributions in proton and nucleus are predicted by a modified DGLAP equation incorporating the shadowing corrections, which include exact energy-momentum conservation in each splitting and fusion vertices. We find that the suppression of the unintegrated gluon distribution when kt → 0 may arise from the valence-like input rather than the saturation effect, although the non...

Preparatory procedures and high resolution shadowing of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules for electron microscopy are described. They involve a two-stage mounting of the DNA on cytochrome c monolayers and shadowing with tantalum-tungsten. Conditions are determined that produce a smooth substrate and reproducible binding of the DNA strands in a randomly coiled manner without obvious stretchi...
